Who: Ilde Decima and Hasi; OPEN
What: The water helps her.
Where: The Gross Tar; initially near her waterfall territory in Raven's Gate, after that various areas.
When: Givdi with Hasi; open after that through Shundi.
Notes: Specify time/place (if not Raven's Gate) if you tag in, please!
Warnings: Descriptions of LM:A-related horrors to follow in the thread with Hasi; discussion of rape & related fall out in thread with Jae.

When she finally goes down to the water, it feels so good that she hates herself for a moment sliding in, her clothes on the bank under an illusion. It soaks into her skin like she belongs there and she's glad that she got there first, that Hasi isn't there yet, because sinking into it hurts a little and it's-- not anybody's business what internal conflicts she's having. She just died. She's allowed to feel...whatever this is that she's feeling, and whatever it is she's going to feel it at the bottom of the river for a while, her tail catching light as it flicks up before she dives.

She'll surface, eventually.

Jae nods, and gives her a smile - it's subdued, and a little forced, but not disingenuous. He does want her to feel better, and he does feel hopeful about this, even if he's really, really making himself feel that way. They're going to figure it out, and right now, Ilde and Megan both need somebody to be calm and get answers. He will do this.

"I'll see you."

He cuts the connection, takes a few deep breaths, and then heads out. He's got an idea where to go, and he's not going to waste time. (He can deal with one earring.)

When he's already on the el train, leaning against a window, he pulls his CiD out again, and sends off a message:

You're really pretty.

Before he pockets it again, and gets off at the next stop.
