What's Wrong?

[Elyse]

Mae left and the scent of her lingered in the room. The kiss left her wanting more...much more, but Mae had responsibilities tonight. Elyse hoped she wasn't too tired when she got back. She smiled - Mae wouldn't be. She knew that. It wasn't long before Anna came in and asked if she should stay.

"I'd really appreciate that," Elyse said. "I don't really want to go out yet and meet other people, but I don't want to be alone either."

Anna nodded and sat down on the bed. "Okay - I'm hear until Mae gets back or you get tired of me."

Elyse laughed, and pulled out her wallet to check her messages. She had only one from Carmen saying that she understood and to reach out if she needed anything. It was another reason why she felt more accepted at Kallisti. Elyse debated sending a message to Nox to thank him and to tell him she was sorry she brought this mess into his lap, but she decided to wait. She'd tell him later. She needed to decompress.

"So how did things go after I left, anyone stick around,"

Anna smiled. "Nes left shortly after you did. Cade and I stayed around awhile. Under the influence of alcohol, I called him cute, and felt bad about it. He's still mourning you know. But...I don't...things might happen there."

Elyse smiled and settled in for a night of girl talk until Mae returned.
