The Beach, Late Monday Afternoon

Anders was still thinking about what had happened in Limbo City when he wandered down to the beach. It was too cold to be near the water, really, but the motion of the waves was soothing.

He kept replaying what had happened that afternoon in his head as he looked at the water and sifted sand between his fingers. It wasn't the fighting that stuck with him -- he'd done that before. And it wasn't exactly the healing -- he'd been glad to have something to do that wasn't destructive. Instead, he kept thinking about all the civilians they hadn't been able to help. Maybe they could have stayed, they could have fought, they could have been just that little bit better -- and maybe someone would have made it home that never would now.

Well. He'd have to prepare better before the next time he got accidentally dragged into someone else's hell. (Which he hoped wouldn't be anytime soon; the sight of an arm he'd frozen snapping off like a branch was not one he needed to see again anytime soon.)

He chewed on his thumbnail and tried not to feel guilty.

"No need for that this time," Anders said, matter-of-fact. "Closest I came was somebody tried to rush me, but I hit him with my staff. I'm glad it has some weight to it."

Nathan nodded and was quiet for a moment.

"Have you talked to Kathy?"
not_every_mage: ([neu] little suspicious)

Anders shook his head. "I will soon," he said. "But I didn't know what to say. Besides, she and Dante are -- I reckon they want to be together."

Which was part of why Anders had left before he could be sexiled, really.

"That's..." He winced. "Do you want to come back to my room? I've got the space."

"Incredibly awkward of them, all things considered?" Anders asked brightly. "Yes. But they didn't ask for my permission. Your room sounds fantastic."

"Tell them to go to Kathy's room next time," Nathan suggested before getting to his feet and holding out a hand. "Come on."

"Maybe that should just be my standing request," Anders mused, rising to take Nathan's hand. "But for tonight, we're good."

Nathan nodded and gave Anders' hand a squeeze before leading him away from the beach. His room was much warmer than this place.
