>About the circumstances that led to you leaving the moon?

>Yeah. She and I've talked about some of the owners I've had in the past, but I've never talked with her about that far back.

>I know it's quite the personal confidence you've shared with us. Thank you. For, well, for being willing to extend that kind of trust to us.

>We may be fighting together for some time, I don't want us to be tripping over secrets later. If the rest of the Avatars and Champions are like that, we probably shouldn't be distracted at the time.

>Actually, not as bad now as you might have thought. You wouldn't want to run any marathons, but you'd describe yourself as more 'tired' than 'exhausted'. Certainly less exhausted than Lily, by the looks of it. Although you might prefer to be at home, and at peace, for the rest of the day, you have energy enough to function.

>Apart from not having to deal with the probably aggravation of Madame Knowledge's attitude, more rest certainly wouldn't hurt any at this point. If for no other reason that Lily seems to need it more than you, and it gives Rin and Reisen more time to chat.

DracoOmega · « **Reply #670 on:** August 17, 2015, 06:48:18 AM »

>Then let's give ourselves a little rest. We've certainly more than earned it.

>Settling yourself in, you lay down flat upon the not entirely comfortable bed. With Rin and Reisen holding their conversation telepathically, the only real sound in the room is the sound of Lily's subdued snoring. Despite the unfamiliar surroundings, and the events that have transpired today, you find yourself with a faint smile of contentment on your face. Being with your friends like this- well, your friends and your girlfriend, that still feels good to say- it just feels right. It is as it should be. There is a sense of peace, of completement, that you get when you're with your friends and loved ones. You think you could actually fall asleep if you wanted to.

>If we doze off briefly, that's probably okay. One of the others will wake us if it's something urgent.

>Content in the ability to truly relax for the first time today, you roll over and shut your eyes, hearing only the sound of your own and Lily's breathing. She is recovering, you are recovering, and Rin and Reisen are bonding now in a new way. These are the good moments....
>The next thing you know, you feel a gentle hand on your shoulder, and the sound of Rin's voice saying, "Lotus?"

>It's hard to say, as this place has no windows, and there don't appear to be any clocks visible from your vantage point.

>"Ya needed it."
>Reisen is currently waking Lily up, with evidently a bit more difficulty than Rin had with you. Anya is no longer in her bed, but there is a large snow leopard curled up in the corner of the room.

>Rin takes a step back to give you space to get to your feet. A bit of sleep did you some noticable good. You might even be ready for a fight now, though taking on another Avatar would be a stretch. You're also hungry, you note, as you set your joints to popping with a bit of stretching.
>Your kasha nods and points one of her tails in the direction of the big cat. "That's her. Said she heals faster like that."

>We filled her in on some of the details, Rin says silently as you put your body through its waking paces. But she kinda didn't want to talk much to us. I think she's still angry over the Satori thing.
>"Man overboard!" you hear Lily yell and mutter at once as she pops upright, forcing Reisen to nimbly evade the blonde's head.

>She did say that she was only out this way 'cause she wanted some space from Kiku AND Satori. I figured that she, an' some more of them, haven't liked the way Kiku's handled things.
>Lily stretches out her arms and wings with a big yawn. "What's for breakfast?"

>"All right, I'm getting up." The winged woman hasn't lost any of her pep, as she springs out of bed with more energy than you did. It'd be difficult to guess she'd just come through a fight, let alone the kind of fight you had. "But when we're finished, we're getting pie."
