Adrian unlocked the back door to the shop, showing his friend inside with a sigh. It was never the same since Shinzo left.... he went and turned on the lights for her to see.
" The back rooms and upstairs is the liveing quarters, this is all part of the main shop areas." He told her since there were boxes about with magical supplies. He smiled softly to her a bit.
" Would you like me to cook you something? Some tea? Anything?" he asked her.

"How about that sleepy tea or whatever it was?" Kesika replies as she finds her way into the door and over to the first solid thing she can lean on. Though the trip back had been somewhat sobering the effects of the very strong alcohol were certainly making their effects known.
"I figure I'll be sleeping like a baby but not having those dreams to worry about would be nice as well." She continued, sighing a little as she cast her eyes back over to Adrian.

He nodded at this going over to the shelves and takeing a few items off of it. He then went to moved past her but stopped, waveing for her to follow him to the back room where the kitchen was.
" Sit down at the table. " He instructed her as he went to the stove and turned it on to boil some water as he mixed the herbs and then put them into a hand made tea bag while muttering a spell upon it. He then raised his hand up to pluck a feather that suddenly appeared from the air. He tied it to the end of the back, before settleing it next to the stove on the counter waiting for the water to boil.
" You okay?" He asked a bit nervous as usual, always the spazzy one at the coven in the old days.

Though she wasn't sure how, Kesika managed to make it to the table to sit down. She slumped down in the chair and rested her head in her crossed arms. Keeping her head up was a fair bit of effort, especially since everything was starting to spin a little now too. Maybe all that extra strong alcohol wasn't such a great idea, she'd probably be dealing with one of the worst hangovers she'd had in a while. A great thing to have with all that had gone on anyway.
"I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I'd probably be better if I was hit by a truck as well." She told him flatly, still not sure if she should even bother this one with her problems for the time being of not. It wasn't like she wanted anyone's pity anyway and that was all she imagined she'd be getting for the situation.

" Well being hit by a truck won't help matters anyway." Adrian mused a bit as he leaned against the counter looking back to her.
" I know you have had it hard....but there are better ways with dealing with things Kesika if you don't mind me saying so." He told the girl as blue eyes flittered over her sullen form with a bit of a sigh.
" We have all gone through so much in the past few months..... this whole situation just sucks really." Adrian spoke lightly as he shook his head and crossed his arms a bit.

"So how should I deal with it? Any time I try to do anything it just falls apart." She tells the other witch bluntly. Her pale green eyes glancing up to his own blue ones for just a moment before they fell away again.
"So everyone else getting shafted with the fall of the coven is supposed to make me feel better then huh? Misery loves company I guess but I don't see it being a positive either way." heck she might even feel better if no one else had taken such a blow. Between everyone who had died or defected over the whole mess though there didn't seem to be any happy endings.

Adrian shrugged a bit at this. " Still trying to figure that part out on my own. Though I have to admit... people getting 'shafted' doesn't really make me feel better either." He told her in a bit of wonderment as he looked over to her. He grabbed the kettle as it sang for him and poured her, her tea as he walked over to her.
" I wish I could make things a bit easier on you child, I feel partially responsible for this whole mess." he confessed to her.

"Why would things ever be easy huh? Only times I ever feel safe with something it up and changes or dies on me. What's the point in hoping for anything now?" She told him bluntly as she watched him prepare the tea, good god she hoped that would knock her out or something since the alcohol hadn't yet.
"You're just stupid, in the wrong place at the wrong time knowing you." She shook her head, giving Adrian a playful smile. She couldn't fault him, as much as she might like to at times. He didn't seem like he had anymore control over his own life as she had.

Adrian chuckled finally at her last words with a nodd of his head. Long white locks shimmering like white winter snow under the moon.
" True, true, if I hadn't called upon hidden powers in front of the council leader that time I would probably be simple 'ol Adrian working under the coven's hand and doing street patrols." He smiled to her. He sighed as he poured her tea and sat down across from her with his own version for his nerves.
"Though change sadly seems a part of everything. Hopefully that tea does the trick for you. You seem to need the rest." He told her as he sipped his own, looking like good old human Adrian before her. His blue eyes so full of innocence and youthful hope.

Kesika just shrugged and took a sip of her own tea, trying to avoid making a face at the taste. Why was it that good things always had to taste so bad. That said it tasted better than that were alcohol she'd had earlier so she wasn't about to complain any, at least not to Adrian at any rate.
"Huh, I need more than rest." She mused, taking another sip of that tea, "Do you even know why I was running street patrols?" She asks in a curious tone, gazing over to the apparently human man. He wasn't she knew it, but right now she was about the only person she could trust who also happened to be in the Cheshire Cat and who had a spare room.

" Hmm... no, why? I mean I found them rather fun compared to sitting behind the desk, though I didn't care for the full moon nights. But why did you run them?" he asked as he watched her calmly, smileing softly at her as the old Adrian did many a time before all of this crud was ever thought of.

"My sister was killed by vampires while we were still training. Some blood drinkers ambushed us as we left a club, looking for some witches to take their anger out on for being restricted from feeding freely." Kesika told the fellow witch quite simply, obviously long past dealing with at least that issue. "I didn't take it well, still can't stand vampires anywhere near me. I hate them, so I figured by taking field work I could at least get a chance to kill some in return." She smiles a little, shaking her head softly.
"We were supposed to graduate into the coven together, work on actually helping the city some. So what do I do when she up and dies? I just resign myself to being another racist bitch who ignores what's really going on." She shrugs and takes a good drink of her tea. Hoping it might just knock her out so she can shut herself up before she embarasses herself if she hasn't already.

Adrian nodded at this.
" I can only imagine your pain Kesika..." he sighed as he shook his head at her own comment.
" You can't be all that much of a racist bitch... I am a witch but you know I'm not a true witch now. And yet your still here?" He smiled simply at her. He shook his head at this.
" I am sorry for your pain, but you acknowledge that you have ignored what is going on, does that mean you now know what is going on? " He asked as he tilted his head in slight amusement.
" I can't blame you though, I have tried to run from this trouble.... to hide, but it seems fate won't have that for me now." He sighed with a slight chuckle at his own expense.

"You don't drink blood for one. I know I don't act out on it but I still feel it, I can't be around anything close to a vampire without remembering. I shouldn't blame them all for what one did but... I can't help it..." Kesika clarifies with a shake of her her, slumping down on the table a little more as she takes another sip of her tea.
"Know what is going on? I don't know shit but I was there when Delano was killing those kids. I was still trying to rationalise that it was for the greater good, that killing fucking kids was supposed to somehow save others. Who even does that?" She goes on turning away a little from Adrian as she continues, starting to tear up a little. Only having yourself to talk with wasn't great for getting this sort of stuff off your chest and being drunk meant that it seemed all the more pressing to do so.
"I... we tried to do something... we really did but... we weren't powerful enough... I wasn't powerful enough. I watched him die... I couldn't even save th one person I most wanted to..."

Adrian frowned at this getting up to put his hand on her shoulder.
" No one knew what to do with Delano, so don't blame yourself... he was crazy... and the scary thing is there are still more like him in that coven. It is a shame what happened.... but it is something we must now learn from so it does not happen again." He told her as he moved around her to look into her eyes with bright blue orbs that had a flicker of a magical light within them.
" Many died.... and many were not powerful enough, hell sometimes I am not even powerful enough as a spirit... you can't blame yourself. Hear me?" Adrian spoke with a bit of strength in his voice the nervous man hardly ever held. Part of it was his old mind starting to surface... some of it was a friend wanting to make things allright for the lady before him... either way... he just prayed he could make her feel better.

"Doesn't make it any better though. Even if I don't blame myself it's all still gone. I don't even know why I stay here in this stupid city, not like it'll bring my sister back if I hang around here trying to make it a better place" Kes' replied, shifting a little towards Adrian as she felt that hand on her shoulder. The comfort was nice even if she wasn't about to let go of blaming herself entirely. When all you've ever been good at is protecting things it makes the blow even worse when you loose them.
"Isn't this the part where you remind me you have your brand new shiny coven I could join to make everything right?" She asks after a moment of silence, her tone clearly not all that impressed with the idea of hearing that come up again, at least not right now. Still if she ever wanted to make anything out of this situation she'd need to decide on something to do sooner rather than later.

" True to the first part... and as for me bringing up my shiny new coven well... I wasn't. That would be something for you to bring up hmm? I figured it would piss you off." he laughed a bit as he patted her once more upon the shoulder.
" But if you prefer to talk about it I would not mind, though that will be your decision to make." he smirked at her as he waited for her reply.

"Maybe tomorrow... I think I just need to clear my head a little first. I know you are trying to do something good but... I don't know if I can write off the last things I have to hold onto so easily." Kesika sighed with a slight nod. The sooner she set her feelings straight the sooner she could start to move again in one direction or the other. That was far easier said than done though.
"It's just hard to think right now, with everything all mixed up."

" Okay." Adrian smiled as he patted her shoulder.
" I can understand completely, God when I first realized I was haveing black outs..... and then I was some spirit.... I needed time to think.. .being mixed up... it's a different situation but well. I understand the mixed up feelings." He smiled at her with a slight nodd of his head.
" Ready for sleep?" he asked her kindly to show her to her room.

"Probably about as ready to sleep as I'm ever going to be anyway." She murmurers as she finishes the last of the tea. It might help it might not, better than not doing anything anyway. She didn't hold a lot of stock in herbal remedies, perhaps surprisingly for a witch.
"I'm probably going to need a hand..." She smiles a little up at Adrian. Alcohol didn't mix too well with stairs.

He nodded as he got up to help her.
" Let me." he smiled to her as he tenderly tried to assist her upstairs to his old bedroom, showing her into the plainly decorated abode since everything that made it his was now in Shinzo's old room where he currently slept, but a four poster bed was still in there with meager furnishings and a small tv. He assisted her towards the bed.
" Doing ok?" He smiled at her gently.
