Rescuing Rafael could have gone much worse... And then did, when Rafael, desperate to feel alive and free again, got himself into a car accident. He came out of it alright, but injured, and they headed back on a plane after a whirlwind wedding had happened the same night between Dean and Rose, which Elena and the fiendish version of Sam had dropped in on - as well as Bobby Singer. After the madness of that night, Jack sent word back to them that if they had any family that they wished to keep safe, they could bring them back to Krozna. Rafael and Isabella insisted on picking up Giorgio, Nellethiel, and their children, Giulia and Pietro. Alainn picked up quite a bit of family as well - her adoptive parents and siblings from Ireland.   They return to Krozna together, where everyone can get acquainted and recover from the ordeal of their close calls in New Orleans before pressing forward.   There would be months for them to train, and the pace of life in Krozna to settle in, far from the chaos of the rest of the world.  

The date is now quickly approaching for the upcoming meeting at the "Darkhouse" where they hope to acquire more leads about the dagger that was used by Blade in the ritual to kill his father, Malaak'a.  

This log covers all social things for Failboat between the first social log and the Darkhouse (months worth of time skip).

[ tia has also been staying on at krozna after she came back with news about draken crombe. it seems that she's fully on board with team failboat as well, open about her disdain for hasmed and solace "taking over" the way that they did. she spends a lot of time talking to jack and practicing psionic combat, but she also tends to take time to herself to read in the main room, to walk the hills and mountains in the region, and to be pleasantly social with the others. ]

[familybusiness]

[Time for a long overdue conversation. He catches her when she's on her way out for a walk.]

Can we talk? Privately?

[No doubt she has some idea what they're gonna chat about.]

[telekinect]

Why don't you come with me? [ there's a knowing look in her eyes that seems to indicate that yep, she's been waiting on this one ] Bundle up.

[familybusiness]

I'll grab my coat.

[He'll have to make sure they don't go out too far, he doesn't want other particular people listening in, and Dean's protection only goes so far, but surely a bit of a walk won't matter?

He's bundled up when he gets back in a couple minutes, complete with jacket, scarf and gloves.]

[telekinection]

[ tia herself is equally bundled, and has one of those russian hats that are all fur too. it's a good look. she waits until they get a little ways out before she glances at him. ] We don't have to go too far. Just so that no one will overhear that we don't want to.

[familybusiness]

[I rolled a percentile die. He got an 84. He thinks it's adorable.

That said, it doesn't take him long at all to realize the implications of what she just said out loud, his brows furrowing.]

Does that mean you can read my mind?

[telekinect]

All things considered, that's probably a good thing.

[familybusiness]

[He's been convinced that Glasya would have kept that bit in place, so that people couldn't catch his thoughts about her, to learn things about her existing in the first place.

There's a lot of hatred swirling around every thought of her now.]

I'm not complaining. Just surprised. [A beat.] I had that block removed. I didn't know exactly how removed yet, though. I'm hoping you'll be able to tell me.

[telekinect]

She agreed to do it?

[familybusiness]

She didn't just agree to it.

[He looks at her seriously.]

She was training me.

[There's a bitterness to this entire conversation; he'd trusted her in a way that he knows now that he shouldn't have, and he's not sure what to do about that now.

He's choosing to trust Tia instead, which is frankly difficult for him, but he's out of options and she's proven trustworthy in the past

She's know about him this long, after all.]

[telekinection]

I'm going to need you to show me, Sam. [ there's a delicacy to her tone about the subject at least ] I don't want to invade your privacy if there's things you want to keep secret, but whatever you're willing...

I should know what she was training you to do.

[familybusiness]

Are we talking I show you what she taught me to do or you look at what happened in my head?

[Well that's awful. He visibly winces, but nods his head all the same, in quiet acceptance.]

She just...got under my skin, you know? Knew just what to say to make me...

[He shakes his head. There's no point in giving her excuses. He's been around a telepath long enough to know she can likely read his regret as if it's on a flashing sign.]

[telekinect]

Both. Either. [ her voice drops a bit, her eyes studying him carefully ] Only what you're comfortable with.

[klep]

[Felicity spots Tia on one of her sweeps through the halls, and she diverts, making her way over to the couch. She doesn't plan to separate her from her book long, she just wants to say quickly:]

I never got the chance to thank you, for vouching for me.

[It doesn't seem like it should be a lot - she only told the truth - but in that room, it meant a great deal.]

[telekinection]

No need to thank me. I could read the room... after everything else, that could have gotten ugly fast.

[klep]

[She nods, her eyes going a bit wide as she moves to sit next to her.]

Tell me about it.

[Not that she begrudges them for their paranoia she just would have rather not died again.]

I don't blame them. But I have noticed how they can be a little stab first, ask questions later.

[telekinect]

Hopefully, they learn to temper those instincts a little with a telepath around.

[klep]

One can only hope.

[There's a pause, then. It's uncomfortable, like she doesn't really know how to ask this, but Tia seems like she would be the most reliable one to ask.]

Can I ask you something a little awkward?

[telekinection]

I used to work with kids. I'm used to awkward.

[klep]

[She would take a kid level of awkward over what she's about to ask right now, but she nods in response.]

So this spell. It didn't ... just make a magical new body for me. It put me in someone else's.

[So ... hence the awkward part of it all.]

The body was in pretty bad shape, so I think she was dead when I got there ... like the spell put me in as the other soul was leaving, but I was wondering if it was possible for you to make sure? That I'm all alone in here?

[telekinection]

... Have you been feeling as if you aren't alone in there? Intrusive thoughts? Feelings out of nowhere?

[klep]

Honestly? All if this is just super weird.

[None of this really feels like her own, and while sometimes her thoughts feel like hers, this is the kind of thing that has a way of drastically altering your worldview.]

I haven't been in this body long enough to not feel like a visitor anyway, so while I don't think I've had any intrusive thoughts, all feelings are a little out of nowhere right now.

[telekinection]

I can certainly check if you think it will give you some peace of mind - but there's always a possibility that it won't. Are you ready for that?

[klep]

[She nods.]

I need to know, for better or worse. If she is there, at least I can be aware of it if those intrusive thoughts and feelings pop up.

[And she can hopefully work towards finding her a way to ... resolve this somehow.]

[telekinection]

Alright. You're going to feel me... in your mind. I need you to let me in.
