(song Meme) If I die before I wake, hope I don't come back again
He managed to find them an old, dirty little hotel room after the encounter with the assassins' guild.

She knew something of him, of the Rider, of the demon in his soul. That he could never love her. Not really.

She'd still never seen that side of him.

She'll wake up bandaged, with the smell of strong alcohol filling the room. Some of it was used on her injuries, a lot of it went into Nick to help kill some of the images he saw deep in the eyes and souls of evil men.

He's still there, staring out the window into the dirty streets, wondering what her impression will be when she wakes up.

Its rarely good.

	"Nick Salem." he responds, turning about and taking a look. She's beautiful. And bad for him. Or more likely, would be really good for him if he was capable of being good for her. Not the case. Not ever. "No need for threats, last thing I want to do is hurt you. The guild did plenty of that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

A cold shiver moved down her spin the moment he spoke to say his name. It had been a long time since she last seen him.

Etoile eases back in the bed, giving out a soft sigh, "Didn't think I would ever hear that name again."

The first guy she ever fell in love with. He was bad for her in many ways, she threw away that disregard and still loved him.

"Yeah feels and looks like it."

	He moves back to the bed and sits down. He shouldn't. He does lots of things he shouldn't do. Starting with offering her his bottle of Jack Daniels. "Don't have anything else for the pain, but it should take the edge off." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Etoile slowly inches herself up, she could feel a rib dislocated as she moved. She bites down in pain, before letting out a breath of air..."Good god that hurt." She takes a hold of the bottle without blinking an eye, taking a good sip of the Jack Daniels. "Thanks for this, and for saving me again. You always seem to find me..."

	"That's cause of the people you keep running yourself into." Damned honesty. But then she knew he wasn't a white knight. "The Rider found them, then retired for the night to let me bring you back here. Sorry about the outfit. I'll find you some clothes you can wear home, when you're in any shape to get there."

	"Yeah, well, someone has to find my parents. Might as well be me." She snaps back. Etoile takes another sip of the drink before handing it back to him. "It's fine. I can't remain here idle, not when I'm this close to finding my father." She said, before slowly moving off the bed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ok, so he's staring. He tucked her under the covers - for need of warmth on her part, not any sense of decency - but if she wants to get up, he won't complain any. "No arguments here. There's a few less obstacles in your way now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She gives him a thumbs up before shuffling to the bathroom to wash up any dry blood and just wake up period. "Good to know." She said. Etoile has changed from the last time he was with her. She still is sweet, innocent and scattered brained. Right now, all of that is thrown out the window. She is focused and determined to find her family. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He did his best to do a decent job cleaning her up. Most of her clothes are bloody rags, or got salvaged for bandages. A couple of the towels in the bathroom are also losses for the same reasons. Not much else was going to be strong enough to help sort of hold her ribs in place.

No way she should be going right back out, but not like he's going to stop her. He's done dumber things.

When she does come back, he's taking up half the bed, working on the bottle a bit more and watching cheap motel cable.

	"Thanks...again. Same to the Rider, even though he couldn't give a damn about me, but still." She said to Nick. Etoile looks around for something decent to wear. She wasn't really good at small talk, would do her best to not even start it up, right now small talk is about the only thing she could offer to him. "So, how are things with you?" She asked.

	He tosses her his jacket once he figures out she's looking for clothes. Its not much - he said he'd go find her something, but that hasn't happened yet. "Hey, you know... taking care of business. Keeping the shop going now and then. Enjoying life above ground while it lasts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Etoile looks down at the jacket he tossed her way. With a thankful nod of her head, she carefully picks it up to place it on her naked form. First things first, look for clothes.

"That's good, that's good." She said with a weak smile. "Hopefully you won't need to save my ass this time around. It seems to happen a late..especially with these guys. I swear they increase in numbers every time I come here." Etoile says as she slowly pushes herself off the bed.

	He watches her moving around, finding a wall to lean against. "Hey, no problem. I'm pretty fond of your ass, after all. And they do increase in numbers. They know they're being investigated and have powered folk looking into their business, so they're hiring out extra muscle. They'll get into the powered mercs next." (Reply to this)(Parent)
