"I had a friend named Edward. We went to the police academy together, and we worked together a lot. Edward was a rising star really... I was just the tag-along behind him," Ivan starts as he pours some of the powdered creamer and sugar packets into his coffee. He never lifts his eyes from the task. "We got a call, and when we got there, there was this fey harassing a woman. We... couldn't believe what we were seeing at first... but it was... supernatural. There's no mistaking that."

He pauses to stir the contents of his mug, buying for a little more time to figure out how to relay what happened next. "The fey saw Edward, panicked, and then held the woman hostage. Edward tried to free her... The fey didn't notice me, and I-I... got scared. I didn't know what was going on or what to do." So, he ended up doing nothing and regrets it to this day. Ivan bows his head to obscure more of his face behind his wispy blond bangs and speaks more softly. "The fey killed the woman with Edward's gun and took Edward somewhere."

But the meekness Ivan shows evaporates as he grips his mug. Hard. His eyes meet Karrin's with a fire that's out of place for the quiet young man. "The official record says that Edward killed the woman and ran, but he didn't! I don't know where he is right now, but he's not a murderer!"

Karrin put a hand on his shoulder. "Not everyone will believe you, even in SI," she warns him, "but some of us will. I lost my command because I disappeared during an ongoing investigation. Rescuing a kidnapped girl from faerieland wasn't something I could put in my report."

The official reports will often say things that aren't true when it comes to SI cases. "I'll be honest, it's awfully hard to clear names when we can't offer an alternate culprit."

She might not be able to help. She won't promise anything she doesn't know she can deliver. But Karrin knows she might be the first person who doesn't greet the revelation with skepticism.

And just like that, the fire dims and smothers out like a thick, dark blanket has been drawn over him. His shoulders sag, and he drops his gaze back towards the floor. He's not in the SI or even law enforcement for his own benefit and career anymore. He has a mission he'll do just about anything to see through. What happens after, Ivan has no idea. He'll worry about that if--when he finally rescues Edward. Someday he may be harboring a fugitive of the law because he can't think of another option.

But perhaps this is the first time, Ivan doesn't feel completely alone, not to be completely disregarded and thought as crazy for his goal.

"I know..." Ivan says, lowering his voice again as if one of their superiors could hear. "But, I can't just leave Edward in the hands of that fey... I have to do something. I'll sacrifice my life if it means he'll be free from him."

"First things first. We'll need to get a clear description of whatever Sidhe you saw into the hands of someone a lot more knowledgeable than I am. We'll do this off the books, no city funding, but I can throw in a little money toward our consultant's fees. I'll give him a call and come with you if you'd like." Harry's the best friend Karrin has, but she really does hate asking him to work for free. She knows he barely manages to pay his bills every month.

"Then, you should keep training with less conventional weapons. Simple is better if we're talking about the supernatural. Steel is perfect for what you're looking for. Be careful around the station, because it isn't going to do you any favors with the rest of the force. It's worth it." She meant it when she said he ought to train at the dojo. Karrin has a feeling Ivan will fit in a lot better there than he seems to in the precinct, and it would be good for him. It's one of Karrin's favorite places. She can tell when she has that in common with someone.

"And Karelin?" Karrin waits to make sure he looks her in the eye, at least for a moment, before she continues, "Being willing to do anything necessary is good in a lot of ways, but don't be so quick to offer up your own life."

makes up some kind of fae 8|;;

"I have some money in savings." He doesn't outright say it as Ivan's not sure just how much a consultant of this nature actually costs, but he doesn't want to burden Karrin with part of a bill. Ivan's not rich, however. Who is in his position?

He slumps into his hair with the coffee mug between his hands. He sees the look in her eyes and frowns. "I owe him a lot. I wouldn't be where I am now without him," he admits. Edward had been his only true friend at the Academy. They did so much together, and how does Ivan repay him? By going unnoticed and unable to help when Edward needed him the most. There's an emptiness in Ivan's life without him by his side. They are supposed to be a team. Not like this.

"I'll go to the dojo and practice more. I want to be ready when I come across it again. The fae moved like smoke, but it was able to pick up a gun and fire it. Can they even do that?" A gun isn't pure iron, so perhaps it doesn't hurt it as much, but it's metal.
