Cassies Palace 14

[21:55]	<[GM]Mary>	Last time, on Maid In Heaven
[21:57]	<[GM]Mary>	...nothing in particular. We'll just move on to Day Two, in which some maids are currently having hangovers and others are raiding the place. Same old, same old.
[21:57]	<[GM]Mary>	Day Two morning start!
[21:59]	* Tabitha	rolls out of bed, having been awake for the last half-hour and considering herself awake enough to start a day.
[22:01]	* Tabitha	starts the day the way any emotionally-repressed 15-year old would: by playing with a knife.
[22:02]	* Tabitha	practices what few fighting moves she knows that don't require too much strength or physical effort. Why she'd ever need them is beyond her, but it's something to practice in one's spare time.
[22:03]	* [huh]Isabella	is, as expected, still fast asleep.
[22:06]	* Valea	groans, on the edge of consciousness. She attempts to open her eyes slightly, but instantly snaps them back shut.
[22:07]	* Valea	(uunh... Ow...)
[22:09]	* Cassandra	awakens, with her head hurting more than usual and some unbidden feet in her face. Urk... drank too much...
[22:10]	* Valea	lazily flops over onto her back, sore all over and bearing the worst headache she's ever had.
[22:10]	* Cassandra	grabs one of those feets and pinches it by the toe.
[22:13]	* Valea	recoils and pulls her foot back, its sharp and localized pain startling her closer to awakening.
[22:16]	<Cassandra>	Gmnn...
[22:17]	* Valea	rolls over again though, still not yet awakening. ( guh, hard bed... )
[22:18]	* Cassandra	raises up, only to bonk her head on the top of the table.
[22:19]	<Cassandra>	ow... shit...
[22:20]	<Cassandra>	Hey... Hey Izzy, are you up yet?
[22:20]	* Cassandra	feels around for her fairy
[22:20]	* [huh]Isabella	is breathing softly onto Cassandra's chest, so no.
[22:23]	* Cassandra	finds... Valea, but quickly notices the doll-sized breaths and little fairy dreams on her breast.
[22:23]	<Cassandra>	Aww... how precious...
[22:24]	* Cassandra	picks Izzy up gently and sets her outside the table.
[22:24]	* Valea	grumbles upon being patted on her front, then turning away from whatever it was that did that and onto her chest.
[22:25]	* [huh]Isabella	whines softly, squirming upon touching the cold air.
[22:27]	* [huh]Isabella	slowly opens her eyes to the familiar room, ans sits up, lazily rubbing sleep from her eye.
[22:28]	* [PYG]Victoria	sits up on her bed, rubbing her eyes and yawning.
[22:29]	<[huh]Isabella>	UUhn.... Cassie...?
[22:29]	* Cassandra	tries to drive the buzzing din of subconscious thought going in, out, and around her mind.
[22:32]	* [PYG]Victoria	looks over to the clock on her wall and gets up, realizing she's woken up later than usual. What a long night.
[22:32]	* [Tes]Enrica	begins to fade into consciousness, but is a bit reluctant at first to proceed.
[22:32]	* [huh]Isabella	crawls back under the Kotatsu to find Cassie there. Curling up on her, she attempts to go back to sleep.
[22:33]	* Valea	turns over once again, this time bumping lightly onto Enrica.
[22:33]	<Valea>	mmnn...
[22:35]	* Valea	, feeling the warmth, unconsciously snuggles up against it.
[22:35]	<Cassandra>	sheesh...
[22:36]	* Tabitha	, meanwhile, slips back into her maid's uniform and sheathes her knife. She stares at her mother's ring for several minutes, wondering if she should put it on...
[22:36]	* Cassandra	finds Valea and sticks Izzy down her blouse. There. Now, I just gotta crawl out of here...
[22:37]	* Tabitha	decides against it once again, and exits the room without it, searching for her sister and mistress.
[22:37]	* [Tes]Enrica	begins to wake up further, and her thoughts become more coherent.
[22:37]	* Valea	squirms at first, a little uncomfortable with the foreign object.
[22:37]	* Valea	slowly resettles back into her sleep against Enrica, though, as Izzy doesn't seem to be moving around much herself.
[22:37]	* [huh]Isabella	finds it quite warm.
[22:38]	* Tabitha	makes for her sister's room, but recalls she has no idea where it is!
[22:38]	* Tabitha	...or anyone's room for that matter.
[22:38]	* [PYG]Victoria	begins getting dressed quickly, a little worried about being the last one awake, and thus not being a responsible a maid as she should be.
[22:38]	<[Tes]Enrica>	. o (Hold on, I'm being static. I feel awful, but it's familiar... ah, right. Wait, what happened...?)
[22:40]	* Cassandra	can't make a turn with the obstacles(maids) in the way, so she tries rolling out from under the table. Upon her success, she shakes her head, trying to get out all of the grogginess and nausea... Okay, that was a bad idea. Now you're just dizzy, which is hard to become when you're down a primary sense. Cassie stops monologuing to herself and sits up on the table to get her bearings.
[22:40]	* Valea	snuggles a little closer to Enrica, rubbing her head a little on the pleasantly warm pillow.
[22:41]	* [Tes]Enrica	remembers what had happened the previous day, but decides to shove it aside. She forces herself to awaken further and becomes aware of Valea.
[22:41]	* Tabitha	decides to head for the kitchen instead. As a maid, she should prepare some breakfast for the manor.
[22:41]	* Valea	, on the other hand, does not remember the lattermost events of the night, and is still unaware of Enrica (and Izzy).
[22:41]	<Cassandra>	damn, it's cold...
[22:42]	* [Tes]Enrica	begins to crawl out from under the kotatsu. Lying there isn't getting her anywhere.
[22:43]	* [PYG]Victoria	goes over to her bag and takes out a random book, a rather thick one this time. This is going to take a while to read. She shrugs it off and heads out of her room to go and check if anyone is still in the lounge.
[22:44]	* [Tes]Enrica	makes it outside and stands up groggily. She rubs her eyes and wills her head to clear, doing her best to regain her bearings completely. As she does so, she notices Cassandra.
[22:44]	<[Tes]Enrica>	...Good morning, Cassandra. Do you know where... my tie is...?
[22:45]	* Valea	slides off of Enrica as her pillow leaves, falling slightly onto her chest and barely avoiding a crushed isabella.
[22:46]	* Tabitha	recalls the mistress's taste in food from yesterday's meal: mostly fruits and vegetables. Rolling up her sleeves, she gets to work on a spread fit for six.
[22:46]	* [Tes]Enrica	begins to look for her tie, but finds her vest first. Picking it up, she continues her search.
[22:46]	* [huh]Isabella	takes a tumble, and is shicked to wakefulness.
[22:46]	<[huh]Isabella>	Ehhh...
[22:47]	* Tabitha	cooks like an old pro, though she frowns as she wonders if she could do better that this...
[22:47]	<[Tes]Enrica>	...Do you need... anything, Cassandra? Can't leave my... profession aside.
[22:48]	* [huh]Isabella	looks around for Cassandra.
[22:48]	* Cassandra	's thoughts go all over the place. . o ( damn it's cold valea was cheating on that game last night I wonder where izzy went had another dream about father again damn it's cold no one ate any of those snacks last night did they tarter sauce what the *#(@ are you on about oh i forgot you're a lesbian damn it's COLD gotta talk to tabitha about dad today I said fuck off wait didn't someone make a little dress for izzy that would be so cute i wonder what nanna would say about me now someone's in the kitchen are you still there enrica c'mon vickie just one more no dad I don't want- )
[22:48]	<Cassandra>	...huh?
[22:49]	<Cassandra>	Oh... Oh. Oh. Hahahaha. Did you have fun last night?
[22:50]	<[Tes]Enrica>	...Eh?
[22:50]	<Cassandra>	Nevermind.
[22:50]	* [Tes]Enrica	feigns ignorance but rises at the jab mentally.
[22:50]	* Cassandra	pushes on her temples. Now's the wrong time to be asking questions...
[22:50]	* Tabitha	finishes up her preparations, unconcerned that she just prepared a meal for six by herself. It's her job after all.
[22:52]	* [huh]Isabella	sheds her larger form (and, incidentally, her clothing) ans flutters over to rest on Cassandra's shoulder at a comfortable three inches.
[22:52]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Well... see my tie anywhere?
[22:52]	* [PYG]Victoria	finally arrives at the door to the lounge and gives it a few soft knocks.
[22:52]	<Valea>	unf...
[22:52]	<Cassandra>	Ummhh... Why don't you drag Valea off to get some water. I... I think breakfast is ready.
[22:52]	* Valea	is starting to become more uncomfortable with the hard(er) floor.
[22:52]	* Cassandra	blinks at Enrica twice with her blind eyes, and calls out:
[22:52]	<Cassandra>	Come in.
[22:53]	* Tabitha	double-checks her work. Fruit and vegetable trays, a thick mound of pancakes, eggs both hard-boiled and scrambled, four kinds of juice, bacon...did she forget anything?
[22:53]	<[huh]Isabella>	I-It's cooold....
[22:53]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Ah... there it is.
[22:54]	* [Tes]Enrica	puts on the tie and then the vest over it, since it makes things easier. She looks over to the door, wondering about the newer arrival.
[22:54]	* [PYG]Victoria	presses her ear up to the door and hears some voices inside. Looks like they're awake already.
[22:54]	<Cassandra>	oh, but Enrica...
[22:55]	* Cassandra	leans her neck closer to Izzy's side, and presses on her skull some more.
[22:55]	* [PYG]Victoria	turns the knob and opens the door.
[22:55]	<Cassandra>	...We will have to talk later.
[22:55]	* Tabitha	snaps her fingers. Of course, sweet pastries! She looks around for danishes and muffins and the like.
[22:56]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Well, I'll ask now: Is it bad?
[22:56]	* Valea	still lies sprawled under the table, though now one hand lies just outside the kotatsu's warm protection.
[22:57]	* Tabitha	slowly manages to arrange everything on a rolling cart. Now to find the residents...
[22:57]	* [Tes]Enrica	moves over to the kotatsu, pulling up the cover to look for Valea. However, this lets in cold air.
[22:57]	* Cassandra	chuckles.
[22:57]	* Valea	flinches at the cold air, and semi-curls up into a ball.
[22:57]	<Valea>	ahh, cold~...
[22:57]	* Cassandra	Enrica: /Sounded pretty good to me last night. But like I said, later. Just the three of us./
[22:58]	* [PYG]Victoria	looks into the room.
[22:58]	<[PYG]Victoria>	Err...Mistress?
[22:59]	* Cassandra	about as wasted as the average fifteen year old drunk, must manages to smile and wave a little sarcastically
[23:00]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Sure thing. Still, I remember your question. Can I be insolent?/
[23:00]	* Valea	curls fully up into a ball now, the continued exposure to cold air in her sleep not aiding her.
[23:01]	* Tabitha	wanders around the empty mansion, pushing the food cart in front of her and looking for signs of life. The hot things are covered with silver domes, but if she doesn't find anyone soon...
[23:02]	* Cassandra	/No. I am having a hell of a hangover. Some things can wait for more reasonable times of the day./
[23:02]	<[PYG]Victoria>	"Looks like all of you did end up sleeping in here."
[23:02]	* [Tes]Enrica	pulls Valea out a little clumsily, figuring the cold should wake her up.
[23:02]	* Valea	seems to sleep fitfully now, the hangover, soreness, and cold all compounding their effects together in an unpleasant symphony.
[23:03]	<Cassandra>	Yeah, looks like it...
[23:03]	* [PYG]Victoria	looks a little relieved that the rest of the mansion staff haven't started their day yet.
[23:03]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Got it. It was a joke, anyway, or a semblance of one. I could probably use the wait myself.../
[23:04]	* Cassandra	/Be careful. Jokes can get you killed this time of day./
[23:04]	<[PYG]Victoria>	"I was going to wake you, but it looks like there's no need. Would you like breakfast this morning?"
[23:04]	* Valea	continues to lay limply on the ground, unaware of the conscious world... although some figments of what may be considered out of this world are restless as well.
[23:05]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Before that, where could I get some water?
[23:05]	* Cassandra	stiffly inhales.
[23:05]	* Tabitha	can't find a soul, not even a noise.
[23:06]	<Cassandra>	Mm... Someone already start breakfast?
[23:06]	* Tabitha	(It's not even that early...where is everyone?)
[23:06]	* Cassandra	asks rhetorically
[23:06]	* [Tes]Enrica	picks Valea off the ground, but leaves her leaning against the ground in part.
[23:06]	<Tabitha>	(Unless...that was alcohol they were drinking last night, wasn't it?)
[23:07]	* Tabitha	sighs, shakes her head, then heads for the game room, expecting depravity within.
[23:07]	* Cassandra	hears all these little thought bubbles way better than she ever wants to
[23:08]	<Cassandra>	Mmn.. nevermind.. it's coming to us..
[23:08]	<[PYG]Victoria>	Oh?
[23:08]	<Cassandra>	Oh.
[23:08]	* Valea	grumbles to an awakening with this extra stress upon her already-sor muscle and attempts to open her eyes-
[23:08]	<Valea>	Ow! ow ow ow...
[23:08]	* [PYG]Victoria	realizes it must Tabitha.
[23:08]	<Valea>	mmm...
[23:08]	* Tabitha	(Honestly now, such young women drinking like that? And when they should be aiding the mansion...)
[23:09]	* Valea	decides against opening her eyes now, after that sample of ocular pain.
[23:09]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Well, seems she's up at least. I sure hope there's coffee...
[23:10]	* Valea	then tries clumsily straightening herself up next to whatever it is that's holding her- (...Enrica...?)
[23:10]	* Valea	stumbles into a half-stand against Enrica's side for a moment.
[23:11]	<Valea>	wha...? where is this? That bed was hard...
[23:11]	* Valea	speaks slowly and groggily.
[23:11]	* [Tes]Enrica	gives Valea a squeeze, but keeps her attention between Cassandra, Victora and the door.
[23:11]	<Valea>	ow...
[23:12]	* Tabitha	finally makes it to the game room. She doesn't bother knocking; they're probably all asleep in there. She enters as quietly as possible, back to the girls inside as she pulls the cart in.
[23:12]	* [Tes]Enrica	notices Tabitha immediately, and turns to her before focusing on the cart.
[23:13]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Morning, Tabitha.
[23:13]	* Tabitha	turns her head. Wait...they're up?
[23:13]	* Cassandra	yawns.
[23:13]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Whatcha got there?
[23:14]	* Valea	's back and being throb with pain, and she keeps her eyes firmly shut while finally standing on her own.
[23:14]	<Tabitha>	"Good morning, Miss Enrica, Miss Cassandra. It is breakfast."
[23:14]	<Tabitha>	"Would you prefer the meal on the table, or under it?"
[23:14]	<Cassandra>	Good morning, sister...
[23:14]	<Valea>	Enrica... Is everyone in her- ah, food...
[23:14]	* Tabitha	says with a hint of sarcasm.
[23:14]	* Cassandra	chuckles.
[23:15]	* Cassandra	then laughs again aloud.
[23:15]	* Valea	is rather slow this morning, in all aspects.
[23:15]	<Tabitha>	"A long night, I assume?"
[23:16]	<Cassandra>	hehehehehe... Oh yeah.
[23:16]	* [Tes]Enrica	chuckles, looking back at Tabitha.
[23:16]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Eh... you could say that. No comment yet.
[23:16]	* [PYG]Victoria	doesn't like the implication behind Cassandra's words with that tone.
[23:16]	* Valea	looks toward the source of sound with closed eyes, but still does not speak. (Wha...?)
[23:17]	* Tabitha	brings a half-dozen coffee mugs out from the bar and begins pouring some hot Joe.
[23:17]	* Cassandra	wants to talk to Tabitha about things, but some things need a little privacy...
[23:17]	<Tabitha>	"You really shouldn't drink like this, Miss Cassandra. It's not good for young people like us."
[23:18]	<Tabitha>	"That goes for anyone here conscious enough to understand me, which I assume is not many."
[23:18]	<Cassandra>	Nope. Just teaching these two my bad habits, I guess.
[23:18]	* [huh]Isabella	smiles and waves.
[23:19]	* Cassandra	sports a grin.
[23:19]	* [Tes]Enrica	shrugs.
[23:19]	<Valea>	wah... (so this is a side-effect of that? Ow...)
[23:19]	* Tabitha	doesn't wave back, but raises an eyebrow at the fairy's size and, once again, lack of clothing. She sighs and looks around for a miniature cup of some sort.
[23:20]	<Cassandra>	You should have joined us, Tabitha. You would've learned things about us you never will otherwise. Heck, you might have even learned a few things about yourself.
[23:21]	* Valea	suddenly stumbles in place, barely managing to catch herself and regain balance.
[23:21]	* Tabitha	responds as she measures a shot glass. Nope, too big.
[23:21]	<Tabitha>	"One learns about things every day. The subject matter often varies in quality, however."
[23:22]	<Tabitha>	"As does one's desire to learn it."
[23:24]	* Tabitha	rummages around inside an old cupboard of odd ends. Perhaps there's a thimble in here somewhere...
[23:25]	<Cassandra>	Isn't that the truth...
[23:26]	* [PYG]Victoria	sees breakfast on the cart decides to assist Tabitha, placing the plates of food on the very short table.
[23:26]	* Valea	, still slightly dazed and out of it, ignores the conversation.
[23:26]	* Cassandra	touches the trolley, then waves an open palm around until she finds a heat source. Slowly inspecting with her hand, she touches the edges of what must be a coffee or cocoa mug, and takes it.
[23:26]	* Tabitha	returns with some little plastic thing that looks enough like a cup. Might have been a game piece at one time. She returns and sets it on the table for Izzy, then goes back to dishing out the food.
[23:27]	* Cassandra	. o ( what is she doing... )
[23:27]	* Valea	smells the food, however, and decides to take a big whiff to see just how delicious it is.
[23:27]	* Cassandra	blows on her coffee, and takes a drink.
[23:27]	<Valea>	ooh, that smells good.
[23:28]	* [Tes]Enrica	prioritizes the coffee over the food, walking over to it and picking up a mug.
[23:28]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Is there sugar, Tabitha?
[23:28]	<Tabitha>	"Indeed."
[23:29]	<Cassandra>	mmm... just the way I like it...
[23:29]	* Tabitha	puts sugar and cream next to the coffee pot.
[23:29]	* [Tes]Enrica	pours some cream into the coffee, and adds three times the sugar as one would usually. After stirring it, she downs the cup in one go.
[23:30]	<Tabitha>	"Considering your state of dress, sister, I can only assume I would be 'learning' things better suited for my mother to teach me. Not you."
[23:30]	* Cassandra	. o ( Good job, Tabitha, you're just as fucked up as I am. No wonder we're sisters. )
[23:31]	* Valea	rubs her head with one hand while she blindly holds one out in front of her while walking to the cart.
[23:31]	<Tabitha>	"But I digress."
[23:31]	* Cassandra	contemplates that thought over her black coffee. It's frighteningly true...
[23:33]	<Tabitha>	"Miss Isabella, would you prefer coffee or something else this morning? I'm afraid I don't yet know a fairy's tastes."
[23:34]	<Cassandra>	Oh, she doesn't have any. Just give her something filled with sugar and she should be fine.
[23:34]	* Valea	continues plodding forward slowly and blindly, not knowing how close she is to the cart.
[23:35]	* Tabitha	nods and carefully drips out some apple juice into the plastic "cup". She sprinkles some sugar in there for good measure. So hard to prepare a drink in a half-inch cup.
[23:35]	* [huh]Isabella	nods.
[23:35]	<Valea>	right here? no...
[23:36]	* [huh]Isabella	takes the glass and drains it in one go.
[23:36]	* Valea	takes a few more steps and feels the edge of the cart against her hand.
[23:36]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Oh, man. I guess I feel a little better now.
[23:36]	<Cassandra>	uh huh...
[23:36]	<[huh]Isabella>	Er, are there seconds?
[23:37]	* Valea	looks back to where Enrica's voice came from, her eyes yet still closed.
[23:37]	<Valea>	What'd you have?
[23:37]	* Tabitha	smirks for just a fraction of an instant. That little sprite...
[23:37]	* Cassandra	drinks slow, but consistently. Keep the heat going.
[23:37]	<Tabitha>	"There is indeed, Miss Isabella."
[23:37]	* Tabitha	refills the fairy's cup.
[23:38]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Hm? Oh, just some coffee. I'll be adding more sugar into my next cup, though.
[23:39]	* Valea	turns back to the cart.
[23:39]	<Valea>	ah, thanks...
[23:39]	* [Tes]Enrica	refills her cup, then adding five servings of sugar and the usual amount of creamer. Again, she has it pretty quickly.
[23:40]	* Valea	fishes around for the aura of something warm, eventually grabbing a cup.
[23:40]	* Valea	remains still for a few moments then, ans she cannot see the sugar and doesn't want to open her eyes.
[23:41]	* Tabitha	starts to feel the chill creeping up her pale fingers. She tries to alleviate it by kneeling down next to the kotatsu and dishing various foods onto plates.
[23:41]	* Cassandra	eventually empties her cup, setting it down for a moment. She yawns once more, stretching her arms out in the air.
[23:42]	* Valea	risks opening her eyes for an instant to find them and does, although she is given a nice flare-up to her headache in return.
[23:42]	* [PYG]Victoria	takes her breakfast slowly, her attention mostly focused onto the book now being held open in one hand.
[23:42]	* Valea	then adds some sugar to her coffee, and sips at it.
[23:43]	* [huh]Isabella	drains her glass again.
[23:43]	* [Tes]Enrica	seems more awake and a bit better, and sits down to work at her breakfast. Movement has to start somewhere, but she also has to follow through.
[23:44]	<Valea>	ah, bitter...
[23:44]	<Cassandra>	Sheesh... Alright, ladies, listen up. Few things I want to do today.
[23:45]	* Valea	then sits down at the table and eats her breakfast without complaint, feeling a little better. She consistently keeps her eyes open now, though some light throbbing remains in the back of her head.
[23:45]	* [Tes]Enrica	looks up at Cassandra, curious to hear her plans.
[23:45]	* Tabitha	turns towards her sister attentively.
[23:46]	* Valea	raises her head up from her meal to look at Cassandra as well.
[23:47]	* Cassandra	realizes a quandary. hurm.
[23:48]	<Cassandra>	First, we're gonna eat our breakfast. We're already doing that, so it's like we're ahead of schedule. You all make me so proud. We'll get to the rest after we finish that.
[23:48]	* [Tes]Enrica	tilts her head. Was that a joke?
[23:49]	* Cassandra	makes no indication, and starts eating whatever she can easily find.
[23:51]	* [huh]Isabella	begins eating as well, trying small bits of everything.
[23:52]	* Valea	eats ravenously though at no greater pace than normal.
[23:54]	* Tabitha	feels guilty eating at the same time as her mistress. It doesn't feel right. But a girl's gotta eat, so she munches on a few things.
[23:54]	* [Tes]Enrica	shrugs and eats with relish, wondering just how assertively she'd have to go at it for it to be violent.
[23:56]	<[GM]Mary>	And after a nice breakfast!
[23:56]	* [huh]Isabella	is looking at the apple juice pitcher, then down at her empty vup.
[23:57]	<Cassandra>	Mm... That was pret-ty good, sis... (man, it's still quite a thing to say that)
[23:58]	* Valea	at this point is *not* feeling like an anvil just dropped on her head.
[23:58]	* Valea	nods.
[23:58]	<Valea>	It really was.
[23:59]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Well, I seem to be feeling better. So, now, Cassandra, what did you have in mind?
[00:02]	<Cassandra>	Hmm.
[00:03]	<Cassandra>	I don't know about you, but I could use a bath.
[00:03]	* Valea	nods in agreement. (For some reason, i feel a little...weird...)
[00:03]	<Valea>	That's a good idea.
[00:05]	* [Tes]Enrica	stretches her arms.
[00:05]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Well, sounds good. I'm in.
[00:05]	<[huh]Isabella>	Bath~
[00:05]	<Tabitha>	"Might I postpone my bath, sister? I'd like to start cleaning those rooms we discussed last night."
[00:06]	<[huh]Isabella>	Ah, don't say that. Nothing says family bonding like a bath!
[00:07]	* Valea	covertly steals a glance at Enrica, her mind and breath still.
[00:08]	<Cassandra>	Yeah, that's another thing I want to do. When we get done, I want you guys to clean up the place, figure out which doors are locked, if anything's broken or missing, whatever might have happened to this place in my absence. Tabitha... You and I still have things to discuss. They can still wait.
[00:10]	* Valea	passively notices Cassandra's speaking, but is primarily concentrated on her thoughts... (Last night it was... nice to be by Enrica, but i wonder... )
[00:10]	<Tabitha>	"Sister...if it's important, we should discuss it now, now later."
[00:13]	* Valea	continues looking at Enrica out of the corners of her vision as she continues with breakfast.
[00:13]	* [Tes]Enrica	gets a strange idea out of nowhere, and wanders off to the phonograph while listening for further developments.
[00:14]	<Cassandra>	Sorry. I don't mean to wave the issue in front of you, but I assure you, it isn't going anywhere. Come with us and relax a little bit. Thinking about all this stuff with the family... It'll be the death of you, if you don't take it a day at a time.
[00:14]	* Tabitha	tries to express her feelings as plainly as she can.
[00:15]	* Valea	becomes a little curious. (...What's she doing?)
[00:15]	<Tabitha>	"My family is all I truly have in this world. It'll be the death of me the longer I wait to know the truth."
[00:16]	* [Tes]Enrica	looks over the records, taking a glance at each one, but letting her sight return to the table at intervals.
[00:17]	<Tabitha>	"I know the truth is here. It must be here. I just need to look..."
[00:17]	* Cassandra	shakes her head.
[00:20]	* Valea	miscellaneously ponders. ( I wonder what other truths are here? )
[00:20]	* [Tes]Enrica	stops and looks over a few records, with a wistful smile. She chuckles, before walking back to the table and resuming breakfast.
[00:20]	* Valea	quickly refocuses on her plate.
[00:20]	<Cassandra>	Searching for the truth...
[00:21]	* Cassandra	. o ( is what killed our father. Who am I kidding... )
[00:26]	<Cassandra>	...Just be patient. I'll answer any questions I can, for you.
[00:27]	* [PYG]Victoria	is quietly listening to the others talk, taking a sip from her mug before returning to her plate to finish off the rest of the meal.
[00:27]	* [huh]Isabella	is waiting for the mentioned bath time.
[00:28]	* Tabitha	grits her teeth. It's hard to accept, but...yes, patience is important.
[00:29]	* Valea	finishes up her food. (Yes... it'll take time.)
[00:29]	* Valea	steals one more quick glance at Enrica.
[00:29]	<Tabitha>	"...Very well, miss."
[00:29]	<Cassandra>	Good. Will you be joining us?
[00:30]	* Cassandra	smirks.
[00:30]	<Cassandra>	...That is, if no one here's shy.
[00:31]	* [Tes]Enrica	smiles, and nods.
[00:32]	* Tabitha	is rather conflicted. The bath last morning was a necessity, but this...
[00:32]	* Valea	puts a finger to her lip, slightly worried.
[00:33]	<Tabitha>	"I...really could be using my time better than that, Miss Cassandra."
[00:34]	<Cassandra>	Oh, sister, sister...
[00:34]	* Cassandra	gets up, and starts off for the door.
[00:35]	<Cassandra>	One day, I'll teach you what some good, hot water can do for you... But do as wish.
[00:39]	* Tabitha	looks down at her plate. As she wishes...those words again?
[00:39]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Well, where are you going?
[00:40]	<Cassandra>	To take a bath. You can come, if you want.
[00:41]	* [Tes]Enrica	shrugs.
[00:41]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Might as well. Anyone else?
[00:41]	* Valea	rises, smiling (and twiddling her fingers behind her back).
[00:41]	<Valea>	I'll go, too.
[00:44]	* Tabitha	is zoning out into her own little world. This choice...it shouldn't be so hard! But...it is.
[00:44]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Alright, let's go then.
[00:44]	* Valea	's own choice isn't so hard for her, although some of the implications of it are, a little...
[00:45]	* [Tes]Enrica	gets up and follows Cassandra.
[00:45]	* Valea	nods, stepping up nest to Enrica and walking with her.
[00:46]	* [huh]Isabella	rides on Cassandra's shoulder.
[00:47]	* Tabitha	(It's not...not necessary. Waste of time. But, she...wants me to? But why didn't she just say that?)
[00:48]	* Tabitha	(Does that mean I should...if she wants me too? But, I don't HAVE to...)
[00:49]	* Tabitha	(And...what, do, I wish for, anyways?)
[00:50]	* Cassandra	. o ( jeez, just shut up... )
[00:58]	<[GM]Mary>	meanwhile, at a big bath-like room with baths and stuff
[00:59]	* Valea	looks around for some large towels, still fidgeting just a bit.
[01:00]	* [huh]Isabella	is splashing around. When you're three inches high, it's like an ocean...
[01:00]	* Valea	has not yet undressed yet either, notably.
[01:01]	* Cassandra	skins it, taking off what she wore to bed and slinks right in.
[01:02]	* [Tes]Enrica	looks around for soaps and the like first, making sure they're on hand.
[01:03]	<Cassandra>	aaahhhhnnmmmm....
[01:03]	* Valea	respectfully keeps her eyes away from any unclothed and not underwater.
[01:04]	* Valea	then finds a towel, and stops fidgeting a little.
[01:05]	* [Tes]Enrica	, having ascertained everything to be in its place, undoes her uniform and eases into the water having shed herself of it.
[01:07]	* Valea	finds the screen, and moves behind it to change.
[01:07]	<Valea>	I'll be in just after this...
[01:08]	* Cassandra	almost wants to go back to sleep, but she's got some maids to heckle.
[01:08]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Hmmm... That's nice...
[01:08]	* [Tes]Enrica	/So, you wanted to talk, or do we wait before getting to that?/
[01:09]	* Cassandra	smiles, and beams to Enrica: /Read my mind./
[01:10]	* Valea	quickly gets changed, ending with a towel wrapped about herself as she steps out from behind the screen.
[01:11]	* [Tes]Enrica	/That's a cheap shot. Hm... you want to talk now./
[01:12]	* Cassandra	/heh. I wasn't asking, but yeah./
[01:12]	* Valea	then cautiously slips into the water beside Enrica, relaxing.
[01:12]	<Valea>	ahh...
[01:14]	* [Tes]Enrica	relaxes, but voices the conversation to ensure Valea knows about it.
[01:14]	<Cassandra>	Soooo...
[01:14]	<[Tes]Enrica>	So... you wanted to talk?
[01:14]	* [huh]Isabella	is very happy for the warm water after the cold outside air, and swims among the others merrily.
[01:15]	* Valea	smiles, seeing the little fairy paddle along. She still keeps some attention focused upon Enrica, however.
[01:16]	<Cassandra>	Oooh, yeah. So, I hear you two are rotten drinkers.
[01:17]	* Valea	is startled a little by this.
[01:17]	<Valea>	eh?
[01:17]	<[Tes]Enrica>	...Huh?
[01:18]	<Cassandra>	"eh". "Huh". Cut the crap.
[01:19]	* Valea	frowns.
[01:20]	<Valea>	...The sweet drinks last night...?
[01:21]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Yes, they had alcohol, though I guess I realized it after I should have. What of it, exactly?
[01:22]	* Cassandra	Enrica: /I know you know just as well as I know exactly what you did. Though I think Valea might just too freakin' stupid to remember anything, so you might want to remind her very well before I do it for you./
[01:23]	<[Tes]Enrica>	...Tch.
[01:23]	<[Tes]Enrica>	And I still haven't sorted that out... Hey, Valea?
[01:24]	* Valea	is a little confused, and so takes this time to file through her brain to try and remember anything... (I remember a little, like being right on Enrica, and...)
[01:24]	* Valea	snaps to attention, though with a slight blush from her remembrance.
[01:24]	<Valea>	Enrica?
[01:25]	<[Tes]Enrica>	...How much do you remember about yesterday?
[01:25]	* Valea	's heart makes a heavy thump.
[01:26]	* Cassandra	/Owing up sucks, doesn't it? It doesn't have to, though. You like her, don't you? She most certainly likes you. The question is whether or not you're ready to make that sort of commitment./
[01:26]	<Valea>	ah...
[01:27]	* Valea	blushes just a little more, and scoots closer to Enrica.
[01:27]	* Cassandra	smiles, and sits back.
[01:28]	* Cassandra	Enrica: /Should I tell her everything I remember?/
[01:28]	* [huh]Isabella	watches the exchange interestedly.
[01:29]	* Valea	scoots just up to Enrica's side, bumping into her shoulder.
[01:29]	* [Tes]Enrica	starts a little, but seems pensive.
[01:30]	* Valea	speaks quietly, with her head lowered.
[01:31]	<Valea>	...this...
[01:31]	* Valea	then half-turns her head towards Enrica, but then stops and pulls it back.
[01:33]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Valea? Don't worry, just tell us. It's important we know for now.
[01:34]	* Cassandra	observes the tensity here, and sends to Valea: /Do you regret it?/
[01:34]	* Valea	in this cannot muster enough strength to speak out loud, and thus does so through her actions and movements. Taking a deep breath, she nods to acknowledge Enrica's statement.
[01:35]	* Cassandra	plays with Isabel while trying to maintain focus on the other two
[01:35]	* Valea	starts slightly with the sudden psychic contact, but manages to respond. /W-well, it's just... I.../
[01:36]	* Valea	(...kissed...her...)
[01:36]	* Valea	turns her head towards Enrica again.
[01:38]	* Valea	, with her heart beating heavily slowly moves closer to Enrica and places a light peck on her shoulder.
[01:38]	* [Tes]Enrica	gives a reassuring, albeit nervous, smile.
[01:38]	<Valea>	...this too.
[01:38]	* Valea	looks away from Enrica now, blushing.
[01:39]	* Cassandra	smiles contently.
[01:42]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Well, I guess I'm confused. I don't really know how to react or what to think... and I know I have to make a decision and to my extent have the final word./
[01:44]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Still.../
[01:45]	* [Tes]Enrica	puts an arm around Valea, but seems to be partly somewhere else.
[01:46]	* Valea	continues to sit in the warm water next to Enrica, her heart now pumping just a little faster.
[01:46]	* Cassandra	Enrica: /Must be simpler when you're not involved. I'm probably making things complicated just by being here, but still.../
[01:47]	* Cassandra	Enrica: /Oh well. I'm gonna tear it off like an old band-aid. You ready?/
[01:47]	* Valea	at this point in time doesn't seem to be aware of much more than herself, and Enrica's arm around her.
[01:47]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Well, I think it's logical to move it along. I just hope I'm ready for it./
[01:50]	* Cassandra	Enrica: /I hope my meddling doesn't screw things up for you, but here goes~/
[01:50]	* [Tes]Enrica	does her best to brace herself.
[01:51]	<Cassandra>	Valea.
[01:51]	* Valea	, on the other hand, is completely vulnerable.
[01:51]	<Valea>	e-ah?
[01:51]	* Valea	barely looks up to see Cassandra.
[01:52]	* Cassandra	dunks Izzy for a second.
[01:55]	<Cassandra>	Do you... love Enrica?
[01:55]	* Cassandra	Valea: /Don't hesitate. Act on what you know to be true, and forget the standards that the world sets out for you. Forget what I think. Just be free./
[01:56]	* Cassandra	. o ( Well, it's kind of obvious by now, but isn't it more dramatic this way? Sheesh, I'm gonna screw something up... )
[01:57]	* Valea	's heart skips a beat, as does her breathing.
[01:57]	* Valea	blushes very heavily now, as she looks up to Enrica.
[01:59]	* [huh]Isabella	can't breathe...
[02:00]	* Valea	's mind is an intelligible whirlwind.
[02:00]	* Valea	, after a short time though...
[02:01]	<Valea>	...yes.
[02:01]	* Valea	speaks so softly that some dogs wouldn't hear it.
[02:01]	* [Tes]Enrica	's mind is already whirling, since she assumes the same question will be asked of her next.
[02:05]	* Cassandra	Enrica: /There you go. Now it's all up to you. Your next word could make or break this girl. No pressure./
[02:06]	* Cassandra	has since resurfaced Isabel.
[02:07]	* [Tes]Enrica	/No pressure? You can't be serious.../
[02:08]	* [Tes]Enrica	is visibly nervous, trying to come to a decision.
[02:08]	* Valea	waits silently with her heart's speed and fragility.
[02:10]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Oh, of course./
[02:10]	* Cassandra	Enrica: /I can't be serious for very long without going completely crazy. At times like this, I'm only a little crazy. Though I suppose my sanity is relative./
[02:12]	* [Tes]Enrica	/I've been called crazy quite often myself. But still, retreat makes no sense if there has been no righteous counterforce or error... I feel this wasn't a mistake at all./
[02:12]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Y-yeah... me too.
[02:13]	* [huh]Isabella	, having missed the important bit, looks puzzled.
[02:15]	* [Tes]Enrica	still feels unresolved, but doesn't say anything. Nothing is entirely fixed to stand, after all, so this may not be the final word.
[02:17]	* Valea	, hearing this, simply swells inside and hugs Enrica.
[02:20]	* [Tes]Enrica	gently hugs back, but her confusion still hasn't resolved entirely.
[02:22]	* Valea	continues squeezing Enrica happily.
[02:22]	* [huh]Isabella	resumes her usual three-foot stature, and is sitting in Cassie's lap.
[02:23]	* Cassandra	swells with delight as well, and hugs her fairy in the stead of a lover. Or perhaps...
[02:23]	* Cassandra	Enrica: /Congratulations, you're lesbians. How do you feel?/
[02:23]	* [huh]Isabella	takes comfort in Cassandra's presence.
[02:25]	* [Tes]Enrica	/I thought you said the orientation was in two directions. You're poking fun, aren't you?/
[02:27]	* Cassandra	/hehehehe... you wanna know a secret? I never actually did find out that for a fact from Valea's mind. I just said that to try to break her nervousness. Funny how things turn out, huh?/
[02:28]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Guess you're right. Looking at it objectively, it does have some humor to it, eh? I just wish I knew where the hell I was going./
[02:29]	* Cassandra	/Just keep doing what you do./
[02:30]	* Cassandra	/And invite me next time./
[02:30]	* Cassandra	clears her throat.
[02:31]	* Valea	lightens her hug a bit, then cautiously placing a light kiss just above Enrica's collarbone.
[02:31]	* Valea	then returns to hugging, as she was.
[02:32]	* Valea	hums a little to herself this time, though.
[02:37]	* [Tes]Enrica	shrugs at the last comment, and gives Valea a slight squeeze.
[02:37]	* [huh]Isabella	/They're really good friends, aren't they? It's so nice~/
[02:37]	* Cassandra	Isabel: /Yeah.../
[02:38]	* Cassandra	Enrica: /But in all seriousness... Are you really okay with this?/
[02:42]	* Valea	lies happily against Enrica still, too blissful to notice any discrepancies or limitations...
[02:44]	* [Tes]Enrica	/No sense hiding anything from you; I don't know. I seem to be leaning towards a 'yes' there, but I suppose I haven't sorted it out yet... it hasn't cleared up entirely. It's not like I have time, either, so I know I have to decide quickly, but I seem to have an optimistic view for now./
[02:48]	* Cassandra	/Oops. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten you two drunk, listen to you make out, and then force you both into a decision on it the next morning. Yeah, that was kind of hindsight-less of me, huh? Oh well. You can't say I didn't warn you./
[02:49]	<Cassandra>	What do you think, Izzy? You think I'm crazy?
[02:49]	* [Tes]Enrica	/I suppose not, the case mostly rests with me now. Isn't... foresight, the concept there, though?/
[02:50]	<[huh]Isabella>	Not at all, of course.
[02:50]	<Cassandra>	You're crazy.
[02:50]	* [huh]Isabella	puffs out her cheeks.
[02:51]	<[huh]Isabella>	Don't call me crazy like that!
[02:52]	* Valea	chuckles a bit at Isabella's antics.
[02:52]	* [Tes]Enrica	giggles.
[02:52]	<[Tes]Enrica>	And why not? Can you prove you aren't crazy?
[02:53]	* [huh]Isabella	thinks about it, taken aback.
[02:53]	* Cassandra	/I don't know, I only read minds, not futures. Common sense is slowly going further and further beyond me as well... Hell, it already has./
[02:53]	<[huh]Isabella>	But, but, I know I'm not crazy.
[02:55]	* [Tes]Enrica	/I never did think much of 'common sense'. It's just a combination of instinct and societal tradition, if you think about it./
[02:55]	<[Tes]Enrica>	But could you be wrong?
[02:55]	<[huh]Isabella>	And anyway, I'm older than you, Cassie. Shouldn't you show deference to your elders?
[02:55]	* Valea	giggles a little at Isabella's comment.
[02:56]	<[huh]Isabella>	And I can't be wrong.
[02:56]	<[huh]Isabella>	If I was wrong, I would know it.
[02:57]	* Cassandra	laughs.
[02:57]	<Cassandra>	Oh yeah? Well I'm bigger. You should show deference to people who can eat you.
[02:57]	* Cassandra	begins to eat Isabel's ears. Again.
[02:57]	<[huh]Isabella>	E-e-eat me?!
[02:57]	<[huh]Isabella>	Kyaaaah!
[02:58]	* Valea	downright laughs now, smiling.
[02:58]	<Cassandra>	Ooomnooomneeef~
[02:58]	<[huh]Isabella>	Caasiiiee, n-not my ears...
[02:59]	* Cassandra	Enrica: /Common sense isn't as common as you think it is./
[03:00]	* Cassandra	slides her mouth up and down an ear, like an ear popsicle
[03:02]	<[huh]Isabella>	p-please, do-ah!
[03:03]	<Cassandra>	hooo lshens tah hooo noowh~
[03:04]	* Cassandra	uses a bit of tongue.
[03:04]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Actually I'm pleased to hear that. It's relative, too, so I guess it could just be in the end a toy that's clutched for comfort. I think it's best to leave those behind since they impede one, after all, needlessly./
[03:05]	<[huh]Isabella>	Ah, Cassie, stop it... It really feels weird...
[03:06]	* [Tes]Enrica	looks on at Izzy and Cassandra, curious as to exactly where they're headed. They seem to just be playing, but you can never tell with Cassie...
[03:07]	<Cassandra>	Mmm? mm aye goin' too fffasht? I'll shlow down~
[03:08]	<[huh]Isabella>	Mmmmnnn,,,
[03:08]	* Valea	looks at the other pair in the tub, amused yet slightly curious at the same time.
[03:08]	* Cassandra	Enrica: /Hey, don't you have long ears, too? Heh, you better make sure you don't get caught alone in here.../
[03:09]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Heh heh. I guess it's the curse of bearing them./
[03:12]	* Cassandra	/But about common sense... I suppose it's good to have, but it's definitely something to be left behind from time to time. Rules and norms are made to be broken. Of course, your definition of common sense and my definitions of common sense differ, so maybe I'm full of it./
[03:13]	* [Tes]Enrica	/I guess that all that difference does is add to its relativity. Well, what do you think it is, then?/
[03:14]	* Cassandra	/Bullshit./
[03:14]	* Valea	glances at Enrica's ears, then back at Cassandra and Isabella, then back at her ears again.
[03:15]	* Valea	: (...I wonder... but no, that's kinda weird...)
[03:15]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Ha, I don't think the views are that different then./
[03:16]	* Valea	rests her head contentedly against Enrica's shoulder.
[03:23]	* Cassandra	/Now, the real question is, why are we talking about bullshit instead of focusing on the little girls in our arms? Especially you two, since you're the lesbians of the house. You really break my heart, you know? Only known you for a couple of days, and her you are. Funny how things turn out, huh?/
[03:24]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Well, I guess so. Not necessarily such a bad thing, though./
[03:27]	* [Tes]Enrica	gives Valea another hug, but also plays with her hair a little.
[03:28]	* Valea	smiles, enjoying the sensation of Enrica playing with her hair.
[03:35]	* Cassandra	/Nope. In fact, I'm a little jealous. You got everything you want to fill your bisexual desires, while all I get is fairy ears... I wonder what would have happened if I didn't turn Valea's question to you. You were hangin' off of me like a coat on a... I dunno, a coat rack or something. I don't know where I'm going with this. Just tell me when to shut up./
[03:37]	* Cassandra	switches ears, the former now chewed and sucked into zigzags.
[03:38]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Nah, even if you don't know where you're still going somewhere. If you feel you got the short end, though, I guess... well, what were you thinking would have happened?/
[03:40]	* Cassandra	/Short end? naaah. I was tickled to death just to see you two go at it. You know I was like.. two feet away the whole time? It was beautiful, Enrica. Made my day. 'Sides, I wouldn't give Izzy for anything in the world, ears or not./
[03:41]	<[huh]Isabella>	U... Cassie....
[03:42]	<Cassandra>	Hmm?
[03:43]	<[huh]Isabella>	My poor ears...
[03:43]	* Cassandra	makes makes that sucker-pop sound, as she relinquishes the ear.
[03:43]	* [Tes]Enrica	/I'm guessing you used some trick to make us forget you were there, eh? I don't know if I could've done that knowing this. But where does Izzy fall into that? Never said you'd have to leave her aside./
[03:47]	* Cassandra	/Oh, I just want to make sure it's clear I don't see Isabella as a "short end". Go ahead. Keep your lesbian sex. See if I care./
[03:48]	* Valea	, in her resting against Enrica, is blissfully unaware of the mental conversation going on.
[03:50]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Heh, you've misunderstood me. It's not that winding up with Izzy is a disadvantage; rather, it's that... hm, I don't know if I can find a way to put this gently./
[03:51]	* Cassandra	/Oh, come on./
[03:51]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Nah, it's egocentric. Gotta rework it before it really makes objective sense./
[03:53]	* Cassandra	/Oh, come on./
[03:53]	* Cassandra	/Go on, Doc. Blow my mind./
[03:56]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Well, let's go back a second. You said I'd been hanging off you and that you wondered what would've happened, in essence that's partly what I would've done, had you not redirected Valea's question. So would you expect or hope for that to go in a certain direction, in that case?/
[04:01]	* Cassandra	/Let me get this straight. I get you two drunk and spectate on your wonderful sexual encounter and you're only now figuring out I swing any which way? Is the little fairy's ear-sucking thing confusing you or something? And here I thought you were gonna blow my mind. I'm a little disappointed, gotta admit. Must be hard on you normal humans, huh? heh... hahaha.../
[04:08]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Nah, not quite. For me to know something and throw it out are different, aren't they? But this isn't about whether I know your tastes. Rather, it's about whether they were actively connected to your passive or active hopes. Heh heh... Remember, I'm ultimately undecided, so I could still take all your worries away.../
[04:12]	* Cassandra	/I wouldn't recommend myself for any sort of long-term relationship, dyke or not. I can tell you I'd be awesome in bed, though. I have more sexual tension pent up than you can even begin to conceive./
[04:17]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Ha ha? That so? Must say I didn't think you the type at first./
[04:18]	* Cassandra	/"the type"? Come on./
[04:18]	* Valea	notices more clearly the abundant silence and relative stillness of things in the bath right now.
[04:19]	* [Tes]Enrica	has a sort of evil smile.
[04:21]	* Cassandra	replies with a teethy-edged grin.
[04:21]	* [Tes]Enrica	/But this impression's quite different, isn't it? Ah, so let's hear it. Where's your interest, even if there's no real term or string to it?/
[04:21]	* Valea	looks with curiosity between the two, completely unaware as to the smiles' source.
[04:22]	* Cassandra	/Just to have some fun, my friend./
[04:26]	* Valea	looks to Enrica with a curious expression, silently questioning her.
[04:27]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Quite assertive, isn't it? Beauty exists only in struggle. The habit of energy and rashness, the movement of aggression, the double march, the blow with the fist. This 'fun' in itself is quite a worthwhile objective both for and through force, would you say?/
[04:27]	* Cassandra	sighs.
[04:27]	* Cassandra	/Now you're just teasing me./
[04:28]	* [Tes]Enrica	/Oh, as if it's just me./
[04:29]	* Cassandra	/As if./
[04:29]	<Cassandra>	...hey. Izzy. You still awake?
[04:30]	<[huh]Isabella>	Uh?
[04:30]	<[huh]Isabella>	Yeah, a bit.
[04:30]	* Valea	still looks right at Enrica, having recieved no response.
[04:31]	* [Tes]Enrica	/So, Ma'am, what'll it be? Are you making something of this?/
[04:38]	* Cassandra	thinks on it for a moment.
[04:38]	* Cassandra	/I don't know. You're the lesbian. You decide./
[04:39]	<Cassandra>	You ready to get out?
[04:40]	<[huh]Isabella>	Uh-huh.
[04:40]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Well, pretty much. Is there work that needs doing?
[04:41]	* Cassandra	sits up, on the edge of the tub and finds a towel. She then begins the rigors of drying off the fairy.
[04:42]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Valea, how about you?
[04:42]	* Valea	looks up to Enrica.
[04:43]	<Valea>	I've just been here this whole time instead of washing, so if i could do that real quick...
[04:43]	<Cassandra>	Just what I mentioned earlier. I got some things to sort out with that sister of mine... Hopefully that won't take too long. And once you're ready, Valea, we can resume what we started yesterday.
[04:44]	<[Tes]Enrica>	Well, let's get to it then.
[04:44]	* Valea	loosens and releases her hold upon Enrica, drifting a little further away to another part of the bath to wash herself.
[04:44]	* Valea	nods.
[04:44]	* [Tes]Enrica	heads to the edge of the tub and sits on it, proceeding to dry herself off.
[04:44]	<Valea>	Alright, Cassie.
[04:45]	* [Tes]Enrica	/You know as well as I do, don't you...?/
[04:45]	* [Tes]Enrica	/There's no way either of us is leaving it at that./
[04:45]	* Valea	proceeds to use some of the soaps and shampoos assembled to make sure that she's clean.
[04:45]	* Cassandra	just smiles.
[04:47]	* Cassandra	/You're pretty cool, you know? Not because you're gay, but you know, in general. I appreciate it./
[04:48]	* [Tes]Enrica	smiles appreciatively.
