Kali opened her eyes, then wished she hadn't. The dim lighting made her head hurt, although she was still able to recognize the room she was in.
Mm? I don't remember coming here last night... Just drinking with Dhargun... kinda fuzzy after that... something about him... something sweet...
"Awake now, love?" asked a soft feminine voice.
"Think so," groaned Kali. "Got anything for a pounding headache, Shika?"
The succubus shook her head. Today her hair was ice-blue, and her features were as pale as snow, with dark, bottomless eyes. She was also wearing clothing; a simple white shift, slightly transluscent or opalescent in places, but more elegant than anything else.
Gone for the solemn ice-queen look today, I see.
"Yes." Shikhaela placed a gentle hand on the redhead's temples, and Kali felt waves of healing flowing through her, spreading from the forehead on down.
"Thanks," said Kali gratefully.
"First time drunk, I presume?"
"I was drunk?" Kali said in surprise. "Although it would make sense, I guess... but I asked Dhargun to watch out for me."
"Apparently, he had other things on his mind." Shikhaela's voice was serious, as was her face. "Involving you and him sharing a room for the night." Her eyes met Kali's green ones.
"Hell no. He's a nice guy," the fire mage said defensively. "And I appreciate you watching out for me, but I'm NOT a little girl anymore."
"Maybe so, but we worry."
"What, who else was involved in dragging me out of whatever last night? Magmar?"
"Fireblaze."
Kali swore under her breath. "Did I sleep with anybody, or was I hauled out before anything happened?"
"Before, fortunately."
"Thank the gods for that at least," she muttered, turning away from her friend. Shikhaela, knowing better than to try and get close to the sometimes prickly woman, didn't attempt to close the distance.
"Can you watch yourself around him, next time?" asked the succubus. "As long as you're concious, I think you can handle yourself. But don't get drunk, please, love?"
"I don't plan on getting drunk again. Stupid headache. Anything I have to watch out for from Fireblaze? Snide comments about last night?"
"Not really on your part... but he's vowed to castrate your friend."
"HE'S GOING TO CASTRATE DHARGUN?!!!"
