Tight squeeze.

" - I. Ellie if you hadn't come back that would've broken me - "

"And what do you think you killing yourself for me would have done-"

She makes a very unhappy noise. "I - "

"I'm selfish, I don't ever want to exist in a world where you're not."

"That works two ways. But now you don't ever have to, so."

Anathema wraps herself around both her idiots. "None of us are ever going to die again, if one of you two somehow manages it anyways I'll knock whoever survives unconscious until I invent resurrection, that's what I was going to do, Fay, if Ellie didn't come back, so can we please not argue about this?"

Small, laughing sob. "Alright."

"Only one of us two?"

"I'm not as dumb as you two. Clearly. So I extra won't die." She kisses the side of Ellie's head.

"...Think I can probably bring people back from the dead now."

"...Huh."

"...We can talk about that later, but now is for cuddling and being very sad and also relieved and I would like to have fewer dramatic conversations and more snuggly crying, please."

(She is so tired.)

"Yeah. Okay."

Oh, good, then she is going to curl around her wife and start letting all her tears out that she hasn't been able to cry because she was basically solely responsible for making Hogwarts respond fluidly to an ongoing attack. This is a very good use of a wife. Excellent for crying on.

Yeah Fay completely understands the sentiment right now. Maybe with some extra shaking from adrenal aftershocks.

Scarlet does their best to wind into the hug pile and purr reassuringly at everyone.

Very much cuddle time.

The great thing about adrenaline is it takes them a pretty long while to get hungry. 

Still - they mostly haven't eaten since dinner the day before (Anathema can't believe it's been that short a time), and they fought through the night instead of sleeping. The only question, really, is if they'll fall asleep or need to go feed themselves first. 

...Food. In Ellie's opinion.

...Yeah. Sleep's tempting but it'll be hard on an empty stomach. And if they go to sleep now their systems will be really thrown off...

Suppose they ought to get up, then.

Unfortunately...

At least with the supplies stored in the Chamber they don't have to go far to put some food in their stomachs. Though they might want to return to their suite - see how it's held up, let everyone else know they're okay, cook actual food in their actual kitchen...

Seems like a lot of work for right now.

Yeah.

Premade food out of the stocks nearest them it is.

It's filling, and that's what matters right now.

Fay agrees wholeheartedly.

(Still, she does send a Patronus to Bellatrix to let her know all three of them are alright, just. Resting.)

That ought to take care of disruptions for the next while.

Hopefully so.

She's... Not ready to face the outside world. There's a lot of work to do, but -

Other people can handle it now.

Fay would like to rest.
