I have no idea.
I just know Daphne's upset.
I did think the familiarity thing might be relevant, but that's all I really know about him.
That he tried to stab you when you first met and that he's close to Amelia.
I thought it might be something to do with Tumenalia, as well, but she seems most bothered that he won't just tell her.
I can reach out to Alois directly, but you're actually friends with the man.

[chrisisofaith]

I suspect he's not likely to tell you if he didn't tell her. He might not even tell me. A reasonable thing if it's private business. I will try, if it would help ease you.

Is she doing alright? This is the second time in a week I've heard she's on a warpath on behalf of someone else wronged and the first time it was purportedly in the face of the law she so claims to use to help others.
Is she intending to hurt Alois through the city's machinations the way Tim has with others in the past?

[compellingstatement]

The Finder outed her as a shifter.
I think it's got to her.
Understandably so.
That's a potential death sentence in her own world, if it's anything like others I'm aware of.

I have no idea what she's planning to do.
I rather assumed violence given she told me she wants to rip his cock off and feed it to him.
I told her to go hunt down some deer in the forest while I talk to you.

[chrisisofaith]

I’m sorry that happened to her, that is unfortunate, but trampling others in the process seems more foolish and self-damaging than she gave me the impression of indulging in.

I’m talking with him now, I’ll see if I can’t get at least a basic idea, but too many hot heads involved in this will make it worse than it needs to be.
Already is.

You know, I’m increasingly irritated and tired of this assumption that all of us ought to function on a ‘modern’ society’s rule.
Whatever his issue, it was between himself and this man and if we were home, it’d be considered done and settled with. But no, modern folk force their ideals on us while we’re already trying to adapt to the rest, so it’s SIN guards and realignment and assault and humiliation.
Some bend in the other direction from ‘advanced’ society would cool more heads.

[He takes a breath himself and sighs.]

Sorry. Nevermind it. I’ll let you know what he says.

[compellingstatement]

[Knowing now that Daphne might try for legal action is headache-inducing. He's hoping he can resolve this before they escalate to that.]

Right.
Listen, Chris.
Sorry if I'm... if I do that.
There are certain things I just sort of... expect.
Attacking a stranger in my time is assault and, well...
Yes.
You would typically get the police involved in that.
You can be arrested for verbal assault.
I do understand that it's different in your world.
And in this place, the authorities can't be trusted.
Well, you can't trust the police where I'm from, either, but they're less likely to put you in a situation where you're going to be sexually assaulted on a public network at a bare minimum.
I genuinely don't understand what's going on here or why this all escalated, but I appreciate you helping me try to deescalate.

Charles is more than just Daphne's contract partner.
I know I'd be unreasonable if I found out someone had hurt you for seemingly no reason.
I'm sorry to drag you into this.
I'll make it up to you.

[chrisisofaith]

Even verbal assault?
That's called a productive chamber meeting.

[What in every layer of hell got into modern society's water to make them so delicate? He has more tact than to say that, at least.
Especially with the rest unfairly softening him.]

You have some things to your mind that have given me pause, but no, you've never made me feel trodden over or not considered, which is enough.
I think I have your answer that hopefully settles this, but you know I'll always have your back regardless of the issue.

Frankly, as much as this shouldn't be our problem, I'd rather this than another public display pasted on the network with my face and friend involved.

Speaking of.
He attacked Vane because he shares a face with someone Aloïs knew.
Based on his reaction, someone with very bad blood between them.
He has no intention of it happening again when he knows Vane isn't that man.

[compellingstatement]

That was too broad a description.
It's not just shouting.
It's more... think being belligerent and racist or sexist.
Hatespeech?
That sort of thing.

Yes, that was rather my thought on the matter.
And thank you.
Alois apparently has very poor luck when it comes to duplicated appearances across the multiverse.
I'll let Daphne know and end this.
Hopefully.

[chrisisofaith]

Ah. Yes, that I know. Not much a guard issue back home.


Alright
Let me know how it goes.

[compellingstatement]

[There's a small delay.]

About as well as it could do.
She's going to back off.
Thank you.

[chrisisofaith]

I'm glad for it.
And that I could help
Thank you for roping me in, even if I got touchy.

[compellingstatement]

God forbid you tell me what's in your head.
It's fine, Chris.
Something to bear in mind for me.

[chrisisofaith]

[He types and retypes various ways to say 'sorry I'm just like that' or 'I'm working on being better so there are less outbursts' and six different joking ways to soften the earnest appreciation he holds for Jon's patience with him on various fronts, but none of them are right.

Sometimes, he's just bad with words.

So he spends the rest of the afternoon just sending Jon pictures of the office cats in endearing positions as Chris finds them, instead.]
