Blue managed on his own, and Eivind didn't find it necessary to go barging in on him. He did take his time, enough that Eivind was fretting, wondering if Blue intended to just keep himself locked away in his bathroom after Eivind's recent behavior. He did come out eventually, dressed in the boxers he'd given him, and clean. Blue maintained distance between them, weary after the whole ordeal, and rightfully so. Regardless, it was still difficult for Eivind to process how his mate was feeling about him right then, and he had a seed of dread that Blue might not ever fully get used to him based on the trauma he'd undergone. He didn't care what Blue had done with the towel, or if his bathroom floor was soaked.<br/><br/>Eivind didn't know what to say now, especially since Blue had said very little. A long, tense silence hung between them, but Eivind didn't think running away from the situation was the answer. He'd endure Blue's contempt. Blue told him that he was tired, and Eivind thought that was him asking nicely for him to leave. He watched him crawl into the bed, and did nearly that, but Blue added in that Eivind could lay with him. He wasn't sure what to make of that, and if he should. Why was Blue allowing it after what he'd done? Maybe he was reluctant to be alone, and his options were slim. This was a completely unfamiliar place to him, and truly Eivind didn't want to leave him. There was this sense of urgency anytime he was away. Maybe it was just because Blue was in a constant state of distress. Hopefully once he was healthier, and stronger, the need would be less palpable. Eivind never thought of himself as particularly needy, yet he knew he was coming off as extremely overbearing. He was watching himself do it, and yet he couldn't seem to stop himself.<br/><br/>Eivind didn't think too long on it before climbing into the bed beside Blue with his jeans still on. He wasn't all that sleepy anymore, but he felt better to wait until Blue was sleeping again. At least then he would know he was at peace, and still not stressing over the incident in the shower. He didn't presume to touch at all this time, giving Blue space. The bed was plenty big enough for the both of them, and he could tell Blue hadn't come back around to him like they'd been before he'd gotten handsy. He didn't say anything at all, and was just a presence there until Blue's breathing evened and he'd relaxed into the sheets.<br/><br/>After that, he got up and pulled a real blanket from the closet. Eivind was usually hot, so he preferred just the sheet, but human's got colder than werewolves did. He tossed the blanket over Blue and quietly headed back downstairs, to clear his head a little bit more.<br/><br/>It wasn't long after that Sieger was at his front door, letting himself in. Eivind's attention had snapped to him, and he looked the male over. He was stitched all across his collar bone, like someone had been trying to get at his throat, and when he came forward, and Eivind got a good look at his back, he could see the extent of the damage there as well. Whatever had gone down between him and Lofgren, it had gotten nasty.<br/><br/>“I don't think I have to tell you how pissed I am at you,” Sieger snarled, glaring hard at Eivind. The other male had enough sense to stand up, at least so that he could meet the alpha's scorn like a man. “We've always gotten on well enough with Lofgren. Now you've opened up a can of shit I'm going to be left to clean up.”<br/><br/>“Mmm, well, at least nothing has changed with me,” Eivind spoke, giving a shrug. Sieger growled, not finding him funny.<br/><br/>“I could have gotten over your behavior with the boy, but killing one of his own was uncalled for. You should have known what it would mean for us. If he'd going to be the root cause of your unpredictable behavior, you know what my verdict is going to be in his regard,” Sieger spoke darkly. “I don't want a human here at all. Certainly not one who is going to cause trouble. You realize that is all he's going to be, right? He'd never going to understand the way we operate. He's never going to understand you. It would be better to cut ties now, and do what is proper for the pack.”<br/><br/>Eivind's expression had changed from indifference to anger in a flash. His posture changed, and he glanced towards the staircase. Sieger didn't move towards it, though Eivind was clearly uncomfortable, waiting for him to do something.<br/><br/>“I make the final decisions, but you know I don't do so without a say from the rest of the pack, so calm yourself. Don't even think about it right now,” Sieger warned, ignoring his posturing right that second. “Synnove doesn't agree with me. Neither does Alaric, be it his loyalty towards his sister, or that he's been trying to patch the kid back up. So for now, you can keep him here, so long as he stays contained, and we'll discuss this more. Next time I call on you, don't make me come find you or we're going to have more issues than just one.”<br/><br/>With that, Sieger turned to leave him, giving him a glance at his gnarled back once more. Eivind was already giving thought to what he'd do, worst case scenario. Of all people, Sieger should know what it meant to have a mate, since he had Synnove. Of course, his and Blue's situation was a little more complicated than that. Restless, Eivind headed back upstairs, expecting that Blue would still be sleeping and in bed.
