The stars aren't right!(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Oleg stands up, laying a hand on Helena's shoulder. "It'll be easier for her to get here unnoticed after the dark. If she is a witch, she'll be able to take care of herself, and the church is already keeping an eye on me, so I can't do anything before the night."

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena put a hand on his own, and turned to look him in the eye. "You have No Idea, how far I went to help this woman last time, I wont lose her again, I can't"

Turning away, Helena left the house and headed back towards the Inn, eager to talk to Willow and Tom.

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

A lot of people seem to talk about the Event, and Helena can detect whispers of a schism within the church of Lawgiver, even faint as they are.

Finally she gets back to the inn. The common room has a number of people inside, and there's more than the usual amount of suspicion in the air.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena immediately makes for Willow's room, as quietly and as discreetly as possible, looking out for anyone who looked out of place or was blatantly dressed as a papist.

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

There doesn't seem to be anyone of priestly occupation in the inn - not surprising, really. There's no response from Willow's door when Helena knocks, and she doesn't sense anyone inside.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Willow? It's me, Helena, It's okay, I need to talk to you" She says through the door, wondering if Willow was hiding herself somehow, it was entirely possible. While she did that, she checked in with Jasmine as well. *Jasmine, did you take Willow up with you?*

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

There's no response from inside. *She's not here. The innkeeper said that she left before dawn and would probably be back after dusk. Couldn't tell where she went.*

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

*Son of a bitch* Helena swore, heading back upstairs and now worried like crazy. As if she wasn't already. When she was upstairs and back in the room, she looked over at Jasmine. "Well, the fuck do we do about it now?" *You know, since we'll be in stocks all night* Helena was careful to keep the last part strictly mental, not wanting to ruin Cindy's surprise for her.

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Inside the room, Jasmine is relaxing while Cindy is practicing her juggling again. "Well, we could arrange something to call the priests' attentions elsewhere, though I don't think we want to repeat the last one. What did Oleg say?"

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"He said he couldn't help until after dark because the church was already watching him. If you want to draw the churches attention elsewhere, I could always just put on my scary face in public and proclaim the end of days or something" Helena offered, flopping into a chair and interrupting Cindy's juggling by stealing one of the stones.

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Cindy frowns and stops juggling, gathering the remaining three stones to her hands. "I don't think letting yourself be seen like that is a good idea. They have some powerful priests, and they might be able to chase you if you're seen."

"Well, I suppose we'll have to trust that they haven't found her already. Just leave a message for her, or perhaps Cindy could deliver it."

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena pulls down an eyelid and sticks her tongue out at Cindy. "I can Fly. And try chasing someone in a panic induced riot. Regardless, Last resort. Cindy, This is Willow's room, make sure she gets to Oleg's I don't care how."

Tossing Cindy back her stone, Helena orders some food and makes sure to get a full meal in early, odds are she wouldn't be eating for awhile...

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Don't worry, I will." Cindy answers, smiling sneakily.

A serving girl arrives shortly, bringing tea, sandwich materials and some sugary treats. Both Jasmine and Cindy take seats around the table, enjoying the snack.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena eats a couple sandwiches and has some tea before looking at Cindy. "Are you up for some more training? kill some time now that me and Jasmine are both here to help?" Helena asks

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Cindy looks out through the window at the sun's position. "I suppose we have time."

Setting on the bed, she starts preparing to get into the trance.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena moves behind her again and rubs her shoulders much like last time, humming softly. This had helped when Jasmine had done it for her, so why not. Waiting for her to find her trance, Helena fed Cindy power to try and give her a leg up, saving lust again for a last resort.

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Jasmine sits in front of Cindy, and starts reciting the now-familiar litany that helps her concentration. Though Helena can feel the spark slightly stronger than before, Cindy doesn't seem to make any progress before Jasmine gives up and orders them a dinner. Cindy snaps back from the trance and sighs, leaning back against Helena. "That feels all too much like trying to catch a feather with one hand."

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena gives her a hug "I know, it sucks, a lot. But once you get a little better at it, it gets easier" Helena says softly. "Besides, moving stuff with your mind, totally worth it" she teases before tickling Cindy and getting up. Taking her seat back in a chair, Helena waited for dinner and watched Jasmine. Something felt off. Maybe it was just the whole church thing but Helena was nervous.

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Jasmine gives Helena a smile. "I sure hope so. Oh well, there's no hurry, I guess."

The dinner arrives soon: fried salmon with boiled potatoes and a salad accompanied by white wine.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena enjoys the meal, especially the salmon, while she sips on the wine and stares out of the window, not really paying attention to anything but the taste of the food and the view.
