Counting the feathers

Though the doctors had assured her there was nothing physically wrong with Nailah, that didn't stop Samantha from waiting in a chair by her bedside.

"Ooph. Où suis-je? Que s'est produit?" she mumbles, eyes flickering open.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 2:21 pm

"Bonjour," she smiled faintly.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 2:35 pm

"Yes, I'm okay." she groans, sitting up. Then wincing and groaning again as the conversational paradox catches up with her.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 2:45 pm

"Don't strain yourself, love."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 2:47 pm

"So they're gone?" Apparently she's not quite back in tune with the 'Now' yet.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 2:48 pm

"Aye. Chased down Yggdrasil."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 2:53 pm

"That's not what you were going to say." she complains, but she still manages to muster a smile. "Everything's still a little... out of synch after a week of living in the here and now."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 2:59 pm

"You managed more than I could."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 3:07 pm

"Desperate times and all that... Is everything under control again?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 3:24 pm

"As it ever is. A few injured, nothing too dire."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 3:30 pm

"And the Lighthouse?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 3:33 pm

"Intact, with Ashlie back in it."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 3:54 pm

"Good." she says, letting herself fall back into the pillow.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 3:59 pm

"Feels good to be able to relax?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 4:03 pm

"It really does. Jumping at every shadow is nerve-wrecking."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 4:22 pm

"At least your feathers are in the right place now."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 4:32 pm

"Aye. And at least I could still fly. I think losing that would have been worse than the uncertainty and anxiety."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 4:40 pm

"It was... unpleasant, aye."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 6:40 pm

"I apologize if I've been avoiding you. The sight of Miss 'Bludwynd' still causes the inexplicable urge to hit someone over the head with, say, War and Peace."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 6:42 pm

"It's alright. I didn't quite feel myself, as... limited as I was."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 6:56 pm

"I will have to admit though, she did remarkably well all things considered."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 6:58 pm

"She didn't do any damage that I was aware of."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 7:05 pm

"So how was the time with only one voice inside your head?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 7:07 pm

"Only one voice, or only my own voices?" She smirked ruefully.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 7:18 pm

"Only your own ones."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 7:26 pm

"Cramped, then."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 7:28 pm

"It is good to be able to stretch your wings again." she nods. "Both figuratively and metaphorically."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 7:42 pm

"Aye. No offense to the poor girl, but I'm not used to keeping my mind in my head."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 8:14 pm

"I would have thought it'd be over-inflated enough to accommodate you." she jokes weakly.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 9:40 pm

"I did have to wash about a pint of makeup off."

"Twice."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 9:58 pm

"She is fresh out of Highschool." she points out, feeling a little bad about bad-mouthing that particular topic.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 10:16 pm

"Fair enough," she smirked faintly.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 10:36 pm

"Just glad no one else took the opportunity to try anything."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jun 20, 2013 12:22 pm

"Then again, there was a storm on the way. Perhaps they realized that."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jun 20, 2013 12:27 pm

"Then they were one up on us for the most part."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jun 20, 2013 12:32 pm

"Harder to see if you're in the middle of it, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jun 20, 2013 12:45 pm

"Certainly. And maybe I've grown too used to seeing ahead."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jun 20, 2013 12:46 pm

"And I doubt Chloe could focus your powers quite that well."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Thu Jun 20, 2013 12:58 pm

"It takes a while to come to terms with it. And that was when it gradually set in for me."
