Volcano Pack:                 

Peter did just that and pleasured her for a long time. *timeskip* Peter laid back after they finsihed. He panted to catch his breath as he held her gently. He smiled softly and nuzzled close to her. He heard his phone go off and checked it. He saw it was from Liz saying she and Excise will be coming to pick up Excises' car and she needed the address. Peter Texted her the address and sighed" alright Liz and her partner is on their way. to pick up his car"

Excise pulled the squad car into the driveway, parking it and flipping the engine off as the last dregs of sunlight died down and away, telling the Hybrid male that the time was growing late, and they'd need to be heading off soon. It was well past time for each of them to climb into bed - and he imagined he'd be sore as hell tomorrow, provided his Wolven blood didn't take out most of the injury while he slept. He could never tell how quickly his wounds would disappear, but even if they were gone or nearly so when he rose in the morning due to his Vampire bloodlines, he would have to continue on as if they weren't; he couldn't have Liz suspecting he was anything other than human...which might prove difficult, since they would be staying together until she found a better place of her own. Oh well. One obstacle at a time. He would jump off that bridge when he came to it. Stretching as he climbed from the car, Excise leaned against the door after closing it, waiting for Liz to follow suit, prefering not to leave her out here alone in the driveway while it was dark. She was fully capable of protecting herself, he knew, but still, it just wasn't polite etiquette. Come to think of it, he should be opening and closing doors for her, but the blonde giant didn't want her to get the wrong idea by it, and so in retrospect, was glad they'd only stuck to the job and how it worked here in Forbidden, how they had been more focused on just where they were going to get the strength to play nice for more than an hour or two at a time, and, then, of course, there was the entire fiasco that was their entirely too rough first day. But it had broken the ice between the two, and to an outside source, it was clear that the hectic events had forged a lasting bond, one that would long endure the test of time and withstand the strains of not only a normal friendship, but a most unusual partnership when all was said and done.

Elza snuggled close to Peter. She had already gotten dressed and cleaned up but knew they would almost certainly smell like eachother for atleast a few days which would be a deadgiveaway of what they had done. She clung a bit closer to Peter after they stood obviously nervous. Would Peter's friend really go off that bad because of him turning? Elza just tried to not think about it as they made their way to the garage section of her building.

Peter stood waiting and leaning back against the counter. He glanced towards the door. his ears up and listening to their foot steps. He swallowed and his ears went back under his hair some. he could smell blood and knew it was theirs. Liz's bullet wound must have reopened since the last time he saw her. he frowned and seeing the time of day. knew she was gonna be in a little bit of a mood. Liz got out and walked towards the door. She stretched some and winced a little rubbing her ribs some. She sighed and walked with Excise to the door. She opened the door and glanced over to see Excises car looking in perfect like it just came off the lot. She blinked" wow "she said gently and turned to see them. She saw the girl hanging off Peter and chuckled. She was about to say something about how he's got a girl hanging on him like he did in highschool then she saw her wolven ears and paused. She wasn't surre how to act now. She cleared her throat and was respectful because it looked like Peter cared for the girl. She walked over" hey "She said gently. Peter brought his ears down further against his head hoping to keep this going smoothly. his tail was wrapped around Elza making it look like she had a really nice fluffy tail right now. 

Excise kept pace with her, though his head lifted as they opened the door, and the scents of the individuals wafted across to him - there was Peter's familiar musk, the blonde hybrid had caught it earlier when they were meeting for the first time, though at that time the brown haired male had been human. Now, however, it was clear to the golden haired detective that he was not; the air about him was entwined with that of a wolf's - it was subtle, to be sure, but there nonetheless. And it told Excise everything he needed to know. Peter had been turned. He also knew that Peter no doubt knew his own secret now, even if he had managedto guess at it before. Excise was no human: in fact, there was nothing remotely human about him, no trace of the normal Homo Sapien scent. All Peter could catch coming from Excise's figure was the reek of his own blood, in addition to the biting stench of vampire mingling with the sweeter tones of wolf, indicating his completely supernatural heritage, though the luminous green eyes never wavered, and the calm expression upon his face never faltered. He dipped his head to the young female with Peter, a girl Excise himself had never seen before, though he could tell by the way she was clutching at the dark haired Wolven that she cared deeply for him. It screamed from virtually every body movement, and each and every position they seemed to find themselves in, though Excise couldn't help but wonder how Liz was going to take this news, he already knew she wasn't too fond of Wolven. How was she going to react now that her oldest friend was one? What would she do to him if she discovered Excise himself wasn't what he claimed to be? Best not to court that area of disaster, at least, not just yet. Better to get the car, pay the girl for her services, and get Liz out of here before she could do anything rash. Or reckless. Or both. The young man did allow his gaze to go over his car, however, and an eyebrow raised, impressed despite himself. She was quite the mechanic, to have fixed it up this well in such a short amount of time. "Impressive." He commented quietly, returning his attention back to the trio as Liz approached, flanking her as a wolf guardian or protector might, though it was clear there was no immient threat on his part, he was just worried Liz might lose control of her temper. In which case he'd have to act quickly, and he'd need to be close to avoid arousing her suspicions.

Elza's ears were laid back as she worried but perked up slightly seeing Liz wasnt immediately being angry at her. Perhaps it was because she didnt notice, or mayby it was because she saw how Peter was holding her. Her ears perked up a bit more hearing Excise's comment about his car. Elza couldnt help but smile at that before she greeted Liz "Y-You must be Liz right? and your Excise? its nice to meet you both" She smiled trying not to sound too worried as she offered to shake Liz's hand first as she was the one closest to her at the moment. She wondered if Peter would try to hide the fact of him changing from Liz or if he would tell her and let her know. Elza couldnt help but seem slightly puzzled when she looked at Excise. From what Peter had told her she hated vampire and wolven. Yet she was working with one and seemed like she didnt know or didnt care. But Elza didnt do anything to give away what Excise was, she could tell he was trying to keep it a secret from Liz for now

Peter glanced at Excise and blinked finding out just what he was. He raised a brow for a moment wondering just how this was going to go. He wouldn't say anything at least not in front of Liz. Liz glanced at Elza as she held her hand out to her. She swallowed and tensed up a moment before taking her hand and shaking it" I am "She said though her tone showed she wasn't all that sure she trusted this girl or the situation right now" What did Peter Pan tell you about me? "She muttered some. Peter blushed and his ears popped out on accidently. He was hoping to slowly reveal that he turned not just blurt it out to her." Lizzy "he said gently slight pay back for calling him Peter Pan. Liz turned and saw the ears. Her eyes widen for a moment and her jaw went tight. Her look was that of surprise, confusion and some anger. Though you could see there was a deeper meaning behind the anger then just pure rage and anger... there was some fear at the core of it. She kept her mouth shut for the moment not knowing what to say for sure now because what she wanted to say was something that wasn't really pleasent and this was her long time friend standing before her. They could tell Liz wasn't all that happy about the news and wasn't sure what to say or think about it all. Her eyes turned a little distant as she remembered back to that day. 

"Nice to meet you," Excise murmured as he took Elza's hand firmly within his own, offering it a firm shake before releasing her. As her eyes caught the gleaming green of his own orbs, he subtly shook his head, indicating now was not the time or place with a slight glance at Liz. She didn't know, and for now, she couldn't know. It was too soon, and their relationship was still too new, still far too fragile. Stepping back only a step or two as she turned to Peter, he tucked his hands into his pockets, watching the entire scene as it went down, keeping an eye or ear out for anything out of the ordinary or anything that might have hinted at trouble, though his attention was drawn back to those around him as Liz's voice trailed away, and Peter stood looking sheepish in the face of his ears being fully and completely revealed for the first time to his age old friend. So much for slow and steady wins the race...or the idea of giving Liz time to get used to the idea that her best friend from childhood was suddenly a creature she hated. Excise's sharp orbs went immediately to his partner as he moved quietly to her side, his looming presence offering some sort of support as he laid a gentle hand on her shoulder, his quiet voice murmuring, "Liz." He was reading her body language, watching her intently, ready and prepared to intervene should he have to - though he'd really rather not, he didn't want this getting too far out of hand. Especially not after the day they'd had today. He didn't say anything more, just her name, it's meaning ringing loud and clear to her at least, serving to center and ground her back into the realm that was reality, and to confront the truth and knowledge of what she would otherwise deny. He didn't embarrass her by asking if she were alright in front of them - he knew she wasn't. He also knew better than to test the bounds of her already formidable self control. Either way, the next step, and therefore the knowledge of just how this was going to go down, was entirely up to her, and her alone.

Elza had lowered her ears seeing the scene between Peter And liz unfold infront of her. She positioned herself more inbetween Liz and peter unsure how Liz would have taken that her best friend became something she hated. Unknowingly however when she moved infront of peter it caused him to look at her exposeing the fresh bite mark on his neck. All liz had to do was put two and two together to see Elza had turned him not even a day ago.

Liz blinked feeling Excise's hand on her shoulder and his voice pulling her back from the painful memory. She glanced up to see how Elza moved between them protective of Peter and she blinked. She then saw the bite on his neck and figured that's how he was turned and he wondered just how did he get turned. She looked at Elza" How?...... "was all she asked. She thought about it more and the more she thought about it the more she was getted more heated. Peter noticed how she seemed and instantly wrapped his arms around Elza and pulled her back against him and back to his side quickly he held her against him and watched liz" Liz.... I promise you... I choose to be turned I swear.... "he said smoothly. Liz looked at him for a moment" who?..... why?" she said her voice rising. how could he turn? when he knew how she felt about them. Peter swallowed and tensed up" I found my mate... "he said gently and nuzzled against Elza and smiled gently. He kissed her cheek softly. Liz then realized she turned him and her eyes went dark.. She shook her head" you fool oh you ***** fool "She growled and suddenly lunged at Peter. Peter blinked and pushed Elza behind him as Liz lunged. They both went down to the ground and started to fight. Peter simply defending and attempting to get a hold of Liz to pin her down until she calmed down but with her like this she was hard to handle. 

Excise kept his hand on her shoulder throughout it all, hoping it would serve to calm her and remind her of her surroundings, rather than lose herself in that red haze that so accompanied fights, but, when she pulled away and lunged for her age old friend, Excise knew that plan was out the window. A small breath of air was all that escaped him as he watched momentarily, brow raising as he observed the beginnings of the fight, knowing that it was on like Donkey Kong, and that his partner was not likely going to be stopping anytime soon. Though Wolven were durable, he didn't want her to accidentally hurt Peter in her rage, as he was only defending, nor did the blonde male wish to let the sitaution spiral more out of control by having Elza enter into the fray in an attempt to make things better. He tossed a glance her way, meeting the brunette's eyes, then, calm as ever, almost as if the man himself had been crafted of the most meticulous of ice, he strode forward, catching Liz about the waist before she could go after Peter again, seeing as the brown haired male had managed to scamper away momentarily, Excise's other hand grabbing her wrist as she struggled and flailed, forcibly drawing her back and away from her friend, despite the thrashing obstacle she presented by refusing to calm, and in her simple denial of even entertaining the thought of slowing down. "Liz," he grunted as she head butted him in the chest, drawing his head and face back, where it would hopefully be out of her range, "Calm down." Normally, he'd have no trouble with something such as this - he'd been in several riots and dealt with many an unruly pedestrian, but Liz wasn't the normal civilian. She was a trained cop, and her body showed it. Despite the bruises and bumps, the fatique and exhaustion, her anger was fueling her, and, worst of all, she showed no signs of slowing or calming down. There was a crash as her free hand took out a few empty paint cans on a shelf, another flurry of sound as her flailing feet connected with various items housed within the garage, and Excise resisted the urge to growl, a single strand of hair falling down into his leanly chiseled face as he struggled to hold on. While he usually would have no issue here, Liz was quite strong, and, as Peter had earlier noted, difficult to handle. But the hybrid male knew that the wreck and combined events of the long day had both served to weaken and undermine him - even considering Liz's own special quirks and abilities, he shouldn't have this much of a problem with attempting to contain her.

Elza had however did join the fray getting herself between peter and Liz again as Excise fought to keep her undercontrol She knew Liz would be able to break free again and she readied herself for when that would happen pushing Peter behind her more "He isnt the one you should be angry at Liz. I bit HIM I turned HIM. Its ME your angry at" She called out trying to confused and focus Liz's rage on herself knowing she could handle it easier then Peter could if she got free again. and if everything did go bad peter was in reach of hershotgun. One sound of him racking the slide would get everyone to freeze up. even if they knew he had no intentions of shooting. But of course that was up to him as he could easily jump in again to help his mate

Liz was in a blind rage at the moment throwing her arms and legs around kicking out. She threw her eblows backwards disliking the hold she was in. her wrist getting a worse beating then it already had. Her arm bleeding again from the bullet wound and the ripped stitches. she kicked up high the kick nearly reaching her head showing she was very flexiable even in this state. She was running on fums right now and would crash the moment the adrenaline was down. Peter slowly got up and shook his head" Elza no "He said and pulled her back against him. His nose was bleeding and he had a split lip. He was sure going to feel that for while. He swallowed and sighed" Liz..... it's ok.... yes we're wolven's but I promise I'm still me.... just because I'm turned doesn't mean it changed who I am "he said smoothly. He frowned "I love Elza and I'm happy with her "he said gently. Liz trembled a little but from on lookers it would seem like it was simply out of anger she was trembling but it was because of her past. She didn't trust wolvens and hated them because she was scared they would hurt her. The front of her shirt unbottened a botten or too showing a bit of the top of her scar she got when she was little. it was clear a wolven had hurt her when she was young that tramatized her and made her hate and not trust them. Peter saw the scar and shook his head. He quickly went forward and went to grab Liz's Legs and wrapped his arms around them tightly proventing her from moving them. She cursed out words that didn't seem like english anymore. Excise could feel and hear her heart beat going a million miles an hour. though she still fought he could tell that she was still only human." pin her" 

It took all his will power not to cry out in a pained yelp when Liz slammed her elbows back into him, striking squarely in the injured section of his ribs, right where the crash had done the most damage to his otherwise powerfully built and superbly conditioned body, instead opting to bit his lower lip with an agonized grunt, even as he felt his grip weaken, pain lancing up through his muscles and into the cracked and broken bones. He couldn't focus on what Peter and Elza were doing - he was too busy trying to keep the ever raging female that was his partner in check, while trying not to pass out, mind you, a fairly neat trick, if one stopped to consider it, nearly losing her as agony shuddered up and into his side, the woman coming loose, dangling in his grasp by a hair's breadth, though, as soon as he realized this, Excise lunged forward in a staggering manner to regain the security - feeble as it may have been - that was provided when he kept her raging figure contained within the lithly powerful structures that were his arms. Only to have her twist about and slam the back of her head into his face and chin, busting a lip to match Peter's, causing the blonde to gasp as white hot fire shot through his jaw line, the pointed curve of his fang slicing through the tender flesh of his cheek and gum. Blood splattered within his mouth, he could taste its salty presence, but he paid it no mind, simply pushed it back into that corner where he could ignore it as he worked both of his arms up and under hers, hoisting her feet off the ground - not that it was a particular challenge to do so. She was already doing half of his job for him in that regard when she started kicking once again. He was relieved, however, when she paused, shaking in her anger and the shock of the trauma that had injured her beyond repair so long ago, and Excise used this moment to catch his breath, using all his energy and effort to to focus on containing her once more, and trying to keep her squirming figure from wrenching free to launch itself in murderous rage at the form of Elza, who was standing behind Peter now as he came to the blonde male's aid, Excise was unable to see the scar, but he knew there was more to the story than anyone here was letting on. Though Liz's file was pretty much blank now, he figured it was a traumatic story, and Peter had revealed to him earlier that the scars ran deep, and the wounds had yet to heal. Something that perhaps being partnered to the nearly unshakable Excise might eventually help her with...should she choose to befriend him and open up to the man who was not what he pretended to be. Truly, Excise was grateful when Liz stopped thrashing long enough to hear the soft tones that were Peter's voice, but he knew they would have no effect, not a lasting one anyway, and so was prepared for when she began her thrashing once more, even more grateful for the newblood's help as he came to aid the hybrid in securing his partner by grabbing hold of her legs, wincing as her shrill voice pierced his sensitive ears, though Excise didn't release her to grab hold of them. There was no way it would help. Just another day at the office, huh? He asked himself, thinking back briefly to how he wouldn't even have dreamed earlier he could come this close to what all had happened today. It was by far the strangest, craziest, and most eventful of shifts he'd had in quite a long time. However, her heart rate scared him - it wasn't good for her body to work itself so hard, and now that he listened, he could hear the rasping scrape that was her breath, the ragged tones that were her vocal chords. All things that worried him - should she keep on like this, she could very well kill herself. Plus she had ripped her stitches, reopened the bullet wound, and generally added some sorely unneeded stress onto her already tired and overworked form. It was then that an idea occurred to him, and though Excise did not like it - he hated using that power, after all, it was always so fickle, and then it felt...wrong...somehow to use it on unsuspecting people, he saw no other alternative. Liz could not go on like this. She was only human, after all, and if she kept this up, she was sure to go into some kind of cardiac arrest. A glance at Peter as he ordered Excise to pin her, and the blonde male had made up his mind. By the time her adrenaline had worn itself out, it could be too late, and there was no way they were all going to last long enough to keep Liz down until the moment. It was time. He hated it, but it was the only option, the only choice left to him. "Liz." Excise spoke her name again, this time more powerful and commanding than anything he had ever uttered to her before; there was no chance she was ignoring this one. The word was meant for her, and her alone, and even in this frenzied fever of a state, Liz knew she could not disobey, nor could she resist from looking at the speaker of that hypnotic tone. It held traces and hints of his powers, abilities Excise kept hidden in all but the darkest of places, traces of his corn colored hair falling from its otherwise polished ponytail softened his face, though a soft drip of blood from the corner of his mouth would have added an almost feral, and most certainly horrifying, feature to his otherwise handsome mein. She'd been in midkick, despite Peter's efforts, when he spoke, though she froze now, wide blue eyes focused on the chiseled features of his face, and upon the staring astonishment that were his eyes - they were no longer the luminescent green the orbs so normally held, the ordinary hue they took on when all was well and the day was good, no this time they were a stormy purple, the color of alexandrite in the midst of an undiscovered quarry that had as of yet been unmined, and untouched by human hands. It captured her attention - after all, normal people's eyes didn't change color like that - and then there was the fact that they were just so hard to stop looking at. Almost as if she were drawn into the murky pools that were their depths. When he next spoke, it was the with power of hypnosis, the ability to bring people beneath his control to have them perform whatever actions he might have in mind on a whim, and it was absolute in its reaches and commands. "Calm down. Breathe. Rest. You are safe here. No one's going to hurt you. Just rest."

Liz struggled and heard Excise say her name once more. she froze and looked at him as she caught his gaze. She became transfixed in his gaze unable to turn away. Her eyes slowly softening showing that he had her. She blinked slowly and her body slowly began to go limp in his arms. listening to his words she slowly laid her head back against his chest as her eyes started to get heavy. She blinked once more before muttering a single word" Sh*** "she passed out. Peter blinked and watched Excise get a handle on Liz and raised a brow... yep he's a good match to team up with her. He brushed the blood off his face and licked his lips. He let go of her legs as Excise sets her down. Liz curled up and tried to turn in her sleep so she was curled up against Excise. Her shirt slightly open revealing the scar that still traveled down under the shirt. Excise could possible feel the scar going down from her shoulder all the way towards her hip.

Elza had seen Excise's eyes change and couldnt help but feel a chill go down her spine as the thought of a classical vampire movie came in to her head seeing Liz fall so helpless under the hypnosis. But Elza could tell he wasnt a bad person or an evil vampire like how movies always portayed them and she could sense he didnt like such an ability. Her eyes widened seeing they were both hurt and figured such a power would draw a lot of power, or give the user one hell of a headache, and the fact they had a rough day and were pretty beat up she knew Excise must be on his last legs and got ready incase he went down. "You should sit down you really dont look too good.." She spoke making her way to both of them. Her ears and tail lowered as she spoke again" This... is all my fault isnt it... I should have just waited untill after we told Liz before i turned Peter... A-are.. you alright?" She asks both of them. She knew Peter was alright just a little banged up but the way Excise was swaying a bit had her worried. As if he was a lot more injured then he was trying to let them know

As she fell limp under his power, Excise easily caught her slipping weight, almost as if the reaction were second nature, supporting her smaller form against his own, closing his eyes with a soft hiss of breath as he released the power, the dangerous aura of controlling energy falling away from his form, the young male taking a step back as the world spun and tilted, though he didn't seem as if he were going to fall. His head throbbed, pulsing as if it had a heartbeat of its own, in addition to the dull vibration of the ache in his ribs, a pain that reiterated itself with each breath. His tongue quested to the side of his cheek, slowly examining just what damage had been done when she'd headbutted him, wincing as the soft muscle gently probed the torn, bloodied flesh, knowing that would take a bit of time to mend as well. His legs felt weak, but he refused to go down, especially in front of them. Cool, calm and collected, Excise normally seemed unshakable, even after suffering a day from sheer hell and appearing banged up as he did, though still, the two of them couldn't help but wonder just what kind of toll the events of the day had taken on his body. And then there was the case of Liz; she'd been with him for most of the day, and she wasn't even a Wolven, Vampire, or a Hybrid. How was she faring under the circumstances? Though she was resting now, she would most likely be sore tomorrow, and Excise dreaded the thought of climbing from bed on the dawn of the morn. Well, he'd most likely be camping out on the couch tonigh, so he'd be climbing from it the next day, since he would give Liz his bed, but the principle was the same. He felt his weight unbalance, and knew that if he weren't careful, he'd fall out right here on the floor, and that wasn't something any of them needed. He had to pull himself together, muster up some energy, and get Liz out of here before she came too and they had a repeat incident. She would come around, he was sure, Peter was her best friend after all, and had been since childhood, but it would take time. A great deal of time. He could sense eyes on him, and knew that Elza, at least, was watching, and perhaps Peter too, observing for any signs of catastrophe or impending doom, but the blonde Hybrid was determined that he would not show weakness. Keeping the world at arm's length was what he did best, and judging by the fact he'd just used the most terrible ability in his arsenal, he didn't think that would be a problem. The pair of them should want nothing to do with him now, not after what he had just done, though it was clear he only used it when he had too, and even then, only as a last resort. It wasn't something he advertised, nor was it anything he flaunted. It wasn't even something he was remotely proud of, and truth be told, he'd rather not have the ability to hypnotize another at all. Another wave of pain through his head reminded him of where he was and what he was currently doing, and with a grimace, Excise moved so that he could lean back against the hood of the Camaro, just enough to support both himself and Liz, whom he still kept upright in one arm, tilting his head slightly as she attempted to curl into him, one hand having come up to pinch the bridge of his nose as he breathed softly, a tight grimace of some discomfort upon his handsome mein. Vaguely catching Elza's question, he managed to murmur, "Fine." He didn't realize that even against the car, he was still swaying, even if it were just a touch more controlled.

Elza looked from peter to Excise seeing him leaning against his car seeming to bearly hold liz up. She went over to them a look of worry in her eyes, Elza didnt like to see anyone get hurt and due that she felt this whole situation was squarely her fault she felt like she had to do something to help. Instead of a biting or cruel remark about his power or his vampiric herritage like Excise may expect from a full blood wolven Elza instead spoke softly "Excise.. You dont look too good.." She offered to take the weight of Liz for him so he could regain his balance "You should sit down and try to get your strengh back, Peter told me about the rough day you and liz went through and im amazed your even still walking around from how your car looked when it came in..." She gently took Liz and supported her limp form letting Excise stand again without leaning "Come with me you really should get some sort of rest while we wait for Liz to come back around." She led him in to the part of her shop that was her home which surpriseingly was very nice and gave someone the feeling of being in a house rather then a large repair shop. She gently laid Liz down in her room letting Excise take a seat on the couch or next to liz on the bed if he wished. Perhaps the way Elza seemed to not mind what he was bothered him, or the care she seemed to have for Liz who only 5 minutes ago wanted to tear her throat out and to him a stranger she had never met who displayed a dark and perhaps horrible power right infront of her. Elza did feel at fault for the fight however even if she felt guilt free she still would want to help them

Peter went to Elza and wrapped his arms around her after helping move Liz to a more comfortable spot. He brought the blanket up around her tucking her in tightly in a way you would tuck in someone who sleepwalked. He then got up and went to Elza. He kissed her lovingly and comfortingly before looking at Excise" so hybred hmm? "he said gently and smiled" That explains how you handled today so well and so capable of your job... your pretty strong. "he said gently then looked at Elza" remember I choose when I wished to turn remember this isn't your fault "he said gently wrapping his arm around her. 

Excise blinked open one, single eye as Elza approached him, the orb having returned to its ordinary green hue, watching as she came near and listening to her words, the soft tone she used surprising him a bit once again. He'd have expected her rebuttal almost instantly - Hybrids weren't often looked well upon here in Forbidden, or anywhere in the world really, unless they managed to claw together some sort or form of respect by rising to great deeds and the status of hero, as Icia, leader of DemonIce, once had. But Excise was no Icia, and unfortunately, a lot of the myths and legends surrounding Wolven culture were beginning to die away, lost in the overwhelming sense that was the city, and the vast opportunity for differences that were so often presented to their kind. And so it was with a raised brow that he regarded her as she offered to take Liz, though he had to admit, he wasn't really in any shape to refuse (or resist), and his partner was going to be down and out for awhile - his power had seen to that. It would do no good to take her to the motel for her to gather her things now, not while she was unconscious. "Not my first rough day," he murmured in response to her expression, though it was all he said, and it was far from opening up. Seemed as if he would keep them at arms' length still yet, even after all that had happened and all the four of them had been through. Still, he allowed Elza to take Liz's weight from him, which helped a little, though not by much. He still appeared to be swaying, the only difference was that now he was able to relax his arm or use it as a support, resting it back along the edge of the Camaro once again, the other hand, the one that had been pinching the bridge of his nose coming away from his face as the situation changed and the threat of moving seemed imminent, though as he turned his head to regard his hosts, another sharp pain forced him to return it to its earlier position with a well hidden grimace of a wince, the gleaming white of the bandages about his head shining in the soft filter of the moonlight through the window. Rallying himself so that he might follow both the other female and Peter, Excise managed to get through the house without tripping too awful much, and he was able to refrain from collapsing upon his face at any given moment until he managed to sit down. His head wasn't very happy with him though - it felt like there was a thunderstorm rattling around in his skull as he lowered himself down onto a nearby chair where he could still keep an eye on Liz, and thunder crashing with booming sharpness every few seconds. But he wouldn't be far from his partner. She'd be confused when she woke, and possibly quite weak, not in any condition to be left alone or given even a remote chance to rise and wander without first properly assessing her position. While Elza's turnabout in behavior was a bit unexpected, it wasn't unheard of, and quite frankly, Excise was just glad that someone like her was still around to show that the world wasn't all dead, and that there were still some people in it worth saving. Resting his elbows on his knees, he rubbed his face with his hands, growing still as he rested both index fingers on the bridge of his nose once more, again closing his luminescent green orbs as he listened to the area surrounding him, murmuring in response to the brunette's comment regarding Liz's coming around, "It'll be awhile."
