Marta drank her cappuccino which was a new beverage for her. She found out what people liked it so much. It was delicious. Splash was underneath the table, just relaxing. "Elyse isn't doing well," she told Ricky, moving into a more serious tone.
Ricky looked concerned. "What's going on?"
Marta looked down, a little sad. "Apparently she's been struggling with...thoughts of hurting herself. I got to talk to her on the phone yesterday and texted her this morning. She's getting help, but not doing okay. You should send her good thoughts every once in awhile. I think Anna is staying with her now too." Ricky didn't know Anna except by sight, but he would be glad to know she wasn't alone.
Ricky nodded. "I will," he said after a moment, and she saw he sent a text - probably to Elyse.
Marta, now in a serious mood continued. "Ricky - why don't you hunt anymore," her voice was quiet. She knew what Ricky was, and he wasn't one of the bad ones who killed people like her, but she wondered why he didn't hunt monsters anymore.
Ricky sighed. "It's...complicated. I'll explain sometime, just not today."
Marta nodded. "I ask because I was in the dream and found a cave - and there is something bad there. I don't know what it is." Ricky gave her a level look. She wasn't supposed to go into the dream alone. "I think someone should check it out." she finished before he could interject. Ricky apparently still did work for the Atharim, it just wasn't hunting anymore. Maybe he could send someone out to look.
