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

[Beans]

She yawns, starting to doze off already.
((Dedteim soonish.))

[C'nor]

In that case, the sorceress goes to carry her up to their room so she can get some sleep.

((I'm going to have to go in around an hour anyway.))

[Beans]

And sleep she does, for a few hours, before waking with a happy yawn.

[C'nor]

Talina, who is entirely too excited to sleep, smiles at Nycca, going to give her a brief kiss of welcome.

"Morning, dear. How're you doing?"

[Beans]

((I have no idea what to do for the next arc.))
Good... how're you?

[C'nor]

((Maybe whoever actually owned the whole operation is coming after Talina and the girls?

Though bear in mind, I take no responsibility for whether or not that's a good idea, since it's late and I'm still somewhat full of adrenalin from earlier tonight.))

"I'm doing pretty well too... Better than I have been in a while, actually."

[Beans]

She smiles and hugs her tightly.
Thanks for everything.
((Oooh, good idea...))

[C'nor]

((Thanks!))

Talina returns the smile, hugging her back.

"You're welcome, Nycca. I'm glad I could help."

[Beans]

Nycca kisses her cheek and smiles.

[C'nor]

Talina smiles as well, stroking her wings.

"You want to head downstairs and talk to the others?"

[Beans]

She smiles and nods.

[C'nor]

Down they go, then! Talina, as usual, will carry Nycca, if the bat-fey doesn't object.

[Beans]

The girls wave and smile as usual!

[Beans]

The girls wave and smile as usual!

[C'nor]

Talina returns the smiles and waves, as always, heading over to Lenia, if she's here.

[Beans]

((Backstory idea: Vo was employed by the brothel to check for infections, etc, before Talina was there.))
The nervous, dirty-blonde-haired girl looks up and smiles at them.

[C'nor]

((Seems reasonable, if Vo would have been willing to not turn them in, or had what was going on hidden from her somehow.))

Talina returns the smile, going to hug her.

"Hey, Lenia."

[Beans]

((Knowing Vo, they could have easily intimidated her into it.))
"Hey, how're you two?"

[C'nor]

((Sounds good, then. Would Vo and Talina have met?))

Talina grins, looking around for a couch, or somewhere else they can all sit together.

"We're doing pretty well. How about you?"

[Beans]

((Probably not, but she'll have heard of "the nervous doctor lady" and "the doctor with cold hands".))
Lenia will sit close enough to stroke Nycca's hair.
"Oh, um, I'm okay..."

[C'nor]

Talina smiles reassuringly at Lenia, going to slip an arm around her.

"Good... Anything interesting going on with you?"

[Beans]

"Um, nothing really..."
She shrugs.

[C'nor]

Talina shrugs, leaning over to rest her head on Lenia's shoulder, and nestling against her friends.

[Beans]

"Have, um...
Have you heard anything about what happened to the doctor lady who was there before you came?"

[C'nor]

"Not really... Would you like me to try to find out more about her?"

[Beans]

She nods, frowning a little.
"She was... nice. I hope she's okay..."
Her name was on the medical documents she left for Talina when they switched, so they know that.

[C'nor]

Talina goes to plant a quick kiss on her cheek, nodding.

"I'll get to work on it tonight, then."

[Beans]

She smiles and hugs back.

[C'nor]

Talina smiles as well, going to pull Lenia into her lap, if there's room to do so without displacing Nycca.

[Beans]

Lenia and Nycca have to shuffle around a little, but they find a comfortable position eventually.
