Dom's upstairs in the usual guest bedroom, a little the worse for wear for having completely forgotten how to take care of herself - wonder where she learned that from, huh? - but give her a solid night's sleep and she should be something approaching social. In fact, do give her a solid night's sleep before you go knocking, unless you want to hear her tell you all about the mean old man who hit her and drugged her. Which I did, but I stand by it.

We had tomorrow afternoon scheduled to go over that folk-tale, right? If it's not tomorrow afternoon, can we bump it to then? Long weekend and my time zones are all messed up.

Dom's here? And you had to knock her out? Is she... well, no, she wouldn't be all right, otherwise you wouldn't have done that.

Fuck.

I'll stay clear of her until tomorrow. She doesn't need anything to help with the sleeping, does she? I could leave one of my potions with Moira or you to give her if she needs it. No, wait, she'd be having the sleeping pills, wouldn't she? I'll just sit and wait then.

It was tomorrow morning, but the afternoon's fine. See you then. Need to give Meg something more interesting to practice reading on before she does something horrible to Spot the Dog.

She's not hurt, just overtired and underfed and doing a startlingly good impression of the 'with my shield or on it' crap I used to pull on a regular basis. One of the reasons I suggested you hold off until tomorrow is that Moira headed down there to see her an hour or so ago, looking very purposeful, and hasn't come back yet. I think that's probably a good sign.

Afternoon it is. I promise I'll be coherent; I just need about fourteen hours of sleep and amazingly, I don't think that'll be a problem.
