To Dwell In Nightmares and Dreams

To Deal With...

Stiles stopped walking away and turned towards the boy, their eyes connecting. The kid looked away but it was to late for that.

Suddenly he assumed to be the mother through herself in front of him.

"Please, he is only a child. He meant no offence Master"

She was down on her knees, begging.

Stiles wondered what the last ex master used to be like if this is the reaction of fear he got.

But he had to address it somehow, with all these people watching. However the truth was he did not know how to deal with this situation.

He felt angry and his magic moved with agitation inside him. No one should look him in the eyes until he wanted them too.

He doubted it but if this boy was good at soul magic, there could be all sorts of things, private things he could have learned by looking at him in the eyes.

The reason why it was considered deeply offensive to look a Lord/Lady or the Grand Master in the eyes wasn't just because of a class system.

Though to be fair Stiles wasn't sure how he felt about the class system in this world but he'd decided a long time ago he'd role with it until other problems had been dealt with.

He wanted this to be a stable society and a balanced world before he decided on any drastic law changes.

So instead he look down on the mother.

His voice cold "Come to the Lady or Lord of Minds home tomorrow. I will decide what to do with you then. Bring the boy"

The women trembled in fear but nodded her head. She forced her sons head down before bowing her own.

With that settled for now and Stiles was sure the crowd could not judge him on how he dealt with this situation, for all they knew he'd be executing them or giving them a slap on the wrists. They could not judge him on something they didn't know.

Though they could judge him on his choice on the prisoner. There where still angry shouts as he left. He could still here the angered whispering in his own head as he entered the ex Lord of Minds home.

Alicia was waiting for him there. Madam Rucia had decided to back to her duties.

"So, How did it go?" She asked eagerly.

He turned himself back to his human size as he let out a long suffering sigh. His voice his more toned down version.
"You want a honest answer?"

Alicia cringed a little "Ah, not good?"

"They didn't riot, so I guess that's good" Stiles mumbled.

"I'll need to stay here a little longer as well. I don't believe I'll be able to rule this district while being in the soul district. There's so much I need to sort out"

And make sure no riots or rebellions start Stiles thought grimly.

Alicia just smiled at that "Good thing for me then. I'm glad I'll see you more often"

Stiles smiled at that.
