To Dispel the Demon

[InsaneTruth]

"I am, though not because I think he is foolish enough to ever go after you... but because he is tricky, as most are," Justice said "and the boy... Beck has so little will power..."

 

[Ricia]

"If you are saying you think he will trick me, im offended. " Buba said.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"It's not you I worry about him tricking," Justice said "It's the boy,"

 

[Ricia]

"That is what i'm working on at the moment." Buba told Justice.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"And is it goin well?" Justice asked her. He was honestly worried for the boy and others safety.

 

[Ricia]

Buba laughed then frowned, "No." She said, "He is determined to work hard.... but his determination is worthless because he won't cross the wall he puts before himself."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Justice nodded. "Well if anyone an shatter a wall it is you my love," he told her

 

[Ricia]

"It will be a few weeks of basics... reading, writing and basics of magic..." Buba told Justice, "Brice is doing well, Conner is learning, but he is still young and has a few years before he needs to start learning bigger complicated spells."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"They are both goint to be bright mages... Alice is who I worry about, I hope she does not envy her brothers magic." he sighed he had no magic he was just magical both his sons had magic like his wife but his daughter who most resembles him is just like him/

 

[Ricia]

"If she does... let her. I envy your physical strength often... but if I am to try and be strong, I will neglect my magic. The world is full of strengths and weaknesses. Alice was given a special gift unlike her brothers. She can do many things they can not. She will learn to accept it and grow because of it." Buba told Justice. She pressed herself against him when they were in the main shop, "Eat... Then take a rest so that I can be put at easy. You can join us in the noon." Buba told Justice.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"If it will ease you then I do it gladly," he kissed her neck softly and took in the smell that was only her. She may not be what is called a prefered type but her smell set him ablaze all the same. He bit her taking the sweet warm blood he almost moaned lightly he was not an old vampire but he was weened from his sire and able to spend time in the sun due to Buba helping him out. He savored the bite as long as she would alow taking only enough to make him feel like he needed no more she might be lightly wobbly but not to the point of not being able to walk well.

 

[Ricia]

Buba let out a soft sigh of pleasure as well till Justice was done. Buba let him take as he pleased at the moment since he had been gone for a day and riding all day. Foot steps sounded before Shougen turned the corner, "Yo... welcome back." He greeted to Justice.


Buba was taking a moment to gather her mind, "Shougen I need you to carry some books to the other world." She told him.


"Alright." Shougen said before turning to go get the pile of books she pulled out yesterday.


Buba patted Justice's chest lightly, "No go get some rest. And a bath." She told him.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Yes Madame," Justice said softly "I will return in the noon after resting,"


He greeted Shougen with a smile and a nod. He was happy to be home being gone for even a day or two seemed to be a bit long to someone who was used to the enviroment.

 

[Ricia]

When she got back, Buba handed the books to everyone before making Beck start is lessons of yesterday, which was reading and writing. Alice was learning another language and Buba had Brice working on runes again. Of course the kids were able to opt out with something else educational, but they were not aloud to do anything not. Alice complained because she rather go train. Which Buba promptly told she can do in the evening when Justice finished taking a nap.


Buba mostly concentrated on teaching Beck.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Beck was learning but slowly he tried really hard and it showed but he was overthinging some of the writting and it made him mess up.


Brice was happy to do his work it was interesting to him.

 

[Ricia]

After a full day of learning, they broke for lunch. Vincent was still in hiding.


"Now Beck... I'm going to next start teaching you to be more assertive." Buba told him after serving sandwich for everyone to eat.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Yes... madame," he said "I'll try," he promised her softly.

 

[Ricia]

Buba thought hard, how was she going to go about this. "Brice, Conner, Alice... how do you think we should go about making Beck be more assertive?" Buba asked her children.


"Make him learn how to fight! Every time he answers wrong, you hit'em with a stick!" Alice said with a laugh. "He'll either learn how to speak right or learn how to block!"


Buba sighed, "I'm not sure if that is really effective."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Well, maybe we can start out small," Brice said rolling his eyes at his brutish sister. "Offer rewards when he asks for things, privileges or treats." he sugested "it would be like the carrot and stick method you teach dogs with carrot being praise and the stick being a punishment if he faulters only the punishment will be light at first since he is just starting out."


Beck did not like Alice's idea in the slightest and didn't really understand Brice.

 

[Ricia]

"Ask him run errands.... send him to school to force people interaction on an equal ground with society." Conner said between munches of his sandwich.


Buba hummed lightly, thinking on her children's suggestions. She didn't think beating him was the answer, the kid was most likely already beat for wrong doings... it wouldn't help. Brice and Conner had the best of the two answers. "As much as I think your idea, Alice, would work for a normal person learning to fight... it does't help the certain situation."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Beck figited a bit he was not sure what was in store for him. He was a bit intimidated his future quite possibly lay in the hands of three kids all preteen. Brice tried not to laugh he thought Alice;s idea was pure barbaric but then again she was more a fighter like their dad.

 

[Ricia]

"Alright then..." Buba started to think again, "I could make a cursed item and stick it on him that makes him blurt out his thoughts and deep emotions." She sighed and shrugged, "Then Beck... what do you think?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I... I don't want to get hit with astick..."Beck said quietly. "or... a carrot,"


Brice laughed the kid completly missed the meaning of what he said.

 

[Ricia]

"Perhaps I should call a favor and stick him with someone who actually know's how to reintroduce slaves to society." Buba said with a light sigh. She really didn't want to deal with this herself.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"you know people like that?" Brice asked.


"There are... people that do that?" Beck asked
