{SE} In remembrance

A panther in the night, a fire burning bright. Ray laughed at Neos' predicament. It seemed like he'd truly trained himself to go to sleep whenever exposed to the flower.  "I'll go grab some." She disappeared behind the counter of her shop, into the back, and up the stairs to her apartment. Getting to the kitchen she quickly made  a pot and upon grabbing to mugs, returned to where Neos was stretching. Ray placed both mugs and the pot on the table before filling both mugs. While Neos stretched, Ray sat and sipped her coffee. She shook her head with a small grin as Neos waved off a possible head wound.  "You say that but you'd regret it later if you hit your head. Those can be the most irritating in terms of the healing process." She insisted, remembering full well her previous concussions. They had been horrible to deal with. r a y The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. —Albert Camus
