"She doesn't have any bloodlust... I don't suppose you happen to see her with an axe, or cooter punching Alanna have you?"A look of disbelief spreads over Booth's face from his corner. "The girl freaks out at almost ever occasion, she has tried to beat me to death, that doesn't seem at all weird to you does it Will? She destroyed a man's skull with an axe all the while screaming beastman war shouts"Booth turns his look to Trouble, a combination of fondness and a little fear on his face, "You do realize she has been getting edgier over the last few months right? I don't suppose this is a puberty thing is it? If it is I can get you more hornwort or whatever it is you are calling it."

Will looks at Cesta, and his eyes just show how tired he is. He takes a moment, gathers his thoughts, and says, "The universe is not revolving around you Cesta. I was referring to the gods of Chaos, who also manipulate my people, body, mind, and soul. I'm sure your people did manipulate everyone they enslaved, but my people are probably far more marked by Chaos' intrusions than elven meddling. Bloodlust is a favored trait for most of the gods. If something can be done, it would be nice to know how it's done. Trouble and I can work with our bloodlust, but there are many Beastmen that have it much worse, making it impossible for them to work even with our own people, driving them to chaos."
He then looks at Booth, "I guess a pack of small Beastmen children would look like a marauding army to you, then. She does have bloodlust, but it's not that bad. it only kicks in when she's fighting. You? You just said rude things to her. She retaliated as most Beastmen children would."

Trouble watches will and gives him a huge smile full of sunshine and love, as Boothe speaks she turns to look at him and sticks a small pink tongue at him with a raspberry sound
"You are just a scaredy cat Boothe, that should be your name. Scaredy Cat Boothe" A huge grin cracks her face as she begins to make a song out of the the name Scaredy Cat Booth.
- Trouble Meanwhile Ezelle moves herself and the dog away from the growing tension between the Beastman and the Altharin. A long habit of avoiding being in the middle of a dispute is evident as she sits at the table with the Captain. She ducks her head to him and leans over whispering something in the Captain's ear.

Cesta takes a breath, places his hands on the table and visibly relaxes.
"You are correct Will and I apologize, the situation here is very different from what was my normal for a very long time and I sometimes forget. You are also correct that the Warp Lords and the warp itself have probably a larger influence as well. Even with that though there are things that can be done to minimize or reduce it in pure blooded persons."Cesta's eyes glance over at Trouble,
"The worrisome issues that come up is when you mix the races. It isn't bad at all, but it can make it harder to work on any racial tendencies. I suspect she has a lower bloodlust then you at least until she hits puberty, but it would be harder to affect hers with the genetic mix."
Cesta's attention rests back on Will,
"I would like to help you if you are amenable to that. Both you and Illiana could both at least get your bloodlust reduced. The same way I am sure we can repair the damage done to Illiana and her forms."

The large cat woman goes quiet and stands rigged while Will and the elf speak. She deliberately sets the knife down she was using and goes to the sink to rinse something. She speaks focused on her hands in the sink. "Will I think I'd like to try some of your hornweed." She takes a deep breath and her shoulders rise and fall before she turns around to look at Cesta. "I guess prejudices run in both directions. Yes I would like your help. I will also say I think that it's going to take a long time to over write things that after thousands of years have become instinct. I will for my part try my best. But I will also defend what I see as mine with my life and violently if necessary." She smiles huge and wide. She shakes like she's throwing water from her coat. "Did you say I had warp taint inside me? How can we get it out and how quickly?"

Will smiles, and says, "I will smoke with you after dinner. Some folks don't like the smell. Don't plan on doing anything for a couple of hours after, if you haven't tried it before." He chuckles.

"First time. Its cool though, I live a good post dinner nap. Any other side effects?"

Will nods, "No serious side effects. I like to do it in the evenings, because it helps me sleep a bit better. Doesn't stop my dreams, but you can't have everything. It can make you drowsy if you do too much. Mostly it just mellows you out. It's not even really addictive. I don't know why it's considered contraband on every other world."

(catching up here.) Damien looks up from his hand computer and nods in friendly greeting to everyone as they come in. He sits back at the table near Cesta and stubs out his spent cigarette in an ashtray, then takes another drink of his coffee.
He listens to the various discussions with interest, while watching Illiana's food prep... at least until Ezelle comes in. He glances at her from time to time while checking something on his hand terminal. He sets it on the table and absentmindedly lights up another cigarette, pondering.

Trouble looks up at Will while continuing to stir the cheese as it melts, her face becoming a little more serious.
"Can we talk later about the dreams dad? Does it help with them?"
- Trouble Ezelle notices Damien looking at her, she shifts in her seat, her small tail flicking around her waist to sit on her lap. Her tattoos start to shift a little as she stares at him, a small smile on her face. "Can I help you Damien, do you have a question, or do you need anything else?"She shakes her head slightly, her hair shifting revealing one of her demonic shaped horns. Ezelle |

Cesta looks over at the feline girl, a reassuring look on his face, "You aren't tainted like you are worried about. If you were, you would be dead. It is more of a corruption in a non-warp way of your genetics. I do think we can fix it, although it might be painful and there may be temporary side effects. I couldn't tell you what those were until we did more testing. Maybe tomorrow morning if the captain allows we can use the medical facilities and see what we can do and how fast it will take. I am definitely sure though with the blood test that it can be fixed."

Illiana walks to the fridge and pulls a few slabs of meat out. She gets out a new cutting board and lays them on it and begins slicing them into thickish pieces. She glances up at Ezelle and her eyebrows knit. She shoots a quick look at Damion the back to the shorter woman. "Everything okay?"

Illiana's head snaps to Cesta. "Side effects?! Like what kind?! Im not going to go blind or loose my hair or anything am I?" She looks worried and goes about cutting the meat in a distracted sort of way that may lend itself to loosing a finger.

Cesta makes a reassuring gesture with his hand. Not like that, nothing permanent and probably nothing more than a kicking up of your instincts for a short term. You naturally heal and I just need to get your system to recognize the damage"

"Hmm?" He says as he looks up from his terminal and glances at both Ezelle and Illiana. "No, not at the moment, thank you." He takes a drag of his cigarette, then continues. "Something Cesta and I were discussing before all of you came in. I've come across maps like he describes. No one could make heads or tails of them and now I know they need a key." He nods at Ezelle's shifting patterns/symbols. "I'm looking up to see if I can come across some similar patterns or symbols that might indicate which of these maps that I've seen, you may be a key to." He shakes his head in wonder. "Incredible that they would use a living key for such things."
