Brother... You will return. Now.

Or must I find you before the hunters?

[He flinches visibly at that]

They killed my wolf-warden.

[beat] My warden. My warden's dead. Someone did it. What if they think it was me?

And this will be seen to! There is no need to disgrace yourself in this fashion!

Do you wish to cause us pain upon your destruction? I, who have provided and soothed you? Vladislaus, who saved you from death's embrace? Is this your thanks?!

[The thought of causing him pain is far too much to bear. At the moment, he's father.]

Someone killed him.

So I'll kill him back. We could do it together, hunt together.

And your actions injured the Count! Perhaps I should punish you for this, too!

It is not for you to take vengeance. It is for you to abide by your teacher's wishes. Did you stop to think of this? Did you ask him?

He will not be thankful for this. I guarantee it.

...What?

...They've hurt-

No. No! ...I-

No. Not 'they'. You, in your savage desire to inflict agony.

I know this drive... And still, I have it, but I know, too, when it is best applied. This is not that time.

Vladislaus understands these things, too... Retreat to your cell, brother. You are young and this will be forgiven.

Please.

Sister.

[He says this softly.]

Come and play.

[Temptation, but...]

No. I have grown beyond this now, as you must.

It dishonours you...
