Anna dove right into the work, assisting Mae. Now that her and Elyse had bonded, she really felt like she should make an effort to get to know the woman more. Elyse liked her - a lot - judging from the fact that they were together. Anna doubted the "L Word" had been spoken yet, but that didn't really matter at this venture. It would develop how it would develop, and Anna was happy for her friend. This was not the time for getting to know Mae more though. Anna could feel that this time, time was of the essence, and she know Mae needed to be on stage tonight.
They got to the end of the books and Anna grabbed the tape to seal the box off. Anna let the power go, she didn't need it now. The concern was still there, but it was more manageable.She turned to Mae, "I'll start on the dishes if you'll take the movies?" she turned back to Elyse. "Hey, Elyse," Anna said, her concern in her voice. "It seems like we're in a time crunch, and I know don't need details, but are you in danger - like now?"
Elyse cringed just a little. "I'm sorry...I know you've been concerned all day and I've not told you anything." Elyse worked and talked at the same time."You know I grew up Atharim, right? Well, my father has found out what I am, has murdered my mother, and is coming for me. I'm not in immediate danger, and steps are being taken to protect me from him. I'm definitely scared, but not as scared as I was earlier."
"Fuck me!" the swear came out immediately. Anna knew it was bad, but not that bad.
Elyse must have been doing better, because she came back with an immediate quip. "Is that a request?" she asked and laughed.
Anna smiled at the quip. "Well, I'm here for you. Whatever you need. I got your back, sis!" She gave Elyse an encouraging smile. "Hand me some of those shirts, and I'll use them to pack the dishes."
