*He knocks softly on the door.* Ali?

[vicioussweetie]

"Yes?" She considers getting up. Realizing her leg has fallen asleep, she decides against it. "I'm in here."

[jumpyspringy]

*He comes into the room and sits on his heels next to her.*

Lessons? *His tone is very sympathetic.*

[vicioussweetie]

"Yeah. They went pretty well today." She gives him a grin. "What've you been up to?"

"Fighting?" He smiles wryly. He's a bit bruised up as well.

[vicioussweetie]

"Training. It never ends."

[warriormayhew]

He nods. "I've learned that." He smiles slowly. "I... got a hit on Hunter."

[vicioussweetie]

"That's good." She rubs one of her elbows absently. "Where?"

As Ali had a nice, relaxing bath with Mortimer, Sasha makes arrangements that will be appreciated later--balms and warming pads for her body, and a saucepan of Jenna's hot chocolate slowly warming on the stove. Applying heat and stirring were both, as it happened, within her range of culinary skill.

When Ali was done with the bath and Mortimer, poor guy and dressed again, she padded down to the kitchen. She smelled chocolate...

"Good evening, darling," Sasha crooned, ladling some of the dark, not-quite-simmering liquid into a sturdy earthenware mug. "How are you feeling?"

[vicioussweetie]

"Much better now. Starving though." She eyes the mug hopefully.
