Althia sits there with a STRONG cup of tea, her eyes look red and bloodshot and she is being VERY VERY quiet

Tahira couldn't have expected to have this good of luck. Seeing the Healer with the Hangover. Someone loves Hira, loves her very much indeed. Coming up the stairs she's carrying a basket, not on duty but still helping out with the laundry, having pulled it off the line to bring it in for the people in the bar, "Evening, I brought the line in-" Called out, her eyes roaming the area and spotting the Healer. A wicked smile touches the edge of her lips, eyebrows slanting upwards as she begins a slow walk towards the healer, "~Althia~, you look perky tonight .."

Althia grips her temples at the screaming going on "s..ssss..stop...p..please" shehisses softly  looking miserable

"You come to a bar for peace and quiet?" Hira getting too much enjoyment out of this, smirking faintly, "I would have thought you'd have gone home to your bed instead of being where-" Cheers from the dragonpoker table sound out, a few disgruntled grunts sounding as cards are tossed down and marks slid in towards the winner, "-noise is part of the business. .." Definitely not the place to go when rider, Hold folk and craftsmen alike gather, a brawl happening every other night, if not every night depending upon the crowd.

Althia has tears running down her cheeks, not from feeling sorry just from the throbbing stinging her eyes "I defer to your expirence..just please PLEASE....take me somelace quiet, I/....I couldn't find my bed..I...woke UP here...on the floor...

"Do you ..." A moment, her voice raising, "MAYLENE. We have those guest rooms in the Hold, yes? Or even the dorms!?" Maylene is popping her head up from behind the counter, furrowing her brow as a look is sent towards Hira, "Sparrow- you be knowin' damn well that we do!" Called back, Hira looking down to Althia to curve a tiny little smile, "Dorms may work for you, Healer. You could have slept down in the stables, instead of staying in here."

Althia 's eyes raise slowly ad her head feels like it willl explode "do you..hate me or something?' she whimpsr "I..don't even remember..how I GOT here.....er...there....on the floor....PLEASE....I have never had this before...w...what do I do? my head.......

Tahira mmmhmmms in her throat softly as she sets down the basket of clothes to drag a chair up next to Althia, woman curving into it with a sinuous lilt of her hips, an elbow resting on the tabletop as she looks to the healer, "Hate is an exceedingly strong word, Healer. I hate a few, but you're not included in those numbers. It seems to me like you were able to get tea just fine ...you could have left the bar instead of nursing it."

Althia looks up leary eyed "every time...I get up..my stomach' she looks a bit green "I..thoughtthetea..woudl settle....the head ache....h..help me out?

Althia says, "P...please?"

"You're the healer, Healer, I would think you would have more knowledge on it than a simple barmaid." Sighing softly as if she has no clue what to do, head shaking, "I'm sorry healer, I only dole out the booze, I don't assist with the after effects."

Althia groans "Treating is different from BEING the patient" she squints "you...have never felt like this....after having...that...that..stuff?' she whispers.... "I never said, I was all knowing, I make mistakes too you know..like..drinking..that stuff....

Tahira smirks softly as she leans back, head shaking slowly, "Well then use common sense. And me? I don't drink that stuff, it's terrible and tastes like caprine piss smells." Said casually as she lifts out of the seat, bending down to the side to pick up the basket, heading off towards the bar to plunk it on the bartop, "As promised, Maylene-" Plump woman nods and leans to the side to look at Althia before looking off to Hira again, "About time, stop harassin' th'patrons, Sparrow, lookit th'poor thing." Maylene says, a tinge of sympathy for the Healer while Hira can only grin a very unwholesome smile, "She's a grown woman. I'm sure she can take care of herself." Tahira turning then to head back to the table with the healer woman so she can hear her again, "You might want to go to the /kitchens/, Healer, before heading home. Get some food into you. Bread, perhaps."

Althia frowns "why did you recommend..i drink that then....I'm not blaming you...I tried it..kin only blame m'self...butyes...thank you...bread....

Her right hand touches the tabletop in front of Althia, Hira leaning in close to murmur, "Consider it a payment for our first meeting, Healer. Well, our second. Do try not to piss me off again, elsewise it may be more serious than a headache and a wee aching tummy, hmm? Mind your tongue and we'll do just fine." Curving a slow insincere smile, "Do come back to the Staircase, Healer, my duties to Healer Hall." Hand slides off the table top as she straightens up, touching it to her chest, "Good evening, Maylene! I'm off to the baths!”

Althia frounds and streches out a hand to see if the girl will stay a moment

Tahira does pause, just a moment, "Hmm?" Staying out of reach of that hand, Hira not exactly wanting to be touched at this moment in time, gaze trained on the Healer, "I'm not on duty, so if you need a refill---" Waving vaguely off to the other barmaids and men in the establishment, two or three of them floating about.

Althia looks confused "this...for our first meeting? I...I never ment to upset you, and I apologized...you really...felt theneed?" she turs her gaxe and cradles her head the look one of someone who trusted and was betrayed "I am sorry to hold you up..go

"It was an opportunity, Healer, too good to pass up. And a lot more enjoyable than I thought it would be, given I got to see the end result which is just ...fabulous." Clearly unphased by this 'look' meant to guilt her, "Need, want. And I will go, I have a bath that awaits me and some delightful sweetsand calling to my skin. Feel free to join, if you wish to clean off the floor from your face."

Althia up and stumbles out looking for the bathes by herself

Althia heads down the stairs into the stables.

You go into the baths, finding it steamy and warm.

Althia already sits in a hot tub shielding her eyes from any light, her color slowly comming back

Tahira traipses down, wrapped in a towel, heading for the hottest portion of the pool to settle down into it after discarding the towel on the side of the pool.

Althia says nothing but just slowly, quietly, triesto clean up the water moving gently

Tahira seems content to slip into the water silently, enjoying the heat as she tilts her head back, relaxing.

Althia remains silent....as he head slowly recovers...sitting inthe bath....lost inher own thoughts, not looking real happy

Hira stays only as long as it takes to relax her muscles, dragging herself out of the water then and rewrapping herself with the towel, allowing herself to drip on her way out and off towards room and bed. Cheerily.
