*The soup and bread are finally ready and Thaddeus sets the table perfectly*
Thaddeus: Sorry for the wait you yep.
*He sets two bowls out and breadplate for both Cal and Arya*

*Kara eventually stops kissing Maiev and holds out her hand*
K: Go ahead.
*looks between Maiev and the ring*

*Harador gets sent into a wall, and an audible crunch of his spine can be heard*
*growls and tries to dislodge his arm from the wall so he can heal himself*

*Iris steps over to Miritas and whispers*
Iris: Emylyn, Horus has been close-quarters combat with the same blade for millennia. Melee combat is his specialty, and people dismissing it tends to annoy him


*Cal has passed out into a restful, healing sleep*

*Taldeer pokes at Verdai's cheek*
Aw you're blushing!

*I dig into the bread and soup*
*a soft moan of pleasure slips out and I go beet red when I realize it*

*Looks at Scatty, then barrels through a wall*
*Keeps running, slowing with every wall break*
*Gets to a room, falls to all fours, and starts crawling away while regaining colour again*
*Grey feathers are stained bright red with blood*

~

*Maiev smiles, then carefully fits the ring onto Kara's finger*
*Grins and lets out a tear or two*

~

*D2 grunts, then moves closer to Harador*
D2: You taste good for a demon?

*Thaddeus is happy that Arya enjoyed the soup*
Thaddeus: Is it good enough?
*Thaddeus smiles when he noticed her red cheeks*
Thaddeus: That can't be fever..
*He goes to quickly deliver a bowl of soup to Cal*

*in a very small voice*
Yep. It's good enough.
*internal screaming*

*Rita sends a beam of energy into the back of D2.*
*Starts charging the gun again.*

----
*Jake gets to his feet, and limps the noise of the breaking wall.*
*Groans in pain, but looks determined.*
*Starts following Blues, blood trail.*

*Gharn stands and slowly circles behind Harador's foe*


*Scatty sprints after Blue*
Scatty: Blue wait! (Danu, how strong is she to just break though all those walls)
*She smells the blood and tries not to think about it at the moment*


*Dria comes out into the main room, gasps and runs over to her father*
Dria: Daddy! What happened to you?!


*Iris nods*
Iris: It's okay, just... we're different from you yeah? I don't particularly think cities designed by computers are the greatest thing in the galaxy but I would never disrespect it when you think so highly of them

*Thaddeus come back and takes a seat as he leaned in closer to Arya*
Thaddeus: You're flustered... I just want you to be comfortable..
*He says softly and then grins*
Thaddeus: try the bread with the soup. The flavors compliment each other.

*Kara's own eyes water and she kisses Maiev*
K: I love you.
*pulls Maiev down and goes back to kissing her*

*Harador rips his arm free and makes a gesture. Immediately, his bones start to knit back together*
Take a bite, see what will happen.
*pulls himself out of the bleeding wall and stares up at the demon*

*Leo goes back into her room to sleep*

*Curls up and snoozes*

*Crawls away, then collapses as the head wound starts catching up*
*Rolls under a desk*

~

*Maiev cries openly and holds Kara while kissing her*
M: I do too...

~

D2: I guess I wi-
*Roars in pain as a new hole in its chest is made*
*Turns in fury to face Rita, then jumps over Gharn to her*

*the blush deepens as Thaddeus gets closer*
*staring like a complete dunce*

*Taldeer chuckles huskily*
My work here is done then.
*she stretches cat-like and then cracks her neck audibly*
We should probably head back at some point....

-PURGED (BENEDICTION FINALITY)-

*Kara strokes Maiev's hair and keeps kissing her*
K: Why didn't I meet you sooner?
*smiles and hugs Maiev*

*Harador growls and throws himself after the demon*
I am not done yet.

*Gharn roars*
Gharn: NO!
*He turns and swings at the demon's back*


*Iris hugs Miritas*
Iris: Hey, it's okay. We all have our quirks. Horus's is that he likes hitting things with a big sword.


*Scatty chases after Blue and looks under the desk. She stays a fair bit away as she looks down at Blue*
Scatty: Blue? Are you okay? What happened?

*Taldeer nods*
Yes. I just need to grab a few things then I'll be ready to go.

*Thaddeus tilts his head to the side as he noticed the staring *
Thadd: Are you alright?
*he looks slightly worried *

*tiny voice continues*
I'm perfectly fine. Why wouldn't I be? I mean, it would be so weird if I wasn't ok right?
*babbling like a moron*

*Rita jets backwards sliding on the ground.*
*She fires the charge rifle from the hip, and then activates her cloak.*

---
*Jake follows after Scatty.*
Jake: Scatty.. something is wrong with Blue.. we need to put her...
*Sighs.*
Jake: She needs to be put into a cage... the room will decide what to do next.

*Scatty looks startled*
Scatty: She did this?! I was told it was a monster, not Blue!

*LT wanders around the medbay, eating any other corpses he finds*
LT: Humanses weak. Tasty too.

*Horus frowns and kneels down. He rubs a finger over it then examines said finger*
Horus: Could be... could be just rust too though

*Thaddeus grins with amusement and takes a spoonful of soup. He efficiently plops the spoonful in her mouth smoothly*
Thaddeus: You're nervous..

*Can't make eye contact, and just lays there dazed and in pain*

~

*D2 mostly ignores Gharn, but takes another laser to the arm, which comes off*
*Roars in pain, then swings his arm around to wade off Gharn and Harador*

~

*Maiev shrugs, then rolls on top of Kara*
M: Cause that woulda been too easy...
*Kisses her to shut her up*

Oh, dear... I'm worried, now.
*Sound of creaking metal from behind the group*
