Who: Orithyia and Boreas What: Boreas gets an energy boost and puts it to use When: Sometime after Orpheus' concert on Friday Where: Vermont, Orithyia's farmhouse Warnings: PG-13, to be safe
The past few days had been a comfortable blur……….once he’d been able to stay awake for any length of time, he had gone to Vermont with Orithyia. The storm he’d unleashed in New York had been a violent one, and outside his season. It had taken a toll. Added to that was the stress he’d been under, the power he’d been using for other things, the fight with Zephyrus.
He’d slept off the worst of it and had begun to enjoy his time with Orithyia. To talk to her again, listen to her, to touch her.
She had been there when he fell asleep, was there when he woke, and had brought him to her home. He had done what he could to help her here, in between making up for lost time and then sleeping it off again. Despite his exhaustion, he was enjoying himself. He’d gain his power back, in time, though it would certainly be awhile. He’d have to take more time off from work, and he’d have to be careful about who he said what to. Or….he should be careful. Even weakened, Boreas wasn’t the type to be anything but brutally honest about what he was thinking.
Boreas didn’t enjoy being in the state he was in….but he’d resigned himself to it. At the moment, he was in bed again, as he had been on and off during the last few days. He’d just woken, and was weighing the merits of getting up against those of staying put. Doing nothing in bed, alone, might have been necessary…..but it was incredibly dull. Orithyia had probably snuck off to get some packing done again, no matter how he tried to convince her to leave it. Boreas had just about convinced himself to make a decision when it suddenly became a great deal easier.
He felt good. He felt a great deal better than he had since before the storm, he felt some of the cold he’d used up return to him. Boreas sat up and swung his legs out of bed, stretching briefly before getting to his feet and striding purposefully out of the bedroom.
