Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aludra was only vaguely aware, somewhere in the back of her mind, that this was really bad, but it was impossible to resist the scent and he was patting her head, so that meant everything was okay now and they wouldn't have to fight after all. She’d wrapped her arms firmly around Haumea and buried her nose into his chest, about as close as she was going to get.

When he moved away a fraction, Aludra actually whined and pouted. Then she stiffened, going completely still as he began draining her energy. His magic was slowly wearing off, leaving her dazed and uncomfortable and growing very, very sleepy.

"… s-stop it." She managed to say but she still hadn't let him go and she couldn't seem to gather enough strength to fight back.

Even as gentle as his push was, Aludra stumbled backwards three steps. She could still smell the scent of magic, even as it waned and so she lingered, swaying woozily back and forth on the spot.

Slowly, slowly, his attack wore off and she was left exhausted. The Chibi still managed a reproachful glare, even as she took another step away. At least she knew now what it felt to have your energy drained.

She made it as far as the opposite wall, pressed her back against it and slid down until she was sitting with her knees pulled against her chest.

"No, you go home," Aludra muttered.

Aludra ignored him as he left, her face buried in her knees.

She would remain where she was for another fifteen minutes before finally pushing herself to her feet. A minute would be taken to check if the old lady was still okay, before she took off towards home. Curled up in her bed, Aludra would spend a long night wondering if she could have dealt with that scenario differently.
