The Clean-Up Crew

I didn’t, but recent events have shown me a different light, Ardeth. I don’t know what to tell you, but it’s looking a lot like you wouldn’t know from here. Perhaps talk to your boss about that, because whoever sent them was a male, I got that much.

Legolas I know close to everything that goes on. Don't undermine my position.

I broke it when he didn’t properly restrain me while him and his friend decided to attack me.

What? Is this a joke? You really think I want a war? You clearly are not as intelligent as I had hoped; NYU must be slipping. None of my friends or family attacked you Legolas. I would have known. I would have been able to get that stopped.

I don’t need your help anymore. Whatever game you all think you’re playing, it’s done, Ardeth. You tell your kinsman I hope his nose stays that way for a while.

Sorry, had to read that a few times to try and process it. Still don't know what you you're suggesting though, Legolas. None of us have been playing games - not from my knowledge. Not a single Ereborean knows I even speak to you. I thought I made that a bit clear. But now I'm rather curious, what exactly happened to my kinsman's nose, Legolas?

Walk of shame again… Although I don’t feel ashamed at all.

So I take you were out all evening?

The look on her friend’s face and the tone in her voice made Tarian wince inwardly. She felt horrible for calling her friend in, but she was the only person she knew would come without question - She wouldn’t call Tharnith, the man already had too much trouble on his plate from what she heard. And her father was a lost cause, he probably wouldn’t have even answered the phone. The last thing she felt like doing was explaining herself to Matty if he wasn’t still at work - so Ardeth was the only option she knew she could count on (and thankfully was her first.)

When Tarian gave her apology, Ardeth shot her a hateful side glance but spared her a nod of recognition after a moment as her eyes latched to the other woman's. "Later." She responded in a hard tone, obviously struggling to keep composure. A twitch shot through an arm and she was quick to delve her shaking, fisted hands within the deep pockets of her trench coat. As they walked from the holding cells to the front of the station, Ardeth put on a friendlier face, the best she could manage, and thanked the other officers on their way out, stopping every once in awhile to make a quick chat before exiting.

Nurse Doughnut// Ardeth and Fili

An audible groans could likely be heard by Fili in response to the knocking. Another, louder groan followed when he announced himself. Ardeth was flopped on her couch, hidden amongst an array of blankets and pillows in an attempt to sweat out her sick. Likely to hide herself from the world. The television was playing on mute and the woman had long forgotten what had originally been playing she she'd turned it on earlier in the day.

No, no…not a bad thing at all. It’s a good time filler really…

Looks like we're both just filling time then. 

Some of the usual homeopathic remedies are often just common sense… drink a lot of fluids, and those with vitamins C and D help more.  You know, those kinds of things.  I hope your doctor can get you in quickly so you’ll be able to recover quickly.

Very true. I was thinking more along the lines of distilling water, boiling it, turning it into ice, then boiling it again. And then those foot swabs that became a fad a few years ago.
