Dan cried out as she fell to the side. "There's... something wrong with his head," she called after Bee through gritted teeth. She slowly started to stand, but she couldn't keep up with Bee.

Then suddenly a very sick Cong appeared in Bee's path. "Please... stay awhile longer," he asked Bee. He was leaning against the wall for support; he wasn't much of a blockade as he started coughing.

Bee ignored Dan and bowed slightly to Cong, "Please continue to care for her father." then swiftly headed out the door.

Cong gave Bee a "you've got to be kidding" look as he continued to lean on the wall for support. When Dan caught up to Cong, the helped each other outside.

As Bee neared the Juttle, Raven was running to intercept Bee. Apparently he had been near enough to hear the commotion.

Like Raven had done to her earlier, Bee ignored his presence and continued towards the Juttle undaunted.

Raven came to a sliding halt between Bee and the Juttle. "This won't fix anything!" he declared angrily. "The only way to come out of this unscathed is if all of us help Laurel make up her own damn mind, not betray her!"

"All of... us?! You're too busy moping to yourself to help anyone!" Bee demanded just as angrily, "You exclaimed that you couldn't help so get of my way, you bastard." she spat at him.

"No," Raven snarled angrily, with a hint of some old pain. "I'm in charge, and she stays. So get her back inside!"

"Says who?!" Bee shouted, "You gave up leadership when you gave up on helping Laurel!" She stood her ground firmly as she clutched Laurel tighter.

Raven cussed a little. "Crust, when the terra did I say I was giving up?!" he demanded. "Wolfe put me in charge, so go put her back now."

"NO! I won't!" Bee retorted angrily, "You said you have no right to interfere, so don't! You said you couldn't help so leave us alone!" she spat back, there were some tears forming but her eyes remained angry.

"I have every right to stop you!" Raven retorted. "And I will by any means necessary."

"Why?" Bee demanded, "Why do you suddenly care again?!" She took in a sharp breath, "The minute I put her back you're going to go back to moping and I can't handle this by myself!" she suddenly shouted before gasping a little at the words she had let come out. She glanced away from Raven.

"That's why I didn't come here alone!" Raven shouted back. "I swear, you women are impossible!"

Bee slowly turned her gaze back to Raven, eyes furious once more. Apparently, that had been the wrong thing to say. "Bastard." she said coldly, "What gives you the right... to criticize me?" she demanded in a low, frigid voice.

Dan let out a deep sigh. This fight could go on all day.

"Women let their emotions overwhelm them and then they take it upon themselves to do rash things by themselves!" Raven explained.

"... Smooth talker," Cong noted before coughing again.

"... I'll get you back inside," Dan decided as she helped Cong back to bed.

Bee continued to stare at Raven coldly, "You have no right to group all women together and belittle them." she stated, voice furious. "You have no right at all you prejudice, self-worshipping piece of..." and proceeded to cuss him out viciously.
