Verita looked up from her seated position and just barely managed a smile that wasn't close to her normal joyful self. She looked and sounded broken, but at least she wasn't gone yet. The kiss of the ashen elf had shaken her, but she hoped it would calm the nerves of the elf, slipping some magic back into the creature to doze her off into her own world. As long as Lillith would be asleep her come down wouldn't be bothering any one.<br/><br/>It was then that Verita noticed the young girl following her, Dawn was going after the elf and she could feel some anxiety fluttering in the heart of the magical woman. She wasn't sure why she had chosen to follow the elf, but Verita wasn't going to let her walk right into the maw of a monster. She knew Lillith would not be the same as before, and that the elf needed some space to return her senses to a somewhat normal and comprehensible state.<br/><br/><span style="color: Teal">''I'm fine Donchen, don't you worry about me''</span><br/><br/>She muttered softly, pinching a cheek of the Vulpari before stumbling back up and almost running after Dawn into the darkness of the ship. Her eyes were filled with fear of what would happen if she were to late to hold her back. But she could barely make out anything in the darkness of the confined space of the ship below. Each step on the wooden stairs would make the wood creak and alarm Dawn that she was coming. Her breath was ragged and her hands trembled as her fingers found the girls shoulder.<br/><span style="color: Teal"><br/>
''I wouldn't go there if I were you.''</span><br/><br/>She whispered her words softly, hoping that the elf who was further down at the other end of the ship was not able to hear them talk in here.<br/><br/><span style="color: Teal">''I can explain what happened to her. It's my fault she is in this state right now. Would.. would you like to have a drink with me, in the cabin here?''</span><br/><br/>Verita looked around over her shoulder and could make out a door on their right. Through the battered creaks of the wood they could see a strip of moonlight. It was some sort of captains cabin, most likely filled with maps and other valuable stuff that was needed on a travel on the ocean. Verita did not doubt that there would be some rum, and rum, even though she had never drank alcohol before, sounded like a welcome relief from the horrors they had experienced this night.<br/><span style="color: Teal"><br/>
''There might be some rum. All pirates drink rum, and I think we've pretty much, kind of stolen this ship. So it would be a shame if we wouldn't drink on our health right? Come, Dawn. Let's forget this night for a few moments, and let's forget the danger lurking below. sometimes some things get better when the morning breaks through, and we have still got a few hours ahead of us before that happens. Please..'</span><br/><br/>She was begging her now, her hand falling limply beside her as she licked the remaining blood from Ashy's kiss of her lips. It would definitely be good to drink that foul taste away, and do something about that strange lingering heat that had been pooling up inside of her gut. She couldn't place it, although she thought it might be fear. She had felt the same feeling when the fey's had captured her in the trees. Verita gently placed her hands on the hardwooden handle of the door and pushed it open without making too much sound. Looking over her shoulder she could make out Dawns face now, pooling in the moonlight that came from the backcabins windows. She was waiting for her answer, before they would enter the room.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
