[Myri asks Spike to come with her, and they check out a car, which she lets him drive, directing him to take them towards London. As they ride, she studies him in the darkness, before finally saying:]   I... meant to ask as well, how you were feeling. I heard people talking about what happened.

[Man Spike is REALLY HUNGRY. And he's eyeing Jack a little too thoughtfully (will 13), so he's just gonna... hang out in a room on the other side of the yacht. Maybe try to sleep with visions of arteries dancing through his head.]

[dragonsclaw]

[ his sleep is dreamless actually, which is probably for the best. jack is mostly silent as myri works on him, closing his eyes, brow furrowed as he stews in his thoughts. the atmosphere on the boat is grim through the night, but in the end, she stops the bleeding and gets him functional enough that she doesn't have to worry so much anymore. ] You should try to grab a bit of rest yourself, Myri. I'll keep watch.

I don't know if I could sleep if I tried. [She says with flat honesty. Her gaze drops, though.] I'm sorry. If you hadn't been coming for me, Thomas wouldn't be- [Her voice cracks.] I'm so sorry.

[dragonsclaw]

I won't stand for you thinking that way, Myrilandel. And you must realize it's an insult to Thomas to demean what he's done by holding onto guilt over it.

We've heard rumors of the facility for months, considered taking a closer look but been afraid it would be impossible to do so without compromising our cover. It was necessary, however, and we would have gone inside sooner rather than later. Learning you and Spike were held captive merely pushed up our timeline.

[She just nods, choosing to keep quiet, because she doesn't want to further upset him with the guilt that she can't shake. All she can think about is what sort of torture Thomas will be made to endure.]

[ the next morning, the boat takes off for england as promised. they all still look and feel like hell, but jack stresses that if they want to try to take the doppelganger by surprise and not give them the advance warning that might allow him to cut and run, it's going to be better to not try to contact anyone there ahead of time.

which means they're sure arriving back at the castle on the eve of elena's squiring party, looking beat to fucking hell yay. ]
