Who: Anyone.
When: Day 111, Late Afternoon
Where: Anywhere.
What: Mingle!

[ It's quiet, possibly too quiet. Inside the headquarters, the lights are powered down, but the building is still running. If you're leaving soon, you might want to grab things that you might need from the forest now. It's just another day in the jungle with your red lizagon friends. ]

She will.

[ignores the pup's protests and washing his hand in the fountain before heading over to the glass bowl and touching the water within]

Lady you here?

[appearing!

looks you over =T]

Child.

Some days I think you don't even want to keep that arm.

*immediately snorts*

Ha! She called you a child!

...are you really going to fix him? He says he's poisoned too. Stupid fucker.

[cuffs Nora lightly]

The arm's in one piece. Leg's a little messy... and poisoned...

Of course I will fix him. This is not unusual.

[lifting a finger and summoning water from her bowl, it swirls around the wounds, both cleaning and closing them, though he will still find the muscles weak until they have a chance to fully heal]

*jumps back from that water and watches it work... then glares up at Senji, and then at her*

How did you do that? It's not a spell. And why the hell do you keep fixing him if it's not unusual? Does he do something for you?

She's a god, kid. Healin's what she does, and I pay for it.

He is my beloved child. Why would I refuse?

But yes, he gives me power so that I am able, in the form of sacrifices that suit my nature.

...Beloved child my ass.

[cuffs less gently]

Don't be a brat.

You are perhaps the more typical definition of a child, but don't worry. All children grow.

*...you seriously just did that didn't you*

I'M NOT A CHILD! SHUT THE FUCK UP UGLY! I'LL BEAT YOU!!

[punches him in the back of the head]

Shut up for a minute.

[looking up at Dellen]

Wanted to ask you somethin' anyway. Kid's collar, any chance you can get it off? I couldn't get it to cut last night.

It is not too early to begin watching your manners, child.

[headtilt to Senji]

His collar...?

[back to Nora]

Will you let me look at it?

*okay I've been hit enough now that I'm at least not going to shout at you again. Though puppy is going to rub his head and glare at Senji before responding. Tensing hard but tipping his head to let you look*

...don't hurt me.

[not even dignifying the glare with a response]

Why would I hurt you, child?

[reaching out to touch the collar, god inspecting it.

TELL AVIY ABOUT THE COLLAR]

...Cuz you could, and it'd be easy.

*It's made of magic kind of sort of! And tied to his life-force so the only way you're gonna get it off is to kill him. It's mostly there to keep his chaotic magic from spinning out of control and splitting him apart at an atomic level, as well as keeping his soul attached to his Thusia-body. Otherwise, it's not actually affecting his magic nearly as much as he thinks it is*

I do not like to cause harm, if you not threaten my children you are in no danger from me.

[stands back]

I cannot remover it. It is keeping you alive.

*shrugs at the first part, and then looks utterly crestfallen at the second part*

...That's a lie... That's got to be a lie...

I am sorry, your body will tear itself apart without it. There may be another god who could help, but I have no power over this.

*doesn't really have a response to this besides to kind of shut down for a bit, sorry*

[hand on puppy's head]

Thanks for lookin' lady.

*omg actual affection what do I even do with this. Hesitates for a moment, and then leans slightly into the touch*

[nods to Dellen and propels Nora towards the stairs, grabbing the crocagon on the way past]

Come on. I'll show you how to clean this thing up, kid.
