*Kara stands up and puts a hand on Maiev's shoulder*
K: Kadan...

*Harador's smile turns into a grin and he turns to face Rita and Izriel*
It doesn't feel good when you're the one receiving it, doesn't it? But you never wanted it, to be a demon, you might say. As if that changes anything. Now, perhaps you would like to say hello to the old merchant yourself? He's not likely to bite, trust me. I made sure he couldn't.

*Maiev barely notices Kara's hand, and increases the strength of the step*
M: What was that? You going to beg?

~

*Izriel doesn't stop holding out her spear*

*Gharn chokes a bit and a streak of defiance crosses his face as he weakly shakes his head*


*Cal pauses as he sees Andrea, he smiles and waves*
Cal: Hey! It's been a while, how have you been?

*Rita Growls.*
Rita: Why would I want to say hello to that donkey-cave... What are you talking about?

---
*Roland nods to Denny.*
Roland: Thankee Denny, I appreciate your aid as well. Would you both care for a drink and a smoke?
*Jake smiles, and nods.*

*I look up*
Hello Cal! I've been great actually, we just recently got our first batch of interns through their medical classes and into clinic. I can cut back on my hours now and relax a little.
*I shift my weight*
It has been a while, how have you been?

*Cal grins*
Cal: I've been great. Really great. Glad to hear about those interns too, it'll make both our jobs easier.
*His wings rustle slightly*
Cal: You seen the kids around? I promised I'd do something with them when my rounds were done and their not in the kitchen anymore

*I laugh softly*
You're telling me! I might actually be able to get some sleep now for once.
*I pause*
No I haven't actually, but I've been working all day.
*I stretch and crack my back audibly*
Couldn't do that in armor....

*Cal chuckles*
Cal: True.. true... I've enjoyed spending time with Morri while I've been away, now I just hope I get enough rest between her, the kids and work
*Cal nods*
Cal: Well, good to see you again! I'm going to go look for the twins, tag along if you like, I'm sure they won't mind
*Walks off to look for his children*

I'd be happy to Cal. I haven't seen either of them in a long while.
*I adjust my lab coat and happily trail after Cal*

D: Yes please. I'll go for both.
*Stands behind Jake still*

*Cal walks out to the main room then smiles and walks over to the twins*
Cal: Hello you two!
*Morgan smiles*
Morgan: Hey dad, and... Aunt Andrea?
*Dria grins and gets up to hug Andrea*
Dria: Aunty Andrea!

OOC:
This is after they "grew up" right? Just for mental reference

OOC: Yes, Dria is now in her late teens, with long silver hair flowing down her back. She's very thin and small, with delicate features and a soft friendly face

Morgan looks almost nothing like his sister. He's tall, with close cut black hair and is muscular, though not beefy, more lean.
His face is all angles and planes with high cheekbones and a sharp nose and jawline
Bic:

*Morgan grins up at Andrea*


*Morri is talking with Ra and some harpies in Orkmart about a recent break in*

*Kara shakes her head*
K: This isn't the way.

*Harador shakes his head*
Languor lives, if you can consider it a life. Perhaps it would be better to show you.
*waves a hand in front of him, forming a small rift. Shortly afterwards, a feeble old man appears and looks around*
A thrall, but with no purpose. A more fitting end than destruction, I would say.

*Rita's eyes glow bright red, and she draws her pistol.*
*She fires two rounds into Languors face.*

---

*Jake grabs a beer for himself and Denny.*
*Roland manages to roll two cigarettes relatively quick for the pair.*
Roland: Here you both are.

*Maiev curb-stomps Gharn in the chest, then backs away*
M: Get out of my sight.

~

*Izy gets ready to hold back Rita*
*Too late, then smiles at her*

~

*Denny nods in gratitude*
D: Thank you.
*Smoooooooooookes it*

*I hug Dria*
Look how much you've grown! You were so little the last time I saw you!
*I then shoot Morgan a smile over Dria's shoulder*
I see you over there Morgan! Get over here and give me a hug!

*The bullets pass harmlessly through Languor, and Harador shakes his head again*
You still have a lot to learn, Rita. He's a wraith, nothing material can harm him. But trust me, he is suffering enough as it is. An eye for an eye, as the mortals say.

*Gharn grunts in pain and blacks out for a few seconds then tries and fails to get up, he falls back and cries out from burns*


*Dria smiles as Morgan rolls his eyes and smiles then gets up and hugs Andrea briefly*
Morgan: Hey.
Dria: How have you been!

*I shoot Morgan a mock glare*
Don't make me come over there Morgan, your father has been telling me all your ticklish spots, and I'm not afraid to use them?
*to Dria*
I've been great actually, as I was telling your father on the way here I've been helping the new Interns in the med bay settle in so they can start working on becoming doctors. Maybe now I can actually get some sleep...

*Morgan and Cal both stare*
*Dria laughs *
Dria: Glad to hear it! I remember you kinda did always look tired, now you'll have more free time!

*Morgan blinks*
Morgan: Ooookaaay... Dad, what were we going to do today?
Cal: Well I'm not sure, let me ring you mother and see if she's available or not.
*Cal walks off to the side and makes a call*

God I hope so, maybe I can finally pick up a hobby to do when I'm not working. The possibilities are endless!

*Rita rolls her eyes.*
Rita: Why the feth are you showing me this?

---
Jake: Thank you father.
Roland: You're welcome, think nothing of it.
*Jake lights his cigarette, and smokes.*
*Roland and Jake enjoy their beers and smokes.*

*Dria nods and stands back*
Dria: Did you have anything in mind?


*Cal finishes talking and walks over to the twins and Andrea*
Cal: Your mum's busy for the next couple hours, so we'll have to find a way to entertain ourselves then

*to Dria*
To be honest I haven't thought that far ahead. The interns are starting tomorrow so tonight is the first night I've actually had free in a long time.
*to Cal*
What did you have in mind?

*Kara kneels down next to Gharn*
K: We're getting you to the medbay. And as soon as you can, you're going to give your side of the story.

*Harador sighs*
One might find it comforting to know what the final fate of their tormentor was.
*waves his hand and the rift and Languor disappear*
Every moment he spends in the mortal world drives him insane. The Fade does its own work, at my bidding.

*Miritas walks into the living room, having successfully escaped Gaunter*
Thank goodness. The "blank stare" strategy actually worked. Hello... Morgan, Dria, Andrea, and Cal. I was narrowly avoiding making deals with things I shouldn't make deals with.

~

*Verdai looks around, admiring the view and dearly wishing he had something to eat*

*Cal shrugs*
Cal: I was thinking...
*He smiles at Morgan and Dria*
Cal: I'd say you're old enough to have your first real beer, not a sip a full one. After that, we'll see
*Morgan and Dria both look very surprised*
Morgan: Really?
Dria: Are you sure that's okay with Mutti
*Cal waves the questions away*
Cal: Don't worry about it, what do you say?
*Morgan nods and grins as Dria nods and doesn't*
Dria: Alright...
Morgan: Let's hope it's better than the homebrewed stuff at Aunty's
*Cal smiles*
Cal: Okay, wait here. Andrea, you want one?


*The twins wave at Miritas*
M&D: Hey Miss

*Gharn nods weakly, too injured to really speak*

*I nod*
Please, it's been a long day.
*I nod to Miritas*
Probably a wise idea

*Taldeer briefly disappears and then re-appears with some food*

*Kara rummages through her pack and produces one of her last health potions*
K: Drink this, it'll numb your pain.
