Liz had spent most of the previous night talking about random things with Cayn.  Their conversation had ranged from magic and history to human customs to fairy tales and how inaccurate they are.  Eventually, though, she felt herself starting to fade.  Bidding her teacher good-night, she made her way back to her room and barely managed to change into her PJs before collapsing into her soft bed. But after what only felt like moments, she's awoken to a banging on her door.<br/><br/>Forcing herself awake, she blinks in the sunlight slipping into her room.  In a gravelly voice, she calls out "One sec..." Stumbling to the door, she opens it and is surprised by the anxious face of Jen.  The naga looks to be extremely worried, almost to the point of tears.  She glances side to side, then whispers "Liz... can I come in?"<br/><br/>Liz steps away from the door and allows the other girl to slither inside.  Jen shuts the door firmly behind her ad locks it before reaching out and forcing Liz into a hug.  "Oh... Liz... I'm so worried.  Brian was supposed meet me after work, but he never showed.  I spent most of the night looking for him.... but he wasn't in his tent and no one's seen him in hours.  What if that lycan decided to get revenge... or what if something else decided to hurt him?!  I know I shouldn't burden you with this... but I figured since he's you're brother, you'd want to know..."<br/><br/>It takes Liz a moment to get everything straight in her mind.  Fortunately, the naga's ranting gives her that time so when the other girl is done, Liz is able to jump right in.  "Listen... Jen.... nothing happened to Brian.  He's fine.  Xy just gave him some money and let him go shopping.  I told him he should tell you, but he must have forgotten in his excitement.  He has someone going with him, and they should be back later today..."<br/><br/>Liz figures that should be enough to calm the snake-lady, but she's caught by surprise when Jen suddenly bursts into tears.  Her worried look is enough to make the naga explain, through sobs. "I... I'm really glad he's safe... I was so scared!  But now.... I look like... like an idiot!  I was up all night... and everyone knows I was looking for him.  Now they all know... that I like him... and... and they're all gonna laugh!"
