[She nods in agreement because fair enough. Right now, she doesn't have enough ammunition to push the issue, but eventually that will change.]

We might still have some paint left at the bar from when we were setting up.

Prob'ly still some out at the garage, too. I commandeered some of Rogue's tools to put my baby back together again. And all those pretty houses and picket fences, there's gotta be some somewhere.

[He's sure they can find whatever they need.]

[Aiden nods]

Shouldn't be too hard to figure something out.

[and hey, maybe Barbas won't expect something so low-tech, for lack of better wording. low-magic? whatever]

[stupetballs]

I'll let you guys know what I find. And I'll bring by extra food when I have it.

[Who knows how often that will be but Hella Shorty's will be getting a kitchen soon so that will make things a little easier.]

But for now, are you sure you guys are okay?

[No being big strong men just to make the woman here not worry even while she's trying to fake it till she makes it herself?]

[Ray pauses a moment and then huffs out a breath.]

I say I'm fine he's gonna call me out on it. I've been better, been worse. Sooner we can get rid of this dickhead, the better we'll all sleep. [A beat.] Literally, considering the fucking nightmares.

[He looks to her.] Anything we can do to help you?

[the_vigilante]

[Aiden gestures to Ray. he's -- not fine, but he's been worse]

[(that's a complete and total lie, considering he's the one having the nightmares, but he will be a big, strong man, thank you. it's what he does.)]

Same question.

[is she okay? can they help?]

[stupetballs]

[She shakes her head because she's fine. She's totally fine.]

I'm good. Just keep me in the loop. And get some rest.

[She probably won't be able to get any for a while, someone might as well take advantage of it.]

[fortheportfolio]

[Yeah, Ray knows how that goes. He also offers her a look that says just that - but he also doesn't push it, just nodding.]

Same goes for you, lady.

[the_vigilante]

[again he tips his head in Ray's direction. what he said]

[stupetballs]

[She nods with a small smile.]

I will do my best.

[Which, in the end, is all you really can do. And with that, she'll head out and leave them to rest up. /scene]
