Tommy and Eris shot each other a panicked look at the voice that boomed throughout the room. It took the brunette a moment before she dared to look up at Wilbur, who stood in the middle of the space, arms wrapped loosely around his chest while his dark features showed a mixture of impatience, annoyance and anger. The smallest sliver of worry seemed to be present also, but was given no priority over the more severe emotions.

Both teenagers couldn't seem to find their voice for a moment, leaving room for Wilbur to speak up again, eyeing the auburn-haired man that still stood beside Eris and Tommy, "Fundy, can you give us a minute. I need a word with Tommy and Eris."

Fundy nodded, quickly making his way out of the room. Eris honestly wished she could follow him, not wanting to deal with Wilbur's anger, but she knew that wasn't an option.

Tommy and her found themselves in this exact position quite a lot. Trouble seemed to be their middle name as the duo created havoc wherever they went, to the dismay of Wilbur and a lot of other people. Eris couldn't care less whether people were mad at her or not however. There were only a few people in the world that could make Eris feel guilty for her actions, and Wilbur, unfortunately, happened to be one of them.

"Talk. Now."

Eris wanted to speak but was cut off by Tommy, "Eris and I burned down Sapnap's house. The bastard deserved it too. Then we ran into Dream, Sapnap and George. So I ran while Eris distracted them. I sprained my ankle when I tripped over some fucking root- which wasn't my fault by the way and now we're here. Quite the story, innit?"

The brunette cringed at her friend's careless words. They weren't particularly flattering and definitely weren't helping with getting Wilbur to not to be angry with the two.

The tall man in front of them did not respond for a good second. He only put his hands up to the sides of his face, massaging his temples slowly,

"You've got to be fucking kidding me.." He eventually breathed quietly but clearly, making it clear that he wasn't pleased with the situation, "You burned down Sapnap's house?"

"Yes, sir." Eris replied curtly, only realising how sarcastic she sounded after the words had already left her mouth, making her cringe slightly.

Wilbur shot a sharp glare in her direction, "Do you have any idea what you've just done. Any idea?!"

The man's booming voice left the two teenagers speechless once again.

"You just burned down Sapnap's home. One of Dream's closest allies. The same Dream who has a signed treaty with L'Manberg that states that he would leave us alone as long as we did not cause trouble. And what did you just do? You fucking caused trouble. I can't believe this."

"He killed my cow, Will! I had to do something!" Tommy interrupted hastily.

Wilbur shot a silencing finger in his direction in reply, "Save it, Tommy. I don't want to hear it. I hope you two know how serious this situation is. I haven't heard from Dream himself yet, but I could bet you money that I will soon."

The brunet paused his rant to eye both of the teens individually, "You just started a war, and I hope you're ready for it."

"Will-." Eris started, standing up from her position at the end of Tommy's bed.

Wilbur gave her a look of warning, but she ignored it, "Aren't you sick of having to be under Dream's rule? He can do whatever he wants just because he could break the treaty and strip L'Manberg of its independence. That's not what real independence sounds like to me!"
