You Unlocked Fast Travel!

It's been a long couple of days. At least, it felt like days. Lots of fighting and magic shit and soul-searching and non-euclidean nonsense which is all really tiring. But now there's a chance to have a rest. A real rest, not just a sit-down between fights to keep from running out of steam.

What's everyone up to?

Oh hey, Nin is up. So much for being quiet. Might as well chat for a bit.

"Sore, but no one is dead or permanently injured, so I'm going to count today as a win," Velo answers as she pulls up another chair to have a seat next to Nin.

"More importantly, are you doing okay? I know coming into the Archive wasn't something you were keen on." That, and Malcer, but that can be left unsaid. Kind of a given at this point.

"You know what, that's fair. It's definitely a win when you put it like that."

No one has been permanently injured - that's true enough. But permanently transformed into an eldritch horror beyond mortal reckoning? That...remains to be seen. And based on the Archivist's lack of an immediate solution to Niall's...situation, she has a Bad Feeling about what's coming in the immediate future.

So she'll just put off worrying about that to focus on Velo.

"Well, I never considered the risk-to-reward ratio of coming here to be all that great. But now that Portia's not in charge of this place anymore and we're probably not going to be violently killed, I'm fine." Nin's biggest objection to going into the Archive had always been the danger, regardless of the motivation. Has she learned some uncomfortable truths about both the Archive and her objections and Malcer? Absolutely. Will she own up to them on her own without prompting? That remains to be seen. Will she apologize if someone calls her out? It's more likely than you'd think.

As a self-aware hypocrite, she does try to be conscious of the hypocrisy she allows herself, after all.

"...Well. Mostly fine." She's still reeling at the revelation about her brother, and is just starting to be angry at herself for not coming in here a million years ago, the first time Malcer helped them break in.
