I need a little room to breath [Thoth]

"Well," Lochlann said. "You can't just keep me here against my will, so please unlock the door, because I'm going to go now."

Lochlann pulled at the handle with his shaking hands. When it wasn't unlocked, he took a deep breath, swung his leg back and kicked the handle. He did it once, twice, and a third time. He was a lot stronger than he looked, and Lochlann wasn't trying to break the door down---just get the handle off.

He was twitchy, jumpy, and about ready to bolt the second he got it open.

"You. Cannot. Keep. Me. Here," he said, punctuating it with a kick. His voice was starting to get the high and wild winny sound of a frightened horse.

He said simply. "You've been committed, and you have no right to leave. You'll be here until you're no longer considered to be a threat to yourself or others. Considering your self destructive tendencies, that could be a good long while. Effectively, it's no difference than if your guardian had passed you over, or if you were underage." Simple enough. "You're a murder suspect, you've been involved with drugs, the suicide attempt... even assuming you're completely innocent, you've still got more shit going on than three quarters of the student population combined."

Of course, then he had to go and start attacking the door, and Hudson let out a sigh, rolling his eyes.

"You've got three seconds to stop kicking the goddamn door, or I'll stop you myself. And just to be clear, you'll lose." Perhaps it was cocky to say that, but it was also entirely right: Even if Lochlann had a chance against him normally, Lochlann had a power limiter.

Every sentence spurred Lochlann on further. He was panicking now, kicking at the handle, and it seemed like he was starting to make progress. Lochlann reacted as though he was hit with a bullet for every accusation and at one point, he made a feeble attempt at a rebuttal.

"It was never me," he said.

It was her.

Guinevere Haze.

He knew now the real reason he was here and that bolted Lochlann into further action. He coughed and attacked the door with a frenzy now, wiggling at the handle and loosening it. He'd broken a screw, he thought, and if he kept at it he could finally get out of here.

Lochlann was oblivious to Hudson's warning.

He just kept muttering have to leave have to leave and attacking the handle

He didn't believe a word of it that it was someone else, and with a clearly exaggerated sigh, he stepped forward, grabbing Lochlann's ankle.

Hudson looked like an old man, but he was both extremely fast and extremely strong. He was old because he was old, but dragons didn't exactly suffer from all the problems that humans did. He wasn't going to be old and creaky until right before he died. His grip was like iron, and he tugged hard, an action that would no doubt send Lochlann toppling.

"When I said you weren't going to win, I meant it." He snapped, his tone dangerous despite the smile on his lips.

He was fully panicking now. His nostrils were flaring, his eyes dilated, and his shaking hands were slick with sweat. Any thought besides get out was completely gone. Lochlann attacked the door when--

something grabbed his ankle.

As he was hefted into the air, Lochlann used the last of his momentum to kick out, hard. He felt the kick connect, but Lochlann was still held fast. He squirmed, wiggled, and writhed to try and escape his capture, but he was growing weak.

He'd already fought twice tonight and he was tired. The bracelet sapping his supernatural powers also seemed to sedate him and Lochlann hated this. He tried to curl up, try to turn and lash out with his teeth again to escape.

He didn't even make human sounds, just gave a low, animistic growl.

The message was clear regardless:

fuck off.

But Hudson was a durable fellow, and it didn't do anything more than irritate him. He kept right on smiling as he lifted Lochlann, literally dangling him by the ankle. Better not to drop him in that position, which would end up with him landing right on his head, but he wasn't above lightly tossing him, letting him crash into the table in a way that wasn't going to snap his neck, even if it was probably going to hurt.

"If you want to go all animal on me, you'll lose that too." There was something frightening about the way Hudson spoke - the way his mouth seemed a bit too bright for the rest of his face, as if something inside of him was glowing. "You will lose every single time, and until you realize you aren't getting away, you'll just end up hurt over and over again."

Lochlann thought he was doing well until he flew across the room and crashed into the table. He tried to duck himself into a roll, but he didn't have the time or the energy and instead crashed onto it. He skidded to a halt but didn't fall off.

He was winded and spots danced on the edge of his vision.

Say what he would about Hudson--that dude had aim.

"Fuck," was the only thing Lochlann did manage to say as he laid on top of the table gasping for breath. He was dizzy and his thoughts were all messed up.

"I can't stay here," he said, and then he dove off the table and towards the door again, but his movements were clumsy and unstable. He wasn't going to make it much longer but Lochlann would not go down easily.

He thought he'd stay on the table, winded and beaten. But there was no such luck for him, and Lochlann just had to keep going. He didn't bother responding - he just sparta kicked lochlann hard in the ribs as he went by.

It was a mercy that he was pulling his punches (or in this case kick), but it was still going to hurt like a bitch, and Lochlann might very well have broken a rib. But if nothing else, Hudson was fairly confident it would put him down, since Lochlann was already on the limits of his endurance.

"Then you shouldn't have made them come get you after all, if you needed to be elsewhere." He snapped, still smiling his angry little smile.

Lochlann received the kick to his ribs and felt a burst of pain shoot out of them and travel up his ribs and into his throat. The pain stole his breath away and Lochlann collapsed, tried to rise, and then collapsed again.

He was shaking, nervous, and sweaty.

It had also been far too long since Lochlann had a drink, and he was afraid of what might happen next. he closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and now be begged.

There was shame in it, but it was outweighed by his desperation.

"You don't understand," he pleaded. "I can't stay here. You don't know anything about me. You don't understand what this means. Please, please, just...just let me out."

He was on the floor and Lochlann was trying to regain whatever scraps of energy he had, but they were so few and far between.

It was just pathetic, watching him lie on the ground, begging for his freedom. "It's over my head - you didn't come here because I wanted you here. You're here because you fucked up so many times the people in the school can't even keep count." Which was blunt and a bit mean, but it was also true. "Think of it like this: This is a chance for you to get it all together and try and straighten out your life."

Whatever he needed to do elsewhere, it would just need to wait.

He waited to be sure Lochlann was down for the count before he stooped down, picking him up with at least some consideration for how injured he was. He'd have to take him to the infirmary and make sure he hadn't broken anything too serious. After that... well, maybe his lesson stuck.
