Foot steps raced through the snow, into Eris' compund. The door slammed shut as she continued the break neck pace back to her room, black hair coming out of her neat braid.
Ragged gasps, choking gasps stuck in her throat as she fumbled to take off the heavy woolen winter coat and boots. Tessa threw them aside as they came off, and used a random burst of magic to start a fire in the fireplace. Finally, she locked the door, and turned to prepare herself some coffee.
Fingers shook as she used some strange machine that Eris had soemhow created to brew the coffeee. This was a bid deal to her- coffee, and caffiene in general, had always worked more like a drug n her. She suspected it was because of Eris' earlier experiments, with the resistance to poison, but had no way to prove it...
Shivering, she picked up the small mug of the coffee and moved to her bed, setting it on a side table. Tessa curled up, and started to slide into more of a half-form before catching herself. Slowly she unfurled, and sat up, now-slitted yellow eyes wide in fear. Trembling hands reached for the boiling liquiquid, and she took a gulp...
Immediately a bout of loopiness began to work upon her, but it realeased her tension and let troubled ideas fall forth. What if Khe hated her for being so rude? Why couldn't she accept herself the way she was? Correction, who she was becoming? Why couldn't she just give up her fear of being serpentine? She had at Casrina's, but not quite on purpose....Was she travelling in the right direction with her life?
But another long sip made all these worried thoughts disappear as her mind became more muddled, and them ug of coffee was set aside.
((Closed to whomever. Meaning only one character with Tessa at a time. But once the character leaves, a new one can enter. Khe got dibs.))
