Vira-Lorr was currently on the couch at this point. Their savior had departed now that she was herself, sitting with an empty mason jar that had been filled with the recuperative lake water in it. She was robed in a simple bathrobe and a little hunkered down.

"I'm... more myself than I was only an hour ago, yes," she murmured, glancing over but not quite able to look at her lover. "I... didn't hurt you, did I?"

[loveandduty]

Minako was making a mental note that she probably really will need a shower later, or at least to wash herself as she went to go sit down.

"No, at best you made me sticky, but thats about the worse of it."

[onerthes]

Oh definitely a shower. They both needed one after this ordeal. But at least that was the worst of it right now. God, she didn't look up to the clear the mess out of hte house.

"Good. I'm glad," she breathed out a sigh of very obvious relief. "I... wasn't ... This isn't what I intended. I didn't know that they had that protection on them."

[loveandduty]

"I know it's not what you intended, no one really expects that of all things to happen. I mean here we deal with beasts all the time after all."

So no one could have really known. For Minako she just didn't feel like they had been much of a threat and why she didn't deal with them herself. Though what they do isn't great, but they weren't physically attacking either.

"But its something to learn and move past."

[onerthes]

She breathed in and out slowly and finally leaned in closer to Minako, allowing herself to sigh, to shudder and to start to unclench and relax very slightly. "I know... I know... and I intend to learn from it. I don't want it to ever happen again. I'm probably going to need to rest for a day or two after this," she said softly. "And I'm going to stay inside most of the time, until they're gone. It's clear now. I can't trust myself in dealing with this problem. Someone else will have to."

"I'm glad I have you, Minako... You can be a steadying influence at times like this." Among so many other things.

[loveandduty]

Minako stayed quiet for the time being, letting the other speak and say what she wanted all the while a few thoughts going through her head. For one that it is nice to know there are ways of dealing with it without resorting to killing at least. That she was going to keep in mind and the other of what her next steps might be now.

Probably to focus more on what she needed to and put hunting on the backburner right now. Venus wasn't needed currently.

"I am many a thing, Vira~ I can be whatever it is you need me to be."

[onerthes]

Venus would always be powerful, and an ally in a pinch, but she wasn't wrong. There was a real power in having friends willing to take risks and seek for ways to calm, to humanize those who were in the midst of their monstrous throws. Minako was, herself, as powerful as Venus in this.

She smiled sadly over at her and reached out a hand to take the back of her lover's, closing her eyes. "Just ... don't forget that you can rely on me too." A pause and a cough before she smiled sadly. "though today? I need to do the relying. I don't want to hold you back or cause you trouble. We can be there for each other." It was important to her own self-image to remind herself that, despite this failing, this moment of weakness, she was still there for those she cared for.

[loveandduty]

"Of course, I would never forget that." She knew to always rely on her friends for anything, after all she knew they could help her if needs be, although there are certain parts when she might not depending on the situation. She moved her hand to grip the others a small smile on her face.

"Even after this if I need your help, I will let you know."

[onerthes]

Vira-Lorr looked positively on the verge of tears when Minako said that. Did she really need that reassurance to know in principle that her lover would still come to her? No. She 'knew it, and deep down there was no need to be sure, but hearing the reassurance now, of all times, it made her rest her head against Minako's shoulder, a short sob breaking out and settling.

"Thank you. I think... I think I really wanted to hear that." Because it was a reminder that any harm today caused, it was in the end a temporary thing. They could and would get past it all.

[loveandduty]

Minako just sat there content with the moment for what it was. The peace at the end of what was a rather stressful day that had been full of unexpected twists and turns. But they had at least made it even if Minako felt like that she really didn't do much beyond asking for help.

"For now though, we can just sit here and relax until we fall asleep."

[onerthes]

"..." And suddenly the offer from Minako seemed to sink in. Vira-Lorr hadn't even considered this? She was so tired she hadn't even thought about getting sleep. Her arms tightened and then relaxed. "That... sounds like a wonderful idea, Minako." She managed to get that out before she was already starting to doze off, because she was just so very tired at this point.

[loveandduty]

She nodded slightly, moving to stand up. She was at least planning on staying the night herself even with what had happened. After all she didn't know if the other might need help in anyway.

SO she extends her hand out for them to take if needed.

[onerthes]

Vira-Lorr took the hand and curled her arm around Minako's waist, all too willing for her to lead up to the bedroom. They could finish the cleanup later. Right now, the fact that she was willing to stay, to remain all night? It caused any lingering concern or corruption to fade, and it just made Vira-Lorr feel good inside, even considering everything else.

"Thank you, Minako. I love you."

[loveandduty]

"And I love you to"

As much as a lot went on, Minako knew to at least be forgiving in this instance because it was a unlucky situation rather than one trying to intentionally cause the situation.

"And no matter what else comes that won't change."

[onerthes]

"You're right. That won't change no matter what they do. I will always love you," she whispered, resting her head on her shoulder as they headed up the stairs. God, it had been a long day.
