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

"...we can discuss that later." Lex responded.

"I don't know if I can put a price on helping someone like this." he told her, before pausing, and sighing.

"Although I DID pay Rocky... uh... well, the equivalent of about 45 Canadian dollars for the small tin of the tea I got. So at the very least, reimburse me for it so I can just buy another tin." he told her.

"That being said, I'm grabbing it and I will be there within 5 minutes." he went on.

"Where you at now?" he asked.

"Oslo." Vae responded.

"I'll appear where I usually do, then." Lex told her.

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

"Your mana should be good to come in. we're downstairs." Vae told him honestly.

"I'll see you soon." She added before the call was ended. She just sighed before looking to Kaia, then Kiah.

"Oh fuck this." She muttered before just using some of her mana to help both of them get some sleep. It wasn't as friendly as it would be if it was an Order member doing it, but she knew that it wouldn't matter at this point. Nightmares wouldn't be a thing for them with their current states after all.

She made sure they were both in comfortable positions, before making her way to where she'd sent Jun.

"Alex is on his way over." She told him honestly.

"Bringing over some tea that should, may?, hopefully help Hazel."

Jun had just finished cleaning off Hazel of any dust and dirt she had, had made sure her clothing was presentable and neat, and had replaced the blindfold over her eyes, making sure it was snug, but comfortable.

He looked over towards Vae as she told him what was happening, and nodded.

"All right." he said.

"At this point, pretty sure any little bit helps." he told her.

"...Vae, will ANY of us know peace as long as Vanessa Encrae lives?" he then asked her.

"It seems that, no matter what, no matter who you are, where you are... her tendrils will eventually reach you..."

Vae was silent for a moment.

"... No." She answered after a few seconds.

"No. There will be no peace until she no longer walks the planet." She added before looking to Hazel.

"The problem, though... is that she has a fucking contract with Elizabeth."

"I've heard of that contract." Jun responded.

"I don't know what's in it. I don't know what terms or conditions are in it. I don't know what the exact wording is. But from everything I've heard... it's one that Elizabeth was a fool to sign." he told her.

"From the sounds of it, and from the evidence displayed, she is allowed to do whatever she wants, and nobody can interfere with her." he went on.

"Why would such a contract be signed?" he wondered.

"It's done nothing but give her power over the entire globe."

"She agreed to it because of the fact that Encrae didn't read the fine print." Vae commented.

"All the dark elves are on the line. It will give Elizabeth free reign over THEM in death." She added.

"And being what she is, and what her position is, it was an offer that she couldn't resist. And I can't understand why."

"....I see." Jun responded.

"Just... hm." he mumbled sitting back a bit.

"The dealings of Haven and Hell are lost on me." he said. "I know contracts pretty well, but... this one just escapes me." he shrugged. "Just seems like more trouble than it's worth." he continued.

It was at that point, Vae felt a very familiar mana signature from within the building.

And it was followed by an equally familiar voice.

"I'm here!" Lex called out. "Headed to the basement!" he said further, recalling where Vae had told him they were.

"And there's Alex." Vae commented before sighing.

"I don't get involved with the more business side of the realms. Not interested. However, I know some things, like how part of the contract that encrae has puts her as my mothers plaything upon death." she continued.

"She was... Rather thrilled when Elizabeth agreed to that, too."

Jun raised an eyebrow.

"I... wow." he said.

"I don't... I don't want to really ponder that." he told her. "Which is to say, anything that gets your mother excited, thrilled, or giddy CAN'T be anything good." he clarified.

"I'm sure Azazel can confirm that." he added.

At that point, they heard Alex's footsteps, and Vae called out.

"Come to my voice!" she said, which led Alex right to the room they were in, holding a rather nice-looking tin in his hands.

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

"Yo." Vae greeted Alex before smirking.

"Let's just say that she was giddy enough that everyone got a break from her hell." She told him simply.

"Anyway, yes. Hi Alex." She said, looking over to the newcomer.

Lex raised an eyebrow when she said that, but Jun interjected.

"Don't ask." he said.

"...right." Lex mumbled, stepping forward and handing Vae the tin.

"That has all you need in it." he told her. "It's like a complete set, kinda thing. Loose leaf tea, the strainer ball, all you need is the water and the mug." he said further.

"And it should help Hazel?" Jun asked him.

"It's meant to promote calmness, peace of mind, destress, that sort of thing." Lex responded. "So it should somewhat take the edge off of whatever she'll be feeling." he continued.

"...but she WILL need someone there that she trusts." he then lamented.

"That... I think might be in the works." Vae commented.

"Because I certainly won't expect anyone here to be that person for her at the moment." she added after a moment or two as she accepted the tin and pulled out her phone. With a few quick motions on it, she nodded, put it back in her pocket and looked to Lex.

"Money is on the way to you." She stated

"Through paypal, admittedly."

Lex nodded in response.

"That works." he said.

"And if that's already in the works, all the better." he went on.

He then paused for a moment, and sighed.

"I should tell Lil about this." he muttered. "Not looking forward to it, but... I should." he mumbled further.

"And am I allowed to see Sebastien right now?" he asked her.

"Or do you know what's happening to him currently?"

Vae shrugged.

"No idea if you're going to be able to see him." She told him honestly.

"He's in holding, I think, at the Unit. You're welcome to go stop by, but I don't know if they will let you in or not for that."

"...hm. Fair enough." Lex muttered.

"Well, I should at least inform Lil of this." he reasoned.

"Tell her what's happened... and the reason... and hope she doesn't get TOO unimpressed." he sighed, shaking his head.

"She has a temper?" Jun asked. "Haven't heard much of it." he admitted.

"Temper isn't the right word." Lex replied.

"She... well, when she is mad... truly mad... it smolders within her. And you can tell. She's having that anger... that grudge... boil up inside her, until she decides to take things into her own hands." he went on.

"It's not as explosive as Vae's, but no less dangerous." he continued.

"I like causing destruction, what can I say?" Vae asked.

"Anyway, you don't need to hang around if you don't want to." She commented.

"I know you don't like the cold too much." She added with a laugh. "Although I've got two high heat people in the other room, if you wanna sit and stay warm."

"Normally, I would agree to that." he said.

"However, given the state of the two that I assume you are referring to... maybe not." he muttered. "Just... I dunno, not sure I'd like seeing them as they are." he continued.

"That is fair." Jun assured him.

"Anyway, I wish you the best of luck in helping them get back to themselves, and I'll do some research on my own." Lex then told them.

"Not sure if it'll be any help, but... this is one of those cases where I can't just sit back and do nothing." he admitted.

"Oh, they're asleep." Vae told him honestly.

"I can't do anything about the effects, so I just got them sleeping. Figured that'd be the easiest way for them to end up cleared of the damned mana." She added.

"since Bast either couldn't, or wouldn't, remove his."

"Oh, well, fair enough." Lex responded.

"They're not hurt or anything, right?" he asked. "Like, physically?" he clarified.

"None of them seem to be, no." Jun confirmed.

"That's a relief." Lex replied.

"Anyway, normally I would spend a little more time here, but in this case, idle time is time wasted." he reasoned. "I'll see you both later." he finished.

When the two said their goodbyes to him, he disappeared from where he stood, and Jun sighed.

"I hope your sister doesn't take this news TOO harshly." he said to Vae.

"I expect she'll come off indifferent and start planning to take the bitch out." Vae commented after a moment or two.

"I'm not sure she's bound to the same rules as I am, due to her exile." She added after a moment or two.

"That may be all it iss, and this may be all that is needed. That elf got her claws into her son. That's enough for HER."
