Re: Steel Sky (Adelle/Mind Flayer)
The young girl just didn't seem to want to get up just quite yet it seemed, perhaps her bonk on the head had been a little more hard than she'd originally thought it was. She didn't seem to be in any life threatening danger however, so that was enough for Adelle to leave her alone for now and let her sleep some more, figuring the poor thing probably needed as much as she could get. As Garagan returned with her food, Adelle found herself idly stroking the little girl's hair in a motherly way as if trying to make sure she had sweet dreams by doing so, which the girls would probably notice. Whether or not they commented on it or not though was up to them as Adelle took her food from the large man as he handed it to her.
"Thanks big guy, and alright, I'm sure she needs just as much sleep as she does food anyway. Poor thing probably doesn't sleep very well or very much out there, likely needs to sleep with one eye open and looking over her shoulder at all times," Adelle said as she took her food, her soft spot for children showing itself for the others to see, though she didn't really care all that much since she was among friends at the moment. Hell she figured that the girls would all most likely have done the same thing in her position earlier, probably with Lacri having killed the bastard for what he did to the poor girl because of her regeneration ability and massive strength, meaning she was pretty much unstoppable when she wanted to be.
"To be honest girls... if he'd have threatened to kill her back at me after I knocked her out and stuff, I probably would have let him do whatever he wanted to me so long as he didn't hurt her. Do... do you all think that makes me weak?" Adelle said to the girls just as Garagan brought her food, so he would hear her to as he brought her food out and could comment on it as well as the others.
Adelle took her food and used the coffee table to set it on so she could eat, getting herself a glass of water to wash it down, as she didn't have much of a hankering for anything else at the moment really. When she was done eating, after having savored every bite of the food Garagan had made of course, Adelle would take her dishes and clean them up unless Garagan insisted to let him do it and all that is, where she would sit around with the girls and chat while her food settled, waiting around a bit for the girl to wake up long enough to eat some was mainly what she was doing, as she herself was quite tired. If the girl got up to eat, then Adelle would stay in the living room while she did so, asking if she was alright and everything while Garagan made her a dish of his food and sitting next to her while she dug into her food that the big guy brought her, waiting until she was done to ask any actual questions about earlier.
"I kind of bonked you on the head earlier sweetie, I'm really sorry about that sweetie, but you didn't leave me much choice in the matter, you kept grabbing my gun arm and messing my shots up at that... thing that had possessed you. Anyway though, are you okay? Do you feel alright now? Also what's your name sweetie? I'm Adelle," Adelle would tell the little girl while they waited for Garagan to bring her something to eat if she woke up before everyone decided to head on to bed, asking the girl's name and introducing herself in the process. Though if she didn't wake up, Adelle would ask the others if anyone was going to take a quick bath with her as she headed to there to do so herself so she could clean up before bed.
