Prepare for the #LodanRespawn2024 Existing characters may choose to be displace from/have memories of different timelines, thereby allowing returning members the option to retcon their whole character. These changes are the result of the "Unnatural Fog" plot device that is running between now and the Respawn. The plot is simple: no matter where your character is, that place is shrouded in a thick fog that suspends time, but not thoughts or memories, so even if they're repeating the same day over and over again, they continue to remember, so each time feels like a new day. For those retconning OCs; this is where new versions of themselves have the opportunity to replace the old versions. Official lore and tree updates will be announced asap
"I thought I only needed to be worried about half the population trying to make a move on you," Amon whined. "Now I gotta be worried about everyone making a move on you..."

And now that made her chuckle.
"Why? I'm not going to cheat on you." And it's not like the gender of the people who tried to flirt with her ever really depended on which gender(s) she was interested in (despite the fact society seemed to condition most girls into not making the first move, so that lowered their numbers).
And tthat applied to about everyone else too. It wasn't like people only got flirted with by the people they wanted to get flirted with. Even her mother still was a victim of that eventually, and Rose was a middle-aged widow; a bit of an unavoidable downside in being a velvet, if Edelweiss was to think of it now.
"It's not that..." Amon said, voice muffled a little from having his face still covered. "...I just don't like it when other people oogle and flirt with you..."
"...I know you're just being friendly and simply returning the conversation..." he continued, moving his face so that it was no longer covered. "But I don't like it when they think that they have a chance of getting with you...I don't want to ruin any interactions you have with others, and I know I'm just being selfish, but I don't wanna share my honey bunny..." he concluded, tightening his hug a little more.

"Well, half the times it's me being friendly - and the other half it's my job forcing me to be polite even when they're not. Can't really keep a guild of entertainers thriving if possible patrons find the leader rude, kind of the same way how you had to tolerate Alistair while doing business with EIRAL."
She moved her hand away from stroking his hair for a moment and brought her fingers to move his fringe away from his eyes instead.
"But there's a limit to things still, so it doesn't mean you have to share me" A little smile spread on her lips and she had the thought that, if it had been easier in the positions they were currently at, she'd have kissed him. "for anything that matters, at least." There was definitely no one else going to lie down on her lap, or on her bed. Or anything else of that sort.

Amon merely nuzzled Edel a little more at her words, briefly mumbling "No...mine..."
A few moments later, his grip started to slowly begin to loosen and his eyelids began to get heavier; any energy he had due to this brief excitement was quickly being whisked away as he started to doze off again, mumbling something about how no one else would make her sappy poems and being cross at the Twins for showing her where he hid them in the first place.

"...And there went my chance to make you eat breakfast going down the drain, isn't it..." She spoke in a mix of mild surprise and amusement at how easily he was going back to sleep already. Since he didn't seem to be looking nauseated anymore she had thought of convincing him to try and eat something to not start his supposed recovery time with skipping a meal, but couldn't really hope for much in that department if he's already only half-awake again.
"Oh well..." It's not like she couldn't let him rest some more. The morning wasn't going to end the next minute. So she figured it was alright to just make herself more comfortable too and gather him up closer. There were still some things she'd like to talk about, but they could do that once he's actually awake enough to respond.
Meanwhile she'll just be there serving as Amon's personal teddybear-pillow and pass her time finishing reading those poems of his.
For the most part, Amon simply continued to doze, making little movement other than to get into more slightly comfortable positions (though still not letting go of Edel).
He was mostly still out of it for an extra hour or so, and probably would have continued if it weren't for the smell of breakfast wafting in.
"Hmmm...?" he softly mumbled, opening his eyes slowly.

One of the advantages of Projection magic: one could technically be in two places at the same time and wander around the house (and into the kitchen to fetch food and cook once getting hungry) without having to leave their previous spot, and then bringing the food back to 'yourself' again.
Which meant as Amon woke up, Edelweiss was exactly where she'd last been when he'd fallen asleep: serving as a mix of living teddybear and pillow to the mechanic - but she was now lazily eating a freshly-made plate of berry pancakes with syrup, and there was another plate on a tray on top of the other things on the nightstand, along portions of yogurt and toasts, two bowls of fruits salad, a jar of juice and a pair of cups. "Good morning again." She greeted him with a little smile after swallowing another forkful of pancakes.

Amon lazily began to get up, and after momentarily in matching himself from Edel to rub the sleep out of his eyes, moved in to give her a deep kiss.
"Mmmm~" Amon hummed. "Sweet...just like you~" he teased in a slightly sleepy manner.
"Looks delicious..." he continued, sitting up in a more comfortable position, snuggling up next to Edel. "Though I didn't feel you get up (unless I was that dead asleep and you were that skilled)...Projection magic?" he asked as he skewered a strawberry and ate it.

"Mhmm." She replied with a chuckle and a nod, moving as well to hand his his portion of food as he sat up and giving another, quicker little kiss before he snuggled down next to her once again. "I could have tried to physically stand up, but didn't want to risk it. Besides using telekinesis to cook while not seeing the food would get me questionable results." She could have still tried either way, but didn't think anyone was that good to get away with it without making a mess (at best).
"Did the nausea go away?"

"Mmmm...for the most part..." Amon replied as he began to eat. "Still comes in waves, but not as often and nowhere near as bad..."
"...I will have to say, that despite being a tad emotionally drained, I feel as though a huge weight is off my back..."

"I felt that way as well when got you here yesterday. Literally." A matter of fact, plain and simple. "You're heavy." Although admitedly she's just teasing him a wee little bit (and poking his cheek with a finger along it), no lies have been told here. Carrying him all the way to her apartment had been no easy task, and her back was still a little sore. But she'd live. As things were now, she agreed with what he said in the intended meaning as well.
"I owe you a lot of things if I remember our conversation from earlier correctly..." Amon replied with an apologetic smile, gently taking her hand in his and planting a light kiss on her head.

That response was met with a half-smile; not counting the free piggyback ride she couldn't see anything else he owed her other than 'try to stop acting insane', so that barely got the list with a plural number. As for healing him, the redhead didn't think it counted as a favor since she figured if their roles had been inverted and she was the one who got injured, he'd also have done the same for her. What else did he think he owed her? How curious... but the hand-holding and little head kiss got a giggle from her.
"Not really. I dealt with the bulk of emergencial guild procedures last night before receiving your message, so Elaine and Stephen should be able to keep things in order until tomorrow evening." And while she could easily imagine a few of the children passing by, be it for a visit or anything they actually needed, that shouldn't be happening in at least till the end of the day unless anything else unexpected happens. "I still want to give them a call by the afternoon just in case, but other than that you shall have my undivided attention for the next couple days."
Even if it might be annoying for him to have someone glued to him all the time, he technically was at her place to recover his health and not just because he wanted to, and therefore she should make sure he's indeed recovering.
Talking of undivided attention though, she'd just realized something: they were both filthy. Not in the stinky sense, thankfully, but they definitely weren't clear either. The events of the past night (for Amon a messy, excruciating fight to death, and for Edelweiss a long trip through the moldy dark tunnels carrying the weight of someone heavier than herself) left a layer of dust and plain dirt over them that - unlike the blood, sweat and any organic fluids - a cast of Health couldn't naturally rid off. And now that the life emergency was dealt with, the more stressful pending topics too and even the hunger, that was the most urgent thing her mind was flaring at her. "Once I finish this I really need a shower though... Care to join me?"
Amon paused for a moment, his face beginning to turn pink.
"...You can go on ahead...I'll go after you..." he said as he began to cover his face and pointedly look away.
"...I don't want to 'attack' you again..." he muttered.
