Status Updates From The Hounding

“he saw strength there, and ferocity, and merciless resolve.”

Temperance while working give in and drinks a couple pints of ale and gets drunk. She comes out the tavern asking for Pete, John her husband let her know that Pete has been murdered. She decides to go visit Thomas. He confesses that he’s innocent and that it was Robin and he’s asking her to help him escape. Thomas finally says that he almost killed him, on top of threatening the girls. She helps him escape.

The village arrived with questions to what happened. Thomas took the fall for Robin and declared his love for Ann. There was no defense call or nothing just straight up took the blame. Robin was sobbing because he’s “become like them”, meaning violent like the rest of the town. I feel bad for him & while killing someone is hard, at least it was a no good scum of a horrible man that fell.

Pete Darling got married, during the vows, they heard dogs barking outside the church. Pete went after them, already “knowing” it was the girls. Pete followed by Robin & Richard found the girls & Thomas on the bank of the river. All the kids and his older man were alone together. He accused the girls, Thomas stood up for them, Pete & Thomas fought, Pete was strangling Thomas when Robin stabbed Pete & killed him.

Temperance is mad at her husband cause he allows Pete to continue drinking. Pete says some unpleasant things to her, so she pulls his hair & he pulls off her gloves & dips her fingers in it.
The day has come where Pete is getting married. He thinks his life is over & goes to be by the river where he sees the angel again in his dream. Temperance bites her nails with the ale on it and she enjoys the taste too much.
