Things That Come In Threes

The brownie tilted her head in confusion.

"Y...yes? Have you never had an herbal bath before?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Dec 26, 2018 5:56 pm

"I'm not... trying to complain here."

"I hope you don't need the cauldron back too soon. It might be awhile before the Headmistress has this sorted."

by **Narrator** » Thu Dec 27, 2018 9:56 pm

"It can stay with you as long as you have need of it, as can I."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Dec 27, 2018 9:57 pm

"Viv might... need you."

by **Narrator** » Fri Dec 28, 2018 12:04 am

"If she does, I will feel her call. If you have no further need of me you may dismiss me."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Dec 28, 2018 12:33 am

"I don't need much. I'm not sure I've earned being doted on right now. I'll... be alright."

by **Narrator** » Fri Dec 28, 2018 5:30 am

"Not my place to say if you do or if you don't, but you are dirty and naked. That is enough for me. Those I can do something about. Speaking of nude." She moves over and pushes a second collection of clothing through Tereza's cell barrier.

"For you, for later."

by **Cailleach** » Fri Dec 28, 2018 6:57 pm

"You should let us out, Brownie." the giant isopod suddenly chimes in, rolling off the bed with a thud and uncurling to scuttle over to the cell's barrier.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Dec 28, 2018 7:01 pm

"You don't have to listen to her. She's in here for a reason."

by **Narrator** » Sat Dec 29, 2018 12:59 am

"My contract is with the Lady, her order was to serve Her daughter. The Daughter's order was to aid her lovers tonight, the Lady Raven and Lady Wolf. She...you are neither." She gives the bug a curt nod.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Sat Dec 29, 2018 6:36 pm

Tereza ignores both the clothing and the conversation, binding herself up in her own mind.

by **Cailleach** » Mon Dec 31, 2018 6:31 pm

"Useless sprite..." the giant pillbug mutters.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 02, 2019 7:43 pm

"...thanks Ilsa. Take care, alright?"

Sam starts cautiously rubbing the herbal liquid on her wounds that some inconsiderate pillbug managed to dredge through the Maldon estuary.

At some point she becomes aware that the wolf is watching her.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 03, 2019 8:28 pm

"You ah... don't need to worry about me. I'm feeling a bit better already."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Jan 03, 2019 8:33 pm

"Always worry," Tereza says. "Comes with territory."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 03, 2019 8:35 pm

"If you didn't want me to get hurt, you shouldn't have picked a girlfriend who likes to fight," she smirks wearily.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Jan 03, 2019 8:43 pm

Tereza shakes her head, "Don't like you hurt, but can take care of yourself."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 03, 2019 8:44 pm

"We'll... get through this, love. I don't know how, yet. But we will."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Jan 03, 2019 9:06 pm

Tereza chews her lip, which is a weird expression on a muzzle. Finally, she just replies with a single word that feels like a huge admission, "Frightened."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 03, 2019 9:11 pm

"...I know."

"You didn't deserve to have to deal with any of this."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Jan 03, 2019 9:19 pm

"No. Neither did you."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 03, 2019 9:22 pm

"A lot of us have... other selves, in her world. I'm sure I mentioned."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Jan 03, 2019 9:35 pm

Tereza nods, "I remember."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 03, 2019 9:46 pm

"And well... most of them are horrible. I know it sounds like a cliche to call it an evil mirror universe."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Fri Jan 04, 2019 6:08 pm

"Horrible people here too," Tereza points out.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 04, 2019 6:17 pm

"I know. And the worst part of her being in my head is I've been in hers..."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Fri Jan 04, 2019 6:27 pm

"You're not her," Tereza says quickly.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 04, 2019 7:26 pm

"But I could have been. I easily could have."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Fri Jan 04, 2019 7:28 pm

"But you're not," Tereza says, though it's difficult to tell who she's trying to reassure.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 04, 2019 8:00 pm

"And hopefully I never will be."

"But... I don't know if I can put off figuring out what kind of Morrigan I am, either."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Fri Jan 04, 2019 8:03 pm

"Morrigan has new wolf now. Looking obvious," she somehow manages to deadpan.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 04, 2019 8:10 pm

"Aye, definitely going to have to keep up with you two, aren't I?" She smirks wearily.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Fri Jan 04, 2019 8:12 pm

That hint of uncertainty creeps into Tereza sense again, "Maybe."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 04, 2019 8:38 pm

"Both of you," she rephrases, looking Tereza in the eye.

She holds eye contact for a silent moment before starting to get dressed.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Fri Jan 04, 2019 8:41 pm

She glances at one of the cameras meaningfully. "She may not see it that way." She sighs, "But would prefer that, yes."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 04, 2019 9:04 pm

"She's not always watching."

"At least I don't think she is."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 12:34 am

"I assume she is. Safer that way."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 3:37 am

"Then she knows it wasn't bloody me in the tank," she shrugs, sitting down against the side of the cell.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Sat Jan 05, 2019 4:47 am

"Couldn't have been you. In Hollydale."
