She wouldn't normally care, but with the castle shifting to resemble anything remotely like her world, Meg was on edge. When she found April - or what was left of her - decorating the castle halls, that concern switched to full blown alert mode. The demon spent the night and half the morning poking around the castle, looking for whatever had done it on her own to no avail. By noon, she had circled back around to the lobby and stood there glaring at the pile of weapons, wondering what the hell the catch was.

Finally, she cracked open her journal. By now, more people surely would have seen the carnage.

"All right," she sighed heavily. "Anyone wants to go out and find what did it, meet me in the lobby."

[ The elder Doctor looked over at Dairine and nodded in return. He didn't like the idea that she was out here with them. In his mind, children should be allowed to be children. Play, laugh, go to school, whatever. They shouldn't be exposed to ... well all of this! At least not for a couple more years!

Still, he knows that she's a skilled wizard and that where she comes from she's dealt with this type of thing before. Maybe not quite the same but close enough. He just vows to keep an extra eye on her.

And her bow. He nods towards it. ]

You know how to use that?

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine would oppose to the extra attention if she knew about it. She is perfectly capable of handling herself in danger. While still going to school, playing, and laughing.

Her grip on the bow shifts a little when he comments on it.]

Yeah. I've been training.

[im_the_doctor]

[ The Doctor eyes the bow. He's tempted to say that they may not need it but now is not the time for that age old debate. With what happened to April, he'll try his best to resolve a peaceful solution but he's not naive enough not to realize that one may not be forthcoming. ]

And how's that coming along?

[wizard_redfive]

Fine. I know how to hit a moving target. [Her aim is pretty good now too, after practicing over a year.]

[im_the_doctor]

I suppose the question is have you ever hit a living target?

[ He's not fully sure what she fights back in her home world, somehow though he doesn't have the opinion that it's flesh and blood. He's not fully sure that even makes a difference. ]

[wizard_redfive]

I have. [Dairine admits.] In Terre Haute.

[She's not terribly proud of having done so, but that was also a case where there wasn't much choice in the matter. The Collectors would have grabbed her if given the chance. She gave them the standard warning, that she was on wizard's business and any action against her would negatively impact them, but they ignored it. Had they listened or bothered talking at all she would have reasoned with them.]

[im_the_doctor]

[ The Doctor looks at her for a moment. Saddened to hear that she has but understands she knows what she's getting into. After a moment he nods and looks away. ]

Hopefully it won't come to that today.

[wizard_redfive]

We can hope not.

[She isn't making any promised though. That would be testing her luck, and wizards generally avoid making promises they might not be able to keep.]
