Plot: Lambeth Territory Claim by Daybreak
Areas: Lambeth and surrounding areas!
The fae may have taken Croydon from Daybreak, but Daybreak is out to prove it is still strong -- and one Daybreak witch in particular is hoping to prove that he is the man to turn them around from the loss. Gilbert Norrell plans to bring order to the lawless territory of Lambeth, via less than pleasant means. He intends to drive out any troublemakers, anyone who disagrees with Daybreak, or have them persuaded by members of Hillingdon. Unfortunately for him, it won't be quite as easy as all that...
[ ooc; log for the Daybreak territory claim! You can give me a ping if you want to be involved and hadn't signed up already! It runs through the entire week, starting off quietly and subtly until the disappearances begin to be noticed and the fight back intensifies. Thread as little or as much as you like, start your own thread or tag what I put up for Norrell! (And sorry it's up a little late!) ]

Sorry Simon, you've probably heard that way too many times."Let's take care of this, then we'll get you home," she pats the side of his neck and hovers her other hand over his injured leg. After some muttered healing words and furrowing of her brow, the magic does what she wills it to do-- and it leaves her with a fresh bloody nose. That might be the last one she has in her, she's swaying on her knees once she's done.

The cut on Simon's legs closes instantly, leaving a smudge of dried blood on his fur. It still feels bruised and battered, but he can put all his weight on it again and that's a relief. He shows his thanks the best way he's able at the moment: by thumping his tail on the ground and licking her hand.
Which is actually a little gross and awkward, when he thinks about it...so he tries not to.
The witch is obviously spent. She sways alarmingly and he quickly moves to steady her. She can't pass out now, not when they're still mopping up pockets of resistance and she hasn't even gotten Simon back to his clothes yet.
He whines, trying to impress upon her the urgency of the situation.
Let's go.

He wags his tail and starts walking at an easy pace, turning towards the girl to make sure she's still following. He does this several times more as he leads her back towards the building they had used as an impromptu staging area when this whole nightmare began.
Simon doesn't stop until he's inside and standing next to a neat little bundle of clothes. He wags his tail again and starts rooting through it for his glasses and mobile phone.

"Hey!" Elizabeth hurries over to the pile of clothes. "I'm pretty sure that's not for you. Is that your master's--"
...definitely not a master's jacket. That's some men's underwear in there.
Elizabeth stares at the dog for a moment, her face frozen in horrified understanding.

Simon wants to get changed and he's reasonably certain she knows what he is now, but...
Oh, what the hell. He needs to be human anyway. Might as well throw away his dignity and do it here.
He has the good sense, at least, to grab the underwear first and drag it to a mostly shady corner where he hopes he'll get some semblance of privacy. Really. Is voyeurism an American trait?
The dog's body blurs and lengthens, fur retreating into skin, and resolves into a lanky young man.
Who is completely naked.
He quickly turns his back to the wall and dons his boxers as fast as physically possible before making his unsteady way back to the rest of the clothes pile. He squints at it myopically and then over to the girl.
"Sorry about all that. I really am." He looks back down on the ground. "Can you see my glasses in all that? I can't see for shit in the dark."
no subject
...oh God is he coming back to his clothes? Oh God. Of course he's coming back for his clothes, where else would he go?!
"I-- uh, wait, hold on--" Slowly, she lowers herself down, back still to him, and reaches behind herself to awkwardly pat at his clothes, looking for the glasses. Finally she finds them under a... shirt?-- and holds them out with her head turned the other way.
"No, I should be sorry, I shouldn't have talked to you like that, that was... incredibly demeaning, I honestly thought you were a dog."
no subject
He smiles sheepishly when she tries to apologize. "I was a dog," he points out. "And you reacted just like any..." Animal lover? That sounded wrong. "...decent person would. It's not your fault I'm a shifter. And I really do appreciate the help. If you hadn't healed me...I wouldn't have been able to get back here, much less home."
