*Maria informs Leo and tries to reassure her that blue will be ok in end and just gotta wait for her to come round*

*heads to kitchen to make coffee*
Hey.. Oh hello.

*makes self a coffee*
Welcome the room. Recently arrived?

-PURGED (BENEDICTION FINALITY)-

Well as I said, I'm a Bard. That mostly means I travel from town to town and performed for my job. It wasn't easy work, and more than once I had to go hungry after clients refused to pay me. Or worse.
*I shudder once*

Thaddeus: That's awful... Well, you wont go hungry while you're here.
*Thaddeus looks determined and he begins to finish up the dish wonderfully*
Thaddeus: I used to cook like this for my... younger sister. It's got me feeling quite nostalgic.
*He smiles regardless and then sets a plate of Fettucine for her*
Thaddeus: Eat up.
*He chuckles and gives her a glass of lemon water*

*Space, Vall System*
*The sphere is finally fully enclosed, with heat sinks and reactor spheres forming a ring around it. Hundreds of drones fly around inside, filling the cavernous spaces with prefabricated monoliths and entanglement chambers, while a hundred more begin etching solid-state path-conductor panels into the floors*

*Maria collects her coffee *

Welcome to room anyway. If you ever need help, in one of the local healers.

*goes to head out the kitchen*

*Harador shrugs*
I will find someone. For now, avoid the Spirits.
*bows his head slightly before disappearing in a Fade rift*

*I begin savoring the meal in silence*
*obviously enjoying it*

*Rita shrugs.*
Rita: Thanks for your help...
*She goes off to find Gharn, until finally finding him in front of the medbay.*
Rita: Hey... can we talk in private?

*Thaddeus smiles and takes a seat in front of her and then begins to eat his pasta as well*
Thaddeus: What do you perform? For your job, that is.
*Thaddeus looks very curious*

Well. I can play the Lyre, the Flute, and the Drums. In addition to that, I sing and I make the occasional bad joke. Although I've been trying to avoid joking too much since the last time I did when an offended noble put a bounty on my head. He didn't appreciate the joke

*Gharn nods*
Gharn: Of course, Dria, go about you business or wait here, I don't mind either way. Thank you for staying with me too
*Dria smiles tiredly and nods*
Dria: I'll wait, see you in a bit


*Gharn walks off to the side with Rita and looks at her*
Gharn: What do you need?

*Thaddeus chuckles with amusement*
Thaddeus: How talented! You must perform one of these nights! I'd love to watch. My sister and I were pianists a long time ago.
*Thaddeus has a grim look in his eye but he masks it with his enthusiasm*
Thaddeus: How old were you when you fist began to play?

*Maria heads to med bay to check on the new very rough and rather not so elegant security upgrade they bpdged onto storage as a temp messue until they can get something better. *

*happy heads off to bed leaving things with the duty doctor*
*all mine go to bed*

Ooc night. Got a early appointment...

*Rita sighs.*
Rita: Listen... Izy may have been taken by this evil presence. Harador and I are going to accompanying the angels... will you join us?
*Looks at his fresh wounds.*
Rita: What happened?

OOC: Night man

*Gharn looks serious*
Gharn: Of course I'm coming. If someone has hurt Izriel, I'll do everything I can to kill them.

*He hesitates then sighs*
Gharn: I did what you told me not to, Leonie got into a fight with the angels, and I joined in.

*Rita clenches her teeth, and rounds on Gharn. Her eyes burn red with rage.*
Rita: You what?!
*She punches the wall next to Gharn, denting it slightly.*
Rita: Were you part of... that angels death!

*Gharn looks shocked*
Gharn: One died?! No, I was no part of that. I... blacked out again... Dria said I charged and got knocked out pretty quickly.
I woke up in the medbay about 3 hours ago with my nose broken

Rita: Yes one died..
*Rita stares at Gharn in silence for a long moment.*
Rita: Why... why couldn't you just leave them alone? I yelled at you to stop..

*Gharn looks shaken*
Gharn: I think there's something... wrong.. with me. I don't know... I lost control, like I did when I attacked Maiev... I don't remember attacking them.

I'll probably play later on this evening if you hang around long enough. I started playing when I was 12, when my mentor found me walking in a daze in the forest. Why I was away from home I don't know. Elves are basically considered children until we hit 100 years old

Thaddeus: I can't wait to watch. Oh my.. well at least you wont die early like me!
*Thaddeus chuckles and smiles kindly*
Thaddeus: there is magic in music... perhaps I can show you my Piano skills some day.
*Thaddeus holds eye contact with her*

*I blush and squirm slightly at the eye contact*
Yeah, I got another 670 years in me easy...... And there is magic in music if you know what to look for. It's referred to as Bardic magic...

*Rita sighs.*
Rita: Did you get your head checked out?
*She crosses arms, and sighs again.*
Rita: Listen... if you... don't want to go on this mission, I won't hold anything against you.

*Thaddeus tilts his head to the side slightly with amusment and curiousity*
Thaddeus: Oh your cheeks are red. Do you have a fever?
*His dark eyes glimmer with worry and he places a hand on her forehead*
Thaddeus: No fever.. would you like some tea?
*he grins a bit with playful amusement*

*the blush deepens*
*internally cursing my fair skin*
That would be appreciated. Thank you

*Still resting on the bed*

*Gandrea looks away from Kara while blushing*
M: It means amazing in Japanese...

*Joalia is sleep*

Thesiel floats into the main room with her hands behind her back*
*Looks around, then floats around*

~

*Asoriel and the other two angels stay with the body of the fallen one*

*Gharn nods*
Gharn: Lord Caladrius said there was some damage...
*Looks fierce*
Gharn: Izriel is in danger, nothing short of my own death will stop me helping her. What can I do?

*Rita nods.*
Rita: Fine.. you need to apologize to the angels.
*Meets his gaze with her own.*
Rita: Right now.

*Gharn nods then pauses*
Gharn: I will. Did they apologize for striking you?
