Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

Ali gets up the next morning, still trembling.

 

"Then you figure out where I go. Less advantageous for me."
I retort.

 

"You make no progress standing here. I have nothing to do, thus the stalemate is to my advantage."

 

There's a cup of tea next to her bed, and a familiar black cat sleeping at the foot of it.

 

"You don't seem like creatures that can go without sleep."

 

"We both have better things to do."

Ali keeps silent, not daring to touch the cup or Onyx.

 

Onyx eventually wakes up, deciding to paw at Ali noticing she's awake.

 

"And yet, you admitted that you have nothing to do in your previous statement."
I point out.

 

Ali pushes her away.
"You liar..." She growls.

"I could be looking for something else to do. Something else that would benefit me directly. Instead, I am giving myself to curiosity."

 

Onyx seems confused, trying to rub against Ali as she walks back.

 

"Aral'hrah could use the information as to where I go."

 

She keeps getting pushed back.
"Look where your miracle working room got me." She groans.

"If you can enter and leave, so could another threat."

 

Onyx changes back to her human form.

"why are you being so mean to me?" Onyx asks, confused and hurt.

 

"Very true."
Pause.
"I don't want to be enemies with you lot, you know that, right?"

 

"Look where I am..." Ali sobs. "They healed me to kill me, and they probably brought me back to kill me again..."

"Considering your dealings, we'd figured. Your methods, though, were suspect."

 

"I'd imagine they were, after I took about an hour making a very good chest plate, probably perfectly."

 

"who killed you?" Onyx asks, shocked and confused.

I enter Ali's room, followed by Shadow Stephanie.

"Hey, feeling better?" I ask, smiling.

 

"It's far from perfect. It restricts climbing. However, it is better for lowlands scavenging runs than nothing."

Ali seems petrified.
"P-please... g-go away!" She cries, resistive.

 

"I told him if he had any problems with it, he should talk to me about it."
I say, seemingly annoyed.

 

"What's wrong?" I ask, confused.

"did you kill ali, master?" Onyx asks.

"No, no, Onyx. I had her kept in a state close to death to free her from potential mind control." I say.

"Sorry we couldn't warn you. It's been pretty stressful recovering from the incident we had, so we couldn't take any risks." Shadow Stephanie says.

"I assume it wasn't too painful, was it?" I ask.
