Apophe sat in her room, picking at her bandages. To say that she felt awful would be an understatement. She had hurt Amelia and thrashed that serving girl. She had tried to make amends, of course. With Amelia it was a lot of begging and with the girl, she had offered to pay for a wedding. Still, no matter what she did to try and make up to people, Apophe felt horrible. She had lost control and lost her mind. No one was ever going to look at her the same way. She didn't know if she could look at herself in the same way.
She sucked on her hookah, pulling the smoke into her lungs and holding it there for a moment. She felt her muscles relax, and she laid down across the chaise-lounge, taking olives from her bowl and eating them, tossing the pits over her shoulder once she had picked the olives free of meat. She watched the smoke coil in the beams of light that filtered into her room, musing on them.
She was dressed spartanly, wearing only a vest and some shorts. She hadn't mustered up the will to wear anything more fancy than that.
She waited in her room. She had asked Markus to join her, being one of the few people she felt might not judge her for her outburst, at least after the favour she had done him. She thought about his daughter again, quietly. She wondered how well the girl was going to acclimate to the life of a Void Serpent. She felt no guilt for taking the girl away from her family, because her family was probably going to die, but she didn't want Markus' child to hate her, either.
"Too much crud going on lately..." she said.
