     he’s mulled over this since his exchange with stella.  it’s being eating at him like a bunch of fucking rats picking at his skin.  how does he address the heart to him  ?  presenting it is a bad idea.  all bad.  he knows this  ,  way too well.  can play rudi’s actions in his head like a movie  ;  trying to destroy it.  in way maybe it’s cruel in a way to not let him act on his impulse  ,  keep him alive.  but who ever said tyler wasn’t ever cruel or selfish  ?   “   hey  ,  i need you to level with me for a second.  just listen to me.  can you do that  ,  rudi  ?   ”

virtue respects that he CARES for his daughter, and she understands his fears. if someone had tried to tell her how to raise april and buck, she would have needed a lot of convincing too. though she does have to struggle not to snort when he mentions the wolves, as if his threats mean anything to HER.

                        “you’re more than welcome to WATCH the lessons.. i’m just                          going to be teaching her how to handle her abilities, and trying                          to make sure that should she NEED to. she could.. somewhat                          cloak her CONNECTION to you. not permanently, but long                                                          enough to escape.”

she pauses and then tries to THINK how to phrase what she wants to say next, she always wants to seem very GROWN up and calculated around rudi. simply because she wants him to KNOW she’s taking this whole thing seriously.

                       “i um... i also wanted to THROW her a party...”
