WHO: Padraig, George and Darerca
WHAT: Hahhahahaha oh god.
WHEN: Saturday
WHERE: Padraig's farm house
WARNINGS: Language and probably George and Darerca threatening to kill each other

When Padraig had contacted his sister to let her know what was going on with him and that he would be hiding at his farm house, he hadn't expected her to show up. He had been sitting at the table, idly sipping on some tea when Darerca came charging through the door, looking like she was ready to murder him. He was so startled, he jumped and the tea left in his cup went flying to relocate all over his shirt. "Fuck, Dee!"

"Jesus, look at you," she said, as if she could see the wounds all over him through his shirt.

"Wh-what are you doing here?" Perhaps it wasn't as polite as saying hello and offering her some tea, but really it was all he wanted to say at that point.

"Real nice there, Padraig. You've been scaring me for months, so I'm hardly going to not come when you tell me Lust was messing with you!" She grabbed the towel hanging on the oven door and tossed it to him.

"Right, well George is here." Apparently he expected that to send her back home to Valentia Island, but she stood her ground. "Like. He's in the next room." She still didn't budge. Instead, she rolled her eyes and yelled.

"Saint George! I'm here and you're going to have to deal with it!" To Padraig, she simply said, "there," as if that solved everything.

	George was rifling through a stack of books, trying to find a copy he'd left here at Padraig's farm, when he heard an ungodly shriek. His shoulders came up around his ears instinctively and he bared his teeth. Damn it. Darerca was here. "I thought I heard the shrieking of harpies," George said, poking his head around the corner cautiously. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Darerca glared at him the moment he was in view. "Do you have to be so juvenile? Or do you really just want me to shoot you again?" "No one is shooting anyone!" Padraig piped up and then he pointed at George as well. "No one. Nor is anyone running anyone through with a sword." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	adragonbright 2013-12-07 02:57 am UTC (link)
	George sighed, deeply put-upon, and let his sword rest against the wall out of sight. SO much for that idea. "So, you've invited yourself for a visit?" George asked, leaning against the door frame. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"My brother sounded distressed so yes, I decided to come and be there for him," she shot back. "I didn't realise he had brought along his emotionally stunted pseudo-brother as well." Padraig just put his head in his hands and sighed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	George is all "No stabby? :(" adragonbright 2013-12-07 03:16 am UTC (link)
	"Well, he's recovering from the actions of an annoying woman with no regard for other people, so in that respect, maybe you'd be the perfect bodyguard," George said, smiling brightly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU, GEORGE! dies prayingwithfire 2013-12-07 03:20 am UTC (link)
	At that, Padraig snorted into his hands and Darerca glared. She opened her mouth to scream back at George about how he was a dick and all manner of other terrible things, but something stopped her. "You know what, Saint George? I killed you in your own house once, so I'll give you that one. Just remember though I could do it again." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You surprised me that time," George said. "You won't have that advantage again." He took a seat next to Padraig. "So you're staying?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He's like "yeah, because this is my idea of Heaven" prayingwithfire 2013-12-07 03:31 am UTC (link)
	Darerca just rolled her eyes again. "We'll see," she said as he sat down. "And yes, I'm staying. From what he's told me about Lust before, it seems to me like it's your fault she ever noticed him anyway." "That's not fair, Dee," Padraig said softly, though sometimes he felt the same way.

	adragonbright 2013-12-07 03:36 am UTC (link)
	George's smile, already not very sincere, turned into something more like baring his teeth. "Maybe so," George said. "In which case, I'm making up for that mistake." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Isn't it just like the English to take action far too late," she said, her voice now syrupy-sweet. "What did you do, George? Shag her so badly she moved on to Padraig?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	adragonbright 2013-12-07 03:45 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe I shagged her so well that she wanted to see if it was genetic," George said, digging his fingernails into the underside of the table. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	prayingwithfire 2013-12-07 03:47 am UTC (link)
	Darerca probably reacted in the worst possible way when he said that. She started laughing. She laughed so hard, in fact, that she doubled over. "Oh, this is going so well," Padraig said to George. "How delightful." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	adragonbright 2013-12-07 03:54 am UTC (link)
	"I'm really glad this family reunion is happening, Padraig," George said, completely deadpan. "I think we should thank Lust for it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	prayingwithfire 2013-12-07 03:58 am UTC (link)
	"I'll be sure to send her some dog feces in the mail. Preferably burning," he deadpanned right back. "You are both idiots," Darerca said, still laughing. "Do we have to worry about this woman coming after you?" Padraig shrugged. "I don't know. George thinks she might come after him." "I'm okay with that," was her reply.

	"I realize that, but since I'm staying with Padraig..." George spread his hands. He let the I was invited hang unsaid, just to be smug. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She stopped laughing to glower at him before saying, "well at least she doesn't know about this place. For Padraig's benefit," she added because she was nothing if not petty. "But how long can you stay here?"

"Well I've been avoiding work for about a month now, so who knows really," Padraig grumbled. "And someone has to fatten me back up again, so George is staying. Besides, I like him alive."

"I think that makes one of us," Darerca shot over to George. "I can't imagine anyone without a death wish voluntarily fucking a sin."

	"Darerca, as much as I love the idea of discussing my love life with you--wait, actually, that idea fills me with crawling horror." George offered another insincere smile. "Anyway, once Padraig is feeling better, I'll be back in London. Which you are not invited to visit, just so we're clear." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"As if I would step foot in that cesspool," she hissed back at him.

"And now that that is cleared up, can you both stop it and focus on me?!" Padraig said rather loudly, and then he laughed a little. "Or something that sounds less self-centered."

"Sure. Have you fucked up your back like you always do?" she asked and when he nodded, she let out a sigh. "Let me see." And then she didn't actually wait before rising from her chair and pulling his shirt up. It was bandaged so she couldn't see the wounds, but she could see how thin he was. "Jesus, Padraig. Have you eaten anything in weeks?"

"Now I have two mother hens," he said dryly.

It was fortunate that Padraig interjected, because George had been fully prepared to launch into a rant about what a backwards shithole Darerca's island was. Instead, he just huffed out a breath and watched her worry over Padraig. It was a little harder to hate her when she was doing that.

"Aren't you lucky," he told Padraig, patting him on the arm. "I'll go make more tea."

	naomh_padraig 2013-12-07 05:27 pm UTC (link)
	Padraig watched George head over to the kettle and then Darerca spoke up. "I'd love some tea too, if you could avoid putting arsenic in it." "Please don't poison my sister," Padraig added, because he thought it might be a good idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	adragonbright 2013-12-07 05:52 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't even know where you keep the rat poison," George said mournfully. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	naomh_padraig 2013-12-07 05:55 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't have any, just before you go searching," Padraig said wryly. Darerca checked Padraig's bandages and then she let his shirt down and moved over to stand next to George. "You did a passable job with the bandages. When was the last time you made him eat?" Padraig just sighed as his sister spoke about him like he wasn't in the room. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Good," she said with a firm nod. "You didn't completely cock it up then." It was Darerca's way of kind of, sort of giving a compliment. "You could probably go now you know."

"I don't want him to go, Dee. But nice try," Padraig spoke up. "Besides, he knows what happened."

"You could tell me," Darerca offered.

Padraig made a face at that. "I would really rather not, to be honest."

	George muttered, "You really don't want to know," under his breath and put the kettle on the oven. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	prayingwithfire 2013-12-07 06:32 pm UTC (link)
	The boys were being so evasive and she looked back and forth between them for a moment before asking, "dear God, did she whammy the both of you and make you fuck each other. Again. You two really need to spend less time together." "Dee, what in the hell? That's not what happened at all. For which I am very, very glad." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	adragonbright 2013-12-07 06:37 pm UTC (link)
	George blushed so hard that he was surprised his hair didn't catch fire from the heat. "That is not what happened!" he hissed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	prayingwithfire 2013-12-07 06:40 pm UTC (link)
	Darerca raised her eyebrows at how very red George's cheeks grew at the idea of sleeping with Padraig. She cocked her head to the side, amused. "Do you both just pretend that never happened?" she asked, flabbergasted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	adragonbright 2013-12-07 06:48 pm UTC (link)
	"Generally, yes," George said through gritted teeth. Life tended to go a little better when no one talked about their foray into psuedo-incest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Just a little bit repressed, but okay," she said, holding her hands up.

"Yes, thank you for your opinion," Padraig muttered. "And she didn't make me sleep with anyone." Just a hand shandy, but he didn't feel like admitting that to her. "She just messed some stuff up in my mind. I sort of...imploded. George took away all my whiskey too."

Darerca gave George an appraising look then. "Smart."

	"If he wants to get it back, there's a scavenger hunt involved," George deadpanned, glad to be steered away to another topic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"That is like the saddest scavenger hunt ever. So you're both out here just...moping?" she asked, her eyebrows high.

"It's better than throwing myself off that cliff outside, which I can tell you I'm still not far from. I told you about Euterpe, and I'm still crushed over that situation. And now there's crap with Lust on top of it. It's enough to make me wish I didn't have a soul."

	George reached over and slapped Padraig gently on the side of the head. "You've reached your moping threshold, stop that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	prayingwithfire 2013-12-07 07:29 pm UTC (link)
	Padraig groaned when George slapped him, though he couldn't really blame his brother. "It would just hurt less," he mumbled. Darerca sighed and added, "yeah, for you maybe." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	adragonbright 2013-12-08 05:16 am UTC (link)
	"If you sell your soul, I'm never giving your whiskey back," George said, sitting a mug of tea in front of Padraig with slightly more force than necessary. "Ever." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	naomh_padraig 2013-12-08 10:35 am UTC (link)
	"I'm not going to sell my soul, George!" he assured his brother. "I'm just tired of feeling like shit. And I'm consumed with guilt and it's so useless. I used to be so good at switching it all off." That had been before Euterpe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	adragonbright 2013-12-09 12:51 pm UTC (link)
	"And now you can't," George said, sitting down across from Padraig again. He hadn't gotten Darerca a cup of tea. She could damn well get it herself. People who shot him in his own house didn't get tea. "And you've got to find a better way of coping than all this." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	prayingwithfire 2013-12-09 01:01 pm UTC (link)
	Darerca sighed and rose to make herself her own cup of tea. When she sat back down again, she was watching Padraig carefully. "I am aware of that, George. It's not easy though." "He could learn to turn it all off like you do," Darerca said to George with a slight snarl. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	adragonbright 2013-12-09 01:15 pm UTC (link)
	George kept his expression carefully blank as he turned to Darerca. "Not everyone can follow the Teachings of Surak, it's true. Some people are just too illogical." Having gotten his pop culture reference in, George turned back to Padraig. "I know, Padraig, but just...promise you won't hurt yourself, yes? Or sell your soul, or anything else self-destructive?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Darerca just gave George a funny look, but Padraig snorted. Then he sighed and turned to his brother. "I couldn't have promised that a few days ago, but I can now. I'm starting to realise what happened because of Lust wasn't my fault thanks to both of you being here for me still. I just have to learn how to co-exist with Euterpe now that things have changed. I'll be alright."

	George reached across the table and gave Padraig's hand a squeeze. "And I'll be there for you through that too, you know. You aren't alone." He forced the next words out. "And Darerca is apparently going to be there for you too." Ugh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	naomh_padraig 2013-12-09 01:36 pm UTC (link)
	Darerca looked over at him and then she rolled her eyes. "What Grumpy said." "Bully for me," Padraig replied back, but he gave George's hand a squeeze back. (Reply to this) (Parent)
