William holds the clothes, and looks at Maria. "Oh. Well. OK." Heading into the room, he says. "Well, Eric, given any thought to what I've said?"

"What, the fact that you told me you were a cold blooded killer of the fact that your trying to rule us with Tyranny." Eric looks with a look of utter seriousness. "Honestly your not going on about the role of "leader" very well. To be a good leader you have to have respect for the people under you. You have to treat them as equals. Respect is earned. Not something you can take. Being in the military I'm sure you should know this already." Eric speaks very calmly to Will knowing that will only sees him as a child, but hoping that he actually listens to him. "I have no problem with you, but you should boss people around just because you can. you have to realize that telling someone you don't know what to do isn't going to get you anywhere. You need to tell them, but expect them to make their own decisions. I know this just sounds like a lecture from some little punk kid who knows nothing, but I have lived. I've seen good leaders make a differance. You have potential for that. You just have to learn how to deal with people better. Explain why you wish for us to do something before you expect us to bow down and do your biddings." Eric speaks to William as if he were an adult just like him. "See how I'm speaking to you right now. This is how you should be with us. You get your point across, but also explain why and how they can do so that may one day be better at it then you." Eric sits quietly and waits for Wills reply

Alice grabs Erics bag, and tries to grin. "Be careful" she warns "Don't do anything foolish, ok?" She smiles "I've gotten used to having you around"
She then heads to the kitchen and sits quietly, not wanting to bother Sparks or Michael.

William's voice is more even, and more practiced than Eric's. "I do seem to recall being very explicit, even graphic, originally, about how I didn't want you to wander off. If you were the adult you claim to be, Eric, that would have been enough. And, being in the military clearly is foreign to you, because if it weren't, you'ld know that the burden of leadership means detatchment. It means being able to kill your enemies. And to send your friends to their death. Being in the military also means that you do what you're told, without question or hesitation. Even if it means the faces of the people you killed being etched into your mind until the day you die."
William takes a deep breath.
"You're a child. Like it or not. And you have a lot to learn. And one of the things you need to learn is that there are people who will be in control of your life, and will tell you what to do. And they won't explain why, but still expect you to do it. You want to be anything near an equal to me, you'll have to grow pretty fast. You want to live until you see tomorrow, you'll have to grow up even faster. And let go of everything you think you know about how the world works. Because it's much more sinister what we're running into. I'm one of the good-guys. The villains will be decidedly less leniant with you." With that, William looks over the kid again, and walks out of the room without another word.

*sits quietly, waiting .. and then stares into her empty mug, and then glances at the kettle before standing up to refill it with some of the still remaining hattish water, then sits again and remains quiet while sipping.
*gets up from time to time to wipe up the small puddles again before looking up at alice .. 'so .. whats your name and what is your angle on this?
*eyes continue to study, but remains quiet

Alice looks up, a bit surprised as she was lost in thought. "Oh, my name is Alice." she replies quietly. She thinks about the second question for a few minutes before answering, "I don't know much about what's going on, honestly. I helped Jason when he was in trouble yesterday, and somehow got dragged into the middle of everything."

Alice smiles weakly "Yeah. I'm feeling a little out of place myself."
Alice stands up as sparks wipes up the puddles "There must be a laundry room around here somewhere. Then you and Michael could wash and dry your clothes" she says with a shy smile at Michael. "I'll poke around and see if I can find one."

Eric waits till Will finishes as he turns around Eric says "So you would send your friends out to die?" Eric doesn't want to believe that the person who is supose to lead them would just send his troops to their deaths. "A true leader would send himself to die rather then his troops." Eric stands there and watches Will walk away

William doesn't answer Eric, instead leaving the room, neither looking back, hurrying, nor slouching in defeat. Not really in a hurry to leave or stay. Eric's idealism was refreshing, but his romanticized view of the world is keeping him from understanding William's point, it seems.

'really? .. but .. i only got 5 with me .. so i gotta watch my money .. not a lot to find when the sun starts to go down .. *then goes quiet as she watches William walk in, then sits down again, the towel dropping from the hand.
*gulps and then stares into her mug quietly, not liking this one bit, then takes a peek at Michael* -= its getting crowded in here .. i know we didn't do wrong .. but i think its my turn to get yelled at now =-

That has to be the best shower I've ever had Michael voice popped into Spark's mind as he walked into the kitchen wearing a black jogging suit that was too small for him. He shot a glare a Trevor when he snickered, that quickly got a glare in return. " Come on", Trevor motioned for Michael to follow, I'll find you something in an adult size". The pair dissappeared, returning a few minutes later with Michael in a much better fitting outfit.
When they did, trevor took Will by the arm and spoke just loud enoughto be heard, his tone gravelly and calculated. " I said I'd try to get along with you, but don't go throwing it away by trying to make a point. Otherwise I'll show you just how much I hate your kind, old man." He released his hold and walked out of the room.
Maybe William will forget about us and take it out on Trevor Michael projected to sparks as he sipped his tea, flinching as a door down the hallway was slammed nearly off it's hinges.
