"Perhaps we both might." *Rochester assured her, still unclear on how many days he had lost to that hazy oblivion of drunkenness.*
"And maybe a stroll in the air after tea would help loosen away all the fuss that's been plaguing us, no?" *He added chipperly. It was always easier for him in the morning. He felt more like his old self.*

Shadi's eyes crinkled as she smiled around a huge bite of sandwich and nodded.
"Just the thing," she agreed, because it was something, and it was a plan, and it wasn't sitting about here waiting to see what the next move was.

*Rochester seemed contented by that and nodded, pouring the tea.*
"Was there something in particular that would like to see done with the day, darling?" *He asked gently, not eager to push his will on her, though things seemed comfortable enough at the moment.*

"Not really," Shadi said, though she thought it would be good to fill it with something, anything. "I need to tell Pina I'm okay, though. What about you?"

*Rochester gave a dismissive flip of his wrist, caught up in her previous statement.*
"Surely. Where might we find the lady?"
*He knew all too well what it was to worry for Shadi and he did want her friend to suffer it. Besides, it would be nice to do some proper calling. The corner of his mouth turned up slightly.*

((Here's the problem; Renn's hardly ever on. So if we want to gloss over this--just say 'oh, they did this'--and leave it at that, then we can find Renn when she's on if she wants to play it.))
"The carnival, outside of town," Shadi said. "She... was probably really worried about me." Shadi bit her lip. She'd been a mess--it'd be a wonder if Pina didn't think she was dead in a ditch somewhere. "I don't know what she'll do, but she needs to know."

((I'm willing to play it however is best. I normally like to wait on the person, but if we keep things vague, I think Renn would understand. And I would love to get in some more RP with her when she has the time. We could check though, if she had some other form of contact information. Maybe see if she's on IM?))
"Of course, of course." *Rochester agreed eagerly, only then taking in the rest of what she'd said.*
"Carnival? Which one?" *Had she been so close that night? But then again, he hardly remembered that night, as drunk as he had been.*

"Oh, um, they call it the World of Wonders," she said. "Just outside of town. That's where I was. Why?" She wondered what difference it made; or whether the fact she'd been in a place like that was some sort of problem.
((I'll find her. We talk sometimes.))

((Thanks. I'd feel better knowing she was ok with it.))
"Oh!" *Rochester was surprised, but only in that it was familiar. And it left him with a rather confused expression.*
"And you...were there with her?"

Shadi gazed at him curiously, her head tilted slightly to the side as she watched him.
"Yes," she said. "We had an act. I... threw knives at her. And missed," she clarified. "Impressively."

"Oh." *Rochester blinked. Now that was a surprise. But it made its own sort of sense in a way and he laughed it off gently.*
"I always knew you were a lady of many talents, darling." *He added with the hint of a smile.*
"But yes. We should see to her straight away." *He glanced down at his plate.* "Or perhaps straight away after breakfast."

She grinned at him. "It does take talent to miss," she said. "All my training was the other way."
Shadi stuffed another sandwich in her mouth. It seems her appetite had not suffered. It never did.
"Mmm," she said. "Maybe we could bring her some, too."
((Renn is okay with us glossing it over, BTW. So let's just say "they went, and Pina was cool, yo."))

((I figured she would be, but thanks for checking.))
*Rochester chuckled.*
"I doubt any of this spread will survive, but we certainly can find some sort of gift for her. Wouldn't wish to appear inhospitable." *He winked playfully.*

Shadi nodded.
"I just want to be sure she'll be okay," she said thoughtfully. "And it'd be nice to get her something nice to eat. We've been on camp food for awhile."

*Rochester's nose turned up in distaste.*
"Oh my. I don't know how you bear it." *He nodded decisively.* "Well it certainly won't do to have your friend suffering so. We'll have to prepare a proper basket for her."
