<span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family:Open Sans">If it hadn't been Blue's parents, nothing would have stopped the wolf from acting aggressively and maintaining his position at the door. They were people though he understood not to act against, because of their relation to his mate. Still, Eivind didn't appreciate them intruding upon them, especially since they were quite obviously in the middle of something, and no one was even giving Blue a chance to get dressed.<br/>
<br/>
Louis was going on about a temper and trying to take Blue away. Vincent must have twisted a pretty elaborate story to have his father so riled. Eivind wanted to laugh.<br/>
<br/>
“Just for talking to Blue? Is that what he told you?”<br/>
<br/>
Blue's mother was more focused on the scars. She'd zeroed right in on them in the way that mothers do. Eivind knew with that, things were liable to get serious. Blue made it clear Eivind wasn't responsible, but he doubted anyone would believe him given his 'violent nature'. Then Blue turned his fury to Vincent, demanding to know what he'd told them. Vincent didn't disappoint.<br/>
<br/>
“If I'm so dangerous, then you should take this as an indication to leave,” Eivind growled, another warning. He was lucky that Blue's parents were there. Most individuals weren't graced with a second warning from Eivind. He wasn't sure he had the patience for a third. Blue made things worse by getting out of bed, and further exposing himself. Not only that, but he stomped over to confront Vincent, where Eivind was still barring him from the doorway, and now his furious mate. Eivind was in agreement about one thing with his parent's, at least.<br/>
<br/>
“Blue, <i>please</i> put on some pants,” Eivind told him in exasperation. It was not the appropriate underwear for a family gathering or a meeting with an ex.<br/>
<br/>
The wolf turned into the spike of fury when Louis got a real good look at the damage done to his son's body. Of course, Eivind looked like the offending party, Blue dressed up like a plaything, stolen away from his family and hidden in a hotel room.<br/>
<br/>
Eivind matched the man's anger, unwilling to take the accusation. He would never have hurt Blue, and he wasn't about to let anyone take him away, parents or not.<br/>
<br/>
“I didn't do that. I wouldn't hurt him,” Eivind defended, unwavering. He didn't care that the older man had put himself in his face. He'd dealt with plenty of squabbling with other wolves, and it would take more than Blue's papa to intimidate him. At the same time, he maintained his respect in regards to Blue by not reacting, which wasn't difficult considering his usual style of handling confrontation part of the time. Still, he couldn't answer them as far as how it came to happen. That wasn't his place either.<br/>
<br/>
“As for Vincent here, he got what he deserved. I'm sure he left out the part where he grabbed Blue by the throat after he wouldn't let up. That is how he earned those bumps and bruises.”<br/>
<br/>
Eivind had turned slightly in the doorway, not quite with his back towards Vincent, but still partially tipped towards Louis. He had his arm out in front of Blue, where they were all jammed up into a small space, the air thick with tension.<br/>
<br/>
“Blue isn't leaving here with you and his ex-boyfriend,” he said, shaking his head. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't mind Blue going with his family if he'd wanted to. No telling how Vincent would twist all that, and he didn't trust him for a second. He realized in this he was getting exactly what he wanted; mayhem. He couldn't have taken his loss and his beating like a man. Blue wasn't his, would never be again, and so he wanted the whole damn ship to sink. He was doing a pretty good job of it, part of it just chance in that things really did <i>look </i>bad. Things <i>had</i> been bad, just not Eivind's doing.<br/>
<br/>
“We've known each other less time than we originally led you to believe,” Eivind admitted, finally. “I found him in the woods, not that long ago really. He'd been.. lost. Most likely didn't want to come back here to divulge all the shit he got into for running away. Pride, and all that. I didn't do that to him, and I'm not going to stand here with you pointing your god damned finger like I beat him.” He'd had enough, and he was done taking it from Louis. That was obvious by the tone of his voice, and the half-truths he was spewing. He knew now that they were going to have to come up with something better than their original, happy sort of meeting. Eivind wished it had been that way, but Blue's body contradicted that. An animal in the forest.. Eivind didn't know.</span></span>
