"You won't have to again. I'll take you back to the others." she says, putting one big paw on Nemain's shoulder.

"I hate being alone," she said, leaning against Nailah's avatar with a sigh.

"You'll be whole again soon. As much as I jest about the whole of you worrying too much... well I'm fairly certain it was mostly thanks to you that Sam came after me in that other world."

Some time later

Postby Samantha McManus » Mon Oct 14, 2013 3:23 pm

After some time had passed, Samantha stalked into the sanctuary. It seems the intervening time hadn't done much good for her attitude.

Nailah still seems to be sunken in meditation, her hands cradling the stone containing Nemain.

Samantha let out a snarling sigh of frustration and sat down across from Nailah.

Well, mostly. She seemed... twitchy.

It doesn't seem like she noticed Sam. Really, she's just sitting there, holding something that doesn't belong to her. The audacity.

Her eyes fixated on the object. She tensed and relaxed a few times, as if debating it.

Nailah still doesn't take notice, only shifting slightly occasionally. The stone almost seems to call out to Sam...

Her impatience finally won out, and Samantha lunged forward, her hand grasping for the stone.

There's a flash of light as Sam touches the stone and suddenly Badb and Macha find themselves floating in a black void along with Nailah and Nemain.

"Sam?"

"Well it isn't the Easter Bunny," Badb snarled.

"She's been hard to hold back," Macha admitted.

"I still say we're better off without the little traitor," Badb fumed.

Nemain gave a hurt look.

"We said we'd give Nailah a chance to help out," Macha reminded.

"It was hardly her fault that she had to suffer." Nailah frowns at Badb.

"Of course it is, she rolls over for everything but what we want."

Nemain balled her fists in frustration, but held her tongue.

"What we want, or what you want?" Macha chided.

"Oh I see how it is. Now that she's in earshot again you're back to being the bloodless crossing guard, aren't you?"

"Macha dragged me back here. I still say the little faded creature is worthless."

That was then, to Macha's but especially Badb's surprise, Nemain strode up to the loudmouth and clocked her in the jaw.

"You... you hit me," Badb said in astonishment, rubbing her jaw.

"And I'll do it again if I have to! You only think of yourself, not who you hurt!"

"What did you do to her?" Badb asked Nailah.

"What, now you still think there's something wrong with me? Why should I take that from you?"

"...we'll keep her," Badb said with a faint smirk, still rubbing her jaw.

"Come on," Macha said, "let's get everyone back inside."

She reached for the other two, and their forms blurred together. Before long, the Morrigan in all her glory stood before Nailah.

"...thank you."
