Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

Ash just sighed heavily.

"Thank goodness." he said.

"That is a MASSIVE relief." he told her.

"Thanks for telling me." he said further, pausing for a moment to think about something as she looked at him.

"...I'd ask if you want one of those vitamin waters I make that you like so much, but... something tells me that that might be one of the farthest things from your mind right now..." he mumbled.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Anna didn't say anything for a few sseconds. She didn't really ave anything to say before just laughing lightly, ominously.

"I'm bailing before I kill you." was all she said before vanishing in a twist of vines, leaving a dark and far more ominous and oppressive echo of her for a few seconds.

While Ash knew that echo couldn't hurt huim, the fact that it remained did say more than her words did about what her mental state was.

"...oof." he mumbled.

"Am I EVER glad I know how to shut up and read a situation." he said to himself, stepping back inside and shutting the door.

'At least Ashleigh's gonna be okay.' he thought, walking deeper into the manor.

'What the hell happened, though...?' he then wondered. 'She was attacked by a Fallen, but... something seemed... off...' he realised.

"But... what?" he asked himself.

"Surely there's more to this than a Fallen attack..."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Sure enough, Ashleigh was able to head home a few days later, and it was Lindsay who had picked her up, due to Ash being at Lux to connect with Cass, and to ask her to keep an eye out for Casey, as well.

"Ugh. I feel miserable." Ashleigh admitted as she sank onto the couch after they'd gotten back to the house.

"Any idea when ASh'll be back?"

"Probably within the hour." Lindsay replied.

"He's going to talk with Cass and ask her to watch out for Casey." he told her.

"So shouldn't be long." he concluded.

"At least your injuries healed." he then said to her, sitting across from her.

"Though it IS odd that you're seemingly unwell." he commented. "That rarely happens." he said further.

"Do you want a drink, or something to eat?" he asked.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Ashleigh just chuckled, but it did devolve into a sigh.

"I know. There isn't much that can survive my body temp. It's weird that something is, and is raising my temperature, even. Nothing extreme, but still." She commented.

"as for a drink, that'd be fantastic." She then said. [b]"Some of that vitamin water, if there is any, would be fantastic.

Lindsay smiled when she said that.

"Of course." he replied.

He quickly rose from his seat, made his way to the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of said water, and paused as he looked at it, sighing quietly.

"...I really hope this doesn't get worse..." he mumbled, before making his way back and handing her the beverage.

"Here y'go." he said.

"There anything else I can do for you right now?" he asked. "Or are you content to drink the water and just... well... be there for now?"

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"I'm good for the moment." Ashleigh answered.

"How're you holding up with all that's going on?" She asked.

"Rene filled me in."

Lindsay looked off to the side.

"...I'm managing." he told her.

"I mean... my wife is out there wandering Europe to try and hide from Fallen angels, my son is... well, he's been living his own life for a bit, but I hope he's okay, my daughter is with the vampires, probably constantly freaking out internally..." he listed off, getting more and more agitated as he went, before suddenly stopping and forcing himself to calm down.

"At least we're doing okay for now. I'm okay. I have to be." he told her.

"What about you?" he asked.

"You had an encounter with the Fallen. That couldn't have been pleasant, to understate it."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Ashleigh didn't say anything for a moment or two.

"... it wasn't." She admitted.

"It took all I had to use my mana to get him to fuck off." She continued. "But, it's also confusing. I'm wondering if he infected me with something."

"Hm." Lindsay mumbled.

"Normally I'd say they shouldn't be able to do such a thing." he told her.

"...but I don't know if conventional knowledge is even worth anything anymore." he admitted, thinking about it.

"It... is IS possible." he went on.

"But... you'd think it'd be traceable. Or mana-based." he then said.

"Rene said the mana scan showed nothing, yeah?"

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"Yeah. That's what he said, at the very least." Ashleigh confirmed with a nod.

"If nothing else, it's nothing that HE Knows of." She added with a sigh.

"And I'm not sure what to make of that, either."

Lindsay crossed his arms over his chest and thought about it.

"Hm." he mumbled.

"I don't know what to say." he said. "Just... I... I don't." he repeated.

"This is just... darned weird, to understate it." he went on

"But does it feel like you're getting worse?" he asked.

"Or are you just sort of plateaued where you are NOW?"

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"I think it's plateaued." Ashleigh answered.

"I just have nigh on not fuckin' energy to do anything, and suffice to say - it sucks." She added after a few seconds.

"So I'mma be useless, I'm sure. For however long."

"Hey, at least it's not worse." Lindsay said. "At least it seems like your life isn't in danger and all... whatever this is... has done is knock you on your ass." he told her further.

"You're entitled to be a LITTLE useless right now, after what you've gone through." he reasoned.

"And Ash and I will defend you with our LIVES if the Fallen come here." he declared, before pausing.

"...though I wonder if they've learned their lesson..." he mumbled.

"You DID get the better of them back there, after all."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"I barely did." Ashleigh admitted. "I barely managed to do it. I don't know. It was some mix of my dragon fire, my elven mana, and something I don't think I have EER tapped into before." She added

"I don't know what the hell it was, but an avalanche of rocks, and yeah. I got caught under it." She tiold him.

"I think the Fallen got hit by a few good rocks or boulders too, which is why they took off. I think. It's a guess, if nothing else."

"...really, now." Lindsay replied.

"Tapped into something you don't think you've EVER tapped into before?" he asked.

"And an avalanche of rocks..." he went on.

"Hm." he mumbled.

"Fascinating." he continued.

"So... you're saying YOU caused that avalanche, potentially?"

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"It does seem that way, yeah." Ashleigh answered.

'"Never done tha tbefore, but I also know almost nothing about who gave me half my genetics." She added.

"For all I know, I have human mana too." She finished with a light shrug.

"I honestly have no idea."

At that moment, she could see the spark of intellectual curiosity in Lindsay's eyes. She'd brought up a virtually unknown part of her past, and the possibilities... the conjecture... it was swirling in his mind.

He looked almost positively giddy... but then seemed to mentally ground himself.

"I see." he said.

"I suppose we could ask your mother." he told her. "...after all THIS nonsense is done, of course..." he mumbled.

"Or... should we not?" he then asked.

"Is that a... sore spot, I guess?"

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"I... don't know." Ashleigh answered after a moment or two.

"I've never brought it. Never... never really had the chance, if I'm honest." She added.

"Probably should, if I survive this. I'm a bit of a big target." She then said, referring to her rather large wingspan, and how she couldn't hide her wings like her daughter could.
