"Shove off," Echo nudged Flo's shoulder to the side. "I'm as fearsome as demons come you prat!" Echo glowered, all in good fun of course, she wasn't truly offended because she knew that while Flo did not find her particularly fearsome, there were others that wet their pants upon the very mention of a King. Echo's impressive power was something to shake a stick at, if she did think so herself. Of course, Echo did not think she was too hot to trot, but she did like to think that she was ranked up there among the most powerful in the Tower Society; at least among the English branch. Being a Baroness helped with that ranking of course. It was rather unfortunate really, Echo had never wanted to become a Baroness; a tool of her parent's design. She had never been swayed by familial bonds and yet her parents felt it a duty to turn her into their own little monster. The gesture would have been sweet if not for the extensive torture and the fact that they had turned her former human into a demon.
Echo stiffened, noticing the subtle change in Flo's stature. When Flo spoke, confirming her guess, Echo gave her a hard slap across the cheek. "Pull yourself together," she spoke rather angrily. "Learning to curb your blood lust should have been the first thing you were taught!" Echo grabbed Flo by the arm and directed her back towards the Tower Society's ugly building. "Come on then, you're daft if you think I'm going to let you stay out here with all of these citizens." Mass casualties was just the type of press they did not need. They were attempting to rebuild the demon image inside of America, trying to show them that demons were not the villains society had made them out to be. Echo dragged Flo back inside of the safety of the ATS's building. "Get out of the way!" Echo yelled at a human, wondering if she should find Samurai.
It seemed that there was no need to find anyone, they came to them. "Echo, what's going on?" Hawk asked and Echo glowered,
rolling her eyes. "Flo was having trouble making sense of up and down so I thought I'd sit her on the side." Gwenyth went to get Samurai, perhaps wondering if there was something wrong with Flo's lungs. "Focus on something, think of your most precious desire." Echo said, kneeling in front of her friend so that she would look at her."Think of what you want most in the world. Now, once you can picture it, imagine your desire. Think of it as another object, you can never have your most precious desire if you give into that blood lust. Now, take that lust, lock it in a box and store it in the back of your mind. It'll always be there, niggling, but you can never give into it if you want that precious desire to come true."
Samurai found them eventually and Echo let him take it from there since Haw was nagging her about getting to bed on time."Night," Echo gave a wave and off she went to tuck into bed. Tomorrow was another big day of physical therapy and perhaps some fighting time if the PT woman thought that Echo could handle it.
