[ While she wasn't all that sore about...well, literally, missing out on Spring, Meg decided sitting around, hiding, wasn't going to be any better. Nope. She'd miss out on all of it, if she did.

So straightening things up in her dorm, today's a day out, on the fountain, all by her lonesome, with a copy of---nothing. No books this time. Odd? Maybe

[Sinbad cocks his head when he sees her. Sitting by the fountain, that could be understandable, but alone? Then again, last time he saw her it wasn't like she wanted to be bothered very much. He sighs before cracking a smile and approaching her.]

You like being by yourself often?

[Don't mind him just taking the seat right beside you, Meg.]

sorry; went for a nap.

[theonewoman]

[ She takes a half glance up from her comm with a smirk. ]

It's nice.

[ Someone's been a woman of very little words since she died. ]

pssh don't worry about it; ljs ripping me off notifs anyway<3

[blamemeforit]

I suppose...if you like quiet and solitude.

[He matches her smirk with his own. Since he's known her, she's always been of little words; he can't be too concerned just yet.]

Not much of a talker either, I take it?

me too, it seems. nevermind, 2-3 hour delay. shit.

[theonewoman]

[ She holds back a sigh. Just play it cool, sister. He knows nothing, as far as she's concerned. ]

You could say that. You can't be too sure of who's going to hurt you and who you're going to hurt.

I try to avoid both.

/crawls out/ LATE TO THE PARTY. DON'T MIND ME.

[Jasmine hadn't seen her friend, as of yet. In fact, a fear began to arise that Hades hadn't kept his end of the deal.

But upon seeing her form on the fountain, that fear turned into utmost relief. She wanted to cry, she wanted to run and embrace Meg and make sure she was real, that this wasn't some illusion or nightmare. However, Jasmine couldn't bring herself to do that. The agreement had sobered her up greatly, and the impending conversation with Aladdin and Axel about it weighed heavy on her mind. To be perfectly frank, she didn't really have the emotional energy to do what her heart wanted.

Instead, she quietly approached the Grecian, and sat down next to her.]

Hello...

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER BB

[theonewoman]

[ Meg brought a hand to her sinus, trying to relieve the pressure, and next thing she knows, bam, there's a Jasmine. She's almost terrified by the girl's appearance, comm thunking down onto the tiled surface of the fountain. Guilt. More and more and more guilt. Meg learned the hard way by not taking her word for it, and for that, she felt like a terrible friend. This was one of those moments, she isn't sure she's talking to a friend or an enemy. Either way--- ]

I'm sorry.

<3<3

[obviousroyal]

Do not apologize.

[Jasmine set a gentle hand on Meg's arm.

Oh, thank Allah she's real, she's tangible... she's warm and alive.]

You were only doing what your heart told you to.

[She couldn't hold Mozenrath against Megara. After all, Jasmine, herself, had made plenty of horrible, life-altering decisions by listening to her own messed up heart.]

I am just relieved Hades kept his end of the deal, and that you are back.

[theonewoman]

[ That was comforting. She wasn't upset. She was gracious, and understanding, that was...comforting. But as soon as her shoulders settled, her next statement made Meg's blood run cold. Time almost stopped. ]

What deal.
