Elsewhere Creatures Yet Unseen

[Tereza Rozanov]

After finishing her meal and carefully expressing her gratitude to Ilsa, Tereza wanders out across the grounds towards the Point, following her nose and her instincts as she looks for Vivienne.

[Narrator]

As she first approached there was no sign of a way down. As she neared the edge there as a sort of shift of perspective and her angle, the path appeared between two boulders that she could have sworn were only one a moment before.

[Tereza Rozanov]

Tereza tilts her head at the path and then squeezes between the boulders, following the path down towards where she assumes Vivienne is.

[Narrator]

It was a challenge but not impossible for her. The slope lead down below the lighthouse to a small beach and the mentioned sea cave.

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Sweetie?" Tereza calls out as she carefully steps into the cave.

[Narrator]

There was a soft popping sound as little fires spark up along the walls, lighting the way deeper into the cave.

[Tereza Rozanov]

Tereza frowns and continues in, following the lights as she works her way deeper into the cave.

[Narrator]

Farther in she would experience a spider wed across the face sensation and step into a brightly lite room. Stacks of books and papers littered the ground, tables and desks.

Vivienne sat at one large desk, muttering to herself. "No. Useless. No proof."

[Tereza Rozanov]

Tereza approaches her slowly, but not quietly, hoping that she makes enough noise not to startle Vivienne. "Sweetie? Are you okay?"

[Vivienne Chinnoir]

"Ilisa? I told you! You are not to come down here." She turned and threw a large wadded up ball of papers at Tereza.

[Tereza Rozanov]

Tereza's good hand snatches the ball out of the air and pitches it back at Vivienne. "You really should be nicer to her."

[Vivienne Chinnoir]

"She is lucky all I throw is paper balls. Her being down here disrupts the flow, it is dangerous for her and it." The paper ball bounced off her shoulder and fell to the floor.

[Tereza Rozanov]

Tereza frowns, "So you going to turn around and talk to me or am I going to be talking to your back the whole time?"

[Vivienne Chinnoir]

"The calculations were false again anyway. Your lingering here will just further disrupt any and all further attempts." She sighed and turned in her chair, now fully facing Tereza.

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Thank you," she says, adjusting the strap on the sling a little. "You apparently need to take it down a notch."

[Vivienne Chinnoir]

"I could have thrown a book and I am tired of my mother's helpful spies." she noticed the sling.

"You are injured!" She slid off her chair and crossed the cluttered room.

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Yes, I am," she says, putting her hand between Vivienne and her arm. "Some alleged Brotherhood members decided to make a scene on the grounds and one of them broke my arm. It's healing, just a bit slower than I would like."

[Vivienne Chinnoir]

"Odd...and Samantha?" She pulled back a step.

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Currently on the war path and probably out hunting the ones who did it," Tereza says with an obvious frown.

[Vivienne Chinnoir]

"She is out hunting alone?!"

[Tereza Rozanov]

"I don't think she's that angry," Tereza tries to soothe. "I told her to take Will with her... I think. I was kind of high on sedative at the time."

[Vivienne Chinnoir]

"I see. Will will keep her safe." She moved to pull her chair over and offered it to Tereza.

[Tereza Rozanov]

Tereza waves it away. "I'm good. We should go get you something to eat."

[Vivienne Chinnoir]

"What is this obsession with everyone trying to feed me?" She sounded put out as she returned the chair to the desk.

"Wait, what is the time?"

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Somewhere around 8:00 PM, I think. And eating is a thing that people need to do and I have it on good authority that you've been skipping."

[Vivienne Chinnoir]

"Meddlesome Brownie. Very well, since it is evening I will eat again."

[Tereza Rozanov]

"She's nice and she's trying to look out for you. So be nice to her," Tereza scolds, taking one of Vivienne's arms with her good arm as she moves to lead her out.
