*Scatty wobbles*
Scatty: I don't like the feel of that...
*Draws one of her swords*

*She looks up at Leo*
Scatty: If you want to find me, I'll be at the lake... and yes... if you could... I'd like you there...
*Slowly walks off still clutching her tail*

Get some rest, Gharn. We'll be back in the morning.

*Gharn nods slowly*
Gharn: Alright... thank you for visiting me. Lord Caladrius said I should be out in a few more days, it's mostly my shoulder, and my... face...
*Sighs and leans back against his pillow then eventually passes out*


*Cal steps in finally, cleans up Gharn and repairs the bandages on Gharn's face before nodding politely and stepping out to go to bed*


*Scatty goes to the lake makes a small fire and stares at her reflection in the smooth water of the lake all night long*

*Opens eyes and jumps at the sight of the crystal trees*
...I thought I was dreaming...
Also, I apologize if I whispered in my sleep. I do that. Result of repressed memories, mostly.

*Leo tilts her head at Blue*

Leo: Are you alright Blue?

*Leo's tongue flicks*

*Blue shakes her head, and cuddles with Leo*
*Doesn't move from her side, and isn't easily removed*
