Library, Sunday 04/29

Raven had finally made it back to her room, but got very little rest since she passed the night being sick over and over again ~~because her canon was weird~~. She'd only felt that sick once before, when she'd tried to rip Ultimecia's Pride from her.

It was tempting to spend the day miserable in bed, but she managed to drag herself down to the library so she could spend the day miserable in the library. She had several people she needed to talk to, but right now she was just going to lay her head on the desk and try not to be sick again.

"They give me a headache," Raven agreed with a wry smile. All their excitement and anxiety as they settled in took a lot of effort for her to shield out. And the goodbyes brought sorrow and heartache, and she'd had more than enough of that as well.

"Yes, it will be good to get away from everything." She just hoped nothing really bad happened in Kaeleer.

What could possibly happen in Kaeleer?

...Don't answer that.

"Good!" Karla said, bussing Raven's cheek. "I'll tell Saetan to prepare a suite for you close to mine. Feel free to come and go as you please, but don't be surprised if you cornered for lessons. I know that the art and dancing masters are still at the Hall."

Art and dancing didn't involve sticks, well, at least not that she knew of. She could handle those type of lessons.

"And I must learn more of protocol," Raven reminded her. "I do not wish to unintentionally cause offense."

"You can join the coven in lessons," Karla promised. "And help Uncle Saetan despair at getting us all to behave appropriately in a public setting."

"I would appreciate that," Raven said. Well, not the making Saetan despair part. But she just might if she had any questions.

She had to turn her head away for a moment then, clamping a hand over her mouth as another wave of nausea swept through her. At least the time between feeling like she needed to throw up was growing longer as the day wore on.

Karla watched her with concern. "Are you sure you should be here?" she asked. "Maybe you should head home early and lie down. I can make you a soothing tea. You're having some kind of nervous reaction, sweetheart."

"I am feeling much better than I was last night," Raven said, once the wave of nausea had passed. "I became very ill after my brothers' attempt to open the portal. Pulling the power from me seems to have had a physical affect."

Or it was something else; the beginnings of a theory were forming in her mind. She just didn't know how to test it.

She glanced around the library. "But it is usually quiet here on Sundays, and I suspect no one else will come today. Perhaps it would be wise to get some more rest."

Karla nodded. "I agree. Healer's orders, dammit." Hell's fire, she'd be willing to stay and woman the desk if that's what it took to get Raven to agree to leave. "Come on. I'll tuck you in, put something cool on your face, brew you that tea. I can't have the Court Healer getting sick. What kind of message does that send?"

"It does not happen often," Raven protested, but she was already shutting down the library computer and gathering her things.

She hadn't eaten all day, and her stomach was roiling to think of food. Tea should be all right, though. She hoped.

"That's a better argument to make when your face isn't paler than milk, sweetheart," Karla said, batting Raven's hands away so she could grab her belongings for her friend. "Home. Bed. Naps."

Don't make her call Lucivar, Raven. Because she would.

"Yes, my Queen," Raven said meekly, but she was still smiling. "I am sure I will feel better tomorrow."

"That's right you will," Karla said, winking at her. "And I'll be hovering over you to make sure of it."
