"...why are you doing this?" She asks, cocking her head in confusion.

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 1:27 am**

Tereza gives that a long moment's thought, "I vouched for you. I'm responsible for you, at least by my estimation."

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 2:07 am**

"You're responsible for me not misbehaving, not my... comfort."

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 2:42 am**

"I'm responsible for making sure you're taken care of," she says with a hint of conviction.

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 7:11 am**

"And your headmistress told you this?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 1:49 pm**

"No," she says, sounding slightly offended at the notion. "I can't really explain it. It's just a thing I know. I'm responsible *for* you."

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 6:20 pm**

"...you think of me as pack." She says simply.

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 6:43 pm**

Tereza seems to be listening to something else for a long moment as she watches Isolde, "To an extent. You're still... probationary. You're not the only one to bear that designation though."

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 6:49 pm**

"It's a tempting thing, isn't it? Whether they wear a pelt or not."

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 7:01 pm**

"I don't know that I'd say 'tempting' so much as necessary. Being alone doesn't seem to be good for us, despite your reassurances that you're fine." Her gaze continues to rest on Isolde, eyes tinged with yellow, "I'm offering you a place here... in my 'pack', even though it's a strange one. So it's a question of whether you accept the offered hand or bite it."

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 7:05 pm**

"I already bit it, didn't I?"

"So why are you extending it again?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 7:24 pm**

"Because I know what it's like to have bad people be the only ones who extend a helpful hand and it sucks. And a good woman offered me a hand out of the hole I was in and I'm not rotting in some mutant jail cell because of her and some others like her."

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 7:37 pm**

"I..."

She sighs, hesitating.

"I would like a pack. It just hasn't ever worked out before."

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 7:46 pm**

"Maybe now's the charm. I mean, the pack's already here, such as it is according to her." She taps her forehead. "You're not forming it, you're joining it."

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 8:23 pm**

"I'd be lying if I said there weren't things that I... miss, occasionally."

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 10:35 pm**

"So start finding them again. You've got a clean-ish slate and a safe place to feel things out in."

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 11:05 pm**

"...well they might take exception if I go down to the bar and kiss the prettiest girl I see."

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 11:11 pm**

"Well, I could set you up with my ex. She's almost as old as you are, relatively speaking." It's hard to tell whether she's joking.

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 11:48 pm**

"The one who smells fey?" She quirks a brow.

Posted: **Thu Aug 03, 2017 11:57 pm**

Tereza nods, "Daughter of the Lady of the Lake. She can be uptight in some ways, but she's good people."

Posted: **Fri Aug 04, 2017 12:12 am**

"I don't know if I do uptight."

"For amusement, perhaps."

Posted: **Fri Aug 04, 2017 12:24 am**

"Well, fey and their rules. Though she seems pretty keen on breaking some rules."

Posted: **Fri Aug 04, 2017 12:42 am**

"I wouldn't go matchmaking just yet."

"But I might drink with her."

Posted: **Fri Aug 04, 2017 12:57 am**

Tereza chuckles, "I'll make sure to put in a good word."

Posted: **Fri Aug 04, 2017 2:14 am**

"That's how you find out if you can stand someone, eh?"

Posted: **Fri Aug 04, 2017 2:29 am**

"Oh, she's an interesting drunk. Good luck with that." Tereza grins.

Posted: **Fri Aug 04, 2017 6:43 pm**

"Interesting weepy or interesting punchy?"

Posted: **Fri Aug 04, 2017 6:51 pm**

"Interesting interesting. Entirely depends on what mood you catch her in."

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 6:08 pm**

* At a different time *

Regardless of whether Isolde is in the room or not, Erica pops into existence and takes a seat in a chair in the room. She's dressed pretty plainly compared to her usual standards. Humming to herself, she studies her nails until she's noticed.

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 6:45 pm**

Isolde has been reading something. She tenses, and slowly turns around.

"...it's not any more endearing just because you're taller than the last one who tried this."

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 6:51 pm**

"Seeing little people again are you? That's... unfortunate," she says with possibly a genuine hint of pity, "Quite the upgrade from your last accommodations."

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 7:01 pm**

"They insisted on giving me a room."

"Why are you here?"

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 7:04 pm**

"Checking on you, dear. Things are moving to end game and I wanted to see where you stood."

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 7:06 pm**

"Are you even sure where you stand?"

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 7:13 pm**

"I decide where *I* stand," she says, "I thought you were aware of that. Some contracts have become... disagreeable of late, so I am reviewing my options."

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 7:17 pm**

"I rather thought you weren't expecting them to come this close to success."

"I might know a way out, but I suspect you'd hate it."

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 7:21 pm**

"Michael has become better than I gave him credit for. Or rather, I suspect his children excel and cover for his faults. If you're going to suggest I die, that's rather unlikely at the moment."

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 7:23 pm**

"Oh I know, you avoid it at all costs."

"Does wonders for perspective, though."

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 7:27 pm**

Erica's eyes narrow at Isolde. "That bloody thing with the lighthouse vanishing. You were in it when it happened weren't you?"

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 7:29 pm**

"I knew you were cleverer than you looked," she says with a toothy grin.
