Hannibal's house (which he and Jono are very happy to have back), Monday evening

[sharp_as_knives]

Anyone who thought Hannibal wasn't going to celebrate things being back to normal by bathing, getting a manicure, dressing his best, playing the harpsichord, and then cooking just about everything in the pantry really didn't know him.

Of course, all that food needed an audience, didn't it?

So, flyers were going up all day long (courtesy of NPCs other people):

Come eat, drink, and relax while the world's not ending!
22 Phoenix Place, tonight

Because some others might want to talk or just be together and reassure themselves things were better.

And some people coped by cooking.



[Open post! No OCD. Moddable food, but tons of it, along with plenty to drink for those that need it after last week.]

"She's alive." Kaylin's face brightened even through the exhaustion. "And running around."

She was quiet for a moment as she picked at the food. She was hungry, but just so tired. Give her a minute though and she'll be digging in.

"She fell," Kaylin said. "Like down the stairs. Her back was broken and all the nerve things were wrong and she... she wasn't really there in her body and mind, you know?" She looked up at Hannibal anxiously to see if he understood. "My mind had to kind of go looking for hers after I fixed all the body stuff."

And then she'd collapsed unconscious for two days, but hey, all that mattered was that the little girl was okay.

"Nerve and brain damage and a coma," Hannibal translated. "Well, Ms Neya, you have done me one better, I see. Modern medicine in my time cannot reliably wake anyone from a coma. And now I wonder what you might have been able to do had you been here this last week."

Apart from likely kill herself trying to heal everyone.

"Nobody's really supposed to be able to do it in Elantra either," Kaylin admitted. "But I just couldn't let her die without trying."

And she most likely would have followed the girl into death if she hadn't been able to revive her. Kaylin wasn't the best at knowing when to stop.

"In that case, congratulations." Hannibal wasn't going to tell her to be safe; he rather suspected that was a lost cause. "And eat your food."

Telling Kaylin to be safe? When a baby or child was involved? Yeah, pretty much a lost cause.

"This is really good," she said, talking with food in her mouth till she looked up and saw him. Then she stopped mid-word and finished, swallowing carefully before she repeated what she'd said. With an added, "Sorry."
