This is more than acceptable. I will need to look into the potential trainers, but this would be for the best. People with field experience are ore likely to know how to handle his recklessness than a party neither of us has any proper contact with.
Let me know when you've decided on one. There might be some bias within the team for what happened, but I can't imagine any of them would deny a request to help Niko. If it does prove to be too severe, then we can look at outside options.
[as much as he hates the idea of that, though archie doubts it'll come to it. besides, there's plenty of other imports he trusts with it.]
Are you going to tell me what happened? I haven't pressed Niko beyond anything he wanted to tell me without prompting, for obvious reasons.
[ Archer paused, and then a break in his calm facade was seen. He crossed his hands in front of himself and took a deep breath, placing his head down on them. ]
The creature froze him in his tracks after he had gotten too close to it. Bodhi and I attempted to intervene, but the creature caused me to freeze as well. It advanced before I could recover from the auditory attack, and it engulfed Nikolai. [ He shook his head. ] I have no doubts that his fans [ he said the word like it were a curse. ] have all of the footage available on the internet.
Once the creature was killed, Bodhi and I confirmed Nikolai's death. [ His master's legacy, dead in his arms. ] As he and another man took Nikolai, kept the onlookers from taking too much footage of his body. From there on you would know more than I.
[ He sat up straight once more and pulled an envelope from the inside of his jacket. He slides it across to Archie. ] You are of course free to have another lawyer look it over, but if you sign these papers you will make it easier for me to make claims against the videos and to work with the various streaming sites to automatically delete the footage should someone upload it. I have made it so that it is specific to just the footage of this event, and nothing else.
I can do it without your help, but it will take far, far longer, as without the aid of Nikolai's legal guardian I will have to specify my tactics to each site it is on.
[ There was silence for a moment, and then a sigh. ]
As for how he got too close, he got cocky. He apparently did not do any research on the creature and had gotten lucky enough in the last fight to avoid any serious harm. I had falsely assumed that he knew what he was doing and did not realise just how much danger he was in until it was too late to inform him otherwise. [ There is, oddly enough, some shame in his voice. ]
Let us pray that between the two of us we can keep a teenage boy alive.
[ He then shook his head. ]
Nothing else. I will start to fill out the appropriate forms for removal of the videos. Should you get back to me within a day's time I will be able to have the videos down by the end of the week.

Re: >action
[he does know what happened after that and SUPER DOESN'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT. archie leans back, crossing his arms.]
You gonna tell me how he got too close in the first place?

Re: >action
[because he absolutely is going to do that.]
Seems you don't know him as well as you think you do, then.
Re: >action
Since he left to go on his journey he has changed a great deal. I had underestimated the level of recklessness. It is not an error I will make again.
Re: >action
[leaning back, he crosses his arms.]
Anythin' else?
