Adrian sighed in relief. "All right, sweetheart. I'll see you in the morning. Thank you for telling me." Adrian set his phone aside and rubbed the bridge of his nose again, though the tension headache that had been coming on seemed to be cautiously dissipating. Hopefully, this would be the end of that. On the other hand, there was still a potential newborn vampire on their hands, regardless of whatever magic Loki had worked on her. Adrian didn't want to leave Teja alone, for her sake as much as anyone else's. Jesus Christ. What a vacation.

Teja seemed to come to very slowly, not aware of where she was or able to put together that she was somewhere new. Her discomfort in the new and unfamiliar bed only made her confused. She pushed her hair off her forehead feebly.

Adrian leaned forward in his chair with his hands folded.
"Teja? It's Veidt. You're still in Greece. You blacked out for a few minutes."

She heard a voice as though it were very distant. It said it was Adrian, and that she was still in Greece. But still in Greece? When had she ever been in Greece?
"No, I've never been out of the country, you have the wrong number."

"The island," he reminded her gently. "Loki brought you here. "

"Mm."
It took something approaching another minute before the details of it all came together, but she lay there completely still as though she'd gone back to sleep as she did so. When she opened her eyes and adjusted to the light of the room by staring up at the ceiling, then turned to Adrian and asked if he would show her to a bathroom, it must have seemed as though it had come out of nowhere.

Adrian cleared his throat.
"Here, I'll help you up-"

It was only once he had done so that she realized how poorly dressed she was and instinctively covered herself with one arm. "I wish Loki had thought before bringing me here-" she said, setting her teeth.

He supported her on his flesh and blood arm, to make the whole experience at least that much less jarring.
"I don't think he could have handled it too well on his own," said Adrian. "You're safer here."

"Safer? From -"
At the reminder, she grew suddenly very weak and nearly collapsed, covering her mouth with her hand.

Adrian gathered her up in his arms in a hurry.
"Here's the bathroom... you're all right..."

"Here."
He set her down gently.

He nodded and withdrew back to the room where she had been brought in the first place. The headache was coming back.
