[Belthazar is usually much more careful about what he broadcasts, but this time he doesn't care. He's in the grips of a tantrum the likes of which haven't been seen for a very long time. He's a blackish blur off the edge of the screen, ripping things off his walls and throwing furniture like it's going out of style. He's screaming but not out of any particular physical injury; it's that of sadness and anger and desperation.

He hurls a chair at the other wall and it sounds like a bone breaking. Probably a 7/10. Passable work.]

He's gone! Why is he gone!? BRING HIM BACK!!

[He's a mess of hair and glowing green eyes and rage. He slams his fist on the table just in case that last bit wasn't clear enough.]

Do you hear me, Atroma?! [His voice cracks mid-yell thanks elf puberty.] I will hunt you down! I'll dismantle you piece by piece! I'll wipe you from EXISTENCE! I'll-- I'll--

[His eyes well up and he cuts off the feed, presumably to hurl more things at the wall until he feels better.]

[He knows Adra will be waiting at home for him. He knows, but... the problem is that Belthazar doesn't want to go home. Home is a terrible place full of people who hate him and spit on him for no reason. It's full of war and sadness and death. But here, here at least, people don't really ever die, and they're almost always happy to see him, and they don't accuse him of murder, and he doesn't have to feed on their mana when he exhausts himself, and that's not even getting into the people he loves who come from wonderful worlds.

Articulating that is a problem, but he tries.]

I don't want to go home!

[Well, okay.]

[ The outburst surprises her a little, but -- the thought behind it doesn't. She's quiet for a moment, though ... and then: ]

You don't have to go home. I'm sure he'll be back again to check on you sooner or later.

[arcanepower]

[He swallows with some difficulty.]

His... his children need him, I can't...

[ino]

Can't what?

[ She's still under the assumption that any time spent here is all within a split second at home, so it's not like his kids would be alone ... ]

Besides, you're one of his children, too.
