Who: Psyche & Rhode
What: Collecting the lost little sea maid
When: Monday afternoon
Where: Coffee shop in Chelsea

Rhode had snuck into the coffee shop when the counter staff weren't looking, dashing straight into the bathroom and scrubbing the dried blood from her face. Her eyes were wild, her hair matted to her head, and she couldn't get all the blood out from underneath her fingernails. She didn't even know where all of it had come from, she just knew she wanted it gone.

The staff told her she'd have to leave if she didn't buy anything, so she headed outside to wait for Psyche, legs drawn up, chin on her knees. About 20 minutes later, one of the teenagers who'd been behind the counter slipped outside with a cup of hot tea and a slightly stale turnover. Offering them to Rhode, she said, "You look like you could use them, and they won't miss one." Tears welled up in Rhode's eyes as she thanked the girl profusely, letting the tea warm her from the inside out.

"He means well. He just gets bored and decides to stick people with arrows. I don't know how many people I've stopped him from falling in love because I knew the outcome would be bad," she said darkly. She nodded, "I'd probably burn mine too."

Psyche watched Rhode closely, mainly to make sure there wasn't anything physically wrong with her. She had to make absolutely certain before she allowed Rhode to stand up. She nodded eventually, "Whoever this woman was, she had to have done something to you. For some all it takes is touching or sending out brainwaves or, I don't know biting to make others act a certain way. There's no telling who it might have been, seeing as there are so many gods who can inflict anger to some degree, it just depends on what kind of anger." She sighed heavily and looked firmly at Rhode, "Are you ready to stand? You can come back to my place or wherever you want to go. I'll make sure you get there okay."

Rhode smiled softly. "It's why I asked him to officiate our wedding," she said. "And we're sort of family, depending on who you ask. Love is grand, don't get me wrong, but it's better when it blooms on its own, I think." She nodded firmly in agreement. "Even if I washed them, I don't think I could look at them without thinking of this weekend."

"Sounds like the stories I've heard about some of the Di Nocti," she said. "It's why I don't really talk to a lot of them. It wouldn't surprise me at all if it was one of them, considering this smacks of their parents." She nodded to the question. "Yeah, I can get up. I don't really care where I go, as long as I can shower."
