[D4 LA] New Kid on the Block

Home to the Summer court. The Mane Man is a barber shop that has been in steady use for about twenty years now, run by Big Red to most, King Redmane to the Lost, it is a clean if raucous place of philosophy, discussion, and a stabilizing hand in the community. All are welcome, you don't cause trouble on Big Red's time.

[D4 LA] New Kid on the Block

Craig was still in a dark mood as he walked with Amber to the Mane Man "Thanks for the back up back there. God I came so close to just pulverizing the jackal headed fuck." Craig fumed as the approached the barber shop.

"Of course," she said, a bit more muted than her typical. Brooding, looking out over the streets as they walked toward their destination. Amber's flame burned mysteriously, gaining in strength with a breath in and lessening with a breath out, sometimes reversing this pattern.

"I.." she started, but was hesitant, holding herself back. "That isn't right, what they do," she finally managed while remaining contained.

Sitting on a bench in front of the barber shop is another member of the Summer Court, Father Steel.

walker nods to the other Lost "Father, how are you today?" he asked respectfully. Steel and Redmane bumped heads on occasion and Steel was a bit too fire and brimstone for Craig's taste but he was still a well respected member of the summer court and Craig would treat him as such.

Walker then looked to Amber and motioned towards her "Father Steel, this is Amber. She's new to town and arrived for the festival, I am bringing her to meet with Redmane to introduce them. Amber, this is Father Steel, he is a well respected member of the summer court here in Minuit."

Father Steel rose and said, “Blessings on you both, good to hear you are well. I heard that you were going to challenge the Winter court. Forgive my language but I hope you gave them a stern butt whooping.”

He turned to Amber and added, “Welcome to Minuit, a mostly safe place.”

"Thank you," she said, inclining her head in his direction with a forced smile.

Amber thought to explain, but held herself back. Likely it was better coming from Craig anyway. Grinding her foot against the ground she wavered for a moment, her flames dim.

Father Steel said, "Well I was hoping to speak with Craig but this affects all brothers and sisters of the Summer, and indeed all members of the freehold. I promise to spare you the sermon, but if you are keen to push back against Winter I may have something that could help. Lord knows Redmane will want to keep the peace but war is coming."

"I'm not much a member of this Freehold, but I have thought about it, Father," she said, "but from what I have already seen I cannot condone what I have seen of Winter so far. Perhaps you would be willing for my help? I may not have roots here but... I can hardly turn away when there are people in need, how could I?"

"I admire your adherence to compassion," he said proudly.

Craig eyed Steel warily for a moment "What would this help be? Winter is on warning, we should be prepared for war but I dont believe we need to seek it. Fighting is something I am used to but it isn't always the best solution." The court of wrath can be quick to anger but they have learned that anger is a poor power source that burns you up. Craig has been learning to control his over the years and look for other solutions besides violence.
