[Open Commentlog] Backdated to Sunday Oct 9

[Anna is stumbling through the halls of he Keep, heading from the chapel towards her room.

Oh, it might be important to notice that her entire torso and her arms are completely soaked in blood.

Run into her?]

((ooc: directly after this!))

[Nick is passing by, head lost somewhere. So he's walked by Anna before he realizes something is wrong. He stops, and turns, eyes wide.]

Anna? Are you all right? What happened?

[tigressina]

I--

[Oh God, Nick. She didn't want to go into what had just happened - not with him. Would he even understand why she'd done what she just did? Anna felt justified and felt no guilt, but she's suddenly struck with what he - and Dastan - would think of her when (there were no ifs) they found out.]

I am fine. Please, keep walking.

[miseducating]

You do not look fine.

[His concern is showing. He tentatively thinks they are friends. She's not trying to kill him, so that is a plus. But Nick is not a pushy person. He won't...press for answers.]

But if you are sure...

[tigressina]

[Yeah she's definitely not fine, Nick. That's obvious.]

I know how it looks.

[And how it looks is...well. Bad. She's returned to normal now - her hands, that is - but she's tired from the half shift and in desperate need of a good scrubbing.]

[miseducating]

[oh man. Oh man. Oh man. He looks at the blood on her arms and his eyes flick up to hers. She didn't...]

You did not...

[Part of him is relieved the other part of him is kind of settling into full on panic mode. They're going to punish her!]

[tigressina]

[Oh Nick. Your powers of observation, they are great.]

I did.

[She knows she will be punished and that he'll be back.

But it was worth it.]

[miseducating]

[Okay! okay. He takes a deep breath and tries to calm down. How can she be so calm?]

Thank you.

We should get rid of this. [Those bloody clothes, he means.]

[tigressina]

[Anna nods, and looks over her shoulder.]

Before anyone else sees me.
