Who: Lilo Pelekai, Sindre Skwigelf, and Dani Winchester.
What: Lilo had an encounter.
When: Monday night.
Where: After Lilo leaves Mordhaus and goes to Sweden to find Sindre.
Warnings: Mentions of domestic violence, may be triggering. Swearing.



When she'd come to, she'd felt blood crusting around her nose which was most assuredly broken. Testing out her right arm, she whimpered in pain, clapping a hand over her mouth to cut off the noise. Teja had twisted her arm and the shoulder was most assuredly dislocated. When he'd thrown her into the wall, her nose had broken, and from the feeling of the gash on her forehead and the lost time, she'd been knocked out.

She knew he'd meant it. She'd finally pushed him too far with her words, and he'd hit her out of anger instead of lust. She'd known that the threat was there, that Teja was as much a killer as a good person deep inside. And she also knew that whatever good he'd had in him was forever lost to her. He didn't love her anymore. He didn't care that the baby was gone.

Stumbling to her feet, she managed to get outside despite her throbbing head and swimmy vision, taking the portkey to a place just outside of Stockholm. Lilo had only been there once, and she was glad that she still remembered where it was. Knocking on the door and leaning heavily against the frame with her good side, she was unaware of how her breath rasped, how she was still crying, how bloody her face was. She hoped Sindre was home; nobody else would understand her desire to not have them confront Teja, to just let the secret die. She wasn't with him, and it wouldn't ever happen again. She just wanted to get healed and go home and sleep for a month.

Sindre had been working on his current project for the past hour - stringing beads together in an intricate weave that, when finished, would be a choker. He'd been so absorbed in his work that it was a wonder that he'd heard the knock on the door, but when he did, he popped up, and walked around to the foyer, unlocking and opening it to see Lilo.

And his heart, which had been sky high since Dani had accepted his proposal to move in, sunk heavily at the sight. His eyes widened and filled with tears immediately as he gingerly and silently led Lilo in. He led her to the kitchen as he sniffled and wiped the back of his hand across his eyes. "take a seat on the chair," he murmured, motioning to a chair as he took a washcloth and used spell water to wet it. Crouching beside her, Sindre started to cast, and with his eyes still streaming tears, he healed her. "I'm glad you came to me. What on earth happened, Lilo?"

At his tears, Lilo blinked, wiping her own with the back of a hand. "Nothing really - I'm just glad I remembered that you can heal." She smiled a little weakly, shrugging. "I - " She wanted to tell someone, but she didn't want them to tell anyone else. She wanted someone to be aghast, someone to be as upset as she was, but without going over to tell Teja, or get too involved. "I got into a fight. They obviously won." She shrugged and tried rolling her newly healed shoulder. "I've been in fights before lots of times."

Sindre started fretting with wiping the blood from her face with the damp washcloth, "This certainly doesn't seem like nothing, Lilo." He bit the corner of his lower lip in concentration as he slipped his hands into her hair and pulled it back gently to get it out of the way. "You look so sad! Oh, Lilo, I'm sorry." He wiped his eyes again and headtilted at her. She obviously was scared, and sad, and the fact that he just healed a broken nose and a concussion was enough to know that he wasn't going to let her just go home right away. He stood up and offered his hand for her to stand up. "Come sit down, I need to introduce you to Dani, anyway. You can tell me all about it in private if you'd like, though. I don't mind."

She bit her own lip, shrugging. "You didn't hit me. I just..." Her voice trailed off, and she wiped tears away from her cheeks again. "I wouldn't have come if it hadn't been a big deal. Your phone call made me happy, I'm glad you have someone, just." She shrugged, standing up when he offered her his hand. The name Dani made her smile, and she wondered briefly if it was a guy or a tomboy, but didn't mind much either way.

"I'll tell you if you promise to tell nobody. Not even Cassie. He'd go right over and shoot him for hitting me." Which gave most of it away.

Sindre led Lilo to the living room and offered her a seat on the couch before he dropped down on the floor and looked up at her, sitting right in front of her. He hadn't stopped crying yet, and likely wouldn't so long as he knew she was so upset. "I promise not to tell anyone, I'm good with secrets." He dabbed at his eyes with the back of his sleeve again, and obviously didn't catch the hint of who she meant. He held her hand and leaned against the front of the couch, looking up with his legs stretched out across the floor.

Sitting down crosslegged on the couch, Lilo picked some invisible lint off of her jeans and shrugged. "Apparently Teja isn't upset about me losing the baby, and he hates me now or some crap, and when I fought back because that's what we did when we were a couple, he sort of reminded me that we're not." She bit her lip hard to keep from crying again. She was so sick of crying; she felt wrung out a few times over.

Shaking her head, she shrugged. "At least I can stop pining over him. Othnar's not home and I couldn't find him, or I would have gone to see him first. And Cass - don't tell him, he'll go shoot Teja and they'll never stop fighting and Soren will get stuck in the middle. I just want to not think about Teja and never fall in love again and just start collecting cats until I grow older and older and die and they eat me. So, since that's all done with, who's Dani?" She managed a reasonable facsimile of a gleeful gossip's smile.

Sindre's eyes went wide at the story, and shook his head, "That's awful, Lilo! Teja did this to you? I can't even imagine how that must... and he seemed so cheerful the other day when I went over there to meet with Torii. I'm sorry!" He squeezed her hand and shook his head once more, not caring about what else had to be said, it just couldn't compute to him that Teja hurt someone that he'd cared for, even a little. Teja was never the most rational person, but even this was beyond what Sindre had expected out of him. He never hurt family, and never hurt people he cared about.

This scared him more than he let on. "Oh heck, Lilo, please don't let his crap get in the way of your life and love! He's trifling. He's a bad egg. I know he mostly means well, but that doesn't mean he's very good at doing right. What he did to you is inexcusable, and scary, and you don't deserve to think that you are anything but a beautiful, lovable, tough lady. You can't let yourself fall for such a... a... A jerk like that." He bit his lower lip and tried to compose himself.

"He likes his new girlfriend. I'm sure he was cheerful. I called him an emo little shit because he is, otherwise he wouldn't have to throw me across a hallway to end a conversation." She shrugged a little, tossing her hair. One of the many ways Lilo dealt with things that upset or hurt her was to force herself to scorn them, or at the very least grow indifferent to them. Deep down, she wanted to cry into her father's arms and be six years old again, like she should have been. The universe she'd been thrust into had been nothing but unkind to her, and she wanted to go home. She wanted her sister. She wanted her biological parents for ten more minutes. There were a lot of things that would have cheered her up, but none of them were available, so pretending that she didn't care was the option she went with.

"He's done with me. If he still cared, he never would have hurt me. Now I know. And maybe later on I'll want someone else. I love Othnar, but he's married and he's... well, Othnar. I don't know. I don't know what I want, and I don't care. I'm sick of thinking about it. Seriously, less talking about me and more about you. When I think about my fucked up pointless life, I get upset. Please, you talk, you're still hopeful and shiny and new."

Sindre gave her a look that was as good as saying "don't say that about yourself" before he sighed and slid a hand through his hair, looking down the hallway. "Dani's my ex. Well, no wait. Ex-ex. We broke up about a year ago after I caught Dani cheating with my best friend, in my house, but it's okay now, because I know it wasn't because she didn't love me, but she didn't want me to break her heart. I spent so long loving her that I knew I couldn't fall in love with anyone else. She's the reason I couldn't see anyone as anything but friends with benefits or a fling, because I knew it wouldn't compare." He shrugged. "She's a dancer, she wants to be a pathologist." The way he said 'pathologist' made it obvious that it was a new word to him because he enunciated every syllable, making sure that it was right. "She's in the shower right now, I should go and make sure she gets dressed before coming out to meet you. That would be really awkward, I think."

Lilo smiled a little more genuinely when she heard Sindre talk about Dani. "That's really sweet, and it's so good of you to be understanding. Girls do stupid things, especially when we're scared of losing a boy. Most boys don't get that. And pathology's neat, I'll have to ask her what sort."

Dani, as it stood, was towelling off from her shower and slipping into the blue silk kimono she used as a robe. Tying it around her waist, she chuckled a little at how large it was. Humming a little to herself, she brushed her hair and moved to twine it around her head to let it dry.

Sindre smiled and stood up to go down the hall. "Don't disappear on me," he said to Lilo with a tiny smile, before knocking politely on the door of the bathroom. "Dani, my friend Lilo is here, she had a bad fight with someone and needed to get patched up. Come say hi!" He had told Dani about Lilo and the other girls he'd slept with while here, but he still felt a little bit of nervousness. It, he figured, was the nervousness one gets when he's faced with having to introduce two different people who'd had his dick inside of them. He blushed at his own thought and leaned against the wall.

"Oh, okay! I'll put on pants then, and a shirt, just give me a couple more minutes, okay?" She smiled and wiggled into some pajama pants and a cami that she'd taken in with her. She wasn't too worried; she trusted Sindre implicitly, and when he said he'd called the people he'd slept with and told them no more, she knew he had. That, and she knew Lilo was generally a trustworthy sort as well from the times she'd met her at Cass' house (sometimes she'd tagged along with her brother for the sake of tagging along and driving Robbie insane). Padding out into the hall, she waved a little at Lilo, smiling. "Hi, we sort of know each other where I'm from, but not super well. Are you okay?"

Lilo blinked when Dani sat by her, shrugging a little. When the younger girl wrapped her arms around her, Lilo sighed, hugging back tightly.

Sindre smiled at the warm sight and nervously twirled a lock of his hair, before he decided he felt a bit awkward. "I'll go make tea for everyone. I think that helps a lot. There's some yummy berry tea I found in the cupboards, I'll make that." He wandered to the kitchen and gave the girls a couple minutes to hug and get themselves introduced before coming out with cloudberry tea with plenty of sugar in each cup. He handed cups of it to both the ladies, before sitting down with his own, sipping it. "I'm just glad you came to me to get healed, Lilo, and came to see me. I just can't tell you how upset I am over this."

Lilo sniffled and waved a hand before wiping her eyes, once Sindre was out of the room. "Ex-boyfriend," she shrugged. "Don't tell anyone, because it's not a big deal - it's not like he'll do it again." Dani just nodded, smoothing Lilo's hair out before moving behind her to plait it.

When Sindre came back with their tea, Dani smiled at him and blew him a little kiss before going back to Lilo's hair. Lilo chuckled a little at Sindre before sipping her own tea. "Why? It's over. I'd be more pissed if I were still in love with him or god forbid still dating him."

"Do you think he'd be capable of doing that to someone he was currently dating? I don't think he's that type!" Sindre blinked, sipping his tea with wide eyes. "I hope not, or his current girlfriend is really in a bad way. I just... I don't know what to think when things like this happen. Especially to people I know. It's unthinkable to know that some people are so capable of that kind of anger and... gosh. I just worry so much."

"During sex, if the other girl is into it? Actually, yeah. He never did get off quite so well unless I was bleeding." To Dani behind her shoulders, Lilo winced and offered a murmured "Sorry about the graphic."

"Oh, don't worry about it," Dani shrugged. "I've met worse. And yeah, be glad you got out of that." Dani finished with her hair and offered her another hug. It was obvious that Lilo wasn't hung up on Sindre at all, and even if she had been, Dani would have felt for her.

Sindre's eyes welled up again and he shook his head. "That's just awful. No wonder you were so surprised by me instead. I don't understand it at all, honestly. I cannot even imagine how that sort of emotion can be carried over at all. When I get mad, I take it out on fabric, not on people." He shook his head and sighed heavily. The whole thing scared him to tears, and he wiped them away yet again. "And of all the people to hurt, no less. Someone as sweet and brilliantly fun and kind as you, you didn't do anything, you just spoke your mind! That's not even rational!"

Dani rolled her eyes. "If she spoke her mind against him and his fragile male ego - "

Lilo interrupted. "Just don't call him emo, god fucking forbid." Lilo rolled her eyes, then sighed a little. "Maybe I will date again someday, but it'll be with someone who's never killed anyone in anything less than self defense or protecting others." She grumbled a little to herself, shaking her head. "See, now I'm pissed off. I'm going to go surfing and let some waves take it out on me. That's what I do when I'm mad."

Sindre poked his tongue out at Dani. "I know it's not about me, but give my side of the sex some credit. It's not our fault we've got some real creeps. And just so long as I don't have to try and resurrect you over it, go for it! I really hope you know that I value you, Lilo. As a friend. You're so sweet, that I don't know what I'd do without your kindness in the world. And your strength. I don't know what it is, but I seem to be attracting a lot of very strong female friends lately." He pondered that, but left it alone with a small smile.

"I'd be mad, too, though. You have every right to be mad. Heck, if it weren't for the fact that he's protected under his own darn laws, I'd say haul his butt to court."

Shaking her head, Lilo smiled at her hair, one hand going up to pat the braids. "No, see, now he has one less friend where he only had a few to begin with. One day, he'll need me, and I won't be there. That's fine by me." Shrugging, Lilo smiled and wrapped her arms around Dani, then Sindre. "Thank you, you two are really nice for fixing me up like this. I'm going to go get my board then go squat in some tourist's house." She waved, putting her flip-flops back on and heading toward the door.

Sindre smiled and walked her to the door. "I hope to see you again soon, Lilo. It's a pleasure to have you over, no matter the reason. If you ever need anything, just call me. I'm up at weird hours, and even if you get my voicemail, I'll call you straight away after I get the message." He kissed her cheek and opened the door for her. "See you soon."
