Nalia closed her eyes, calming her breaths and her heart, as well as her mind, beneath his touch. She nodded in understanding, thanking him nonverbally, afraid she might say even more than she’d like. So, she scooched herself closer to him as he had moved closer to her, and just letting herself drift in the peace and quiet of his room.<br/><br/>She must have been truly exhausted, as it seemed it didn’t matter how much her mind raced, it took only a few minutes for her to completely fall into unconsciousness. Her breathing became steady, and her mind became blank. It was the moment of rest she’s needed for far too long a time.<br/><br/>———————————————————————-<br/><br/>Meanwhile, back at the anger rooms hallway, before all that had transpired between Nalia and Axle, Lydia still stood in the hallway in shock, before finally shaking out of her stupor. “I can’t believe she did that.” She said, at first expressionless and unmoving, beneath her breath, then she raised her voice and her eyes took on a look of incredulity, “What is wrong with her?” Lydia turned to look at the door that the two disappeared through, shaking her head. “I swear! It’s like she’s an impulsive teenager and not an adult who needs to run a bar!”<br/><br/>With a frustrated sigh, she calmed herself and regained her composure as she made her way to leave the hallway, but not without taking another glance at the door that led into the room John (<a class="username" data-user-id="5743" data-username="@Briker" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/5743/">@Briker</a>) has fled into. Her brows knit in concern,  but elected to leave it. The last think she wanted was to be held hostage by somebody with a weapon.<br/><br/>Leaving well enough alone, she started her way through the hallway and back towards the lobby, spotting Galen and Dawn (<a class="username" data-user-id="3476" data-username="@tristyn grace tucker" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/3476/">@tristyn grace tucker</a>). With a breath, she put on her customer service smile, though it was difficult to say the least as she really was not in any mood after what she’d just been through and witnessed. Still, she kept her face as warm as usual, “did you two need anything? How may I help?”
