While it may have been an well-intentioned question, it was clearly the wrong question; Wessex grimaces to herself while Aurelia vomits into a bin, helpless to prevent that kind of a reaction. She’d warned, but there’s no anti-teleportation medicine other than simply getting used to it.
“Of course.” It’s why she’s brought the Torcher here, because it’s a good resting and halfway point between the Climb and the Halovian portal. Nothing a good Ursur skin, whiskey and water won’t solve, so she gestures for Aurelia to stay in the booth while she heads to the bar and pulls her usual strings. Hi, yes, I’m the Queen of Hollowed Ground and helped build this bar, be a dear and get me two whiskeys and a water, won’t you? A flash of a fanged smile and the occasional dropping of Neron’s name usually does it when the former won’t.
She returns with the three drinks and places a whiskey and water in front of Aurelia. “Water first, then whiskey.” And then she reaches her hands across the table, palms facing towards each other. “Here. I’m cooler than the room. Might not hurt as much.” There’s space between them for her own hands, if she wants to try a slower thaw, but the Wraith will be nonplussed if she’s turned down.
