Alexander hobbled as fast as he could into the house before slamming the door shut. He then proceeded to put the house into lockdown, shutting off every available exit and entrance and revoking anyone's right to just pop in and visit. Even Mel's. The house was completely cut off from the rest of the multiverse and it would remain so until he reopened. Which wouldn't be for a while, if he had anything to say about it.

Panting he slumped against the door, leaning his head back and moaning slightly. He felt horrible. Half himself. Caught and trapped. And it was all that stupid Sue's fault. He tugged uselessly at the pendent around his neck. "Oh gods... oh gods... I can handle this. Yes... where's Nick?" He staggered up, "Nick? NICK!" he bellowed out, hoping that the boy wasn't on the other side of the door. Hoping that he had come home already.

Limping, he started to the bedroom where he hoped that Nick was.

"Lure her to Ancelstierre. The charter wouldn't work there and neither would her bells."

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"It would have to be deep into Ancelstierre, wouldn't it? Far away from the Wall?"

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"Yes. You could convince her that you were escorting me back home and you'd like her to come along?"

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"She doesn't want us anywhere near each other. She won't allow it, I don't think."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"Well, then, you tell her you're taking her somewhere, but go deep into Ancelstierre, and I'll be there, waiting for her."

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

He thinks this over, "I don't know Ancelstierre."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"I do. I'm sure there's a good location somewhere..."

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"Well, you pick somewhere, and we'll go check it out."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"All right. Let me think about it for a bit."

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"Somewhere defensible and we could pull off a good ambush. Out of the way of most people, so they don't get involved."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"I'll be the ambushing one. You should probably get out of the way, so she can't command you to fight me. You'd make quick work of me."

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"I will try, but we still need to set up the ambush. Scout out the area and everything like that."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"Yes. As soon as I think of one."

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

He holds Nick silently, letting him think.

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"I think I know a place. My uncle's estate... there are woods and things, he's rarely there."

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"That might do... isn't your uncle the Chief Minister?"

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"Yes. His estate's very big, there are a lot of remote places to go..."

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"Good, good. That definately might work."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

Nick nods.

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"I should change into something more appropriate and we should go and check out the estate."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"Yes. All right." Nick gets up, a little reluctantly.

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"Better to get this done quickly so we can get back to other things."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"Yes. Definitely."

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

He hobbles up, "Look at it this way. You'll be able to see me looking neat."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

Nick laughs. "I'll try not to muss you."
