A Brawl In The Family

Liun walked to the door, his right hand in his pocket. Fweiu asked him, the other day, to have a chat. Now Liun didn’t exactly like it when family members asked him to have a chat because it seemed to end with him getting punched at least once. It also doesn’t help he’s still a bit... embarrassed about the other day. He really didn’t expect Thiul to just say that.

He sighed a bit to himself and brought his left hand up, hesitated a moment, then knocked. Hopefully there will be no punching today.

Fweiu answered the door. Human form, relaxed clothes. A piece of paper was floating next to her, held up by floating pieces of ice; if Liun stared at it long enough, he might see it was a report about a confederation of Western European wizards. Fweiu was interested in speaking to them, eventually.

But this was a more pressing matter.

"It's good to see you, Liun." She'd hug him in that way that family did after weeks without speaking, even though it had only been a day.

"Let's go sit out back. The weather's been great here lately." She would guide him in through the house, and at one point send her floating piece of paper to the top of a small pile on a coffee table. "Want a drink?" The kitchen was on the way there too. It would be unacceptable if she, their leader, couldn't be a good host. Plus, she was going to need a drink for herself.

This conversation was going to hurt. She already knew it. But she was sure that it needed to happen.

Liun rolled his shoulders shortly before Fweiu answered. As soon as she did, he pulled a big grin as usual. He glanced at the paper long enough to see what it was but his eyes went back to looking at Fweiu. “Fweiu! Great to see you, been like 24 hours.” He flashes a grin with a laugh.

He gladly hugged Fweiu, giving her a pat on the back. “Nice to see you too, Fweiu.” He smiled. It was a nice genuine smile.

He followed after Fweiu, glancing around the house. He was a bit distracted so he blinked when Fweiu offered a drink. “Huh? Oh yeah sure.” He nodded with a smile. He just figured why not, it’d be nice to have a drink with his cousin. Even if he knew it would probably have something attached to the conversation. But he couldn’t fault Fweiu for being a good host!

As soon as they got out to the back, Liun would go sit on a chair assuredly with a drink. “So, what you wanna talk about?” He’d sip his drink, looking at Fweiu expectedly.

Fweiu had spent a good bit of time thinking about how to approach this topic. She decided to take the less direct route.

"So, you've met Hal. I heard you get along famously with him, even. But I don't know if you heard about his condition."

Whether or not he had, she would sip her beer and elaborate.

"He's a half-dragon. The first of his kind that we've had in our clan, for about as long as anyone can remember. And his non-dragon half - his basilisk half - is making him sick. It could even kill him someday."

Fweiu wanted to make sure Liun processed this before continuing.

Liun smiled when Fweiu mentioned Hal. “Course I know Hal.” He laughed a little. His laugh and smile dropped though. “I’ve... heard a little. Not much, though.” He had a more serious tone as he looked at Fweiu. He drank some more of his drink.

He frowned. He knew a bit, but not that it could kill him. He really hoped it wouldn’t because he genuinely cared about Hal. He didn’t deserve this. But... “That’s... awful. But I’m curious why you’re telling me this?” He looked at Fweiu with some worry.

"Because you weren't here for it. And it's something you ought to know about," Fweiu said, taking a long sip of her beer. "It's why much of the clan is... afraid, of mating with other species and making half-breeds. It could hurt the child, and, well, just imagine what that would do to our gene pool if it kept happening. Our species."

And here it came. The part that Fweiu knew might piss him off. Nobody wanted to be told how to conduct their sex life.

"But really, I'm telling you because of Arthesia. You should know before you get too close to her. Happy as you might be together... it would be a bad idea for you two to mate."

Liun nodded, a calm look on his face. Initially. He understood the concern, and he didn’t have a problem with this. He was about to open his mouth to say to Fweiu that he’d keep it in mind, but at the end of the day it would be something for the parents to ultimately decide.

But then Fweiu said the kicker. He just stared very intently at Fweiu. He barely even heard what she said next because all he could think was three words. How dare her. Liun knew he liked Arthesia, of course. Be he was going slow with it. He understood Fweiu’s concerns about the health problems that can occur. But the species?

He pretty much dropped his drink as he stood up, his eyes narrowed as he glared at Fweiu. The reason Liun was so angry was because he didn’t give a crap about a gene pool. He had a daughter, and this was Fweiu saying she was a bad idea. Without warning, he threw a punch aimed directly at Fweiu’s jaw. His eyes remained narrowed and he seemed to almost be growling. Frankly, it seemed that it was taking a lot for him to not just shift. “So my daughter was a mistake, huh?! Cause she was a hybrid?!” He shouted right at her, pulling his arm back for most certainly another punch. “Cause her mother was human?! THAT’S A PROBLEM?!” He’d throw the second punch, but it was clear he wasn’t focused. It was a wild punch with little aim, and Fweiu would likely be able to avoid it.

She expected shouting. She expected a challenge. She didn't expect Liun's fist. The punch sent Fweiu tumbling, along with broken glass, splashes of beer. Fweiu was a little cut up when she scrambled to her feet. Her jaw felt... crooked. It looked crooked, too.

She tried to say something like 'Your daughter!?' but it didn't come out right. Speaking hurt. It was difficult. Liun might be able to tell, at least, that she didn't know what he was talking about.

She partial-shifted as the next punch came in. It was a wild haymaker, uncharacteristic for Liun. It seemed he was too pissed off for good form. She avoided it easily, and lunged forward, trying to tackle him to the ground and pin him.

Liun growled when he realised his punch hadn’t landed. A part of him wanted to shift and go for Fweiu, but he had enough control and common sense to not do that. But he’d be more than lying if he said he didn’t want to kick Fweiu’s ass. Hence why he looked like he still wanted to murder her.

Liun looked at Fweiu with a look of pure anger. Frankly, Liun rarely looked angry. Even when he was beaten in sparring, even when he was punched and kicked after family discovered he was alive. There had been few times, and most of them was when he was a lot younger. He’s shouted and scolded, but he would usually remain decently composed. But not this time. Usually he would make snarky remarks, joke about Fweiu using her partial form. But there were no comments.

He attempted to tackle at Fweiu as she did, pushing against her with all he could. Seeing how he wasn’t shifted at all, it wasn’t bad. But because Fweiu was just stronger, he’d be tackled down by her. But not allowing himself to get pinned, he pushed both of his legs against Fweiu’s stomach in an attempt to get her off of him.

"You need to calm down!" Fweiu tried to shout at him. It still wasn't very coherent; her face was still crooked. A bloody tooth fell out of her mouth, landing directly on Liun's shirt.

He didn't calm down.

As Liun thrashed about under her, trying to push her away, she used her ice breath. Combined with her ice magic, her plan was to freeze his hands together in a pair of icy shackles. Get him under control, give him some time to cool off before she tried talking to him again.

Holding her mouth open hurt. She powered through it. Her ice breath came out like a roar.
