( afterwards—

she doesn't want to talk about what happened. she doesn't have to, it turns out, because when she's well enough to convince someone she's well enough to go home, there isn't anyone there except putin, distraught, and mercifully looking like someone has been feeding him. she knocks on a few doors to figure out which neighbour to thank and dispassionately catalogues in her mind how they all look at her (mirrorbound; traumatized) when they answer their doors in case some time it matters. )

I have some spare rooms in my house now for people who aren't weird about dogs since it's my house now.

( after the post has stood for a while, an addition is made: )

I'm also in need of someone to bond with or I'm going to end up less house-broken than Putinka. It's supposed to be witches and monsters, isn't it? I don't know anyone to bond with, so if there are witches who'd be interested in rolling the dice, let me know.

I'd help if you ever change your mind.

[trouvaille]

( a short, thoughtful delay. )

The front room is right below an unused sort of sun-room.

[usurpers]

So that’s a “nevermind”

What do you need help with?

i / ii.

[trouvaille]

I need someone to check on my dog if I get unwell. I feel weird.

ii.

[trouvaille]

Oh, renovations. I don't know. Whatever renovations need. I had a project I was thinking about at home but I didn't get around to starting it so I don't really know. Geralt did some stuff to the house but he just kind of did it, I couldn't do that.

[usurpers]

I've helped fix houses with him, I think I can do it again. And check on your dog. What's going on?

[trouvaille]

I'd need to knock out the ceiling between the living room and the upstairs above it and then install the silk hangings. I don't really know what that'd entail or how much it'd cost but it will be easier with no one living in the actual house part right now.

Nothing, really. I just worry. Geralt got weird before he bonded with anyone. And I felt fucked up before anything happened.

( that she isn't doing amazing after is both probably a given and harder to talk about. )

[usurpers]

I can do that.

[ just. hush. it was his idea anyway, so you’ll have no choice but to take his money. the latter, though . . . ]

Worried about him or bonding?

[trouvaille]

( it's a good idea. it's also giving her something to focus on now that she's run out of Tasks, which is no small amount helpful. )

I don't have anyone to bond with. I don't know if that's going to be bad for me, and if it is there's no one to take care of him if I'm not well.

[usurpers]

I’ll take care of him. Or, your new housemates.

There’re alternatives until you have a bond, do you know about those?

[trouvaille]

I haven't really looked into it.

[usurpers]

How open minded are you?

[trouvaille]

Extremely, but I don't know how I'm going to feel about whatever this suggestion is if that's what you're leading with.

[usurpers]

Witch blood. It helps.

[trouvaille]

If a witch was willing to give me their blood, why wouldn't I just bond with that witch?

[usurpers]

Because you wouldn't get it directly from a witch. There's the Black Market or Desmodus.

[trouvaille]

( she had a feeling. )

It's amazing how open-minded about exploitation being caged up and tortured doesn't make you.

[usurpers]

It’s survival.

Desmodus is a vampire bar, if that’s what’s rubbing you wrong. People donate willingly.

[trouvaille]

I'm not interested in taking anything from anybody's body that they don't give me, directly and personally, under any circumstances.

[usurpers]

I understand.

Good luck with your search.

[trouvaille]

Yeah.
