Circe's Manor

[Circe]

I can think of three she's been through since she came back.

[Jello Shot Mischa]

Mischa blinks. "Really? I guess I just didn't notice them..." She laughs somewhat embarassedly. "Sorry..."

[Circe]

It's okay, Mischa. You were just trying to help, right?

[Jello Shot Mischa]

Mischa nods. "Is there anything else I could help you with?"

[Circe]

No, that's my only big thing at the moment.

[AmbushCat]

And yet, I can see Lian using that as proof that I'm a coward, or whatever she's saying about me.

I'm inclined to agree with Zapana-chan on this. Since when should you care what others say about you? You're a @$%&$ villain. You shouldn't let others manipulate you like that.

*Elsewhere in the manor, the unconscious Callista's racket hand twitches for no apparent reason.*

((OOC: Doubtful as to whether I'll be able to get on again this evening, so I'll see y'all tomorrow. Cold and pain working against me.))

[Circe]

You want me to just do what she says?

[Jello Shot Mischa]

Mischa shakes her head. "I think Ambush is just telling you to do what you want. If Lian gets bored and tries to pull something on you... well, you've got all of your friends here, don't you? We'll help you out if she makes trouble."

[Circe]

...Thanks, Mischa.

[AmbushCat]

Couldn't have said it better myself.

*Aldonza nods in agreement.*

[Circe]

...Fine, I'll ingore her. For now.

[AmbushCat]

*Aldonza smiles and nods, Amber following suit a second later.*

*In the bedroom where Callista was placed, she suddenly erupts into a coughing fit as she sleeps. The motions jolt her consciousness, and she opens her eyes blearily.*

Callista: What am... did I...ah...ahhh... CHOO! *sniffs* ... ...I feel terrible. *looks around, realizing where she is* Check that...I feel even worse.

[Circe]

*Callista notes one of the maids who carried her standing beside the bed. Not that she's recognize her...* Oh, good. You're awake.

[AmbushCat]

Callista: *blinks blearily, tilting her head to the side a little* The way I'm feeling, I might've been better off if I'd... *clears her throat* Excuse me...stayed asleep.

[Circe]

*The maid nods.* Perfectly understandable. Would you like to rest a little longer?
