Aftereffects

<sub>Nerys was quite unaware of Cepheid and how much pain his arm was in, but right now she was just waiting for the boys to show up so they could eat. She was hungry! She'd peer at Loki when she said she was doing okay. Daniela was pretty quiet this time. She had herself a mental note to check on Ceph's injuries.

"Me? I'm a nighttime person. I'd rather nap in the daytime." She spoke up. Yep, she's a vampire, sort of. She doesn't drink blood, nor is undead.

"Meanwhile the rest of us sleep at night, like ordinary people..." Selena added, but was silenced by a glance from Dani.</sub>

[Deleted]

<sub>Andromeda zipped up his pants and then put on a simple white shirt, before looking at Cepheid. Right, so... teasing aside, Ceph seemed to be doing okay despite the pain, which was okay. Though right now he'd want Dani to take a look at it. He took a deep breath and then spoke up.

"Listen, Daniela is good enough as a nurse and knows what she's doing. You should at least let her know about these things before you ignore a possible infection." He then added. "I'll lend you some money, though I think Daniela might have some painkillers. I'd rather you buy some disinfectant too, depending if your wound's cauterized yet or not."

He then opened the door, heading outside to meet up with the girls.

"As long as you're healing, things should be fine. Don't worry about the girls too much." He murmured. Andy's been through enough injuries to know this for a fact, but he didn't mention that to Ceph. Right now it seems that food was on the table! He's walk in and lean on the chairs of Selena and Loki.

"Morning, my little rays of sunshine~! Cooked some breakfast, huh?"</sub>

[Deleted]

"Ahh. No wonder I don't see you around as often." Loki responded, realising that the airship probably did need night time attendants for longer journeys, and thinking that Nerys was most likely one of them.

Loki wasabout to take another bite when she felt a sudden looming presence, and pressure on the back of her chair. She glanced to see the morning face of Andromeda And quite swiftly lost her appetite.

"Mornin'." She mumbled back to him. Loki was more focused on food than anything else. Sweet pancakey goodness was all that mattered to her at the moment.

[Deleted]

Didn't you get it Andy? Your brother was an idiot and wasn't sure how to go about asking for help like that! He had been self supporting almost his whole life, so he wasn't just gonna walk up to Daniella and give her something to fret about. He only told you because there was really not chance in Hades he'd be able to hide the pain from his twin.

"Thanks Andy." He smiled, planning not to bring up his wound to Daniella or anyone. He even planned to re-bandage it on his own.

Following after his twin, he was all smiles as he took his seat across from Nerys, watching his twin harass the women.

"Astute observation of the obvious, dear brother. Now fix your plate before I take your share." He was hungry.

[Deleted]

<sub>Nerys watched as the boys came in and started... well, doing what they do best. Be flirty twins. Of course she would start nibbling on her food as Selena looked up at Andy and just laughed. Well, he wasn't much of a ray of sunshine himself with his hair sticking up like that but she didn't mention that!

"Hey, sit down, boys. We got plenty anyway." Daniela shook her head and started gulping down her share of food after serving them all. She'd look over at Cepheid, almost looking right through that shoulder, trying to size it up. Better keep an eye on it. And Godwine too.

"We'll have to get plenty of water for Godwine though. Hope it's not contagious." She spoke up.

"Yeah. The last thing we need is sickness running through this place. Then again it has been a very long time." Selena would munch down on some apples and crepes. "Mm! These are so good! You gonna be Dani's Sous Chef?" She'd elbow Loki.</sub>

[Deleted]

<sub>"Okay, I'm sitting down, bro." Andy would tease his brother. "And I'm picking up my knife, and..." He'd just laugh before digging into his own plate. Man he hadn't realized how hungry he was! Maybe all that exercise last night was too much for him. Oh well.

Of course Dani mentioned Godwine was sick and he swallowed his food. This isn't good, and his intuition told him that the girls would be very grumpy, very soon. Which meant more sickness. Plus Cepheid was injured and he'd probably ignore treatment.

"Yeah these are indeed very appetizing and appealing. " Great conversation changer. Andy would stuff his face once more to scarf down his food.</sub>

[Deleted]

Loki looked down a bit modestly when Selena spoke up. "Daniela did most of the work. I just chopped stuff." Loki replied. Though she wasn't going to be hesitant to lend a hand. She could get used to thid cooking lark.

"We need to get more fruit though." Loki muttered to herself, making mental note to snag some when she could, before taking another mouthful and looking down with a distant gaze as she thought about the trivial things she needed to do.

It was hard to keep focus with the chatter around the table, so she glanced back and forth between people as she spoke, getting the general gist of the news around the table.
Godwine was ill huh? Loki would have to be careful then. She hated getting ill. Loki was pretty hardy to the common cold, but she remembered that horrible time she had fever, and felt very vulnerable. Especially out in makeshift bedsits in Dula.

[Deleted]

"Oh stuff it, Andy." Ceph laughed as his twin narrated his actions. As Daniela went to fix the plates, Ceph reached over the table to grab a pitcher of drink, but it was obvious we was having a little trouble since he could only use one arm. Still, he put up a valiant effort to do it on his own without asking for help.

He turned his attention to Dani as she mentioned Godwin was sick, and almost dropped the pitcher as his focus wasn't on what he was doing. Letting out a small curse, he hopped up and went for a cloth to mop up the mess. "Sorry." He said.

[Deleted]

<sub>Dani would giggle as Andromeda narrated his actions and Loki was being modest. Well she did appreciate the help Loki gave around the kitchen and would definitely teach her to cook. It was fun anyway! And she'd need more help around the place anyway.

"Oh come now, Loki. I appreciate the help~." She smiled and patted her. Nerys would look over at Ceph who was trying to focus on his pitcher and almost dropped it. She'd blink at him and then spoke up.

"'Pass the pitcher, please' would have sufficed, dearest." She said simply. Of course the mention of sickness and she took a deep breath.

"Here's to hoping noen of us get sick, though." She said, and Selena nodded, stuffing her face with food as per usual. Well, at least the food was good and the topic changed.

"We do need to get more fruit, I agree. next town, I guess?"</sub>

[Deleted]

<sub>Andromeda scarfed up his food, smirking when Ceph spoke up. Yep he was indeed stuffing it now. The food at least. He would silently listen to the conversation, eyeing all the girls as they conversed. Okay so Godwine was sick, Loki's apparently helping Dani, which was good, and Cepheid was now having trouble.

"Easy, bro." He swallowed his food. He didn't want Ceph to overwork himself. He'd start up another conversation in the end anyway. They were in Dula right now, well, flying away at the least, on idle.

"We'll head back to Seria. We can get some business taken care of there, and buy fruit and medicine there. Plus if Godwine is sick we can hide out there better than Truesdale or Dula." He'd explain.</sub>

[Deleted]

Loki would take Dani up on that offer. She gently put her fork on her now empty plate. She felt like she had practically inhailed breakfast.

"As far as fruit is concerned, I can probably get in to the orchard outside Dula if they haven't already fixed the fence. Not that they've bothered to fixed it for at least six years." Loki offered. "I know they tend to overstock their goods around this time and cache them in the storehouses to make cider and junk. Though it depends what's in season." she explained, sitting back. "I'd need an extra hand to move some crates around though."

Loki looked around the room, not entirely sure what the general reaction was going to be to that Idea.

[Deleted]

As he was chastised, Cepheid gave Daniela a sheepish smile before putting all his focus on pouring his drink without making a mess. It was a task, but he did it.

He kept rather quiet while he focused on eating, not really in the mood to put in his two cents on the whole matter. He'd let Andy call the shots here.

He did look up when Loki suggested robbing an orchard. Well, if they did that, he'd be no help, expect maybe as a watch, but even then, he wouldn't be able to move that fast...

Damn, he'd have to find something productive he could do with only one arm for the next few weeks.

[Deleted]

<sub>Dani tapped her chin. Those Dulan orchards were actually pretty good, might be a good idea. She'd look over to Selena and they nodded at the plan too. Okay so that would work out for them. Now would be the lovely process of not getting in trouble with Dula.

"Sounds like a plan. We can rob by nightfall, even if it'll be hard to see the ripeness of the fruits. We can sell some, even!" Free money! Yay!

Selena nodded, though Nerys herself nodded, absentmindedly, gazing at Cepheid. What was he thinking? Plus... could he handle his arm issues now? She wasn't sure how much he'd approve of their little stealing sessions and bounty hunting. Plus... she wanted to spend some more time with him. Alone. Without Dani banging on their door and interrupting them.

"Well I'm done." Selena yawned, finished with her food and looking at the others.</sub>

[Deleted]

<sub>Andy would scarf up the rest of his food and listen to the girls and their plans. Ceph was quiet, and so was Nerys, but he didn't bother with what was on their mind. Swallowing the last of his meal, he looked at each of the girls as they spoke up.

"Orchards. Got it. Sounds like a plan. We'll pop by Dula at some point to take care of that. I think peaches are in season now? I forget." He didn't know the fruits and what seasons they were in, and what was stocked or not. Oh well.

"Well I guess that's a wrap. Great breakfast, you two." He chuckled.</sub>

[Deleted]

Ah, wonderful. Everyone liked her Idea. It was going to be a challenge to plan it with a lot more people on board, but in the end, the extra hands would make it a much smoother operation.

"Okay. An evening heist seems pretty fun. Though I warn you, last time we tried that we ended having a broken nose because someone tripped over a root." Loki warned. Not saying who though...

Yep. She'd start planning this out immediately.
