With the drama outside at the elder council slowly calming down, thanks to Lance barking orders to Daisuke and Yamoto to get Julie inside; over at the school; Spencer was still clearly wanting out of Nate’s car. With the principal watching as well as a few stundents, Nate was reluctant to leave his vehicle for fear Spencer would try and get out as well.
“What started this,” Principal Andrews looking at Spencer going ballistic in trying to get out of Nate’s car.
“Sir,” Nate looking at the principal; “I’m not sure what happened, but it has to do with Frieda and my brother Eric.”
“Well calm her down,” the principal stating.
“What do you think I’ve been trying to do,” Nate nearly growls; “sing her a song? If I open the door, Spencer is just going to take off like a shot to the elder council building.”
The principal just stares for a moment before ordering everybody to clear out and head to class. Heading to the passenger door; the principal makes it clear to Nate he is to unlock the door. Reluctantly; Nate unlocks the doors and Spencer quickly leaves the car. With Principal Andrews outside, he tries to catch and stop Spencer from running of, but she is clearly way to fast; even for a were such as himself.
Nate watching Spencer run off into a wooded area, heading for a building he doesn’t know its exact location; Nate just gets out of his vehicle and looks at Principal Andrews.
“Before you ask,” Nate looking at an unamused principal; “I don’t know what exactly started her wig out. All I was able to get out of her was I need to be with Eric and Frieda.”
“I’ll inform the council and Sheriff Copper,” the principal answers; “you need to head to class, unless you want an added day to your current week long detention stint.”

It wasn’t long after Lance escorted both Eric and Frieda inside; when Tachibana waalked down to the front security desk.
“What happened,” Tachibana seeing two agitated were-panthers with Lance Knight and Lila carpenter.
“Julie Stovall saw Eric and Frieda and rushed to attack them,” Lance staring at Tachibana; “Eric shifted and was clearly mad that she would try and approach him and Frieda.”
“Frieda also shifted in daylight as well,” Tachibana staring at the two cubs that are still clearly upset.
“And shortly after that,” Lance’s anger rising; “your grandsons brandish weapons threatening to use them! I had to order them to stand down before things got ugly!”
“Daisuke and-“
“I don’t care what orders you gave them Tachibana,” Lance interrupting; “they should have known better. Even Julie’s parents were livid! Daisuke pointed his sword at Julie, pressing the tip of the blade to her nose!”
Tachibana bites her tongue; surprised that Lance would give her such a tongue lashing. Composing herself; “I will talk to Daisuke and Yamoto about their choice in ending the conflict. In the meantime,” Tachibana looking at Eric and Frieda; escort your charges to the gathering area.”
“Before the proceedings commence or when Frieda is called,” Lance speaking up; “would it be possible for her parents to visit and make sure their daughter is okay?”
“I take it they are on their way already,” Tachibana asking just, as a were-fox approaches with a message. Tachibana reading the message and nods; “it looks like Spencer is on her way here as well.”
“Spencer is coming,” Eric speaking up.
“She must have sensed something was wrong,” Frieda speaking; “looking at Tachibana, “you’re not going to have her arrest for trespassing now are you?”
“Principal Andrews wants us to detain Spencer so the sheriff can escort her back to school,” Tachibana stating; “but seeing you two clearly agitated, I think its best she stays with you for the time being.” Looking at the were-fox, “let security know and have them escort Spencer into the building and straight to Eric and Frieda.”
“Yes ma’am,” the were-fox nodding.
Tachibana looking back at Lance; when your brother shows up, take him to my private office. There is something I need to discuss with him.” Tachibana thinking for a moment, “and if Eric parents also show up, have them also come to my private office; it would be better I tell them all at once, you as well.”
“Okay you two,” Lance seeing Tachibana walk off; “while you have already shifted into your were-panther fursonas, you still need to remove your clothes. Even if they were bought at Awareness.”
Eric and Frieda quickly removed their clothes and handed them to a werewolf attendant who then hands them a white robe. “For those that want to maintain modesty even while in their fursonas;” she kindly states.
“Thanks,” Eric answers while he and Frieda take the robes but choosing not to wear it right that instant; “were do I dispose of these?” Eric holding up his destroyed socks and sneakers.
“I’ll take them and make sure they are thrown in the trash,” the werewolf attendant speaks; “now if you’ll follow me, I’ll lead you two where you may freshen up or relax until you are needed.”
“Make sure they are nowhere near Julie Stovall,” Lance speaking up; “we do not want a repeat of what happened outside.”
The female werewolf nods as she guides Eric and Frieda to what could be referred to as a common area where the council members gather to rest recreate and perform other matter in between council sessions.
Tachibana back in the office reserved for the most senior of the council members, reflects on what just happened.
“Is this what you warned me in my dream dear husband,” Tachibana thinking; “is the bond these three share so strong, that Spencer could sense Eric and Frieda’s distress clearly on the other side of town?”
Before Tachibana could answer her own question a were-fox knocked on the door.
“Miss Tachibana, Benton and his wife have just arrived; so have the Andersons. Lance is with them at security.”
