Gath sits on the floor, a little shocked at what he almost did.

Goddard gasps for air and sits up, wrapping his arms around his mid section, trying to slow down his breathing.

Two and Kryn fall into the apartment in a riot of giggles and kisses. Aara looks up from her book and laughs when they hurriedly try to fix their clothing.

"Oh...hello Four, Sheik," Two laughs, angling so Kryn can adjust her dress.

"I'd say we're even Kryn," Aara laughs.

"That's part of what I li..." Gath clears his throat and quickly goes back to his drink.

"I hate sand," Goddard complains as the group enters their apartment. "It's in places I didn't know existed! All for some stupid lizards..."

Aara pales and looks away. "I- uh..."

"I myself have learned more from doing and less from books."

"Laughing and saying you don't care about something sounds like someone who's given up..."

"If you don't know the antidote, then it will kill you. I, however, just drank it. In will be sick, go to bed early and have some rather vivid hallucinations, and wake up tomorrow thirsty."  She turns in her chair to look at him. "If you trusted me, you'd believe me."

When Tallyn steps out to check on her, she's sound asleep, curled up in her chair with her book abandoned on the table beside her. Chuckling, her drapes a shawl he's brought across her and let's her rest peacefully. After plucking a few herbs, he crushes them and throws them on the heater, the sharp scent filling the air around her.

Two bristles. "I think that you aren't well yourself, and my lady might have need of me.  She is the reason I'm here."

"Don't bicker like two old women," she groans.
