"Mkay." Read.

There's something special about a comforting hug when you're crying, warm cuddles when you're cold, or a reassuring hand when you're scared. Having sex when she's sad isn't entirely the same as any of these things, but it's in the same category.

...okay, when she runs out of tears to drink she's going to go ahead and take Lianelle's pants off. [Do you want me to send you guiding again, it's - relief, it's maybe good for this? It's good for after there's a bad dungeon and the people in it were really fucked up and the monsters were really scary.]

[That sounds nice.]

May finds more fluids and licks those too and sends it.

Lianella makes complicated comforted faces about this and gasps at the sending.

When she's backlashed a bit less she wants a turn, but like, only if Lianelle is still whatever passes for in the mood, she can take care of herself while snuggling if necessary.

Once Lianelle has orgasmed she's snuggily for a bit but then can reciprocate.

"Thanks."

"Pleasure's all mine. Or like roughly half of it."

"Mm. You're really good and I like you a lot."

"I like you a lot too." Nuzzle.

Nuzzle.

"Best champion I could ask for."

"Best summoner."

Kiss.

Kiss! Kissing May continues to be very nice and comforting.

And eventually she checks the news again. Two down where she could see them, four or fewer to go.

There's nothing when she first checks, or an hour later. But soon after night falls there's an article about how someone's taken the entire audience of a late night show hostage along with the host and crew.

"That's just fucking tasteless, why even -" Are there demands on record.

She wants to negotiate with "May" and refuses to elaborate on who that is.

"Absolutely tasteless. At least the snake duo showed up out here in person." She shows Lianelle.

"Tasteless?"

"Hostage-taking. There are more adjectives in the world but that one came to mind first."

"Doesn't usually happen during tournaments but I think that's because most mages wouldn't care that much about non-mages."

"Well, I may have been excessively revealing of my personality during the ritual."

Does the TV station have a phone number.
