[Nexus Alt-Plot] Nothing and Nightmares {Beans & C'nor}

**Beans** · 2012-08-06, 03:36 PM (ISO 8601)

She nods, blushing a little and nestling closer.

**Lady Serpentine** · 2012-08-06, 04:39 PM (ISO 8601)

Talina smiles, gently holding her friend, though she seems somewhat confused about why Nycca is blushing, since in theory the bat-fey already knew that the healer cares about her.

**Beans** · 2012-08-06, 04:44 PM (ISO 8601)

I...
Could I... sleep in your bed with you?
I mean... that way if I start having a nightmare you can help right away...

**Lady Serpentine** · 2012-08-06, 05:15 PM (ISO 8601)

The sorceress nods.

"Of course you can. I don't have a problem with you falling asleep in my lap out here, so why would that change just because we'll be in a bed?"

**Beans** · 2012-08-06, 05:23 PM (ISO 8601)

She smiles a little and nestles closer, still blushing.
I...
Thanks, Talina.

**Lady Serpentine** · 2012-08-06, 05:26 PM (ISO 8601)

Talina returns the smile, snuggling back.

"You're welcome, Nycca... Why're you blushing, though?"

**Beans** · 2012-08-06, 05:28 PM (ISO 8601)

N-nothing, the cold is making my cheeks red...

**Lady Serpentine** · 2012-08-06, 05:33 PM (ISO 8601)

Talina frowns slightly, not convinced.

"You sure? It doesn't sound like that's actually what's going on..."

**Beans** · 2012-08-06, 05:34 PM (ISO 8601)

She seems a bit uncomfortable... and then her stomach growls loudly.

**Lady Serpentine** · 2012-08-06, 06:02 PM (ISO 8601)

Talina decides to drop the matter when Nycca starts to get uncomfortable, on the assumption that when she's ready to talk about it, she will.

"Right. Time to head back and get some food into you, then... Though if you want, we can make something we can take with us and come back," the healer says, going to stand, though she makes no move to let go of her friend, apparently intending to carry her back.

**Beans** · 2012-08-06, 06:39 PM (ISO 8601)

I think it's best we just go home...

**Lady Serpentine** · 2012-08-06, 06:43 PM (ISO 8601)

"Alright."

And, presumably, the pair will do just that.

**Beans** · 2012-08-06, 06:48 PM (ISO 8601)

When they get back, dinner is already almost done. The girls who are in better shape, like Lenia and Sherry, help take care of the ones worse off.

Marina smiles and reaches up to hug Talina and Nycca with her good arm.
"Hey, how are you two?"

**Lady Serpentine** · 2012-08-06, 07:02 PM (ISO 8601)

Talina smiles back, returning the hug as best she can without jarring Marina's injury or dropping Nycca.

"We're doing okay. Nycca had a nightmare while we were out, but I was able to help her out. And now that I know about them, she's going to be staying with me so I can again, so things worked out fairly well... How about you?"

**Beans** · 2012-08-06, 07:07 PM (ISO 8601)

Marina leans up on her tiptoes and plants a peck on each of their cheeks.
"Well, dinner will be ready soon, so come sit down."
She smiles warmly.

**Lady Serpentine** · 2012-08-06, 07:19 PM (ISO 8601)

Talina goes to kiss Marina's cheek as well, before heading in to sit down; Marina probably knows that if assistance would be useful, Talina will be happy to provide some.

**Beans** · 2012-08-06, 07:24 PM (ISO 8601)

Dinnertime!
Talina may notice that, while Nycca does eat, she seems to be more eating because she doesn't want to seem ungrateful and less because she wants to.

**Lady Serpentine** · 2012-08-06, 07:38 PM (ISO 8601)

Talina does notice that, and seems saddened by it, though she doesn't comment, not wanting to bring it up in front of everyone, and unsure what she could say that might help.

**Beans** · 2012-08-06, 07:43 PM (ISO 8601)

Nycca quietly turns down seconds as Sherry goes to pick a movie for the group to watch; she looks like she might get up to head to her room if not prevented.

**Lady Serpentine** · 2012-08-06, 07:54 PM (ISO 8601)

Talina won't force her to stay, but does seem disappointed that she seems to intend on leaving, and looks like she'll probably follow the bat-fey if she does.

**Beans** · 2012-08-06, 07:58 PM (ISO 8601)

Nycca goes to sit on her bed, staring at her knees with a sigh.

**Lady Serpentine** · 2012-08-06, 08:05 PM (ISO 8601)

Talina sits down next to Nycca, going to slip an arm around her.

"What's up?"

**Beans** · 2012-08-06, 08:08 PM (ISO 8601)

Just... y'know, tired...
She stares down.

**Lady Serpentine** · 2012-08-06, 08:27 PM (ISO 8601)

Talina goes to pull Nycca into her lap.

"You should get some rest, then."

**Beans** · 2012-08-06, 08:32 PM (ISO 8601)

She changes into her jammies before getting into Talina's lap. It is admittedly a bit late, after all...
((Another Nycca song soon.))

**Lady Serpentine** · 2012-08-06, 08:36 PM (ISO 8601)

Talina smiles softly, holding the bat-fey close, and going to pull a blanket over them both, if there is one.

**Beans** · 2012-08-06, 08:37 PM (ISO 8601)

Nycca blushes a little, but she nestles into her friend's arms, laying her head on her chest.
There is a blanket (they'll only need a light one with the weather as warm as it is) and it's a nice lilac color!

**Lady Serpentine** · 2012-08-06, 08:48 PM (ISO 8601)

Talina seems perfectly happy to simply lay there with her friend for a while.

**Beans** · 2012-08-06, 08:52 PM (ISO 8601)

She starts mumbling in her sleep, but it doesn't sound like another nightmare...

Spoiler

Show

A old worn reagent bag
In the hand of a smiling lass
In a house full of hurt girls
That she saved from a burning man
And one girl's heart filled up with plans
To get rid of herself

It wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out

She lives with a broken band
And heals them all when she can
From their nightmares and burns
She used to run first aid
For girls in the rooms with chains
But gravity sometimes wins

It wears us out, it wears us out
It wears us out, it wears us out

Who looks like she's living?
Who tastes like she's living?
The winged broken girl
Who can't help the feeling
She's a waste of this healing
And she should just stop

It wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out

If I could be where I wanted
If I could be where I wanted all the time

All the time...
All the time...

**Lady Serpentine** · 2012-08-06, 09:19 PM (ISO 8601)

A few tears run down Talina's face as Nycca finishes her song, though she stays quiet, and doesn't move, not wanting to wake her friend when she doesn't have to.
