Violence, even well intentioned

[bibliofilo]

Who: Kavi Verma (verbalization) & Magdalene de Leon (bibliofilo).
What: After several encounters with the Blood Key and the return of a certain echo, Maggie is feeling a little uncertain.
Where: Beginning at the LSR Clinic
When: After the earthquake, Dec 11

[Maggie wasn't sure how long she had been sitting in the clinic. It had only seemed like a couple minutes but judging from how late it looked, it must have been much longer than that. With all that had happened out in the streets with Alexa and here in this very building.

Her own hands were stiff and bloodied but they had been tended to and wrapped up. She was shaken and in a haze and wanting to be home. With clumsy fingers she pulled out her phone, attempting to first text but it was much too painful and difficult to manage that. Instead she just punched in the numbers for Kavi's phone and waited, hunched in her seat.]

Comments

[bibliofilo]

I do have some. I think I'll pass this time around but I could get you some.

[verbalization]

Nonsense. I wouldn't dare ask a lady with hands in that condition to fetch me anything.

[bibliofilo]

Good thing I'm not a lady.

[verbalization]

...Hmm. I'm not going to touch that one.

[bibliofilo]

[That drew out a chortle from her and she pushed herself back up to her feet]

But no, really, I prefer to get it myself. Do you have a preference for red or white? Sparkling, fortified?

[verbalization]

[ chuckling, Kavi rolls his eyes. ]

Red, Maggie.

[bibliofilo]

[It's not really anything on Kavi's part that makes her stubborn on this point. She just really rather there be no questions about why she actually has a cellar full of alcohol.

It takes her a while to return but she finally makes her way back with a glass for him. She makes a sweeping gesture]

For monsieur.

[verbalization]

Now who is being far too kind?

[ what he is hoping for, while he reaches to take the glass, is that maybe this will help calm his nerves. and ease the headache that is starting to mount from too much information pouring in. ]

[bibliofilo]

Hush. I'm evening things out. [She settled herself back on the couch, snuggling up against her pillow and curling up on her end of it. It had been such a long day and she was just ready to unwind.]

...how were things at work? Was the school effected much? [Barring clubs she knew most of the students would have been out, but what about the staff?]

[verbalization]

Not really no. You could feel thing shift around, but no one was really hurt or anything.

[ that and there are not that many people that stay too long after that bell rings and all of the kids left. ]

I just wanted to get ahead so I could enjoy the holidays, I suppose.

[bibliofilo]

[That was good to hear. Speaking of which...]

What are your plans for the holidays?

[verbalization]

I thought about visiting my parents...

[ but that option might be off of the table now. he could forget things all over. ]

Yourself?

[bibliofilo]

I didn't have any plans in particular. Mum is out of the states and the rest of the family is in Spain.

[verbalization]

So did you want to plan something?

[bibliofilo]

Yea. That would be nice. Maybe invite Karson and his friend?

[verbalization]

I could at least ask. There isn't a good chance of him showing, though.

[bibliofilo]

Wouldn't hurt. [It was murmured. Closing her eyes might now have been the best idea because now she didn't want to open them, and her exhaustion was finally catching up with her, lulling her to sleep.]
