Sending a Message

[DrDonaldBlake]

Donald really had no real idea where to find the person he was looking for. In fact, the only thing he knew was that the two times he’d ever actually come into contact with him, it was right here, at this cave. This cave, where he had rushed to save Pris and Thor had come to save Pris. Donald stood in front of its entrance, a good distance away, just to be safe in case he got rushed by someone from inside, there was cloud cover overhead and he could summon his muscle if he needed to. Hopefully it wouldn’t come to that… or maybe hopefully it did, then the problem would be taken care of here and now.

“I know, in all likelihood, that I’m not talking to anyone right now.” Taking a single step towards the cave with his hand on top of his walking stick; the other in the pocket for his winter coat which was zipped up tight. “But, from what I understand you can see and hear through things you have a connection with… And I’m not going to talk to you through another person, that’s just rude. And since, I’m more then certain I’d never be able to get you face to face… This is going to have to work.”

“First things, first… I don’t like you, I don’t trust you, and if I could control it, I’d lock you in this cave with only yourself as company. Now, some people would say that it isn’t fair to judge someone that you don’t really know and normally… I won’t do it. But, I’m making an exception here for you.”

“Why? Because when I speak to one person, they tell me that you’re a malevolent being who only wishes to see her under his control against her wishes… But, on the flipside, there is another person who sings your praises… tells me that you do so much to help her… help her righting the wrongs that she feels need righting. Now, it’s nothing I haven’t seen before… a two faced person, I’ve seen a lot of them back home. More often then not, they’re bad people… and judging from the fact that I’ve been called to rescue someone from you… I’m more then inclined to add you to that column there.”

Donald’s blue eyes wandered over the entrance of the cave and then once again looked into its entrance. “I’m sure you’d like to know when I’m going to get to the point. And uh, here it is… You are going to keep your teeth and claws off of Pris. Because you know what I’m capable of, and if anything happens to her… I will bring this cave down around you…” He stood there for a moment, waiting to see if anything would happen. Or even if there was something that could show him that his message had been heard.

And what was this? Someone, who he did not have a direct connection with nor had he invited for contact, was trying to reach him. While this wasn't unheard of he considered it to be a thorn. In times past some people would know of one of his 'places' and leave sacrifices or homage to 'The Wolf' in hopes that their lives would be spared or vengeance brought down on others. Oh how he loathed those days early days of his existence. He wasn't a god and had no desire for people to categorize or treat him as such.

Nothing had changed from then to now - his feeling of it was still the same. But could be seeking to contact him? Stretching down one of his many connecting lines to the area of the cave he looked around and saw that the one talking to him was none other than Donald Blake. Thor. Perhaps he was wrong but it seemed as though the man was casting judgment upon him. What was being said was defiantly worthy of a reply.

"Spoken like the true man you are. Keep my claws and teeth off of her..." That was the first thing replied to Donald's words and those two sentences were carried out and away from the cave to be heard. Indeed, they came from inside but whether or not Benjamin was inside at the moment, or if it was being used as a conduit was another story.
Donald had been correct when assuming that Benjamin could hear or be reached through the things he had a connection to, that is how he had gotten a reply.

If air could have a color then the one that carried the words would be dark. A perfect match for the tone. "Are you jealous Donald? Do you come out here to say these things to me because I am making her happy?" The ending word had a lighter tone that was just shy of a chuckle. "Tell me, have I mistreated her? Removed myself from her presence while she has been in pain or suffering in any form?" It was obvious to him that the answer to the questions was 'no'.

"The only time that I have touched her, aside from her birthday, was to aide our travel together. And that was a touch on the hand. Now tell me," the voice grew deeper even as the darkness of the cave did the same.

"What harm have I done to Pris?"

“Spoken like the man I am? You don’t’ know a thing about me… And, you are going to keep your teeth and claws off of her…” Donald leaned more into his walking stick. Looking right into the cave unwavering in his stance; a smirk forming upon his face at the moment.”… Me, on the other hand, I know plenty about you, mostly because, I’ve seen you before. Time and time again. All you megalomaniacal types are all the same.”

“You lure them in young, building dependency by giving them pretty gifts, granting their wishes. Bur we can’t do too much, otherwise it’s too easy for a fulcrum shift and suddenly you’re catering to their whims… So, we give everything a price, something small… innocent. But those small innocent things build, and when you’ve got your hold. You now secure in your control are free to do whatever you want to them…”


Donald took another step towards the cave, raising his walking stick, to hold in both hands, turning it idlely in his hands. “Am I jealous… not in the slightest, because I don’t need fancy trinkets or teleportation for get people to talk to me.” And he lowered it back to the ground.

“And to answer your last question…You’re right… you haven’t hurt her, yet… but that’s not how you…” Donald’s attention faltered for a moment tearing his eyes from the cave for a moment. Along with the rest of his body he took a few steps away, looking rather disoriented for a second before standing strait again. A bauble offered to Pris for her birthday from the good people of Asgard. A hairclip that was meant to inform Thor when Pris was under duress had apparently made no distinction between Donald and the god himself. And he wasn’t ready to handle such a strain on his mind. “…work… Excuse me. Sorry about that, you don’t hurt them directly. If at all… I’m going to go now, I’ve more important things to take care of, and our message has been received. Heed my warning… you’d be wise to.”

Once again Donald turned away from the cave. His walking stick given a tap to the ground, which was when Donald Blake gave way to Thor Odinson. He had nothing to say to a man who would not stand in person to defend himself. Such was a coward’s way. And there where more pressing matters to attend to. One under the protection of Asgard felt she needed help. And Asgard was never one to keep one waiting. A few more steps and Thor was struck by a bolt of lightning, carrying him away with it, along the light to help someone who needed it.

Of anything else Benjamin could at least give Donald a few marks for proving himself to have the arrogance and egotistical mindset to say what he had. Even if the whole of it did not hold the ring of truth. While the good doctor might have claimed that he wasn't jealous Benjamin marked that off as a lie. The man was jealous of something.

None of that really mattered and if the man really knew what Benjamin was about and his relationship towards Pris then he wouldn't have made his statements. There was one thing that Donald had been completely right about and that was the fact that there were more important things that needed attending. Coincidentally, they were two males who happened to have coinciding concerns at the moment.

Donald left and so ended the message at the cave.
