*Taeria innocently approaches Freddy*
Taeria: Who are you?...
*She looks worried and friendly*

*Kara hugs Maiev again*
K: It's not your fault.
*buries her face in Maiev's shoulder*
Gandrea has had enough fun for now.

*Harador follows after Rita*
Don't forget your errand, Rita.

*Rita sighs.*
Rita: What errand I already forgot...
*Thinks.*
Rita: Oh... speak to Kara. Sure I guess I will find her.. You know where she stays?

I think she has...
*Gently picks up Kara, and lies her down on the bed*
*Lies beside her, and pulls up the covers to cover them both, then shivers beside her*
I'm so, so sorry you heard that from her and not me...

*Blue offers Freddy the leg of meat again, and chirps a few times confusedly*

*Kara nods and looks Maiev in the eyes*
K: Was that the only time? Or were there more?

*Harador nods*
Whenever I am near, I can tell where the Herald is. Her mark acts like a beacon, you know. But I will assume you cannot sense it, so basic directions will work.

*Leo stands up and walks out of her room heads out the door and into the forest*

*Her hands tremble but she presses on deep into the forest*

*Rita nods.*
Rita: I guess I haven't noticed her yet... haven't really seen her sense my change.
*Shrugs, and starts heading to Kara and Maiev's room.*

*Taeria shrugs and then goes to the kitchen to bring Ciri some food. She goes to serve Ciri*
Taeria: I'm here, my love.

*Looks right back into Kara's*
Only time. I promise.

*Kara nods*
K: Alright.
*pauses*
When Gandrea has control... what do you all feel?

*Looks out through the peephole and lets Marilania in*
...What was that?

*Ciri snaps awake, and slowly sits up.*
Ciri: Hey love..
*She takes the plate, and eats some of the food.*
Ciri: It's good, thank you.

----
*Rita knocks on Maiev, and Kara's door.
*Looks down so face is hooded.*

Everything I would feel if I was in control, minus the control part. Why?
*Hugs Kara gently*
*Sighs at the knock, then gets up and opens the door, while stark naked*
Yes?

*Kara shakes her head*
Just wondering.
*watches Maiev walk to the door and sits up*

*I finally ease back into the living room*
Is it gone?

Taeria: How are you feeling?
*She sits on the side of the bed by Ciri*
Taeria: do want some more water? Anything? Don't hesitate to ask..

*marilania steps in*

hey.. well im not exatly sure,,, i was told about a metalic race who are any sign was to be classed as highest priority...

not much detail... just to considered a high alert status if seen... pretty much it..

sorry, all i know on the subject...
*offers a hug to reassure her*

you look pretty shaken?

*Ciri smiles weakly at Taeria.*
Ciri: I'm.. just shaken up.. but I'll be okay..
*She sets aside the half eaten plate, and suddenly hugs Taeria.*
Ciri: Thank you... you are my world Tae..

--

*Rita is already looking down so doesn't notice nude Maiev.*
Rita: Hello.. may I speak to Kara? It is urgent.

Could you come back later? Now is a bad time...
*Turns and looks at Kara for her input*
Or do you want her to come in Kara?

*Kara shakes her head and stands up*
K: Let her in. It's probably important.

*Sighs, then moves back over to Kara and sits on the bed*
You heard the lady...

*Nods slowly and accepts the hug*
...High priority alert... to the Imperium? Oh no...

*My eyes begin to glow, and pulse to a solid green. I raise my head, and look around, before speaking in a slow, electronic voice, unsure after a millennia of bring mute*

"Is... Is there any bio organisms here? I require... Assistance..."

*Rita steps in, and walks over to Kara.*
Rita: Hey Kara.. good to see you.
*She sighs.*
Rita: So our local demon showed up... informed me of more rifts. Told me to tell you this.
*Still keeps hood down to cast features in shadow.*

*Looks at Rita tiredly*
I know a demon when I smell one. No need to keep your face concealed.

*Blue(a 7ft bird furry) chirps at Freddy, and offers the leg of meat again*
*Chirps some more*
*Languages*

*Taeria kisses Ciri *
Taeria: I will care for you until the end of my days..
*Taeria holds Ciri's hand and embraces her trying to hide her immense worry for Ciri *

*breaks hug after a suitable time*

Come on, sit down, *smiles*
There's a kettle in here...

*finds one and hands her a calming cup of tea*
There priority... I only know that.. Why... *shrugs* I'm only 20...

*tries to smile*
Relax... Enemies come and go... The room remains... Its stood against and won.

*Kara nods to Rita*
K: More rifts? I hoped that the cave would end it, but I guess not.
*frowns at Maiev's words*
K: Demon? Rita? Is this true?

*Ciri returns the kiss, and tightens the embrace around her.*
Ciri: I will care for you till the end of my days as well...
*She rests her head on Taeria's shoulder.*
Ciri: I'm okay Tae.. I'll get past this..

---

*Rita bristles, and then reluctantly pulls her hood off.*
Rita: Yeah... it's me. My Titan and I have been corrupted.
*She looks over at Maiev with hate.*
Rita: Happy?

*Horus comes back from work and looks at Kruger*
Horus: Help? What kind of help would you need?


*Gharn finishes watching Gladiator and comes out of his room, then starts walking to the main room*


*Iris thanks Maril for the coffee, then eventually follows her to alos check on Miritas because that's what friends do!*
