Romana!
Leela? Is something wrong?
Romana! I am worried she did something foolish!
I just saw her with Yanis and Lolita…
Did you see where they went?
I didn’t, but Sytha and Steadfast might have seen?

*Returns to her office after the incident with Cousin Justine, holding her still bleeding arm*
Well, that went poorly..
*She locks the door for a moment and pulls her arm out of her sleeve, wincing as it pulls the wound, reaching with her good arm for the first aid kit she keeps under her desk.*
*She carefully cleans and bandages herself, sighing when she realises her clothes are now ruined. At least her undershirt is short-sleeved, something she’d barely considered until now.*
*She considers just wearing these clothes for the rest of the day- the biggest issue is the gash and the dried blood around the upper arm, but she could put her shawl over that, probably. But considering that some of her clients are Vampires.. it’s probably better to just make the trek back to her quarters.*
*With a frustrated sigh, she sets down the rest of her things and settles her shawl over her shoulders to at least be a bit subtle on the way to her quarters. It doesn’t hide everything, there’s some noticeable droplets across her chest where she’d cradled her arm, and a few towards her upper leg from the initial splatter, but it’s better than nothing.*
Well, all I can do is hope I don’t run into anybody who’ll look to closely..
*She settles her face into a neutral expression, stepping out and starting the walk to her quarters*
Ah, hello there. Isa, isn’t it?
*She turns, disguising her slight startle.*
Ah, hello! I believe I know you, but I’m not sure we’ve met in person- Navede, isn’t it?
*She shuffles her shawl to make sure she looks alright, wishing she’d taken the time to fix her hair a bit more*
That’s me. I’m in charge of House Yssgaroth relations. I was wondering if you have a moment to chat?
*She resists the urge to glance around nervously- that would probably look bad, she thinks.*
Ah, I see. I- well, I can talk for a moment, but I do have somewhere to be- perhaps we could talk in just a while, I only need a moment to fetch something..
*Her arm twinges painfully as she gestures and she reminds herself to keep it still.*
*smells the blood*
You’re injured?
*She blinks in surprise for a moment, before cursing internally. Of course someone representing House Yssgaroth would be able to tell.*
Ah, it’s nothing- just a bit of a scrape. Sorry if it’s-
*She pauses, trying to decide how best to phrase it.*
Sorry if it’s distracting.
*smiles amiably*
Oh, I don’t mind. Most of us can handle a few scrapes.
*Smiles backs a bit relieved*
Ah, I’m glad- I wouldn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable.
*She pauses awkwardly for a moment*
Did you have anything you wanted to discuss?
I said most of us don’t mind. But if you’re considering taking Rovel as a client, we should talk about it first.
Ah- that’s.. good to know. I’ve- I’ve met xem before, I understand that.
I’ll do my best to get this healed quickly- it shouldn’t take more than a few days, so it shouldn’t be an issue, though I appreciate the advice.
..I suppose I should make sure that I check with my other clients to make they can choose to cancel an appointment in.. those circumstances.
*She smiles a bit, attempting a joke.*
Though I would hope this won’t happen very often. It’s been- a bit of a surprise.
As for taking Rovel on as a patient in general- I’m not sure what xe would like to do, we haven’t discussed setting up an appointment, but if that would be the goal, we can absolutely discuss safety measures and that sort of thing.
Safety measures, a few warnings. Mind if we move to your office?
*She glances down at the hallway leading to her quarters, but- well, this seems important.*
..Of course.
*She opens the door, stepping in and gesturing for Navede to follow.*
*takes a seat*
The first thing you should know is that xe’s heavily dependent on Lilith, and to a lesser extent, Yanis and Carmilla. They’ll likely insist on being present.
*She sits down behind the desk, nodding.*
That would be alright. It.. may be best to try to introduce a bit more independence, after some time, but I can accommodate that.
And, xe tends to bite even when xe’s not hungry. Particularly if under stress. If you’re providing comfort, it’s likely that xe’ll try to bite you.
Xe doesn’t intend to hurt people, in those moments, but if xe tastes blood, it will be difficult to stop. So, I’d recommend ordering bite-proof sleeves from the Tailor, and a protective collar.
*She considers, a bit concerned.*
Hm. I can absolutely take steps to prevent that, but- is xe interested in gaining a bit more control over that behaviour? It seems to me like it may limit xeir ability to interact with others, not just people who are specifically prepared to be around xem.
I do get regular vaccines, as a general safety precaution- but I would prefer not to have to rely on that, of course.
Xe is, yes. It’s highly distressing for xem, but difficulty with that self control is a part of vampirism. It can be trained and overcome, but it’s not easy. Xe practises regularly with the rest of the House.
Xe also has a muzzle xe’s willing to wear, and although xe dislikes cages and glass walls, xe’d cooperate if you asked.
I believe they’re also experimenting with leashing xem to Yanis.
I can only imagine, of course. If xe’d like to work on that here as well, I may also be able to help.
The muzzle is unnecessary, I’m not worried- I’m sure we’d be perfectly fine with more comfortable safety measures.
I’m perfectly capable of handling myself, there’s no need for anything excessive, unless it would make xem feel more safe, though you’ve said it doesn’t, so I see no need.
Very well.
Be prepared for if xe does bite you, though. If you struggle, you’ll make it worse, so it’s best to wait for someone else to help.
Don’t say the Founder’s name, it’s painful for us. As is his Seal, so cover it up. Silver also burns us.
Don’t give xem more suppressant, even if xe asks, nor anything containing garlic. Don’t offer your own blood to xem, and if you need help, just ask.
Xe’s very worried about making a good first impression.
Of course. I’ve been through a fair amount of resistance training, that should be alright.
I’ll make sure everything is covered- I don’t usually keep the Seal on much in here anyway, now that I think about it.
If I’m startled I do have a tendency to say his name, but I’ve been trying to rid myself of that habit anyway.. I’ll be sure to remember that, though.
I don’t believe I’d have access to any suppressant to give xem, so that also shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll be sure to remember about the garlic, though.
*She smiles, finding that endearing.*
That’s very kind of xem. I’d say xe already has, if I’m being honest. We had a rough start, but xe’s shown kindness and responsibility, and I value that highly.
Then, I think that’s everything you need to know.
Good luck, Isa. I hope you can help. Xe deserves it.
Wonderful. I’m very glad that we discussed this, it’s all very helpful to know.
..I hope so too. I’ll do my absolute best.
Thank you for your advice. I’ll keep in touch and let you know if I think any safety concerns come up, as long as Rovel is alright with that.
That sounds like an excellent plan
I’m glad. If that’s all..?
*She stands up, getting ready to leave again but waiting politely to let Navede leave first*
*Subtly, she checks her arm- she’s slightly alarmed to realise she’s started to bleed through the (admittedly rushed) bandage she’d tied, and resettles her shawl over it quickly*
I do apologise if I’ve rushed this conversation at all, only, the circumstances aren’t ideal.. I’m very glad we talked though, of course. I feel much more prepared.
My apologies, don’t let me keep you.
*holds open the door for her*

That’s me. I’m in charge of House Yssgaroth relations. I was wondering if you have a moment to chat?
*She resists the urge to glance around nervously- that would probably look bad, she thinks.*
Ah, I see. I- well, I can talk for a moment, but I do have somewhere to be- perhaps we could talk in just a while, I only need a moment to fetch something..
*Her arm twinges painfully as she gestures and she reminds herself to keep it still.*
*smells the blood*
You’re injured?
*She blinks in surprise for a moment, before cursing internally. Of course someone representing House Yssgaroth would be able to tell.*
Ah, it’s nothing- just a bit of a scrape. Sorry if it’s-
*She pauses, trying to decide how best to phrase it.*
Sorry if it’s distracting.
*smiles amiably*
Oh, I don’t mind. Most of us can handle a few scrapes.
*Smiles backs a bit relieved*
Ah, I’m glad- I wouldn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable.
*She pauses awkwardly for a moment*
Did you have anything you wanted to discuss?
I said most of us don’t mind. But if you’re considering taking Rovel as a client, we should talk about it first.
Ah- that’s.. good to know. I’ve- I’ve met xem before, I understand that.
I’ll do my best to get this healed quickly- it shouldn’t take more than a few days, so it shouldn’t be an issue, though I appreciate the advice.
..I suppose I should make sure that I check with my other clients to make they can choose to cancel an appointment in.. those circumstances.
*She smiles a bit, attempting a joke.*
Though I would hope this won’t happen very often. It’s been- a bit of a surprise.
As for taking Rovel on as a patient in general- I’m not sure what xe would like to do, we haven’t discussed setting up an appointment, but if that would be the goal, we can absolutely discuss safety measures and that sort of thing.
Safety measures, a few warnings. Mind if we move to your office?
*She glances down at the hallway leading to her quarters, but- well, this seems important.*
..Of course.
*She opens the door, stepping in and gesturing for Navede to follow.*
*takes a seat*
The first thing you should know is that xe’s heavily dependent on Lilith, and to a lesser extent, Yanis and Carmilla. They’ll likely insist on being present.
*She sits down behind the desk, nodding.*
That would be alright. It.. may be best to try to introduce a bit more independence, after some time, but I can accommodate that.
And, xe tends to bite even when xe’s not hungry. Particularly if under stress. If you’re providing comfort, it’s likely that xe’ll try to bite you.
Xe doesn’t intend to hurt people, in those moments, but if xe tastes blood, it will be difficult to stop. So, I’d recommend ordering bite-proof sleeves from the Tailor, and a protective collar.
*She considers, a bit concerned.*
Hm. I can absolutely take steps to prevent that, but- is xe interested in gaining a bit more control over that behaviour? It seems to me like it may limit xeir ability to interact with others, not just people who are specifically prepared to be around xem.
I do get regular vaccines, as a general safety precaution- but I would prefer not to have to rely on that, of course.
Xe is, yes. It’s highly distressing for xem, but difficulty with that self control is a part of vampirism. It can be trained and overcome, but it’s not easy. Xe practises regularly with the rest of the House.
Xe also has a muzzle xe’s willing to wear, and although xe dislikes cages and glass walls, xe’d cooperate if you asked.
I believe they’re also experimenting with leashing xem to Yanis.
*Returns to her office after the incident with Cousin Justine, holding her still bleeding arm*
Well, that went poorly..
*She locks the door for a moment and pulls her arm out of her sleeve, wincing as it pulls the wound, reaching with her good arm for the first aid kit she keeps under her desk.*
*She carefully cleans and bandages herself, sighing when she realises her clothes are now ruined. At least her undershirt is short-sleeved, something she’d barely considered until now.*
*She considers just wearing these clothes for the rest of the day- the biggest issue is the gash and the dried blood around the upper arm, but she could put her shawl over that, probably. But considering that some of her clients are Vampires.. it’s probably better to just make the trek back to her quarters.*
*With a frustrated sigh, she sets down the rest of her things and settles her shawl over her shoulders to at least be a bit subtle on the way to her quarters. It doesn’t hide everything, there’s some noticeable droplets across her chest where she’d cradled her arm, and a few towards her upper leg from the initial splatter, but it’s better than nothing.*
Well, all I can do is hope I don’t run into anybody who’ll look to closely..
*She settles her face into a neutral expression, stepping out and starting the walk to her quarters*
Ah, hello there. Isa, isn’t it?
*She turns, disguising her slight startle.*
Ah, hello! I believe I know you, but I’m not sure we’ve met in person- Navede, isn’t it?

@matrix-lord-101ita… something feels wrong
Rovel? Are you ok...?
What is it?
I don’t know, I just… feel it.
Feel what?
Like... something physical or...
Like something’s wrong
It’s not right, someone’s… still missing.
Someone's missi...
Cianna
Cianna…? Who-?
Navede said he took her place...
But… he didn’t, right? I remember when he came here…
He said he was unstable... and he fed on her to make himself tangible...
He killed her
Why don’t we remember?
Because he replaced her
Can we fix it?
I... don't know.
Navede wants to...
*listening in*
I didn't think it mattered... I didn't realise you remembered
Sorry
Someone’s death only matters if I care?
They weren't a part of our history, currently... they never existed at all.
So she’s… gone? And I never knew her?
*imagining the person she might have been, and xir life without the people xe has now*
... we need to get her back.
We do
N-navede?
You were... listening?
I’m sorry
I can’t go on with this, living a lie
Oh Navede...
Please, help me
We will... we'll help you, and Cianna
Right Rovel...
Rovel?
Rovel...
*Lilith’s image flickers, once here, now gone. The emptiness in xir chest has been filled with stone*
Rovel! *hugs xir*
Are you ok? What's wrong?
*opens xir mouth but says nothing*
*tears run down xir face*
*holds xir*
I'm here... ok. And we'll get Cianna back...
What’s wrong?
I think xe's imagining what would happen if any of us... vanished
*guilt*
I’m sorry
Rovel... please. I need your help...
*fear, grief*
We can fix this... together...
*tightens xir grip*
But I need your help...
*pushes the paralyzing fear at her*
*takes it and feels it as well*
*pushes back her determination to fix it*
*shudders*
Help me
Anything
Help me
I can’t feel you
*presses her mind against xir's*
*lets xir feel everything she is feeling*
*sobs once, and collapses into her arms*
Come on... Rovel.
We can fix this...
We can fix this
Navede's willing to help too...
I’ll do anything.
We don't have to be powerless, we can do it
Don't know... yet, but we'll figure it out.
If Navede took Cianna's life... some of her biodata must still exist in him.
Them, actually, now.
If we unbind my biodata… what happened then will eventually, through random fluctuation, be undone.
Oh, them, ok
That'll work?
That’s how this happened in the first place.
Rovel... if you still remember Cianna, even slightly... maybe you could reach her, we need not rely on random fluctuation...
I can try…
Alright... now we just need someone who can unbind the biodata...
*shudders*
Ilya offered
... good
Then we can do this... come on...
*looks back*
Goodbye, my home
Don't say it like that... you'll still be welcome here, Navede. You always will be
No, Lilith, I won’t. Not when Cianna returns, and not when you forget me.
Yes you will
You can’t guarantee that, and it’s never worked before
Navede...
But I’ll do it. To make this right.
*breathes*
Alright...
That was your queue to say “we’d never ask you to do that, Navede”
... apparently we didn't have to... you already agreed.
Let’s get it over with.
