It is, perhaps, for the best that this ledger is hardly ever used. We are eisbieber, and we are more than happy living lives that lack unexpected happenings. After all, that is perhaps the only almost fool-proof way to ensure a peaceful life.
While we may be happy with things staying the way they are, the universe is unfortunately not. Change, it seems is an inevitability, and so is the occasional use of this ledger.
Though I am certain that there has never been an occurrence like that which happened during the last Lodge meeting, last Tuesday.
Eisbieber are a peaceful wesen. We do not usually have any reason to cross paths with the more ferocious of our mind – we keep to ourselves, and those who most resemble us, like the mauzhertz and the stangebär. We definitely do not happen to encounter Grimms on a regular basis.
Unless, it seems, an eisbieber's name is Eisenbud Wurstner. Even after his initial meeting with the Grimm had been confirmed as fact, we kept away as far as possible. Some of our more inquisitive members tried to spy on him, but by and large we kept away. Unlike the predatory species, we had no interest in him.
Would that the same could have been said about the Grimm.
Not only did he seek us – specifically, Bud – out to help him a few times, he also decided to take up the case of our feud against the hässlichen personally. Considering Robert is dead, perhaps it was a good thing – but it did mean that not only did the eisbieber community become involved with the Grimm Nicholas Burkhardt, we also hosted him during one of our Lodge meetings.
It remains one of the oddest Lodge that has ever taken place in Portland – perhaps even the world. The meeting-places are always hidden away and have never been breached by even the greatest of the predatory wesen, and yet, a Grimm had been brought there willingly…There were certainly a number of eisbieber present who fainted dead as soon as he finished his business there and walked out.
And yet, it seems his constant claims of being different from other Grimms are true. We will not let our guard down around him so easily, of course – but nor will we forget the great service he has done us by making sure we no longer have to fear the hässlichen, at least in Portland.
Until something happens to prove us wrong, Nicholas Burkhardt shall remain a friend of the eisbieber, both of Portland and otherwise.
A/N: Considering the fact that the eisbieber seem to be the most organised community of wesen that has been seen on the show so far, I have no difficulty in believing that they keep a record of events. Maybe not as obsessively as Grimms do, but Nick's going to the Lodge wouldn't exactly have been a everyday event.
As for Nick asking Bud for help before the entire hässlich incident - he doesn't seem as freaked out when Nick appears at the garage as he does when they encounter each other before that. I doubt he got over his fear without further - well, conditioning to Nick's presence. :P
I hope you guys liked it! As always, please don't forget to drop a review on your way out :)
