4. Throwing Thoughts
The party had become considerably more quiet since Viggo and Sean had left it. Hugo and Ian continued to survey the room. The vampire began to think out loud, albeit quietly. "It isn�t just the misery of the initial transformation that has Sean, is it? Sean . . . he doesn�t know what�s happening to him, does he, Ian?"
"I�ve had my suspicions," the older man replied, "and his leaving practically confirms it."
"I know little of the Beast-folk, except for the older vampires� feelings that they�re lowlifes, and my own that they�re generally not. Still, I should think they teach their own. They don�t abandon them, surely?" Hugo questioned.
"Not usually, but I suspect that Sean was never meant to be a convert. He was meant to be prey."
"He fought off a werewolf ?! That takes more than some doing, even for a vampire. For a normal human to have done it . . ."
"Sean isn�t really a �normal human�. All of our charges are exceptional people."
"I�m not arguing with you, Ian. Still, I�m sure luck had a hand in saving him, " Hugo took another sip of blood wine. "Someone should talk to him about it."
"Someone has to. Viggo doesn�t know a thing about it, and if he stays too long . . ." Ian corrected.
"If he stays too long?"
"Sean hasn�t acknowledged the animal presence in him. Worse, he doesn�t even know about it. Usually, a shape-changer can stave off the animal by changing occasionally, willingly, except during the full moon, when they don�t have a choice. If a werewolf doesn�t embrace his or her other side, the beast vies for the human�s attention. Soon, it grows so crazed and so angry that-" Ian paused.
John Rhys-Davies suddenly entered their conversation. "The wolf takes over. It�s Sean, isn�t it? He�s never that twitchy. I thought I heard it in his voice, and I was really hoping that it was something much more mundane." John had been a member of a society that would know, long ago, before he becan acn actor. The Vigil were mortal humans, a few of which who were gifted with psychic abilities or magick, but most not, who walked between the mundane world and the darker underground. They were invisible protectors to the human and supernatural races both, eliminating anyone on either side who had become a serious threat to safety, or to secrecy. As it was a dangerous life, John had opted out of it in his early twenties. "I knew there was going to be trouble as soon as that Rickman walked in. Vigil should have had him put down long ago."
"�Long ago�, he hadn�t the decency he has now," Ian protested.
John raised an eyebrow, "Is that what you call it? Be careful around him."
"There�s more to his behavior than you guess. A little more than a year ago, his longtime human consort was murdered. If I can�t condone his relapse, I can at least understand the reason."
"Why didn�t you tell me this when he came in?" Hugo demanded; it practically explained everything.
"I won�t say that the moods he�s had since he came out of mourning have covered his grief well, but they have often covered it better than now. Something has agitated him."
"It�s self-destructive. He�s close to hunting humans in earnest," Hugo pointed out, and John nodded, recognizing the behavior as well. Vampires nowadays could not awa away with killing freely, and they had strict laws concerning the number and condition of prey. Each vampire had a quota of humans that he or she could get away with, and each one needed to be a merciful kill, generally among those of ter terminally ill, or of the very worst criminals. Some didn�t chance the moral implications of it all, but sipped here and there from mortals without killing, or, like Hugo, relied on animal blood, generally bottled, which was readily available. Those vampires who didn�t follow the dictates were dangerous to the secrecy of the vampiric community and to the mortals alike, and were destroyed by either the Vigil, or the vampire Lords they were subject to. "After this is over, you need to spend some time with him, Ian, talk to him."
"After what is over?"
"The Order of Starlight, according to Alan, is plotting something, probably concerning the Hobbits and Orli," Ian answered.
"They don�t exist." John snorted. "They're just some obscure piece of information you hunted down, Ian."
"Alan wouldn�t have sought me out to tell me a lie; he may play with people�s emotions, but not with information, unless it can protect his court."
"Well, if they want trouble with us, they're sure to find it," John shrugged, his voice light. Though he hadn't spent as much free time with the rest of them, he was as attached as the others to his castmates. "But do you really think any cult wants the trouble it'll get if even touches the Hobbits or the Elf? Just the trouble from them, with us completely notwithstanding?"
Ian was still perfectly serious. "We have to keep an eye on the boys."
"Two eyes," Hugo reminded gently. "But, priority one right now would seem to be getting to Sean and Viggo, explaining everything. Unfortunately, there�s no tactful way to do it. Do you even think we should involve Viggo?"
"He�s not going to settle for anything else than the truth; he�s very attached to Sean, perhaps more than he�ll acknowledge. Viggo, I�d trust to keep the secrets of the supernatural world. In fact, I�d trust him to believe far more easily than Bean will, despite the pain he�s in," Ian answered, carefully.
"He has read a fair amount on mythology; it�s like having our own Indiana Jones, with the places he�s lived, and you know how well I'd know," John agreed. "I would have picked him for the Vigil before I picked myself."
