In the lobby, there is an Angel of Healing who is standing with a plate of cookies and brownies and other sweet treats on a tray. It's been a particularly tough week, and she's honestly sick and tired of everything that has gone on. She's fighting back.

She spent several hours in the basement, and the plate she's currently holding is by no means the ( Read more... )

It's been nearly a week since Rain has showed herself to the public again. She spoke to her brother once and then curled up in her room to sleep.

She decides it might be okay to slip outside for once, because she misses the sunlight. But she knows if she does, she'll be reminded of Natasha and her brother's anger and...

Well, Rain was taking chances today. So when she sees Gladys with the sweets? She tries a smile. It's working, but it's tired.

"It smells wonderful."

Gladys can actually sense when Rain comes into the room. It itches madly, so much so it actually hurts, and she smiles the cheeriest smile she can manage, trying to mentally raise the 'sunny' level in her head to nearly toxic levels.

"Take one, my dear," she says. "No, take two. Take as many as you want. I've got more than enough, and you need it."

She's not going to get into how she knows that. It doesn't matter. What matters is that Rain get something tasty and warm-feeling in her, to combat the dark. It's what Gladys does, and she does it well.

Rain, when she actually pays attention, can tell this woman's an angel. Can't tell what kind or anything, but there's just something about them. That and she's an angel herself. And this woman just seems like the type. If not, well, no harm done, hm?

She doesn't meet Gladys' eyes, "Really? You're sure you don't mind?"

But at her enthusiasm, she decides on a cookie or two, her smile brightening a little. Not a significant amount, but more.

"Of course I don't mind, dear," Gladys replies. "Take as many as you need."

Her heart flies to her throat as Rain takes some. It feels so good to see people take them. Even better than the physical act of healing. It makes her feel like she's truly fixing people, and that's what she loves to do.

Cookies heal the things Band-Aids can't.

Biting into one, she smiles a little more, "They're very good."

They give her a little more warmth, which is something she hasn't felt for a few weeks.

"Thank you, really." Her smile comes a little more naturally and she nibbles on the cookies a bit more. "I'm Rain, by the way."

"Why thank you, dearie. That's quite a compliment."

She smiles even more broadly. "Nice to meet you, Rain. I'm Gladys." Just Gladys. She doesn't feel like she needs any more introduction.

"Well, it's nice to meet you as well, Gladys."

She decides to nibble on the other cookie she snatched up once the first is well done with.

"Do you live here, too?" She might be asking a different question altogether as well. With things the way they are, coming right out and saying 'hey! I'm an angel!' might not exactly work.

In her mind, anyway.

"I do," Gladys says. "Interesting place."

She's not much into the whole, 'HAI I'M AN ANGEL' thing either.

"It's been a mess as of late," she comments, the smile still on her face. "But I'm sure you're very aware of that..."
