The empty apartment would be filled with a wooshing sound and then the frantic preparations of bedding and whatever else Janus might have needed to patch up Melanie. Too bad they didn't have a bishop on their side. Soon Janus was standing over the young pawn dabbing her forehead with a damp sponge. The water had been infused with some kind of sweet smelling herb which would work as a sort of ether to stabilize the dreams of the fevered patient. With the other hand she was cleaning wounds made by the clumsy tail.
"You're more trouble than you're worth, you know that?" She whispered.
Melanie Du Coteau Sacred Gear:Vritra's Tail: Devil's spine.
Stealthy, strong, long reach and flexible. The black dragon's tail was one of it's many deadly assets. The tail itself is a wonderful yet terrible weapon. You see, the tail feeds on the host's spine until it completely devours it and takes it place. This not only grants the bearer full use and potential of this gear, but if the tail breaks... well you may get an Idea of that would happen to your body.
It it said that the tail holds a personality of it's own, vicious and vindictive, it requires constant dotting and spoiling to keep it at bay. Legend tells Vritra made people squirm and screech their lifes out of their lungs to ease it's tail and lead it to a tranquil slumber.
Melanie would be forever grateful with Janus, but on the meantime at least her face appeared to have found tranquility as the fever was controlled by Janus's treatment.
As she whispered, Janus would see the faint hint of a smile on the redhead's face. Her vitals finally starting to stabilize. The tail was frail at the moment and wasn't dumb enough to go out with the rook waiting 24/7 on it. And thus it kept nourishing itself from the girl in recovery.

Janus could piece together an image of a contented smile given the strength at which the muscles in Melanie's face tightened in certain places. It was enough for her smile back at the unconscious redhead. "You know, for a pain in the a**, you're kinda cute. ... Still don't know why Lilith picked you, though." She shook her head and went off to fetch one of those kooky little heat blankets fashioned form one of those even kookier pheasant's feathers. This was meant for her ribs, and while it wasn't as potent as the Phoenix tears it would prove an apropos supplement to the girl's newfound demonic healing factor.
"... Wake up smarter." With that Janus would leave Melanie to rest for as long as it took. She had plenty of things to do: namely getting herself back on the computer to log a couple entries in her individual quota. There was also journaling, something she'd picked up to cope with certain troubles in her life shortly after Lilith had taken an interest in Kuoh. She wasn't very good.

After a few hours, Janus could hear motion sounds on the place in which Melanie's body rested. Apparently she was tired of sleeping on the same position, but it was a good sign she had enough strength to move a little in seek of some comfort.
Hours later, she was mumbling something, but it wasn't anything that could be decoded.
Finally after 8 hours, there were once again noises in the place in which she rested, and soon after the soft sound of feet would approach on Janus's direction.
Covering her silhouette with some blankets, Melanie walked by the rook's apartment, trying to get any clue of where she currently was. It wasn't until she spotted Janus that she felt safer.
"O-oh... good evening... or is it morning?"
Melanie commented as she apparently had lost track of time.

Janus had decided as soon as she heard what sounded like healthy sleep in the other room to take a nap herself. She woke up a few hours before Melanie and began plugging away at her soul quota again. This was something that only the admins: Lilith, Lamia, a few others to be named a lauded later, and Janus her/himself had access to. One day Melanie, obviously, would find herself logging on to track her numbers: souls obtained, capture rate, prospects; it really went in depth, and would prove to the newbs that being a demon didn't have to be all about brute strength.
"Hey!" Janus said surprised more to see Melanie up than by her arrival. "You look better... Though that isn't too hard. How do you feel?" For whatever reason Lilith didn't want Melanie finding out about the network just yet so Janus had her Faceboard open for the young Succubus to see. The GoD picked up her cooling coffee and took a sip of its mediocre liquid. "There's a pot still warm, if you want any."

Melanie would join the demoness onto her busy schedule, unaware of the private network, she only took a quick glance of Janus's faceboard. "Yes, much better... I don't know what happened or who attacked me... but all I can tell is that you saved me..." Melanie said with a soft smile before her arms would wrap around Janus, giving her a tender hug while Melanie rested her head against her shoulder. "Thank you.." She whispered.

"Oh, yeah... Of course." Janus said taking Melanie's wrist in hand. It was like having a stray cat come back to you! She continued typing a status update and pressed enter. That was close...
Janus' computer was interesting in and of itself; any blind person's visual aids were. There were several helpers there to facilitate Janus' use of the primarily visual exercise: braille keys; all equipped with the capability to deliver a light shock to Janus if she missed a wrong key; which of course was determined by a little machine programmed--painstakingly--to recognise patterns common to the user to sift for errors, and a palm rest which delivered a series of variant pulses which Janus' sonar-tuned brain could read as a screen. The screen was for show. If Melanie looked she could tell these things and that her sempai was in fact blind as justice, or love if you'd rather.

Melanie appeared to be confused by Janus's reaction, but she quickly returned to her gentle smile. "What are you doing?" She asked out of curiosity while she sit by the demoness side. She really wanted to peak but her sight was actually really tired, so, her field of vision was really limited. That's why she had to be that close to Janus in order to feel comfortable since just a little further and she would only see a blurry silhouette. Sadly for Janus, that would mean Melanie became a guest within the field of Janus's personal space. "Is Setsuko sempai alright?" She asked now, making remembrance of her last moments at the mall before running away. "Is Lilith alright?" She questioned once more. Genuinely worried about her friends.

"Oh... Yeah, looks like you caught me." Janus had a priceless look on as she said this. "I'm a secret blogger." She flipped back to the tab where her little sidehobby laid waiting for the GoD's enchanting keystrokes to return. "So, yeah... Kind of embarrassing."
"Setsuko is fine. She was smart enough to get out of there right away." Melanie brought up Lilith much to the surprise of the GoD. "Lilith? Yeah, she's fine... Why?" What Melanie didn't know was she could literally go check up on her a few yards down the hall. "Are you sure you feel ok? You were pretty messed up out there."

"Well last thing I remember I saw Lilth san across the street but something dragged me to the alley before I could even call her... then everything went black" Without realizing she was clinging onto Janus's clothes and shivering while she made memory of it. "All I can remember is that I experienced pain, a different kind of pain after the other..."

"Well, I'm not sure what you saw, but Lilith's fine. She told me her day was tedious but otherwise safe as could be. But that's not the issue right now." Janus paused to let Melanie gather some mental strength. "... What happened out there? I need to know what you felt."

As Janus confirmed everyone was safe, Melanie sighed in relief, feeling better now that she didn't had to worry about her new family being hurt. However, that look of concern went back into her eyes as soon as Janus asked her about what happened. Melanie held tightly against the demoness, as if she was hesitant to talk, but she would, she trusted Janus, anyone in the house actually. "I felt...good... but only at the start" She commented, Janus could feel her trembling. "It was like a gentle embrace, I couldn't react to it, It was like I was being handed carefully off my feet, before some brute force took in and dragged me away into the alley." Melanie sure didn't like the memory, but surely Janus may have a reason for asking, and she may be able to help her if the redhead told her as much as she could. "First, it would bind my limbs, then something wrapped around my body and strangled me until I had just enough air to remain conscious...It took its time trying to figure how much pain could he or she inflict to me, but I was breathless and I couldn't scream for help... it was awful"

"Oh... That sounds terrible." Condolences were nice every now and then, but a person shouldn't be so reliant on them; the main shaper in Janus' flippant attitude most the time. She's really messed up... I guess this is how people are when their first time comes around. I never saw Lamia act like this...
Janus wrapped her arm around Melanie upon feeling her shuddering and pulled her into an embrace of her own. She could feel, if nothing else, potential in Melanie. The way humans used some of that nervous energy to catapult themselves to unparalleled levels, it was quite the prospect.
"Hey... I'm here now. The house is here for you. We stick together. Lilith actually wanted me to tell you to just try to live like a normal person for a while; forget all this happened." That was the whole to the part of Melanie not figuring out the quota, for whatever reason other than data gathering is unknown--or was it a part of a greater whole? That may depend of Melanie's actions as well.
"I'm just glad you're ok. You know if you need anything Aunt Janus will help." Aunt Janus? ... Oh boy.

Melanie felt safer from the very moment she woke up and found Janus. The people in the house in general made her feel that way. Ever since Setsuko used that strange mark on her, Melanie had changed. Even her voracious apetite for skin contact was greatly diminished. Instead, she actually looked quite human, taking the rampant gear aside.
So, when Aunt Janus held her within her arms, the redhead smiled, letting a few tears of happiness fall from her eyes when the black haired demoness told her she could rely on her. Leaning against Janus's shoulder, Melanie closed her eyes and let herself be taken by the moment. Trying her best not to think of her experience with the gear, the fight with gonicarlo... Just to think about how fortunate she was about having the house with her. A gentle smile formed on her lips, but, before she could realize what was happening. The redhead would fall asleep peacefully against Aunt Janus's shoulder.
