"You let me worry abotu names, alright? I don't want you worrying, i want you relaxing.

She nodded; it wasn't her business anyway, from a social standpoint, to stick her nose into the business of names and grudges between men. Theodora just didn't want to fight today, or she might have had something to say.

Perhaps I can get you leave from school for a few days..

"It's all right," Theo mustered up a smile. It was sweet of him to think of her. She lifted a shoulder, "They'd just send me home, and I'd prefer not to be home right now." Whether she meant his home or hers was still up in the air; she didn't bother clarifying.

Silly enough to fall for his tricks. But he overpowers you in strength and he shouldn't have tried tot rick you in the first place.

He was right. Theo didn't like that fact very much, especially since his eyes had gotten that hard look in them again that always gave her the chills. She nodded silently, keeping watch on her hands as he spoke.

You belong to me. You are an extension of my hand, my property even. No one had a right to touch you. I will deal out punishment as needed." he said darkly.

The silence stretched out between them, and finally, Theo nodded, "You're absolutely right." She rubbed a hand over her bicep and simply looked over his face. "I don't think you've been more right about anything in a long time." Afterall, she had warned Haddock that he had no right to touch her, and he did it anyway. Like a spoiled child.

Theodora shrugged. Haddock would catch it eventually. Karma would bite him in the ass. That made her smile, and her smile was genuine. She wondered idly if Matthias knew what was going on in her head. "You'll do what you have to do. I'll stand by you in that."
