Blood from Stone [AU]

[Tethras Clan]

"Performance?"

[Jassinth]

"Yes, that. That part was not so good."

[Carver Amell]

"Story of my life," he groans. "Dammit."

[Tethras Clan]

Merrill nuzzles against his neck, then pulls away. "How are you both feeling?"

[Jassinth]

Jass groans softly. "My mouth tastes like moldy loam and my face is stuffed with cotton. Also my stomach is... not acting stomachy."

[Carver Amell]

"It's just a hangover," Carver says, with a small shrug. "The headache's gone, so I'm alright."

[Jassinth]

"Hate you so much."

[Tethras Clan]

Merrill smiles a little. "What're plans for today then?"

[Carver Amell]

"I..."

He sighs, glancing at Jassinth. "Let's go visit Aveline. She should be off work. Maybe she'll take pity on Jass at least and heal him."

[Jassinth]

"I will pay in sexual favors. Or animals skins."

[Tethras Clan]

"Probably have better luck with the skins. Aveline is married. And very Vangal-y."

[Carver Amell]

Carver blushes, but doesn't comment. "Right. Shall we? You okay to walk, Jass, or should I try to hire us a carriage?"

[Jassinth]

"Ummm. Is there a privy here..?"

[Tethras Clan]

"Oh dear." With a grunt, Merrill wiggles off Caver to let him help Jass get... well, taken care of enough that they can leave. It does take a bit longer than it normally would, but eventually the trio plus dragonling make it to the za'Franes'. They have a nice place, having upsized when Aveline moved in with them and the twins were born. Nicely maintained, big tree out front and a small garden in the back. As they approach, Hunter perks up just before Shadow lets out a yip of greeting from the backyard.

[Carver Amell]

A bark, thank you -- Mabari don't 'yip', even when excited. They're big dogs, after all. Carver smiles faintly to hear the dog, moving to knock on the front door as he's in the best shape to do so.
