Post-Dia convo

[provenworth]

[Elena has been a touch on the busy side, still acting as the hidden floor's unoffical mother-hen and providing support when needed. Which happened to include making a trip to the infirmary when she noticed that people were returning beaten and bruised to refresh their medical supplies.

After the third load, arms carrying almost to much than she could handle, Elena pauses to rest. And, more importantly, find her family. After an initial sweep of nothing, her stomach knotting in concern, it just so happens that she comes across Dia, who pointed her in the right direction. Which was probably a life-saver for everybody involved before she decided to start flipping people until she found who she was looking for.

Squatting down next to him, she lightly runs the back of her fingers against his cheek, mouth fighting between a smirk and a frown. He looked beaten to hell, but at least he was alive.]

You awake?

[midgarhorizon]

Yeah. Can't sleep, you guys make too much noise.

[Reno lifts his head and squints up at her, giving a full blown pout.]

I heard there was some excitement up here.

[provenworth]

Sorry. Can you blame them? Everybody is excited about our first real success. [Don't you make that face at her, Reno.] Besides, it could always be worse. Be thankful its just chatter.

[And not things like, you know, explosions. Or monsters on the rampage. Her hand lifts to lightly ruffle his hair.]

Once things settle down, I'll take you somewhere so you can get some proper rest, okay?

[Her head nods in affirmation to his comment.]

I wouldn't call it excitement, but there certainly was something. Everybody was suffering some serious energy drainage, especially on some particular floors. Dia and myself and a few others did some reconnaissance to try and figure out what the hell was going on.
