"Oh - oh dear, how terrible," Layali said, looking rather distraught. "Someone should tell the head. What are we all doing standing around here?"

"Trying to keep these two from doing something stupid," Autumn said. "Well, if you had listened to me, it wouldn't be an issue," Logan said glaring down at her. "If you trusted me, it would be even less of an issue," Autumn spat back. Then she sighed. "Sorry, I know we've finished this conversation..."

Layali frowned, brow furrowing, and said, "Alright.. I guess I should go get the head, then.. If she asks, I woke you guys up and that's why you're out of bed after curfew. Not that she'd actually care, but you know."

Logan nodded and kissed the top of Layali's head. "Thanks, that's a big help," he said. "And, if at all possible, can you keep her from coming in here?" Autumn asked her friend. "I have a feeling this fight may get physical at some point and I'd like to avoid witnesses."

Layali started to head for the door, but hesitated at what Autumn said. "Fight?" she asked with a worried frown. She knew she should go to the head, should alert some authority to what had happened, but she was frozen in place with concern for Logan. "What's going on?"

"Don't worry, he'll be fine," Autumn said, sensing Layali's concern. "As soon as he moves to throw a punch, I'll hold him back with my powers. And if Logan even thinks of punching Daemon, he'll be held back too. I won't even have to move."

Layali hesitated a moment longer, then took Logan's hand, squeezed it, and murmured, "Be careful." She then slipped out of the room and was gone. Throughout all this, Daemon maintained an expression of vague astonishment.

Logan couldn't decide between wanting to keep Layali in the room for his own sanity or telling her to leave as fast as she could to protect her. He took a deep breath as he watched her leave before turning to Daemon again. He didn't say anything, he just stood there with his arms crossed. Autumn looked between the two and could sense the tension between the two. She started to get uncomfortable sitting against the wall, so she got up to sit on Daemon's bed. Logan felt she was going too close to him. He grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms. "Logan, let go," she said, exasperated, but not fighting his embrace. "No. You're not going near him," he growled back.
((Wow... that's long for a post that says nothing...))

Daemon lifted his chin slightly, expression slipping into one of dreamy boredom in response to the challenge and testosterone pulsing through the air. "Let her go," he said lightly, as though it were merely a suggestion instead of the order it was. "I think Autumn's old enough to make her own decisions."

"He's just trying to help, Daemon," Autumn said. "He doesn't trust you is all." "Of course not," Logan scoffed. "Why would I? You heard Layali. This guy is surrounded by death. It's not a mere whiff... not even an odor. It's like a cloud. An impenetrable cloud." Autumn glared up at her friend. "Now you're just being dramatic."

"I suppose you would know, wouldn't you?" Daemon said to Logan with the barest hint of an innocent smile.
[Short and sucky, I know.. But I wanted to post something before going to get my school stuff put together.]

"Ah, so she did tell you about me. This proves that you are capable of telling some form of the truth," Logan said. "Okay, seriously, if you don't let me go, I will force you to let me go, Logan," Autumn said, starting to struggling in his arms. "And no, I won't go near him because you will freak out." Logan sighed and let her go, but he didn't look happy about it. She sat in mid-air, looking infinitely more comfortable in that position, but not with the situation. "Now, can we deal with this like civilized people and not try to make this into a testosterone competition while you try to one-up each other?"

Daemon shrugged and said with a bright smile, "I don't know - I personally find pissing contests fun. I'm quite good at them."

Autumn turned to glare at Daemon. "Really? You have to encourage him?"

Daemon grinned at her, a brief flash of sincerity and the person he'd been in the dream world as he said, "Baby, I laugh in the face of danger."

Autumn gave him a weak laugh and a smile in response to the grin as she remembered one of her promises. "So I've been noticing." Logan noticed the tiny bit of sincerity and the change in Autumn. "This has to do something with what you won't tell me, doesn't it?" he asked.

Daemon immediately wiped his expression blank and leaned back against the headboard of his bed, waiting to see how Autumn would answer that.
[Sheer genius.]

((Wow... ))
Autumn bit her lip and looked to Daemon before answering Logan. "Well, sort of," she said. "I mean, not directly... but.." "Okay, I get it," Logan said. "It's one of those sorta-kinda-maybe-almost things where you still can't tell me the full story. I'll deal with not knowing."
((And now I need to go... And I won't be on a lot tomorrow night because I'm hanging out at Jenni's. This is actually gonna be the first time I've seen Mark since he left for PA.. and since he and his girlfriend broke up... this should be interesting. So, yeah. I'll be on in the morning, then maybe once in the afternoon, but that's it.))
