Deliver us from evil (Jaela)

[Corwin]

"Then having him around is good for you," Jaela says, patting 27 lightly on the head with a smile and heading off to check up on Canderella.

[Anastasia]

Canderella's laid up in bed. She's propped up with pillows, a blanket wrapped around her. She has her eyes closed, playing a flute. Ebony sits nearby, quietly strumming her harp.

> roll 1d20+52 Ebony
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 54 > [d20=2]
> roll 1d20+43 Canderella
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 62 > [d20=19]

The melody is pure and beautiful, Jaela drawn to simply listen instead of going in.

[Corwin]

Jaela listens for Ebony's song, before getting inspiration and leaving as quietly for her quarters as she can. There, it is a matter of moments for her to find Warmth, and it is with the plush that she returns to Canderella's bedside, seeking to leave it there quietly for her.

[Anastasia]

That's the sleep good plushie, right?

[Corwin]

Oh yes! It's name even has an exclamation mark!

[Anastasia]

When you return, the song has finished. Canderella's waiting for you, "I hope I wasn't so out of practice that it drove you away," she says.

[Corwin]

Jaela waves Warmth in lieu of greeting, claiming a seat on Canderella's bed while placing the plush in her arms. "Just realized I forgot something, is all. Say, did you end up meeting my brother while he's here? It seems like he keeps on missing all my friends!"

[Anastasia]

"Yeah, he dropped in." Canderella hugs Warmth and smiles.

"He mentioned he was going out to round up some supplies for Aurora. He has friends that owe him," Ebony says, "He should be back later today or tomorrow."

[Corwin]

"I've been taking care of old promises lately, so that's another met. Glad to hear it! So, was he everything you imagined?"

[Anastasia]

"I think we'll get married," Canderella says, matter of fact. She then smiles, "He's fine, Jaela. Your mother's sexier, though, but he has a charm all his own."

[Corwin]

Jaela snorts. "I liked him, but I'm biased! You'll have to fight 27 for Mom's heart, though."

[Anastasia]

Ebony frowns. "Is that slaad bothering her again?"

Canderella just smiles, "It'll work out," she says, "How's the world beyond these four walls?"

[Corwin]

Jaela gives Ebony a half-shrug, saying out loud, "Much as you'd expect, Candy. Got pulled by force into Elysium but doesn't quite fit it. The parties are a decent effort, though, and I figure it'll turn out alright in the end."

[Anastasia]

"Yes, it will. Alicia and Syala did well," Ebony flashes a ghost of a smile as she bows her head.

"Praying them again already?" Canderella remarks as she lies there, "Never seen what happens to a world when the good side takes it. Is it all happiness and sunshine?"

[Corwin]

"It's still in the honeymoon phase, but yeah, I figure it'll keep on being reasonably sunshiny. Maybe it wouldn't have been on its own, but the world wasn't abandoned after its rescue, so here we are."
