"Well, any detail you can give. They'll want to put out alerts and try to hunt it down."

So she gives all detail she can. It's a bit fuzzy, coffee magic is still not much different than, well, coffee.

"Thanks for the information. You look exhausted - and you've been up for days. Terrana, we have a lot to take care of, but Kaede doesn't necessarily need to be here for all of it." Terrana looks a bit nervous, glances to Kaede. 

"I don't know. I'm - pretty unsteady right now. She helped me so much, visited me while I was..."

"...Well, this will take hours to do properly. More depending on some details. And we'll probably want you back tomorrow too. Kaede, what do you think?"

"I think she should crash at my place and we should return tomorrow to do whatever's needed when I've had time to sleep and she to decompress. Decompress more, anyway, she'll possibly not be done with it by tomorrow."

"We're already here. W-well, if you're really that bone tired I don't think one more night will change things that much...?"

The receptionist shakes her head. "I need to organize a bunch of paperwork and email directors and so on anyway."

"If you prefer to stay you can, of course," she tells Terrana. "Or you can sleep somewhere else or anything, you don't owe me anything. I'm just probably going to drop like a stone rather soon."

"Oh, I owe you everything. I owe you magic, even, I did promise. And you'll do well with it."

"...well, if you have a way of giving me magic that won't mean anyone'll get permanently dead forever I won't exactly refuse, but that's not what I was getting at."

"We'll go talk to the river spirit. Work out a deal. And I think I would rather stay with you for a while."

"I can send a cab to come get you whenever you like tomorrow. This is definitely something discretionary fund-worthy."

Nod. "Let's go, then?"

Small smile. "Yeah."

Off they go! Public transport!

Terrana might be crying, quietly, softly.

...uh oh. "What's wrong?"

"I'm just. Thinking properly about everything now. Overwhelmed."

"Can I help with anything?"

"I'll hold up. Just have to get it out of my system."

"Okay."

Hug?

Yup, hug. There will be lots of hug for a while.

Lots of hug she can do.

Eventually there has been sufficient hug. She sniffles. They arrive at the stop nearest her apartment soon enough. Terrana waits expectantly to be shown the way.

She is shown the way! The place is modest but very well-kept. It has only one room, though.

"I'll sleep on the couch, don't worry."

"-Oh. Thank you." She seems to think about something, then blushes. "Can I... Nevermind. I don't need to borrow clothes yet - it's a drain on my magic to keep these up for so long, but that's okay."

"You can borrow whatever. Really. Make yourself at home. I'm going to take a shower."

"Alright."

...She sits on the couch, not sure what else to do.
