Scorp is DEAD pass it on

Tabu swallowed a lump in his throat and his eyes watered up at the sight of his scars, as well as from the acceptance of his apology. He knew that however he got them left him torn apart, for who knows how long. He glanced down at the white scars, and Eros' pained expression, then lifted his chin up, taking his eyes off of his arm while he gently slid his hand over them.

Tabu carefully climbed on to the bed, laying down beside him and watching him sleep. He traced the features of his face with his eyes countless times, fiddling with pieces of his hair lightly while he listened for any footsteps coming down the hall, ready to guard the door in case any one wanted to wake him up. Vinny greeted Gate at the door and thanked him for his breakfast, then took some of the fish out of his hands to take to the fridge. He eyed the plants, hoping Gate didn't intend to make him eat them. "How long has Eros been staying here Gate?"

Vinny looked confused, still holding one of the fish. "Heartache troubles, what do you mean?" He looked between both of them, waiting to be let in on the secret conversation they seemed to be having. And what was wrong with him spending time with Tabu? The two of them got along perfectly when they were first introduced, perfect unrelated uncle-nephew relationship.

Vinny stood there dumbstruck for a moment, everyone in the room could feel sudden aura change eminating from Vinny in an instant, know this wasn't going to go very well. His eye twitched just a bit and he squeezed the fish hard enough to make it snap on accident. "...what.." It was hard enough to see just one of his sons in the arms of an overly buff tideborn but now TWO?! AND EROS?! He was practically family! There's no way Scorpion would have approved of this and Vinny knew that all too well, and not just because of Eros' close ties to them. Eros would be putty in Tabu's hands, to say it was a dangerous combination was an understatement, he couldn't let his dear friend be manipulated by his entitled son, at least not with the way he is now.

Vinny sat, hands still in the same position as if he was clawing at the fish. "....Why did no one tell me.."
Tabu jumped and pulled his hand away from Eros' face when he heard the knock, bolting up quietly and tip toeing to the door quickly, opening it just a bit to see who it was. He was relieved to see it was just Khaba, unlike his other brother he wouldn't blab to the world or make a scene like his father. "What is it, Eros is sleeping." He smoke quietly.

Tabu closed the door a little bit out of instinct but opened it up again, realizing he was being a bit too overprotective. His fins pinned back as well, he knew it was only a matter of time before Horus blew it, but he hoped it would be at a much less inconvenient time. "...He will be..He isn't in the best state right now but, he's sleeping so that's a good sign."

"No it's alright. I'll get him food myself when he's ready for it." Tabu was used to being waited on hand and foot but insisted on taking care of Eros himself, feeling obligated, but also just wanting to to make up for past mistakes even further. "As for Horus, i'm not mad."

Tabu struggled a bit and made a face, much like any close siblings would in a close hug. "Alright alright go." He shooed him off quietly and ruffled his hair a little bit before quietly going back inside the room to wait for Eros to wake.
As soon as Khaba got down the stairs Vinny stood. "Well??"

Vinny sighed a bit in relief, but still isn't entirely on board with the idea. He looked up the stairs for a moment, thinking about his son and how he actually has changed a bit from his former self, then whipped his head around before Gate could throw the remains of the fish away. "I was gonna eat that."

Vinny picked at the raw fish, feeling more hungry after tasting it. He glanced at Horus, noting his slightly drooped fins, it wasn't hard, they were unmistakable. "He'll be here soon. It's not like him to stay away for too long."

Vinny sighed a little and got up, taking his plate to the sink. "I'll be outside." He stayed true to this, stepping out the back yard and walking through the marshy grass, headed straight for the lake. He sat with his elbows on his knees, his chin rested on them and listened carefully, wondering when Vince would arrive.

Vinny huffed and stared at the movement angrily. If it was indeed the fish he wouldn't hesitate in killing it this time. He watched the water move carefully, going a bit more on guard.
Tabu walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, getting a glass of water ready for Eros when he woke up. He stopped by Horus, taking note of the look on his face. "Whats the matter"

"Yes i'm alright but who was that??? Your guest is very rude!" He pouted and sneered at the tideborn watching from under the water, brushing off any scales that stuck to his skin. Tabu ran after Gate with his brothers close behind, almost in a panic having seen the creature before Gate scared it away. "Is everything alright?!"
