"Yes, please?" Asar-Suti is a god, and he has been waiting for just this kind of opportunity.

She looks at him for a moment, confused, and then goes back to staring at the door and shuddering.

"Did something go wrong? Do you need help? You were calling to the gods; I am one. What can I do?" he says, ignoring the others fussing over the stricken Kes.

She sways a little, disoriented.

"You're a god, too? No wonder Lochiel was upset..."

"Yes, I am his god", he says casually. But talking about his own affairs somehow feels inappropriate right now, as the woman has clearly been dealt a terrible blow. "However, I am glad to provide divine assistance to anyone who might call on me. We gods are like that."

He totally lets the remark about Lochiel being 'upset' go. He had seen that Lochiel was upset. Lochiel was also mislead, and Asar-Suti is certain he will make him see the proper, violet, light soon enough. Lochiel is his, after all. No doubt about it.

She shakes her head violently, bringing her hands up to cover it for a moment and rocking back and forth on the floor, before looking up.

"No. No no no no no. Go away, just... just go away..."

"I can't just leave you to your fate; you might damage yourself in this state, and then my Lochiel could justly blame me for not having helped his friend", he starkly says.

She looks at him blankly for a moment, and then at Richard, who's approaching.

"No... go away."

Asar-Suti has met Richard, and knows that Kestrel will be in good hands. So he shrugs and retreats, as he's clearly not needed or even welcome. Lochiel must have influneced this woman against hi. But no, that cannot be. Why would his Lochiel do that? She has probably been influenced by Cheysuli, and now has influenced his Lochiel against his own god.

He sighs, and goes back to the fireplace, and stroking the cat. He observes the commotion that involves an unknown Cheysuli and his lir (Brennan, perhaps?) from the distance, without making another move.

Richard walks over to her.

"You all right, Kes?"

He realises that this is a stupid question, but he had to ask.

"Gods, Richard - "

She grabs him and clings tightly, shuddering.

"No. No, I'm not all right, not at all, no..."

Nonononononononononono

"Tea," says Charlie, for it is the cure for all ills. "Hot tea, please, Richard?"

"Tea sounds brill, I'll be right back."

*runs to fetch tea for all*

Charlie will drink Kestrel's unwanted tea. He has no problem with that.

Richard's drinking his own share of tea rather quickly.

At least it's not making the headache worse.

He smiles at Richard a bit wearily. "And how was your night?"

[ooc: also shows off new icon :)]

"Not bad. I finished Interview and I've started Lestat and Body Thief. I have rather a lot of questions."

"How have you been?"

{ooc: the new icon is too perfect}

"Bit busy. Had a concussion but one of the security people healed it, and had to throw out Darien because he was too dangerous to stay here.

Just started Lestat. I find it a bit difficult to read, knowing the actual bloke."

He sips. It's been a long night.

[ooc: Hee! And the other new one.]
