We are taking our responsibility for Josh and his safety. If I let us go into lock up now, there are more dangers presented to us. A promise has been made, by Josh, by Damion and by us, we don't go into the asulym anymore. There are long involved reasons for this that I will not go into.

I'm handling this, I'm getting us to work (in a reasonable timely fashion) so that we can pay this mortgage, our bills, our car payment. Josh is safe and protected because a) we've been stripped of all weapons and b) we are no where near him. Last night was spent in serious reflection and discussion with those close to us. This morning, more discussion and more thinking. A lot has been decided.

Currently Armand is calm, currently Armand has stepped down, and has become silent. I will not allow us near Josh until a) I'm positive there is no threat or b) there is more than one person to restrain us. Although, through my dealings with Armand, and with Josh, it does appear Josh can handle his own (looking at these bruises on the body) and that Armand will never fight/attack at Josh's disadvantage, he's a man that fights fair and would only kill if looking into the other's eyes.

But once again, at the moment there is no threat.
