Mason knew that there was a pack nearby. He'd heard of the Cold Water pack. Loren came to visit every now and then, but Mason hadn't ever met anyone else from there. If he realized that Varick, Shannon, and Kingston were there he'd have gone right away. But he hadn't a clue, so he was fine staying at the mansion. He didn't mind being fed from. He'd been through a lot worse when he was younger.

Despite how much time had gone by, though, he could never forget about Bae. The other panther had protected him, taught him how to survive, and kept him safe. It was difficult not to wonder how or where he was. When Mason heard that Mikhal's human boyfriend was a sorcerer, he thought maybe the man could help. That was why he was sitting on the stairs, waiting for Greer to come up them after dinner.

Despite the fact that Greer still thought about the situation with John and Gabe, he'd let it go for now. He felt a little powerless against it anyway, but he kept his ear to the ground in case anymore came to light.

He noticed Mason at he top of the stairs and was immediately curious about him. He could see clearly that he wasn't a vampire, but he was certainly not human. The intensity that surrounded him was striking. "Hello," he smiled down at him when he reached the top of the stairs.

Mason was busy writing in a notebook. He kept a lot of journals. A part of him wished he hadn't gone to Seattle, away from his pack. He wasn't a wolf, but they were still his pack and now he didn't have a clue where any of the were. He felt so lost, disconnected, even worse than usual. He always felt a little lost, but now it was a million times more intense. He wasn't going to ask Greer to find any of his pack members because he assumed that they were dead. But Bae, maybe he was still alive.

He heard the footsteps on the stairs, but he didn't tip his head up to look at the sorcerer until he heard the man's voice.

"Hi," he said back quietly. He'd seen Greer just twice before, so he knew who he was. "You're Mikhal's... boyfriend?" he asked after a moment.

Greer certainly liked the sound of being called Mikhal's boyfriend. It made him smile even more. "I am," he said blithely. Noting the boy's somber demeanor, he sat down next to him. "I'm sorry, I don't know your name."

Even if he wasn't a priest anymore, it was what he'd been preparing for for the majority of his life and he didn't think he'd ever turn that part of himself off. He didn't want to.

Mason was a little surprised when Greer sat down next to him. Mason was pretty tiny, like a lot of Asians. He was barely five foot five and weighed only 120 pounds. Next to Greer, who was a slim man himself, he looked even more slim than usual.

"Mason," he answered as he tucked his pencil away into the metal spirals of the notebook that held it together. "Is it true that you're a sorcerer?"

"Oh, I see gossip spreads fast in this place," he teased lightly. He wondered what someone like Mason was doing here, though he hadn't quite figured out what he was yet. It was easy to see a shifter, but more difficult to see their animal form. "Yes, it's true. I'm not very well trained, self-taught, but I manage a bit of magic here and there." Greer's magical essence wasn't so strong, but his will helped him achieve a goodly amount of success.

Mason tugged his lower lip into his mouth and reached for the pendant he had around his neck. It was a Korean symbol, but he didn't know what it meant despite the fact that he was Korean. He'd never learned the language. It had been Bae's, and the older boy had given it to him before they were seperated.

"Can you find people?" he asked after a moment.

"I could certainly try." Greer was always willing to do at least that. While he'd never done a finding spell for a human, he used to help members of his church find missing items that they would come to pray about. He could tweak the spell, he was sure.

"Who is it that you're looking for? Is it someone like you?" Some details could never hurt, plus he was a little curious. "Sorry, I can see that you're a shifter of some sort. I always feel like I'm prying if I don't tell people what I know about them."

"Yes, someone like me," Mason answered, all ready getting his hopes up. "I'm a werepanther," he told the sorcerer, "So is my friend. We were seperated a while ago, a few years ago. But I'd like to find him if I can. I have this necklace of his, but it's all I have," he added as he tugged gently at the silver chain. "You'd really try to help?"

Seeing how Mason brightened a little, Greer was intent on not letting him down. He glanced down at the necklace. He was definitely the sort of sorcerer who liked to have something physical to focus on. It helped him channel his power.

"Yes, of course. Who wouldn't try to help where they could?" Greer couldn't even fathom the kind of life Mason had led when he was younger. He'd lose sleep over it if he knew. Holding out his hand, he asked kindly to see the necklace. He didn't know much about scrying or using maps for spells. The idea had never crossed his mind. This spell was simple. He would reach out to whatever it was and try to see its surroundings. That might not be the best method for finding a human, but it was what he knew.

It was sort of strange for Mason, to see someone so ... obviously good natured and just an honest person in the Mansion. Most of the people who came to the mansion could be... Unsavory. But Shiloh was sweet, and so was Lewis, even if he was a little promiscious. Greer seemed to be in a different category than they were somehow, though.

Handing over the necklace after he'd taken it off, Mason let out a little sigh. He was anxious, worried, and he didn't know why.

"Thank you," he said softly. "He's Asian like me, Korean I think - that symbol is Korean I'm sure I just don't know what it means. I never got to learn..."

Greer let the chain of the necklace drape between his long fingers. Haphazardly, it rested over his hands, the pendant dangling down off of his palm. It twisted this way and that even though Greer was being pretty still. He was just trying to connect with it. While Greer had never experienced powers of psychometry, he could ground himself in an object.

When his eyes drifted shut, he started to focus his energy on the pendant and on Mason's energy. He tried to tap into his desire to find Bae. There were thin threads connecting everyone--especially those important people--and the trick was pulling out the correct thread and following it.

"He's safe. He feels safe." He thought that was probably the most important thing he could tell Mason right now.

Hearing that was a huge relief to Mason. He'd always worried about Bae, wondered if he was all right or not. It as difficult for the panther not to get anxious as Greer spoke, and his hope was starting to rise up at full force.

"He is?" he asked softly, "Can you see where he is? Do you know where he is?" he asked, furrowing his brow. "Or who he's with?"

Feeling that emotions wash off of Mason was empowering. It fueled Greer's spell and he muttered a few words to keep him focused on the task. His fingers had slowly curled in on the chain and he was holding on to it so tightly that he could feel his fingernails digging into his palms.

"There are lots of places. He goes all over." Flashes of scenery from around the world flickered in his mind. "And he's with two people. Men, I think." He saw images of their shoes, and hands, hips and chests that looked masculine, but not their faces yet.

should we do a double scene, just tack on Niko's side of this or do that in a seperate scene?

Now Mason was getting absolutely squirmy. He held his breath and went silent as he watched Greer's face, and he was hanging on every single word the sorcerer was saying.

"But he's safe, so they're not bad people?" he said softly, his voice questioning and full of worry.

I think tacking it on would work! Shift between the two in our responses?

He was trying so hard to get specifics that he just kept pushing, invading Bae's space as hard as he could to get inside of his head and see the images that would locate him. Street signs, climate, landmarks, anything.

"He feels safe with them. That means at least he thinks they're good people." He didn't know if that was much comfort, but he couldn't guarantee that Bae's perceptions of these individuals were correct. He kept prying, digging harder.

It had been a busy and hectic night for Niko. The panther they'd located had actually been a panther seeking others like him to broker out to those who had pimped Bae out and sold him in the first place. It had been a mess, and Bae was disappointed. When they got back to their hotel room, Niko sat the panther down to tend to a wound he'd gotten across the neck. It would heal on it's own in no time, but he wanted to clean it out just in case.

"I'm sorry," he said with a frown, "We'll keep looking," he added before he noticed a strange tinge around Bae's aura. He paused and stepped back. "Miles, do you see that?"

To expect to see his best friend and then be put in a situation where very bad memories came flooding back had taken Bae for a loop. He'd been a little resistant to Nikolai taking the time to patch him up, but ultimately he'd let it happen.

Miles was watching, feeling disappointed as well. It had been his suggestion that had led them to that evil person. Even though Nikolai had swiftly taken care of the situation, Miles still felt terrible that he'd put them in danger. When Niko asked him if he saw something, Miles stared at Bae and shook his head. He didn't see anything noteworthy about the man. Though now that he was focusing on him, he felt uneasy somehow. "I feel something though."

talking with mick or micah? or do you just wanna end the scene?]

"He doesn't trust easily so they must be," Mason said quietly, having no idea that his pushing to have Greer push wasn't a good idea.

Mikhal came out of his room and headed down the hall, arching a curious brow at what he saw. He paused and tipped his head to the side.

"What're you doing?" he asked Greer softly.

(Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
We did some of the Liam and Chancellor part and I think we can skip forward to after they arrive.
[info]impotentwaffle
2010-08-19 06:29 am UTC (link)
Wyatt can accept visitors, but only one at a time and he asks for Micah first, so maybe we can skip forward to that and then end it?]

Greer made a little noise in the back of his throat and then opened just one eye to look up at Mikhal. The sight of the man was distracting because he enjoyed it so much and he quickly shut that eye. "Finding someone. A werepanther. He's with some people. I can hear voices. An accent."

Back with Nikolai and Miles, Bae looked back and forth between the two of them. "Is something wrong?" He thought their reactions were very odd. He didn't feel any different and he looked down at himself, wincing a little because his neck hurt.

Nikolai stared intently at Bae, and the more he stared, the more that his frown intensified

"Someone's tethered themselves to you," he said quietly after a moment, "I think they're trying to find you."

It couldn't be the sorcerer and werepanther they'd just left, Nikolai had a very strong blocking spell and protection spell against them. So strong, in fact, that he couldn't protect them against others. It worried him and he wasted no time reacting.

"Stay still, don't move," he said quietly, and before Bae could ask a question he lifted a hand up and muttered a stunning spell to zap whoever it was on their end of things. It was a bit more strong and intense than Niko intended, but he was on edge.

Tethered? That didn't sound like a good thing. Bae was actually alarmed and his long fingers curled around the arms of his chair, bracing himself for what was to come. He trusted Nikolai.

The jolt of energy pulsed through him, though it didn't hurt him. It coursed across the string of magic connecting Greer to Bae and injected itself into the other sorcerer's body. Greer felt a cry try to escape his throat, but it was hindered by the bolt of electricity. A good few seconds after the yell had started in his body, it finally escaped. Immediately after, he slumped forward, nearly toppling down the stairs.

The second Mikhal saw - no - felt Greer stiffen up he was worried. He was all ready moving forward and by the time Greer cried out and toppled forward, he was within arms length to catch him by the back of one of his arms haphazardly.

"Greer," he said as he tugged the sorcerer back to pull him in his arms as he came down into a crouch. "Greer... wake up... are you all right?"

Mason was stunned, and he was trying to help Mikhal catch Greer. Even though he was closer to Greer, Mikhal was faster.

"What happened?" he asked in worry as he snatched the dropped pendant.

"I don't know," Mikhal said with a frown before he hefted Greer up to carry him to his room so that he could set him down on the bed. He was going to have Shiloh call Morris over. Mason followed, and Mikhal let him, though he didn't say anything to the kid.

In the middle of the spell, Niko caught a glimpse of Greer's surroundings. He saw Mason, and the sight of the boy confused him. Maybe it had been Mason? Maybe he'd asked someone to help find Bae just as Bae had for him? With a frown, Niko lowered his hand.

"It's gone," he said. "I think we should go find out who that was and why they were doing it. Chances are they won't stop."

"But what if they're dangerous? You zapped them--that should teach them not to continue. They'd be stupid if they tried it again." Because Nikolai had displayed his power, and Miles hoped that had been enough to chase them off. He was considerably less trusting of the situation now that he'd experienced the bad end of it.

As soon as Nikolai said that it was gone, Bae felt like he could breathe again. He looked down at himself, at his hands, attempting to check Nikolai's assurance that whatever it was was over. But he couldn't see anything different about himself and he kind of hated that. He used to be the one with the keen senses, the extra powers. But with the two sorcerers, Bae always felt like he was the one in the dark. "Did you see where they were?"

The ordeal with of the evening had the opposite effect on Nikolai. He was rattled, but now he wanted to make for certain that Bae was safe. Knowing who'd been looking for him now, it worried him. What if similar people were looking for him again? For a similar reason?

"No, I want to know who for certain it was," he said quietly. "I don't know where they are exactly - but I've still got a link to them. They're harmless right now, pacified. I want to go see who they are and I want to know why they were tethered to him."

Bae stood up and wrapped his long arms around himself. He felt like pacing, which was rare for him. Usually, he didn't allow himself to feel anxiety about something, but the thought of somehow going back into the hands of his captors was too much for his normally relaxed reactions. "Are we just going to hunt down everyone looking for me now? Maybe I should be doing more hiding."

Ultimately, however, he knew they had to go. If he could wipe out everyone who meant to cause him harm, then maybe he could help protect Mason by proxy.

"Not everyone, just whoever that was," Niko said quietly as he ran a hand through his hair. He was exhausted, cranky even. "Whoever that was, they were a sorcerer. Why would they be looking for you? What do they want with you? I want to find out, it's my job to keep you safe," he mumbled before he went over to the sink in the bathroom to wash his hands, though he kept the door open. "It could even be an enemy of mine. We just don't know, and I'd rather know."

Watching Nikolai go into the bathroom, he sighed. "Can I sleep as pyobeom tonight?" It made him feel safer to sleep in his panther form. He glanced back and forth between Miles and what he could see of Niko and hoped that they wouldn't mind. He was perfectly controlled, just like he was in everything else, but when he would be trapped in a room with one or both of them, he always liked to ask for politeness' sake.

"Yes, that's fine," Niko said quietly as he slipped out of his shirt.

He was in a mood, and it was obvious as he readied himself for bed. He was absolutely silent, lost in his own thoughts, wanting to figure everything out beforehand. Sometimes, that was just impossible, though.

Miles could hardly be bothered with Bae's request to shift. He was busy staring at Nikolai, trying to figure out what was going on in his head. He knew better than to ask and pester though, so he stayed silent and practiced reading auras.

Bae's shift was quiet, sleek, easy. As soon as he was finished, the large black cat hopped up on the bed where Miles was and laid his head on the other boy's thigh, trying to get as close as possible.

Niko cut the lights after making sure that the room was locked up safe, and that they had a protection spell around it that would last until the morning, then he crawled up onto the bed with the other two. It was a big bed, which Niko was thankful for since Bae had wanted to shift. He was still quiet as he got settled and he draped an arm around Miles' waist before he reached down to let his fingertips brush against the top of Bae's head.
