[ To everyone she inconvenienced because of her stupid decision; to anyone who recognizes her voice at all, anymore... Meiling, who has been out of the house for most of that time (especially when she was ripe for being hunted), has just one thing to say: ] I'm sorry, everyone. I'm so sorry...

[Marisa had stayed with Patchouli during the week as much as she could, not trusting the 'fake', but when she woke that morning, she was glad she'd never tried to drive Meiling out of the house or killed her.

...she waited for those of the Scarlet Devil Mansion to welcome their gatekeeper back. Eventually, Marisa would sit down next to Meiling and hand her a cup of strong tea.]

[adropofjupiter]

Come on, Meiling. There's so many other things to make a big deal about; this ain't one of 'em.

Anyways... How about you buy us some booze and we drink tonight? bet I can talk Patchy into one drink.

[notsogreatwall]

[ And she had been considering telling Marisa about what else had happened, but she was (fortunately) cut off. ] Huh? You're sure? [ Meiling tilts her head back to look up the front of the house in the direction of Patchouli's window. ]

[adropofjupiter]

Positive. Just pick up something good and something weak. Like... wine. Patchy will have one glass of wine.

[notsogreatwall]

Well, if you think so...

[ Meiling finishes off her tea and then sets the cup down. ] Maybe something sweet? I don't know wines all that well. [ They're not her 'thing'. ]

[adropofjupiter]

Yeah... Like a white wine. Or maybe the pink one. I usually drink beer here since it's the easiest to get a hold of.

[notsogreatwall]

Mm. Okay then. I'll do that. [ After she rises to her feet, she looks down at herself. ] ...maybe after I clean up.

[adropofjupiter]

Yeah, that would be a good idea, ze. Take a long bath.

[notsogreatwall]

Right.

I'll see you when I'm done, Marisa. [ As she heads inside to go take care of all this messiness, she pauses with her hand on the door. ] ...and thank you. [ For watching Patchy; for watching the rest; or just for not coming after her? Hard to say. ]
