Freya presses her lips together at his response. All the responses, actually.

"What he means is, just give me a chance."

Mae doesn't look at Freya.

"I know what he means."

Seth whips a hand down, rapidly increasing Silas' gravity again.

This time, he doesn't let up, pushing him harder and harder into the floor.

"Your attitude is unbecoming. Fix it."

"You don't...need their permission..." He doesn't bother to keep it in his thoughts only as he tries to push himself up!

Freya's not sure what to focus on but she looks from her mother to her father.

"What's your answer, then?"

Mae remains quiet, despite the fact she wants to shoot the idea down again.

"No? She could just leave, like you did?"

Seth gets down to a knee to be more on Silas' level.

"You want her to turn out like you did?"

He slowly shakes his head.

"...no, I didn't think so."

He stands again, not letting up the gravity to turn to Freya.

"You may remain here, at Paradigm. However."

He holds up a finger.

"Consider this a probationary period. The moment I hear anything that displeases me about either your behavior or your safety, I will come fetch you myself. I expect you to keep in contact with me daily."

Silas clenches his jaw, continually trying to push himself up out of stubbornness rather than any real expectation of overpower his father's ability.

Freya's eyes light up the moment her father allows up. So much so that she almost doesn't care about the rest of the conditions. Check in? Sure. It'd be like having a cell phone but it's just in your head.

"Thank you!" she says smiling widely! But it falters as she remembers her brother.

'Apologize to mother...you know that's all you need to do.'

Mae shows no sign of any feelings towards the decision.

"In return, you will also have to act as a replacement for Tamara. This will involve keeping me updated on both Paradigm's happenings as well as those of the city around you."

He doesn't look at Silas.

"Of course, father." she nods, walking up to hug him! If he was in a better mood enough to allow it.

'Why?'

Seth is always in the mood to hug his little girl.

And increase the gravity further on his stubborn son.

Silas is flattened! He doesn't respond to his sister as he continues to struggle.

"...I apologize..." He whispers.

Freya would move to hug her mother. She hadn't protested, so it was a good sign from her too.

Mae would hug her back gently, though her eyes remained on Silas.

"That's enough, my love." she'd tell Seth, apparently content with that.

Seth holds it for a few more seconds, then lets the gravity return to normal.

Silas gets up slow, doing his best to avoid eye contact with the three of them as he exhales sharply.

Freya would slowly move away from her mother, looking at Silas worriedly before settling her eyes on Seth.

"Would that be all, Father?"

Please let that be the end of it.

Seth nods at her.

"For you, Freya, it is."

His gaze wanders towards Silas.

"You, however, have a decision to make concerning how you will live your life from now on. There will be no second chances, so consider this visit your first and only warning. Do you understand me, Silas?"

"What exactly are you reprimanding me here for? What is it you expect of me, father?" It sounds more pleading and less challenging than he wished it did.

Seth frowns at him.

"Were you not listening to me, beforehand? Your disrespectful attitude towards myself and your mother, your hostile and entitled nature at this academy, your lack of accomplishments here, your childish attempts to compete with me which resulted in the death of one of my earliest acquaintances and an assault on your sister..."

A sigh escapes his lips. It was times like these that Seth wished he still smoked.

"I tire of repeating myself, Silas. If you cannot be bothered to even pay attention, then there is no point in this conversation continuing."

"How can you hold me accountable for doing as you do!" He shouts back!

"You acted the same when I was your age! And listen to your words even now. 'Your earliest acquaintance.' You used her affections for you for your benefit. How is that any different than what I did? What's the difference, Dad?"

"Do you need me to explain it to you, as if you were a child?"

Seth does not like that shouting tone one bit.

"I learned from those around me, and overcame every challenge that I could find. I defeated every opponent who could conceivably be a challenge. I did not drift among others aimlessly, as you have."

He glances towards Mae for a moment, as if contemplating what to say, before continuing.

"Tamara's devotion was something I actively cultivated, yes, and she did grow into someone I could rely on. Yet, you did not even have the decency to form your own bond with her, instead you piggybacked on mine to accomplish... what, exactly? Did she tell you information on meta's around the world? Did she find and protect you against other potential psychics, and teach you how to defend yourself?"

He shakes his head.

"No. You used her the same as any other... lesser man would, to satisfy your urges."

Silas' lips tighten, wanting to protest every sentence but he doesn't. Today was not the day he'd be able to find the loopholes in his father's logic. He was too smart. More importantly today, he was also absolutely right.

He looks away again, having been shamed.

As usual when discussing Tamara and how devotion to Seth, Mae would look somewhat annoyed. However, it was slowly turning to anger.

"What is this about using her?" she asks Seth, having missed something here. "For these urges..."

Freya just stares at the ground.

"Tamara is dead, Mae. You need not worry about that any longer."

He says, turning his head towards her.

"It's not as if Silas has been scarred for life by his time with his babysitter."
