if i'm far from home (brother i will hear you call)

[necromanswers]

[The following mass message goes out to everyone in town this morning with no warning at all to the relevant parties who work at the cafe (sorry, folks).]

Taako's gone back to Faerun.

Affurgato's closed for a while.

[She does hesitate, just for a moment. Considers saying more, but... nope. That's all the public gets from her today. Back to the blanket nest with her. She might respond, but no promises she'll be pleasant conversation.

True to her word, the cafe Affurgato is locked and temporarily closed, and will remain so for a while.]

Right... thanks.

[She closes her eyes, forcing herself towards a trance; she doesn't trust her mind to treat her kindly should she sleep right now. Before she drifts, though, she murmurs,]

You'll be here?

[It's an empty request, she knows. No promise in the world could keep them here if the forces that brought them in chose to steal them away. Still... she needs to hear it. The truth can fuck off for a while.]

[shroudedsecrets]

[ And there it is. All she can but do is offer a reassuring squeeze, the promise far deeper than anything these gods might try and do. ]

Rest, Lup. I will be here.

[Lup hesitates a few moments more, then nods and settles into her trance, slumping as if asleep immediately. She won't move for a while, as long as Honerva doesn't- it's warm and safe here, and there's bliss away from consciousness.]

[shroudedsecrets]

[ Honerva watches, eyes soft as Lup shifts to trance, but mind ever heavy before settling into a more comfortable position herself, trying to will herself over to some sort of rest so as not to disturb her, focusing on the present.

She's right where she needs to be. ]
