Re: The lone hunter- (Colin's thread)
Amelia of course, does not accompany you but mutters something about seeing you later, not looking at you and walking away as quickly as she can. She's clearly upset but at this point who isn't?
Later, in your drunken stupor you find a study to sleep in, lying on a couch, your pack as your pillow. When you finally wake it's hours later and you see a small clock on the mantle of the room that indicates it's 2:58 in the morning. With no windows underground, it is difficult to grasp the passing of the day and you realize, after some muddled, groggy math, that you've slept for well over nine hours! Hunters are always sleep deprived anyway but that combined with that morning's events and your drinking bout has left you exhausted. Even now it's all you can do not to lay back down and close your eyes...You're also feeling extremely hung over, and the headache that splits your head is a higher price to pay than you were expecting.
ooc: Should you get up and look around headquarters you'll find that there's more people up than you'd expect this time of night, but they are hunters mostly, no doubt out doing the good work. The men of letters themselves seem to keep more reasonable hours and you figure that includes Amelia because you don't see her anywhere and should you ask, you're told she's in her room. Food and anything else you may need is provided for you and you can always go back to sleep if you wish. Let me know if you have any other plans that night, otherwise I'll just move you along below, so if something you do conflicts with this just ignore the continuation and I'll edit it later.
Later that morning, at a more godly hour, you are offered breakfast and a bath should you wish it and a young woman informs you that "Amelia is leaving at nine o'clock." You note she says it that way specifically. Perhaps the blonde woman has intentions of leaving without you should you not show up, though it could just be the altercation making you paranoid.
If you head that way, you find her outside at the warehouse stables, overlooking provisions and making sure supplies are in place. The bright sunlight makes your still aching head worse and between that and everything else that transpired, you've definitely felt better...
Amelia, her back to you, wears a new dress of deep violet and a small matching hat with a netted half-veil, every hair in place as always and black leather gloves pulled up to her wrists. As you near you see her black eye is greatly improved. Only the slightest hint remains, indicating she's had some healing done. She gives you the slightest glance, then goes back to her inventory, face completely expressionless. This could be a long day.
ooc: You'll have to do a sense motive if you want to pinpoint her mood. You know how women are ;P
