[ With a surprising amount of overall support from the team, Elena gets the opportunity to return to the Waldorf without having to sneak around her teammates, to continue her 'doppel-lessons' from Kyp.

Of course, she doesn't get to go alone, and Spike has volunteered to play guard dog. The hotel is relatively quiet as they arrive this fine evening. ]

[A beat.]

...how long does is it supposed to take?

[notaroundme]

[She seems to be concentrating, brow furrowed, but when things start to shift between her skin, the pain returns, and she's so, so, so tired already.

Her features shift, alright, but it's immediately clear that she's going back to herself again, as if her body is just used to being like that.

She's cringing when it's over too.]

S-sorry.

[imposturing]

[ kyp moves to put a hand on her shoulder, in a reassuring gesture, and to help her keep from keeling over. ] It's alright. That's a lot to ask of your body, for one day. It's not used to it.

[bigbad]

[Spike gives her an encouraging grin.] We can try again after you've rested.

[notaroundme]

[Yeah that whole keeling over thing? It might happen (fort save 5). She sort of wobbles on her feet as a wave of dizziness and fatigue rolls over her.

She manages a smile anyway, looking between them, even if she's only probably still standing because she has someone to lean against.]

Thanks guys.

[imposturing]

[ with an amazing reflex save, kyp catches her before she can drop. ] I think our junior doppelganger's had enough for today.

[notaroundme]

[Thanks buddy, you're the best.]

I think I'm going to just...sleep for an entire week.

[bigbad]

[Spike puts his hand on her shoulder.]

Let's get you back to the hotel. Once you've rested you can try again, if you feel like it. Show off for all our friends.

[imposturing]

[ kyp glances up at spike, since he's right on top of them all of a sudden and then they all look into each other's eyes and have a threesome, and then back at elena, who he gently releases. ] I'm sure they'll be impressed. I know I am.

[notaroundme]

[bow chika wow wow

He might be releasing her, but she's turning and throwing her arms around his neck. Sorry mister doppelganger, you're getting a hug.]

Thank you.

[She says it quickly and quietly, releasing him a moment later and turning to take Spike's hand. Her smile is tired, but happy.]

Come on. Let's go.

[bigbad]

[He squeezes her hand and nods at Kyp.]

So we're clear, if we meet in the field, I won't hesitate to bite you. [Sexily.] Much fun as this has been.

[imposturing]

[ he returns elena's hug, with a small hint of surprise, but rolls his eyes at spike ] I'll be sure to keep my spare fangs on hand then, so I can bite right back.

[notaroundme]

[EYEROLL]

Ugh, you two. Maybe I'll just bite you both.

[imposturing]

Is that supposed to be an unappealing proposition? [ GRIN ]

[notaroundme]

[Her mouth is just going to sit hanging open for awhile. REALLY KYP?]

[imposturing]

Kidding, kidding. [ >:) ] Now run along, you two.
