It was a good thing that Ios had told Slav, if he had heard later on that Nik had nearly killed Gor with a pool cue or something, his freak out would have been just as bad. He was quite easy-going normally, everything just sort of washed over him without sticking.
He did not like when his brothers were at odds, which (admittedly) was not all that rare. Sulking and brooding they could all do to their heart's content, but it just was beyond the normal levels of screwed up when anyone was using a goddamn pool cue on anyone else.
"What happened?" Slav tried to make it come out as a command, but coming from him it was sort of part question and part suggestion that he answer. "Don't bother telling me that you're perfectly okay." He swore, sometimes, 'okay' never simply meant okay. It would be nice if it did. But it did not.
