[Not-So-Abandoned Warehouse]

Ashley falls asleep as well. She might be the first to wake up, in which case she pulls on her undergarments and a t-shirt. She looks for where she put the food she's been storing is.

Presumably they've settled onto a couch, and she curls up in her friend's lap, blissfully happy.

((Maeve currently feels much the same way Khair does. At some point in the past, it's possible she could have had/did have some romantic feelings for her, but they weren't all that strong at the time, and in the absence of any encouragement from Khair, they faded; were it to come up for some reason, she wouldn't be averse to trying out a relationship with Khair, but she doesn't really have any particular desire to do so, either.))

They have indeed settled onto a couch, and Maeve will be perfectly happy to pet her friend and scratch her ears until Khair tires of it.

[Maeve's]
Khair eventually rolls over to face up, then sits up.
This is the best I've felt in a long time.

[C'nor]

[Maeve's]

Maeve smiles at her, nodding.

"I feel the same way. And I'm glad I could do something to help make your day better.

Also... I'm sorry I haven't been able to do more things like this for you."

[Beans]

[Maeve's]
It's okay... things have been tough on us, so we haven't been able to do these things. It's not your fault.
She hugs her friend tightly.

[C'nor]

[Maeve's]

Maeve returns the embrace, nodding again.

"I know, but... You still deserve better, and I wish I could give it to you. I know why I haven't been able to, but that doesn't mean I don't feel bad about it."

[Beans]

[Maeve's]
The fact that you want to is enough for me.
She purrs louder, nuzzling her cheek.

Awhile later, Ally wakes up and stretches before looking around.

[Rotting Baron]

[Not-So-Abandoned Warehouse]

The warehouse hasn't changed much, though some clothes are scattered around for some odd reason. Ashley is still in the main room, whistling as she looks through a shelf for some eggs. She glances back and notices that Ally's awake now. She grins. "Morning, babe."

[Maeve's]

Maeve smiles softly, petting her friend, and nuzzling Khair's cheek as well.

[Beans]

[Maeve's]
The catgirl pulls down her mask to whisper in her friend's ear; it's her usual pleasant murmurings, only half in Common.

[C'nor]

[Maeve's]

Maeve murmurs back appropriate responses to as much of it as she understands.

[Beans]

[Maeve's]
Khair smiles and curls up again, ready to sleep.

[C'nor]

[Maeve's]

Maeve, having slept on far less comfortable things than a couch, has no real intention of moving if Khair is fine with falling asleep here, and likely dozes off shortly as well.

[Beans]

[Maeve's]
Khair will most likely still be fast asleep by the time her friend awakes, curled up and content.

[C'nor]

[Maeve's]

Maeve smiles, snuggling closer and singing softly to herself as she waits for Khair to wake up.

[Beans]

[Maeve's]
Eventually, Khair wakes, stretching.
Sleep alright?

[C'nor]

[Maeve's]

Maeve smiles, nodding.

"I slept fine. You're very soothing..."

[Beans]

[Maeve's]
Glad I was able to help...

"Don't worry, I know what I am doing."

Ugh... Yeah, great.

Elkandar has a pounding headache, but si still.

Maeve nods again, snuggling closer.

"So am I... How about you? You doing okay?"

[Beans]

[Maeve's]
She nods, starting up her purr again.

[C'nor]

[Maeve's]

Maeve smiles, going to absorb whatever pain Khair is feeling again, though this time, the effects might be a little more noticeable, since the skin on the human's arm starts to split and blister as she does.

Kayla should have him stitched up in no time.

"There you go. Feeling a bit better, less drunk?"

Khait frowns and tries to stop her.
Your arm... Maeve, I'm fine, you don't have to...

[Maeve's]

Maeve shakes her head, continuing, unless Khair has some way to block her magic.

"I'll be alright, Khair... Don't worry about me..."

[Beans]

[Maeve's]
Khair shakes her head rapidly.
Please, don't do this to yourself.

[C'nor]

[Maeve's]

Maeve sighs, but, reluctantly, stops.

"I can handle it, Khair... You deserve to not hurt sometimes..."

[Beans]

[Maeve's]
I'm used to it. You deserve not to suffer for my sickness, especially when you're the one keeping us off the streets and out of starvation.

[C'nor]

[Maeve's]

"The difference is, I choose to take on your pain. You have no choice in whether or not you hurt."
