Sam Evans

DIEGO: ugh she's a niGHTMARE

DIEGO: u try and keep a gal safe and this is how she repays u

DIEGO: uh pretty sure they are

DIEGO: bec's just overall better than aubrey so that's probs it

DIEGO: i'd make a great iron man, i make great financial decisions

Sam: idk what else I can tell her that'd make her stay away.

Sam: I don't think they are. You can say what you want about Aubrey but he's been one of my best friends since I can remember, friend break ups suck but I don't think to the level that you feel physical pain.

DIEGO: ok but thats ur loss

DIEGO: ugh i asked her to stay away from aubrey too

DIEGO: he has no right to put her in danger like that

DIEGO: we better. friend break ups are worse than normal break ups i s2g. i feel like someone's punched a hole in my chest.

DIEGO: maybe now i get a battery thing in my heart and become iron man

Sam: I'll survive I think.

Sam: I told her Aubrey did drugs and owes dangerous people money and she didn't even react.

Sam: I know he doesn't.

Sam: As someone dealing with a friend break up I don't think that's how they're supposed to make you feel, dude.

DIEGO: idk. cuddles and blowjobs, probably.

DIEGO: i know i'm right

DIEGO: and she needs to stay the fuck away from aubrey especially

DIEGO: i hate doing this to her but i have to keep her safe. i can't breathe when i think about her getting hurt.

Sam: I'll pass.

Sam: I think keeping her away from Aubrey is gonna be a lot harder than it should be. He won't stay away from her, I tried talking to him.

AUBREY: uh no, you're making a real and concrete impact on her mental health because of the slim possibility that she might get hurt or die. there's no guarantee. dropping her does not make you the good guys in this scenario, no matter what bullshit you tell yourself.

AUBREY: the dragons haven't even gone after humans like... you're just making this giant fake risk like there's a gun to her head and there isn't

AUBREY: fun. low blow. definitely inaccurate. but i wouldn't expect you to understand. running and hiding, that's what you, diego and kurt are good at, right? at least i give bec choices.

Sam: Slim? It's not a slim possibility, Aubrey, it's pretty much a guarantee.

Sam: They'll go after anyone they think is in their way and Diego isn't exactly their biggest supporter now, if they find out she was close with him? She's done for, I know you think the dragons can't do a damn thing wrong but they WILL and you hanging around her only makes that chance stronger.

Bec: Like...I feel really angry, don't get me wrong.

Bec: But mostly I'm just sad. I feel so empty without him. I don't think you're supposed to feel like that when someone treats you like actual shit.

Sam: I think you being angry is understandable.

Bec: I don't think I could be more hurt than I am now.

Bec: Being away from Diego is more than weird, it just...feels wrong.

Bec: He's supposed to be my best friend. And then he pulls this.

Sam: What do you mean it feels wrong?

AUBREY: oh well good for him. maybe he can go grovel to the claringtons next :)

AUBREY: yeah at the expense of her mental health? and her agency as her own person? yeah good job

AUBREY: nothing you have is working against dragons either evidently, and yet you're all still frolicking around town so what is your point? bec might get hit by a car tomorrow or have an aneurism, that doesn't mean we should chain her to an ER

AUBREY: okay great chat, i'm still going to be her friend

Sam: Yeah, cause those two things add up perfectly.

Sam: It's that or make it at the expense of her actual life, so.

Sam: We aren't as vulnerable as a human is, Aubrey. The chances of that happening are nothing compared to the chances that being involved with the NW will get her killed.

AUBREY: yeah but i guess he's got as much spine as a jellyfish so

AUBREY: what and suddenly dropping her like a hot potato and leaving her alone and confused won't? she's a journalist, i'm sure it'll set off some kind of bullshit metre.

AUBREY: uh yeah she could: silver bullets, iron bullets, a witch could make her protective charms, it gives her a billion more options

AUBREY: if any of you actually cared about her, you'd let her make her own choices and trust that she'd make the right ones instead of treating her like some idiot kid

Sam: I think it takes more spine to walk away from something thats wrong than it does to stick with it, he has the guts to and he has the brains to know.

Sam: Cutting off contact with her has a better chance at making her seem like just another human than continuing to hang around her.

Sam: She'd have to learn to use all those things first, and last I checked none of those would work against dragons.

Kurt: because you're amazing

AUBREY: of /course/ you've teamed up with diego, ugh

AUBREY: she lives in NEW ORLEANS... like it or not, she's involved. even if i ignore her, that's not going to stop some vamp from turning her into dinner. she'll always be at risk anyways.

AUBREY: hey maybe if someone TOLD HER she could defend herself, just a thought, an idea, a mere suggestion

AUBREY: and i'm telling this as YOUR friend, it's not your decision. it's hers. she's a big girl who can make her own choices.

Sam: You had absolutely no problem doing it when he was team dragon.

Sam: She'll be at no more risk than any other human in the city. Hanging around a bunch of shifters puts her pretty high on the humans the NW notices list.

Sam: No one can tell her, Aubrey, and no, telling her wouldn't help her defend herself. She's HUMAN. She doesn't have the luxury of magic powers or changing into an animal.

Kurt: Yes it is.

Kurt: Its been a long few months and literally everything has changed and my whole life fell apart several times and toure still here and that's a big deal.

AUBREY: yeah don't

AUBREY: she's the one who approached /me/

AUBREY: it's not like a sought her out or something

AUBREY: besides, if she wants to be my friends, i'm not going to stop her. it's not like i have a lot of options right now and i'm sick of playing scrabble with my mom every night.

Sam: I'm not.

Sam: She doesn't know anything, Aubrey, the whole reason Diego stopped talking to her was to get her away from the NW. It's not even safe for members of the NW right now, shes human, she has no business getting anymore involved in this than she already is, especially not when she doesn't even KNOW.

Sam: You may not have sought her out but just by willingly talking to her you're putting her at risk and she can't defend herself.

AUBREY: uh okay you're telling me who i can and can't be friends with now?

Sam: If I thought telling you what to do would work you'd be hearing a lot more "Aubrey ditch the dragons" speeches from me but I'm not gonna waste my breath.

Bec: Okay what the hell do you all know that I don't?

Sam: Aubrey is my best friend and he's just.. Not in the best mindset right now. He's... Using drugs.

Sam: Using drugs and hanging around some dangerous people.

Sam: I think he owes them money.

Sam: If they see you hanging around him they may think a good way to get him to pay up is to go through you.

AUBREY: that's good

Bec: He just said he outgrew me, which sounds like bull.

Bec: And then he just messaged me to try and order me not to hang out with Aubrey.

Bec: The nerve, am I right?

Sam: You shouldn't hang out with Aubrey.

Kurt: God, you're amazing.
