A Really Bad Week

[governorkang]

There was something different about the tavern. Typically, the mood in it was cheerful, almost homey; for the past few days, however, it had been... solemn.

It could have been blamed on a number of things. Because of the recent strike against GLaDOS, people were remembering those that had been repodded, and Hisk, the previous helper, was among that group. Kawalsky, Cassie, and two of the people in the pods had been killed. And lastly, though it was public knowledge by that point that Hiccup and Rose had been hurt, it wasn't yet known exactly what had happened or how bad it was.

Kang knew, though.

All of that combined equaled a somewhat mopey draconian behind the bar.

"If she doesn't, you're welcome to stay in my quarters. There's an extra bed in there," Kang offered, after a moment of hesitation. Back on Krynn, he wouldn't have even considered doing such a thing as to offer a spare bed in shared quarters to a human female; his kind's reputation was too well-known. Here, things were different, though. Very few were likely to jump to the wrong conclusion.

She'd smile if she wasn't exhausted and mentally drained. "...Is that okay? If I see her I'll have to explain everything and... and I'm not sure I'm in the right mind now. I think I need to lie down first. Collect my thoughts. I need to tell Snotlout, too... I think. Unless they both met up with the chief already."

"I'll leave you be if she does. I don't want to be a burden."

"You won't be a burden, Astrid," Kang assured her. "I understand completely if you're not ready to talk about it with anyone else."

"Thanks. Where is your quarters located?" Because she's barely hanging on here as is. She could just konk out right on this table.

Kang dug his omnicomm out of his pocket and fiddled with it for a few moments, "There. I sent you a map. Now go rest."
