--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--

<Axel Rosen> Using his tome to get to the tree house from killing hunters in the sewers, he has been taking some time to go over his actions. He has just spoken to Jesse, spoken to Velve the other night. He probably blew up on Cat, but he's sure that's grounded in a little bit of reason. He had asked her, trusted her not to say anyone to anything, and yet she went and made this.. well, what it is. He decides that it's probably a good idea to go and speak to Velveteen and apologize. The apology wouldn't just be a words.. he'd mean them. he does honestly feel bad. The elevator takes him to the second floor where he spots the faction leader and starts to make his way in that direction.

<Micah> His wife had told him about the conversation she had had with Axel, down to the smallest detail. It was a pretty safe to say that Micah wasn't very happy about it. If there was one thing that pissed him off the fastest it was someone getting pissy with Vel. That was what had happened in this case, and it would be over his dead body that he would let Axel get close enough to try and do it again. Not without a very good reason. The sound of the elevator door opening drew his attention and the man in question stepped off heading straight for Vel. No, that wasn't going to happen so he stepped directly into his path allowing him to go no further.

<Axel Rosen> As he watches his faction leader walk off he looks to the man that has come in his way and he takes a short breath before a sigh. Though he probably knows what this is about doesn't mean that he wants to deal with it if he's completely honest. The multiple hoops to jump through is getting a bit ridiculous, but really he only has two people to blame for it: Cat and himself. Mainly himself, but still containment of the issue to let him sort things one person at a time would be nice; however, he doubts that will be allowed of him. "Evening Micah", he says but his voice is just full of a broken man, really no fight left in him at this moment. After the talk with his sire he has no real drive anymore. He just stands there ready for the verbal assault from Micah. Or a physical one at this point.

<Micah> His lips curled into a slight sneer as he stood there staring down at the man in front of him. Part of him admired the balls that Axel seemed to possess just from his attempt to get to Vel. And he wasn't moving or doing anything to protest the halt in his progress to get there. The other part of him wanted to just reach out, wrap his hand around Axel's throat and squeeze. Micah's hand actually twitches at his side but he fought the urge to do so. This was Jesse's childe, and a member of the faction. No matter how badly he wanted to throttle the man he wouldn't do it. "Evenin Axel," he drawled softly. "What ya think ya doin?"

<Axel Rosen> His eyes actually lift up to look the male in the eyes as he realizes that, at least for the moment, the words wouldn't be hostile ones and he may have some hope of not having to fight everyone. He breathes out his answer, more of that broken tone that he had used before as he tries to offer him a smile. It fails, he knows it fails, and he stops trying. "I'm going to apologize to Velveteen." The two of them are married, so Axel is sure that Micah knows what Axel has to apologize for. Though he would elaborate. The second floor of the Eyrie appears to be, for the most part pretty clear this evening. He could divulge things, though it doesn't really matter. He's sure everyone knows what's going on in his personal life already.

<Micah> "Ya sure as **** are." The words were spit out as if they were poisonous. Micah didn't bother to hide the disdain he felt, or the anger that churned throughout his body. You could be a dick all you wanted to him but with Vel? Yeah no that **** just wasn't gonna happen. "Don't know what the **** was going on in your head but you're fuckin lucky I don't lodge a bullet in your skull. Who the **** ya think ya are Axel, bein a pissy ***** ta Vel?"

<Axel Rosen> The threat to shoot him in the head doesn't really phase him because at this point he'd welcome it. The words turn back to what he thought they would be and it doesn't surprise him in the least. Telling him what he already intended to do doesn't really do much for him. He knows he's going to apologize. Who does he think he is? Someone that feels wronged and mad at himself. Then again telling Micah that he think's he's a no one would probably just piss the man off more. He thinks over the answer for a moment. "At the moment I'm someone that is sorry for all the wrong that I've done.. I just want it to be stated." He sighs a little. He doesn't know what else to say.

<Micah> "Mm. Yeah ya done a whole lot of **** wrong." Vel had left nothing out when she had talked to him so he knew every single dirty detail. It wasn't really his business and he wasn't going to stand there and lecture Axel about something that by now, he'd probably already gotten reamed for a few times. There was really only one thing he wanted to know. "Was it worth it? Ya done fucked up, and quite frankly you're lost a **** ton of respect. From me, and I probably ain't the only one. Somethin like that is hard ta keep under wraps, especially bein who the other party was. I just...Jesus Axel. Look at what ya sire went through because of her. And ya went and..." Micah shut up. He'd started going off on a tangent that he hadn't meant to go on.

<Axel Rosen> Again someone reminding him of the things his sire went through, asking him if it was worth it. He wonders how many times he has to break down in quiet before they understand that it was a mistake. He says nothing fo a good bit, waiting for the mail to get done before he looks down at his feet. The then makes eye contact and shakes his head. "No... It wasn't worth it." He doesn't go any further in detail, no, because his eyes say it all. The blue hues looking at Micah, but also kind of through him. Not because he can see through him, or because he's pretending he's not there, but because the male feel so small that he feels non-existent. The damage done to his sire is more than enough to cripple him, not physically but mentally. All he intended to do was apologize then go sleep.

<Micah> "Well at least ya know ya fucked up that's a step in the right direction." And it was. At least Axel could admit to his mistakes and was taking the steps to right his wrongs and all that ****. "Ain't gonna give ya any more **** bout it cause it ain't my business. I just hope that ya learned from this and ya won't be repeating it anytime soon." Or never again. "But ya wanna say yas sorry ta Vel. That's good. But Imma only warn ya once." He drew his gun and placed the barrel under Axel's chin. "Ya upset her? I'll be using this on ya. Ya brains will be splattered in technicolor on the walls of the Eyrie for the faction ta see. We clear?"

<Axel Rosen> Knowing that he fucked up would be an understatement at this point but he just sort of stands there. The conversation on Micah's end goes on much wordier than the one on Axel's side. He won't be repeating anything any time soon, just sitting in his hut until there's a hit to be done or an event to take part in. The gun comes under his chin and he doesn't blink but once and then look down at the weapon. "Absolutely clear." He frowns at the male. He would actually welcome the shot.

<Micah> "Excellent." The gun was withdrawn and tucked away and most of his anger towards Axel bled away. He was disappointed in the man yes but he seemed sincere and contrite. "I'm glad we had this conversation," came the calm response, all traces of his accent gone now that he wasn't quite so angry. It was still there, lingering just under the surface and would appear in an instant if Micah even thought for a second that Axel was upsetting Vel. "I'll be nearby." The threat was there, whether Axel chose to heed it was an entirely different matter.
