Prompt: Spock - "I have noted, the 'healthy' release of emotion is frequently very unhealthy for those closest to you." - 'Star Trek'
"So it seems this situation has reached a boiling point,*" I comment, hoping that my voice seems calmer than what I'm feeling. This isn't like giving teenagers a hard time, or facing Will Schuester or one of the other weakling that serve as teachers around here.
Burt Hummel had never been one to show emotion much. Even when we were teenagers he had been a quiet person. Not shy but he did tend to keep to himself. About the only time he had been known to where his emotions on his sleeves, and those emotions usually didn't bode well for the other team, especially as he had held the record for number of sacks in the league back then.
"You're damn right it has*," Burt replied, the boiling anger he felt evident in his voice. Apparently he hadn't changed much from his football days even if the subject of his devotion had. Somehow I had a feeling that his son would out do the passion he'd had for the game.
And I for one did not want to be on the opposing side of that anger. Burt Hummel might be a quiet man most of the time, but when he wanted to be heard, he made himself heard. That hadn't changed and as the conversation progressed I'm sure it became clear to Dave Karofsky and his father too.
This meeting wasn't going to end with no action being taken. I had a decision to make and I knew what side that decision was going to favor. All I needed to do was decide on the severity of it.
