“…don’t question too much”

[i]"Dear goddess, here we go again!"[/i]

Rithrynn simply stared at Liaena as the little girl disappeared up the stairs like she was on a mission, which she most likely was. She had known Liaena for long enough to tell her that whatever the girl was up to did not primarily revolve around getting new clothes.

[i]"Countdown to disaster. 560... 559... 558... "[/i]

It was a good thing she was not involved at least.
Any further collaboration with Liaena would surely not help her relationship with the Captain. Her hands were clean this time!

...

Speaking of clean hands, Rithrynn suddenly realized that she was still oozing with the essence of sewer, its rancid touch obviously not having left her as she went to sniff her own hand. Grimacing upon the discovery, she quickly decided that before anything she'd find some water to wash herself with. Personal hygiene came before the party after all. Trailing off, the Night Elf set course for her room.

A quick wash and a few minutes later, a fresh and clean Rithrynn appeared in the living room where the festivities were well underway. Pretty much just the way they had been, for the last days. Rithrynn was now wearing a thin, purple silk elven morning robe with golden sash, an outfit she had saved for a moment like this. And also because she had pretty much used up all of Sharon's bathrobes earlier, and even leaving one with so much blood on it that she doubted even Miss Collins could clean it.

"Hey girls!" Rithrynn called out as she walked into the room, waving at her fellow sentinel. Most of them were too preoccupied or unconscious to notice her, but a few did and they called back at her.

"Haaai Rithy!"
"Where have you been?!"
"Someone's been on a special mission for the Captain, heh... "
"Wanna join our fight club? Big prizes!"

"Oh hey, oh, somewhere... and it was just an ordinary mission. And, uhh... " Rithrynn paused at the last request to look down at at the table where two shrunk Night Elves, Thali and Averina, were duking it out to the entertainment of a crowd of Night Elves.
"Uhm, nooo... I need a rest."

Rithrynn smiled, but she had barely managed to turn her head back on track before she almost collided with Naliyah's pink haired skull, which had just appeared right in front of her out of nowhere!

"Riii!" Squealed Naliyah! Rithrynn did not have a chance to open her mouth before Naliyah had already launched herself forward, entrapping Rithrynn in a fierce hug. Naliyah giggled like a little girl as she spun around with Rithrynn, and in the process collided with her bum into another Night Elf, almost knocking her onto the table with the two small elves on, only to be intercepted in the last second by one of the spectators. 

"Oh, hiiiii... eh, Nali." Rithrynn said with a slightly uncomfortable tone as she smiled meekly back at Naliyah, who stared back at her face from less than a few inches away with a lustful gaze.

"She has missed you so much, Syn'Dial. I'm glad for both of you!" Came the mocking laughter of Shani who sat in a cushy chair not far away, leaned back as she held Donald against her belly. Eventually becoming aware of Donald's attempts to communicate with her, Shani turned to look down at the tiny assassin with big eyes, eventually hoisting Donald up in front of her face to throw him a dark look.

"What did you say? ... " Shani asked with a low voice, throwing the assassin a seething glare.
"Call me 'Sweetheart' one more time, and I swear will eat you!"

Shani warned, licking her lips as she stared at the tiny man. But as Donald's face gained a slight pale tint, she suddenly broke out into a laugh once more!
