after a trying night, Vanessa was left to arise from the rubble those phantoms had left in their wake. from the ashes she would arise again, stronger than before, armour repaired & ready for battle. but with her past, with how she had fallen into madness before, Sir Malcolm found it imperative to consult a physician to care for her when the time arose. her performance at the séance was alarming & astounding enough to warrant a visit from Dr. Jekyll.
adorned in the days dress, a cloth covering the laceration to inner wrist from the previous night's events, she awaited for Sembene to show her guest to her room, a tray of tea resting just feet away. he was greeted with an amiable smile, ushered in while she poured herself a cup of freshly brewed earl grey.
❝ good afternoon, Doctor. ------------ tea ? ❞
