"You can, if only in name. For what reason would you be forced into retirement? Just because you gain a title doesn't mean that you have to give up on everything."
She watched as the Lieutenant rolled over, and her voice took on a more motherly tone. "Now sit up and we can talk about this like civilized people."

Spent my days with a woman unkind,
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start,
Going to california with an aching in my heart.
"It's not just a title - I would be allied with Rome, not Gaia. They wouldn't let me stay."
The Faun sighed into the material. "I would pull my stitches out if I sat up."
Someone told me theres a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane,
Never let them tell you that theyre all the same.

The doctor turned to face Alnette. "Well, milady, you're looking irresistible as always. Can I buy you a drink?"

"Nonsense." she replied in clipped tones, clicking her fingers and casting a very minor stasis spell. "Try it."
"Let me ask you this; which is more important to you? Remus or your career?"

"Thank you, Doctor. You are looking well yourself. Oh yes, I've been meaning to tell you, that blood of yours, very potent. Did you hear what happened to Regal?" Reaching into the drawer behind the bar she removed a vial of blackish red blood.
"She asked me to give this to you if I saw you when she wasn't around." She winked as she handed him the vial of Regal's own blood.
She waved at Alnette as she entered and wondered when she'd seen her last. She looked positively lovely.

"Thank you." Alnette looked at Grey with a smile. "Of course you can." She nodded and looked at him. "So tell me, have you done anything exiting lately? We haven't talked in a while."
She turned her attention to Vii for a moment. "It's been a while," she said," how have you been?"

The Lieutenant sat up for what felt like the first time in forever, though she didn't know why. She looked Lady Emma right into the eyes, finally on around her level.
She mumbled. "... Remus."Someone told me theres a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane,
Never let them tell you that theyre all the same.

"Not really. I've been focusing on lab work, so the participation in the cult war was the first big thing to happen to me in a while." He turned to Vii. "Really? What happened to Regal, and why would she want me to have some of her blood?" He was silent. "Oh... and a glass of fine red wine for Lady Alnette."

"Then you know what to do. But he has not asked you yet, so you have some time."
The rain finally stopped outside, and Emma leaned back against the wall of the booth as she felt a surge of emotion from the Lieutenant, made all the stronger by their shared blood.

Smiling at Alnette, Vii nodded an procured a glass of red wine.
"I'm good now that I am back to my old self. I enjoyed the change at first, you know, but after a while I just missed being me."
Returning her gaze to the Grey, Vii spoke a little more quietly, hoping that only the three of them would hear.
"Well, she drank the vial and then she began showing signs of telekenisis and telepathy, so she drank the rest of it and was able to move nearly anything with her mind for the next two days. She wanted you to be able to see what it felt like to be one of us for a while. She thought you might have interesting side effects like she had."

(( Sorry, this is gonna be a post and go. ))
At that very moment, the Tavern shuddered violently, causing the lights to flicker and pieces of paint fell from the ceiling. A few glasses on the bar counter and tables spilled or fell to the floor. There was a brilliant flash of light outside, followed by a deafening explosion. Shortly thereafter, the jet roar of a Roman bomber flying overhead could be heard.
The Imperator's forces were still at work, trying to turn the tide of the Cult War.

"Well, at least you have been focusing on something. It's better than being lazy, am I right?" She laughed.
Looking at Vii, she nodded a bit. "I know what that's like. I like your outfit, by the way."

"I... suppose."
The sounds of war had never bothered her before this battle, but now she was always worried about her home. And Remus, too. She remained silent as the craft passed by overhead.
As they sat there. For the first time, Kaok realized that there was something different, aside from her injuries. She felt a slightly different sort of feeling in her veins.
"You were there when James helped me...?"Someone told me theres a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane,
Never let them tell you that theyre all the same.

Grey nearly dropped the vial when the Tavern shuddered, but managed to hold on to it and put it in his coat pocket. "Side effects, huh? I guess my blood is the vampire equivalent of heroin. Wait, no, it would be steroids. The blood of a heroin addict would be the equivalent of heroin." He sipped his coffee.
"I'm not sure. I've had some crazy adventures that have spawned from boredom."

"I was,"
Thankfully, her sleeve covered the still-healing incision that the elven medic had made.
Her gown darkened a shade, going from navy to something altogether different.
