Fancy seeing you here. Still the runt and prude, I see. smirks as his newest fling hangs off of him
I walk in, eyes meeting Preston’s
Well, well, if it isn't little Miss Priss herself. What brings you back into my orbit?
I heard you were causing trouble again
Trouble? Me? Always. But this time, I might have bitten off more than I can chew.
It seems I've gotten on the wrong side of one of the Elders. They're threatening to revoke my membership in the pack.
Apparently, I've been hosting unauthorized parties at the pack house, and they claim I'm disrespecting our traditions.
narrows his eyes Yeah, but so what? Life's too short to follow all the damn rules.
pauses, considering Well, actually... If you have any influence with the Elders, I could sure use a favor.
leans in closer Good. Because this could be the end of me if I don't find a way to smooth things over.
I’ll talk to them, but you better not cause more trouble till then
grins slyly Deal. I'll behave... for now. But you know me, Cutiece.
I do. I’ll go talk to them now
leans back, watching Cutiece leave Alright, let's see if this little reprieve will buy me some time.
I approach the elders hello, I’m here on behalf of Preston
Ah, Cutiece. He must be in quite a pickle. What does he seek from us now?
he wants to apologize and is willing to change his ways
narrows eyes Apologies, you say? And what makes you think he's sincere this time?
because this affects us all if he’s banished
sighs heavily Very well. We shall hear him out. Bring him here tomorrow and we shall discuss his fate as a member of the pack.
thank you, I’ll let him know
The next day, Preston is summoned to meet with the Elders to discuss his fate. He realizes the gravity of the situation and decides to change his ways
Preston, the elders have agreed to hear you out. Be sincere
takes a deep breath Thank you for giving me this chance. I realize I've let the pack down, and I'm truly sorry.
start from the beginning, be honest
looks around the room, genuinely remorseful You see, I never meant to cause so much trouble.
then explain what led to this point
sighs heavily It all started when I lost my parents in a tragic accident. I was devastated, and I turned to alcohol and reckless behavior.
