Ma'am? I found an envelope with a lot of money in it, i-it says it's addressed to me? From you? Did you- did you mean to send this?

-🦋🌌

Yes I did. Do not worry about it.

[She has a new cane with a handle that has black and purple resin in it]

Rea- really??

[They're flabbergasted]

The new cane's pretty, by the way. But, are you sure??

All yours kiddo.

And thanks

Well, it's not like I had much reason to stay employed. . .

Oh, there's also this kid. He's a student, about 15. It's a crow shifter, and, I really hope he's doing okay. I can't really contact him right now.

Uhhh, Mads? I may or may not have gotten an invitation to work as a healer for the Harris Group? Thoughts?

-🦋🌌

Don't.

[Maddie has a cold compress over her eye]

Rigel is an ass to anyone he isn't close with. It is a rebel group ran like a slicer gang.

Who invited you?

A vampire. She was really nice..

...

[She sighs]

If it's the one i'm remembering she is a sweetheart. Lost her little one to a vamp atack when she was turned. The harris group was her only escape.

She ain't gonna hurt you but be careful ok?

Okay.

[They're holding a bag with chocolate chip cookies and a takeaway cup with hot chocolate]

She said I looked like someone she once knew.

Really?

Yeah. Said she'd protect me this time or something like that. Can't really remember the exact words.

Maybe you remind her of her kid she lost.

That would explain a lot. . .

[She pats their head]

You good?

Huh? Oh, yeah. I'm- I'm good.

[Ryn sees a vamp while out. She holds herself like a soldier and is on edge]

[They wave at her and speak at a normal volume, aware of Vampire hearing]

Hey there. Need any healing?

[She looks over at them and shakes her head before her eyes widden and she walks over]

No i- I do not need healing...

[She examines their face and a sadness is in her eyes]

What is your name little one?

Ryn. Are you okay ma'am? You seem sad. . .

[They face scrunches up in worry. Their outfit looks like a healer's, but any sign of the imperium seems to have been torn off]

Yes I am quite well now...

Ryn.... a lovely name... chose well...

[She smiles softly]

I am pigeon of the Harris group- i am not here to harm you I swear. Quite the opposite.

Harris?

[They seem to know that, probably]

What do you mean the opposite?

[She cups their face. It's warm like a mother would]

I'll protect you little one

[They look at her, confused.]

I- I can protect myself, mostly.

[Their eyes have dark circles around them, and their cheeks feel almost sunken in. But there's something archaic, something powerful in their eyes]

You're tired... and hungry... what is your mother feeding you?

[She tucks her cane under her arm as she gently leads them to a cafe]

My mother is in another country. Well, technically I'm the one in another country. Uhm, I haven't really been able to afford much: I quit my job a while ago.

[They don't resist much, they're more confused about what's going on but seem light up at the mention of a cafe]

Well you don't have to worry any more...

[She runs her hand through their hair. She heavily favors her right leg]

Are you sure your leg doesn't need healing?

It is an old injury

I see. . .

[She takes them to the Cafe and smiles]

Anything you want i'll buy you.

[They look at the options]

Uhm, can I get the hot chocolate?

Of course. Big?

[They nod]

Any cookies or treats?

Oh, uh, chocolate chip cookies too.

Perfect.

[She orders the hot coco and 2 cookies]

[They walk over to a table close to the wall and sit down. They seem to mutter something to themselves]

Why did I tell her that..

What was that?

[She sits with them]

[They look like a child caught doing something they weren't supposed to]

N-nothing.

You can tell me it's alright

I haven't really told anyone about me quitting my job.. I've just been crashing at my girlfriend's place most nights. . . I was a healer for the imperium.

[Something about this vampire makes it so easy for them to talk. . .]

It's ok....

I'm sure my boss would love to have a healer and would pay you well.

[She puts a hand over theirs]

I'm.. I'm not sure how well my friends would react to that. Or my girlfriend.

It's ok.

I don't think I got your name, ma'am.

Pigeon. It's what everyone called me back in the service.

Pigeon? Thank you so much.. how long does hot chocolate usually take to make?

It-

Ryn!

[The order is called and pigeon gets uo. Going to grab it]

[They just sit there, fidgeting with their fingers.]

[She comes back and hands it all over with a smile]

[They take a sip of the hot chocolate, it seems to melt away their stress, their shoulders are visibly less tense]

[She smiles]

Good?

Very.

Good... if you ever need anything just let me know kiddo...

How exactly?

[She writes her number on a napkins]

Here

Thank you.. you're awfully kind to someone you just met.

You look like someone i used to know...

[She smiles softly]

Do I really?

[They take a bite of their cookie]

Yes.

And i failed to care for them.

I won't again.

Ah.. I'm sorry for your loss then. . .

It's ok.

[She smiles and pats their head again]

[They flinch a little and close their eyes when she does, almost expecting something else to happen]

Oh... i'm not going to hurt you... don't worry....

How can I be sure?

If I wanted to hurt you I could have already. It is useless to do it now

. . . . Okay. Thank you, Pigeon.

You're tired... and hungry... what is your mother feeding you?

[She tucks her cane under her arm as she gently leads them to a cafe]

My mother is in another country. Well, technically I'm the one in another country. Uhm, I haven't really been able to afford much: I quit my job a while ago.

[They don't resist much, they're more confused about what's going on but seem light up at the mention of a cafe]

Well you don't have to worry any more...

[She runs her hand through their hair. She heavily favors her right leg]

Are you sure your leg doesn't need healing?

It is an old injury

I see. . .

[She takes them to the Cafe and smiles]

Anything you want i'll buy you.

[They look at the options]

Uhm, can I get the hot chocolate?

Of course. Big?

[They nod]

Any cookies or treats?

Oh, uh, chocolate chip cookies too.

Perfect.

[She orders the hot coco and 2 cookies]

[They walk over to a table close to the wall and sit down. They seem to mutter something to themselves]

Why did I tell her that..

What was that?

[She sits with them]

[They look like a child caught doing something they weren't supposed to]

N-nothing.

You can tell me it's alright

I haven't really told anyone about me quitting my job.. I've just been crashing at my girlfriend's place most nights. . . I was a healer for the imperium.

[Something about this vampire makes it so easy for them to talk. . .]

It's ok....

I'm sure my boss would love to have a healer and would pay you well.

[She puts a hand over theirs]

I'm.. I'm not sure how well my friends would react to that. Or my girlfriend.

It's ok.

I don't think I got your name, ma'am.

Pigeon. It's what everyone called me back in the service.

Pigeon? Thank you so much.. how long does hot chocolate usually take to make?

It-

Ryn!

[The order is called and pigeon gets uo. Going to grab it]

[They just sit there, fidgeting with their fingers.]

[She comes back and hands it all over with a smile]

[They take a sip of the hot chocolate, it seems to melt away their stress, their shoulders are visibly less tense]

[She smiles]

Good?

Very.

Good... if you ever need anything just let me know kiddo...

How exactly?

[Ryn sees a vamp while out. She holds herself like a soldier and is on edge]

[They wave at her and speak at a normal volume, aware of Vampire hearing]

Hey there. Need any healing?

[She looks over at them and shakes her head before her eyes widden and she walks over]

No i- I do not need healing...

[She examines their face and a sadness is in her eyes]

What is your name little one?

Ryn. Are you okay ma'am? You seem sad. . .

[They face scrunches up in worry. Their outfit looks like a healer's, but any sign of the imperium seems to have been torn off]

Yes I am quite well now...

Ryn.... a lovely name... chose well...

[She smiles softly]

I am pigeon of the Harris group- i am not here to harm you I swear. Quite the opposite.

Harris?

[They seem to know that, probably]

What do you mean the opposite?

[She cups their face. It's warm like a mother would]

I'll protect you little one

[They look at her, confused.]

I- I can protect myself, mostly.

[Their eyes have dark circles around them, and their cheeks feel almost sunken in. But there's something archaic, something powerful in their eyes]
