Theta told me about meeting him.

Look, you know he's an asshole, I know he's an asshole, let's give him some rope and let him hang himself.

[protective_logic]

Of course, Omega.

[baruthumos]

And don't get mad at Beta, okay? I told her it was all right.

[protective_logic]

Of course not. He's her twin. Which is why she made the decision.

[baruthumos]

I tried to talk her out of it, but you know how Eta gets. Now make her twenty years older and ten times stubborner.

[protective_logic]

Yes. I understand.

[baruthumos]

...goddamnit, you tricked me. And I don't think you even realize it.

[protective_logic]

That I got you to admit it was her idea? I knew what I was doing.

[baruthumos]

Don't be mad at her, alright? Gimme a minute and I'll come up with a reason why.

[protective_logic]

She decided to go behind our back about this, after we'd made a decision regarding the children we are the legal guardians of. And you agreed with her despite our previous discussion, and decided to try and protect her from me. A woman who admits to killing, doing it well, and potentially enjoying to a degree, and thus very decidedly does not require your protection.

I do not think being mad at her is an option, having an opinion is an option, or caring is an option.

[baruthumos]

He's our brother, D. You can't disown him just because he's a jerk.

[protective_logic]

[Sigh.]

Of course not.

[baruthumos]

Is he really worse than me? And at least this way she's not going behind our backs.

[protective_logic]

You don't laugh at me after you've accidentally or purposefully hurt me. You don't call Beta an asshole or a bitch. And when you accuse me of being broken, of lacking a sense of humor, of being 'pretty fucked up' because of Price, you say it because you're concerned or you're frustrated, or because you know how he hurt us BOTH. You don't do it because you're laughing your damn ass off.

So whatever you choose to do with that man, keep me out of it.

[baruthumos]

All I'm trying to do is make sure nobody thinks they have to lie to me about him, since apparently Theta and Epsilon think he's just the bees' knees.

[protective_logic]

Then they can have him.

[baruthumos]

And you won't have to hear about him at all. I'll take care of it.

Look, I tried, but sometimes you have to compromise to minimize the damage.

[protective_logic]

Compromise...

Trust me, I know what that is.

[baruthumos]

I know you know.

Sorry, I couldn't stop her.

[protective_logic]

You never had a chance, and I doubt you would have had it been discussed with you.

The only reason you don't like him is because of me, isn't it?

You've always wanted Alpha. You've always wanted him back and cared for him, and hoped for him. Please, don't let me hold you back from that.

[Better not to explain that the compromise he's thinking of doesn't have to do with their last few years, but a far more recent past.]

[baruthumos]

I sat in front of him for weeks without my helmet, and he never mentioned that he was also a member of the Weird Eyeball Club. And Beta wasn't out of the room five minutes before he made sure we all knew what he thought of you.

So yeah, I don't like him because of you. Because of what he said about you.

Wish there was something we didn't have to compromise.

[protective_logic]

Our lives are compromise. Our parents decided that for us.

[baruthumos]

Our parents never gave us that much thought.

[protective_logic]

And yet the decision is made.

[baruthumos]

...a specific decision? They didn't send another kid, did they?
