Pride Dev. #00

tld;r Cameron spoke his mind in the square of Dawn. His unfiltered comments, which threw jabs at his elders, created controversy which eventually prompted Theodore to take action. Theodore insisted on him showing respect and minding his tongue, but Cameron refused to censor himself on the account of another's wishes. This eventually leads to confrontation; where Cameron was easily defeated. Following the conclusion of the fight, in spite of his injuries, Cameron proceeds to insult Theodore.

His demeanor attracts the attention of Cho Grauhimmel, who expresses an interest in him because he reminds her of someone. The two briefly engage in conversation, where Cho explains that his attitude is liable to get him maimed or killed. Cameron responds by stating that the simple fact of the matter is--that is the price he is willing to pay to speak his mind.

[20:18] Theodore says, "Shut."
[20:18] Theodore says, "Up."
[20:19] Cameron Lawrence says, "Fuck you."
[20:19] Roanna Rosenkreuz says, "Theodore."
[20:19] Niklaus Rowan whispers: Oh no, man, you're going to get your arm broken! Ahaha!
[20:19] Roanna Rosenkreuz says, "All I'll say is:"
[20:19] Roanna Rosenkreuz says, "Don't kill him."
[20:19] Theodore says, "Very well."
[20:19] Chroma Zanders says, "Theo. Why don't you give him something to think about."
[20:19] Chroma Zanders says, "He's said enough."
[20:19] Theodore says, "Will do."
[20:19] Cho simply shakes her head.
(Cho Grauhimmel)
[20:20] Theodore asks, "Lady Cho, any objections?"
[20:20] Cho Grauhimmel says, "No. Fight."
[20:20] Niklaus literally snorts while laughing.
(Niklaus Rowan)
[20:20] Cho Grauhimmel says, "Whoever wins gets a Candy Cane, whatever."
[20:20] Anna Ultovex says, "..."
[20:20] Theodore says, "Understood."
[20:20] Chroma Zanders asks, "At least it's a child handling another, mnh?"
[20:20] Desmond Grainger whispers something.
[20:20] Cho is tired of it anyway.
(Cho Grauhimmel)
[20:20] Cameron Lawrence says, "What do you know? You wear a headband, shut up."
[20:21] Chroma Zanders says, "I really want to see teeth."
[20:21] Theodore says, "Your will is my hands."
[20:21] And with that, Niklaus scoots out of the way. This was hilarious.
(Niklaus Rowan)
[20:23] Cho steps forward, for now...She simply watches the two fight. Expecting this to end, well...Badly.
(Cho Grauhimmel)
[20:23] The loud-mouth looks around for a weapon. He jumps up a few times, removing a branch from the tree. Taking a moment to test its constitution, he slaps it against his knee a few times.

"Yeah, this'll do."

Placing one foot on the end of the bench, he points the stick at the girl with a scowl on his face.
(Cameron Lawrence)
[20:23] Theodore drops his sword into the ground and smiles. No killing, that's easy.
(Theodore)
[20:26] Cho Grauhimmel says, "I change my mind. That fight wasn't as entertaining as I'd hoped for."
[20:26] Niklaus Rowan says, "Dude."
[20:26] Niklaus Rowan says, "You got -slapped-."
[20:26] With the fight ending, literally quickly. He grabbed the boy by the back of his neck and slammed his face into the tree, making sure his mouth was open and biting on to the wood that was available. When that was achieved, the Oscuri moved the boy down, forcing the teeth that were connected to it to disconnect and leave his mouth bloody. When the boy's face met with the ground, Theodore slammed his foot into his dome to temporarily fuck up his jaw.

A smile came upon him, then, as his lips parted with the lines of Rieka shining;

"Next time a woman of power, or an elder says shut the FUCK up. You do it. No exceptions.
(Theodore)
[20:28] Bringing a hand up to his chest, he wheezes.

Literally wheezes as he laughs at his companion's fuckin' miserable misfortune. As stated, he wasn't particularly versed in holding onto things in any kind of 'I need it to remain!' manner.

It was hilarious, and anyone that couldn't see it was way too uptight, or they were prideful.

Either or.

"Aaaaaahhhh."
(Niklaus Rowan)
[20:30] Clearly, he was out of his element. The kid went into the fight with a twig against an armored opponent, who just so happened to have Azrael's blessing. There was no way he was going to match up with them, and he figured as much as soon as they began their assault.

It was a good old sandbag beat down. No two ways about it.

He couldn't hear the sound of the kid's voice over the ringing in his ears. Darkness crept around the corner of his eyes, his body wobbling for a moment. He'd be rendered unconscious any second now, but not before making himself clear.

He firmly planted his foot on the bench, spat some blood onto their pearly white hair and pointed to himself.

"Eat shit."
(Cameron Lawrence)
She shifts in place, her gaze flickering towards the reckless boy...Only to the one that seemed to 'position' himself higher than the rest of the children within the area. There is a brisk amount of silence from the woman, her gaze fixated upon his stature before she lifts her chin. Barbaric. There is a faint hum of Reika, pulsing in response to the bloodied mess. And yet...

What draws her attention is the Lawrence. Hmh. For now, she simply shakes her head from left to right before heading back towards her spot. Seemingly 'disinterested'...However, keeping an eye upon the situation. "Do not kill or maim him." Is all that is left as a parting word. As far as she knows...Maybe, this will turn into something interesting later on.

Perhaps an honor battle when the two are old enough.
(Cho Grauhimmel)
[20:32] Theodore didn't move from that spot, even with the blood hitting against his white hair. He didn't get any order to do anything else, so he simply stood there until said otherwise. His eyes moved over to Lady Cho, first, then Chroma, then everyone else, almost -wanting- to get another order from them.
(Theodore)
[20:34] Cameron slumps onto the ground.
(Cameron Lawrence)
The woman would have simply reached into her pocket to dig out a single handkerchief. Eventually, she would have found herself beginning to kneel down towards the Lawrence...Perhaps, out of nothing more than mere annoyance. But in the end, some could say that there was something different that she had enjoyed. He reminded her of a past fellow...Someone terribly reckless. His life ended due to the lack of respect but...If he were handled much earlier, then things would have been different.

Either way, whether he liked it or not...The handkerchief would be wiped roughly across his bloodied mouth, 'smearing' blood and more as she whispers within his ear - half way 'cleaning' him.
(Cho Grauhimmel)
[20:39] Cho Grauhimmel whispers: For someone so reckless, you sure do talk a lot of shit, kid. If you're going to do something like that- I suggest that you not fall to the ground afterwards.
[20:41] Cameron's eyelids fluctuated, opening and closing to an offbeat rhythm. He could taste the diluted red iron in his mouth as he came too, grunting in response to the woman's wiping. There was a tint of appreciation in his eyes, but it was hard to tell with his usual grumpy scowl.
(Cameron Lawrence)
[20:42] Cameron Lawrence whispers: I speak my mind, lady. No two ways about it. Getting my shit kicked in.. that's just the price I have to pay.
[20:43] Cho Grauhimmel whispers: Oh. I'm surprised. Not many kids are 'realists'..Interesting.
[20:43] Cho Grauhimmel whispers: You know, that's a bit insane, yes? You- insulting people and then getting handled.
[20:43] Cameron Lawrence whispers: I brought a stick to a sword fight. I knew what was going to happen, but I'm not going to let some ladyboy tell me what I can and can't do.
[20:44] Cho Grauhimmel whispers: Mmmh..
[20:44] Cho Grauhimmel whispers: You know what.
[20:44] Cho Grauhimmel whispers: You remind me of someone. I like you.
[20:44] Cho Grauhimmel whispers: Just don't let that attitude be your death.
[20:45] Cho Grauhimmel whispers: People here only acknowledge power. And if you aren't strong, they'll simply 'harm' you.
[20:45] Cho Grauhimmel whispers: But you already know that.
[20:46] Cho Grauhimmel whispers: Just don't die. I'd like to see you grow. And maybe, fight again another day. Against the one did this mess to you.
[20:46] Cameron Lawrence whispers: I'll learn to carry my weight. That won't be a damn issue.
[20:46] Cameron Lawrence whispers: But until then, I'm not going to let people tell me what I can and can't do. Fuck that.
[20:46] Cameron Lawrence whispers: Azrael gave us a mouth, and nobody is gonna' take away that gift he gave me. The one that lets my thoughts escape from my mouth.
[20:47] Cho Grauhimmel whispers: You talk like an Oscur-, one moment.
[20:47] Cho Grauhimmel says, "Excuse me."
[20:48] Cho Grauhimmel says, "You sound like an Oscuri. I told them to not maim or kill you but...Who knows how long they'll hold out on that if you don't have a filter. "
[20:49] Cho Grauhimmel whispers: Don't say I didn't warn you.
[20:49] Cho lightly patpats the boy's cheek before returning to her spot.
(Cho Grauhimmel)
[20:49] Cameron Lawrence says, "I don't need reika running through my veins to speak my mind. "
