Victor frowned as this strange man forced his way into Meg's home. He clearly lacked any form of etiquette and possessed the air of a pompous peacock strutting itself around to be admired. Quickly, Victor allowed his human form to cover his skellital frame. He readjusted his tie before stepping forward towards this proud fool.
"Excuse me, sir. But I believe the young woman said that she didn't want you here. I suggest that he turn yourself around promptly and leave before you make yourself more unwelcomed than you already are."
Victor said all of this in a calm and collected tone. What this man lacked in manners Victor would correct.

The man sniffed "Like I'm going to listen to string bean like you squirt why don't you do Megara a favor and stop wasting her time she's too good for the likes of you anyways" he said with a snort.
Megara glares a hole in the man's head before getting a mischevious smirk and makes a gesture. She gestures to her swords and makes air punches while the guy wasn't watching and air draws a skull.

Victor saw the symbol Meg had made behind the man's back. She wanted him to show his true form. Victor wasn't so sure he wanted to do that. He wasn't fully comfortable with showing his true form to humans. Then again, perhaps he could scare this man off for Meg and be done with it. It was worth a shot.
"Stringbean? Well, I will admit, I am a bit on the thin side, but I think I can handle you none the less."
As he spoke, Victor let his flesh fade away yet again and gave the man a terrible skull grin.

He was scared but he said "You monster not to worry Lady Megara i shall vanquish him for you" he said swinging a punch at Victor.
Megara was worried she had hoped he was would have going running and screaming or at LEAST died of fright. She went to try and stop the punch before he hurt Victor before she thought better.

Victor was shocked by the man's reaction. Really, who would have thought he would stand his ground and actually try to punch a skelliton? Victor responded by putting up his bony arm and catching the man's forearm in his bony grip before he could land a blow.
"I don't think so."
He said in a dead voice. However, what happened next completely caught him off guard. As he gripped the man's upper arm, he suddenly felt a rush of energy coursing through his body. It was unlike anything he had felt before. And as he watched in horrified fascination, the man before him began to age rapidly. His skin grew pale and wrinkled, his hair turned gray and then white, and his back began to double over. All the while, Victor could not let go of him. The energy pounding through his body made it impossible for him to release his grip. And then the man in front of him crumpled into a pile of dust. The rush of energy stopped and Victor merely stood still, his hand still held up and clasping the air where only a few moments ago, a young man had stood.

Megara gasped slightly not in terror but in amazement as she got close to Victor "Victor if i knew it would freak you the heck out I could kiss yo..." she said softly hoping not to spook him as he seemed in shock that his powers manifested. She could tell that he was surprised by it and had not anticipated it therefor she couldn't blame him for what happened. Heck she is thankful he did it or she would have tortured the guy before killing him.

But Victor couldn't hear what Megara was saying, only a loud ringing in his skull. He had never directly taken a life, never actually killed someone. And now, with just the touch of his hand, he had stolen the life of someone. He shot a look at Meg. And then he turned and bolted from her home. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him, desperately trying to outrun the truth of what he had done. But there was no way to outrun this. And as he ran, his form changed again, not into a skelliton or a young man, but into that of a little boy. He would have continued running if his foot had not caught on a stone and sent him falling forwards onto his hands and knees. What have I done? What have I done?! This was all that ran through his head as he stayed on the ground, desperately trying to wrap his mind around what had just transpired.

Megara spun around and took after him him in an emotional mess wasn't going to be healthy ESPECIALLY with the things that went bump in the night around here. She shifted into her tigress form and followed his scent to where he was before shifting back seeing him as a little boy.
"Victor....its Megara listen it isn't safe out here at this time especially in your form you have now let me take you back and let you get some sleep I'll clean up...just I need you to come back with me at least for a little while until you sort out your emotions alright?' she said kneeling next to him careful not to touch as most people when their like this don't need to be touch as it may set them off further. She sent a pulse out of her aura to keep most of the nastiness away til he could decide.

Victor didn't even look up as Meg approached him and spoke to him. He heard what she had to say but wasn't really attending to it. At her suggestion that he come back with her, Victor pushed away from Meg and stumbled to his feet.
"No! I can't go back there! I just can't!" He couldn't face what he had done again and what if the man's soul still lingered behind? What would Victor say to it? Victor tried to calm himself down, but it was almost impossible.
"Please, Meg, I'll be fine. Really, I will be. Nothing out her can kill me, not when I already belong to death. Just.....let me be alone."
Victor didn't want to go back with Meg for another reason. What if he touched her? Would she age and crumble away to dust too? Victor could still feel the energy of life that trummed through his body, but it made him feel sick.

"Alright Victor I'll leave you alone but just know if you need me you know where to find me remember the shadows will protect you around here." she said softly not wanting to hint that it hurt just a itsy bit that he didn't feel comfortable at her home but she understood why he felt that way.

Victor slowly got to his feet and turned to look at Meg. His small body looked as if it carried the weight of the world on its shoulders.
"I'm sorry, Meg. I know you want to help me, but this isn't something any living thing can understand."
Slowly, Victor walked away into the forest but just before the shadows wrapped around him, he turned back towards Meg.
"And Meg............thank you for the tea."
Despite everything, he was still determined to be a gentleman.

Megara watched him leave as she sent her shadows after him "Protect him keep him safe I doubt he will need it but do so" she said softly as she turns and melts into the shadows of the forest her self to go to her home when she saw the book and hugged it to her chest praying for Victor's safety in this world.
