Potions and things (Afina)

[Ebiris]

She's still pretty coherent all things considered! "Here," she flutters over to the bed and starts unlatching Crystal's armour off of her, "Let me help you out of that, I think you just need to sleep for a while."

[Anastasia]

"Yes, yes, that would be for the best, but why do you smell and taste like 27, since you don't normally I don't believe, no matter how valorous or not you are, which bothers me quite a lot and I think it should bother you as well, shouldn't it?"

It's easy enough to take off Crystal's armor, at least.

[Ebiris]

"27 was in here earlier, though I don't see why it should bother me. He's got a pleasantly earthy smell for a slaad," Afina says, trying not to get too wrapped up in deciphering Crystal's insensate ramblings as she carefully puts the armour on the floor beside her bed.

[Anastasia]

"Oh, that's good, he's good for you, you should steal him from Hanna and have a nice little lair together and he'd do the farming while you keep the house and the forge, you'd be so cute together," Crystal rambles, flopping back onto the bed. "Meow."

[Ebiris]

"That sounds awfully domestic. Should we have a spare Crystal-room for when you come to visit?" she asks amusedly, sitting on her nightstand while Crystal embarrasses herself.

[Anastasia]

"Oh yes, I wouldn't mind being 27's mistress, or even yours, since I'm so lonely," Crystal sniffles a bit, mood dropping like a rock. "Duty this, duty that, no time for romance, even the Queen's finding time and I'm still alone, I'm going to be eternally unloved and green."

[Ebiris]

"Oh Crystal, all that time trying to push me towards romance and you never offered yourself? If I wasn't such a good friend I'm sure I'd take advantage of you right now," Afina commiserates, reaching across to pat her fellow pixie's hand. "I did see you looking very cosy with a coure in the baths a little while ago, though..."

[Anastasia]

"Bah," Crystal says, before flopping back. She begins to loudly snore, out like a light.

[Ebiris]

That's for the best. Afina folds the blanket over Crystal before she gets up and flutters out of her now occupied room. She'll go check on orders at the forges or something.

[Anastasia]

This goes well enough - and then Elena pops in by you, dressed up like Crystal. "Hi," she says, "Sage Vul'lath wants you in the library."

[Ebiris]

"Excellent, thank you Elena," Afina says, putting down the belt she'd been enchanting. "How is Crystal by the way?"

[Anastasia]

"She's fine, sleeping it off," Elena says.

[Ebiris]

"For the best," Afina agrees. "You wear it well, though," she compliments Elena as she flies off to the library.

[Anastasia]

"Thanks!" Elena beams as you go off. Sage Vul'lath and Elder Magi Tepen are there, having a quiet conversation as you enter.

"It's foolish," Vul'lath says, "The risks are unacceptable."

[Ebiris]

"Vul'lath, you called for me?" Afina asks as she flutters up between the wizards.
