 Messily smearing off her makeup once she got back to the bunkers, Asphyxia shoved her clothes back underneath her bed and grabbed her pyjamas. Scooping up the little kitten which started nuzzling at her, she climbed under the covers to sleep the night away.

 Zaer wondered into the Bunkers, hesitating when she noticed Asphyxia was still asleep. She thought about trying out her expert stealth techniques again but somehow it seemed a bit pointless sneaking up on a sleeping person. Instead she walked over as quietly as she could. Zaer hesitated, she'd forgotten that there wasn't any cabinets near Asphyxia to put the flowers. Maybe the floor then? No, they might get trodden on. Instead Zaer quickly chucked the small herb bouquet (with a small piece of paper saying "From Zaer" attached) at Asphyxia before getting ready to run of.

Half asleep, Asphyxia was just about to persuade herself to get out of bed, when a bunch of flowers struck her in the face. 'Pffft,' she spluttered, picking the bouquet up. 'Wha?'

"Um..." Zaer suddenly realised she hadn't thought about what to say next. "What if Asphyxia thinks I'm trying to assault her with flowers?" she thought nervously. "I... uh. I heard you talking to MK yesterday. And I thought you'd need these..." Zaer tried to explain.

'Oh, so that was you who oh-so-sneakily crept through the bunkers yesterday!' she grinned, sitting upright. 'Thank you, they're lovely.'

Zaer fidgeted slightly. "Yes, I thought I was doing quite well..." she admitted. "Um, anyway. The lavender is meant to help with sleeping. And the other one is for anxiety... I thought it might help with your nightmares."

'That's really thoughtful of you, thank you,' she smiled, getting up and reaching out to hug her friend.

'So how've you been doing? I haven't seen you since the party.'

"Oh, I'm fine thank you. I've just been busy working in Level 2. So, er, that's why you've not seen me." Zaer replied, not wanting to mention her new lab. "Um. What about you?"

'Not much. Recovered from a hangover, been thinking about how to get back to Besadal, and helping MK out with s**t really.'

"Besadal?" Zaer tilted her head, trying to remember where she'd heard that name before. "Oh! I heard you mention it yesterday. It's from your nightmare? Why would you want to go back there?"

'The women there are treated like dogs. Slaves to the men. I was lucky for being adopted, but the others there aren't. When MK and me went there last time, he got some information out of one of the Guardians; there's a resistance. I think he wants to help. Also, my birth parents are likely to still be there. It'd be nice to see who I really am.'

"... That's terrible..." Zaer said. "I-I couldn't imagine living in a place like that. And going back there... no wonder your having nightmares."
