There are plenty of missions that return to the castle a success - most of them, even. The defeated air of the solemn group that returns from their diplomatic mission to Andres Isle to hear the demands of dictator Dimitris Sarandis makes it quite clear that this wasn't one of those.

Starting with Sarandis' actual demands - for all Knights to withdraw from Andres under penalty of death, or for Wynn to offer his own head in return for Thomas' safe return - and ending with the unexpected, disturbing confession from Kat that she intended to stay behind on the island because she had "fallen in love with" the dictator, the events of the island made it very clear that Sarandis was cannily playing his hand to get the Knights where he wanted them.

Fred Jr. shoves open the doors with his unnatural strength, stalking in ahead of the group into the lobby. Whoever's on desk duty isn't going to have to roll a high wisdom check to see that these people are pissed... and distraught... and a myriad of other emotions on the bad end of the scale.

*I am changing the date of the briefing log and Andres log/live session to have taken place in September, to avoid us being in backdated hell forever, and to allow for a September squiring ceremony before apps are closed. Carry on... in the future!

[and she goes through a process of pulling out bottles and checking the labels and giving her new bottles of the same things. i guess this would count as craft: pharmaceutical?? even tho she's not making anything, just dispensing. but she rolled a 24 so she's not going to ... accidentally give lila the wrong drugs and murder her, ok.] It's not — I have to doctor-patient break up with you because I feel like you don't actually care about yourself. And I'll get pissed off and yell at you, and you won't actually do anything to change, and it'll keep bothering me and then we won't be friends anymore.

I've tried changing, but I can't exactly change my brain chemistry. Whatever, I said it was fine. Teddy will be back by the time Andres is over. [ or she'll be dead, so it'll be fine either way. she crosses her arms uncomfortably, turning to observe the rest of the wing instead of astrid. ]

[pathology]

Yeah, you're giving up. And that's kind of sad and pathetic. But whatever. [such teenage girl behavior up in here. eventually she finishes, and drops an extra bottle in.] I gave you the Imitrex. It's supposed to work really well if you take Aleve at the same time, so. You should.

[bittersweeter]

Okay. [ she's not bothering to hide the bitterness as she takes the box and turns to leave. ] Thanks.

[pathology]

[she calls as lila turns to leave:] Be careful, if you end up going to Andres. Who knows how we're gonna get split up, I might not be there to patch you up.

[bittersweeter]

[ she pauses at the door. ] You too. You won't have anyone to patch you up but yourself. [ so don't die. but then she leaves because she's frustrated and that makes her overly emotional so she needs to not be here anymore. ]
