Tea with the mages, trash for the metis
Saturday, 1 March 2014 23:00I was watching the old cow bison out in the woods again, when the deformed metis came out for a drink of water. Just seeing her makes my skin want to crawl. I went over to tell her that if she’s going to use the lake, she needs to give chiminage to the Wendigo too (How can two tribes claim the same land? It’s weird). The metis came from far east, from a place with Uktena and Glass Walkers. An odd combination. She’s from the mating of one of our number, and a Glass Walker. So she has wyrmcomer blood as well as being a sin-born, reborn criminal. Joy. She said this was the norm where she came from, from the amount of rape that went on when the wyrmbringers arrived. This I can understand.
( Aside from not being metis, there's a lot in common with her parents and the ones that spawned this body... )
( Almost learned a gift (but won't); almost gained a pack member (but didn't) )
I don’t think I’ll hear from her about this for a while.
As soon as it started getting dark, I went over to the mage’s place. I didn’t send a spirit this time, because paying them off quickly gets expensive over time, and I’m trying to rebuild my spiritual energies, not spend them further. I gave a howl, but he seemed to know I was coming. Some sort of ward? Similar to Safe Sleep or Badgers Burrow? Or he was just watching out the window already? I don’t know. I asked him about the cat - I don’t trust that thing at all - but he seemed to think it was no threat to his privacy. I am doubtful. I know what information can be got out of animals.

He says we’re working towards respect. I do not feel this is the case; I am unsure of what to do with him. I think back to him staring at my butt, earlier, and he looks at my chest. I think I've seen him do that. The pointless lying? His hurting Fire-Dancer? Wanting to tap our places of power in exchange for marking them? And that his allegiances, and reasons for them, are inscrutable? I am very much reminded that he is not one of us.
I am sorely tempted to call upon the source for more information. I do not want my wolf stolen and spirit sucked. Death would be preferable. I need to think of a plan if any of my family are targeted by such mages, and this means learning more.
