Don't Make Me Choose

Though many students might prefer going to London, Maldon provides closer amenities for those without a car or unwilling to pay for a cab. Several pubs are available, though the Rose and Crown is notable for having been where Excalibur spent a good deal of their downtime. Also of note is the Plume Library, home to many rare books.

After the kebab had been consumed, Wanda packed up her small bag of stuff. Kara saw them to the door. Wanda gave her a hug, "I appreciate you letting me crash here. Let me know if you need something."

"I will," Kara says. Then she fixes Isolde with a look, "The two of you take care of each other, okay?"

"...that's the job, yes." She says without any hint of sarcasm.

Kara just smiles at them and then closes the door as they walk down the hall.

Wanda loops her arm in Isolde's. "So where should we go now?"

"And it was a good gesture. Ideally, to get away, we'd go to London, but it's a bit late for that and I gather that that's not really your scene."

After a couple of drinks in the hotel bar at the Swan, Wanda had acquired them a room and comfortably fallen asleep. In the middle of the night though, she started to thrash a bit.

Isolde snaps to alertness, eyes yellow as she looks about.

"...Wanda?" She asks with concern.

Wanda's eyes blink open and she clutches at her chest in a brief panic. Then it seems to register where she is and she stills, though she's still breathing hard. "Sorry... bad dream."

"Want to... talk about it?"

It seems like an unfamiliar concept to her.

Wanda rolls over to look at Isolde, the beginnings of tears in her eyes just for a moment. "Just a lot of darkness... and pain. A lot of pain. Now... something feels missing."

Wanda nods, reaching out to put a hand on Isolde's shoulder as if to make sure she's solid. "I hate nightmares. Especially vague ones."

Wanda looks down, but at nothing in particular as she tries to sort through the mental impressions from the nightmare. "It was... cold. Windy. Wet. For some reason, I felt safe... or knew I should feel safe?"

"I don't know. There's just this sense of... loss. And everything hurt. Legs, then arms, then chest. It was like what I imagine being torn apart would be like."

"I hope not either. Hopefully it was just a nightmare and not a vision." She snuggles closer to Isolde.
