[ BLUEBIRD IS DISTRACTED WITH LAUNDRY ]

[ (don't worry she's wearing clothes) ]

[experiencepoints]

[approaches

as quietly as she can manage from behind

sneak sneak sneak, until she's pretty close]

Cecilia's not providing that sort of thing for you? Huh.

[reachfortheskies]

Oh! Nightingale!

[ spins to face her, pleasantly surprised – and promptly gives her a very thorough look over ]

[experiencepoints]

Hey. How's it going in here? Gotten bored yet?

[she looks. rough. she hasn't been sleeping, she seems tense and ready to jump at a slight startle, her eyes are still a bit red and puffy, she's favoring one leg even if they're both fine now, etc.]

[reachfortheskies]

...

[ her smile quickly fades into concern (and maybe ... something else, as well? it's hard to say for sure; bluebird's good at that whole POKER FACE thing) ]

Nightingale ...

[experiencepoints]

[she's still trying to smile, but it's strained.]

Yeah?

[reachfortheskies]

... You don't need to force yourself.

[ opens her arms out, offering a hug? :( ]

[experiencepoints]

...

[she hesitates, but then hugs her tight.]

If I wasn't forcing myself, I'd just be drunk alone in my room again right now. I kind of do need to.

[reachfortheskies]

I was referring to your smile.

[ yeah, this is a pretty damn tight hug ]

[experiencepoints]

[leans into...]

So was I.

[reachfortheskies]

You can push yourself without forcing cheer.

[ YOUR HAIR. IT IS BEING STROKED. ]

Do you want to talk about it?

[experiencepoints]

... Not really, honestly. But I need to. I came here to warn you, after all.

[BLUEBIRD DOES LAUNDRY]

[SPARK NAPS UNDER A TREE like a lazy asshole]

[experiencepoints]

[...

prods you with a staff]

[unlocksmith]

[swat]

[swat swat]

[swat swat swat]

[experiencepoints]

[lightly bops you with it upside the head]

[unlocksmith]

Nalea. . .

[grumpily rolls over onto his side DX]

[experiencepoints]

No, not quite.

You should be helping her, though.

[BOP]

[unlocksmith]

[catches the staff as it comes down this time, one eye snapping open]

. . . Nightingale!

[and flopping over to give her a good once-over]






. . . you look like you went through a meat grinder.

[tactful]

[experiencepoints]

[well

the staff vanishes, as she flops down next to him.]

No. The meat grinder would have been better.

[unlocksmith]

What happened?

[sobering up a lot as he sits up, his gaze turning concerned]

[experiencepoints]

Where do I even start...?

To begin with, I guess... If you were planning on coming back any time soon, don't. Everything's gone to hell. The castle's gone.

[unlocksmith]

Gone?

[raises both eyebrows]

What happened to it?

[experiencepoints]

... Nyssa took over.
