(Other post poofed apparently)
Calista watched Tess approach, Caleb close behind and a small black bird in hand. She stepped back slightly, allowing the group to check on each other.
With her wounds she felt less vulnerable this way, though she appeared to be quite skittish still. The cat watched, still standing. Watching and wary of Arthur and Matilda. Just what were these two involved in to make them be the hunted?

The bird caws, moving it's wings a bit as if testing the water of whether or not she would be able to fly. The wings felt fine- the head pounded. She feels the watchful eyes and she seems to shiver even in bird form, a memory flashing through- flying through thick trees.
She shivers again and sores down shifting back once she hits the ground. Before then is Teagan, over all looking okay. maybe a few bruises forming and a nice gash in her forehead and the warmth of liquid running down her face. Her hazel eyes are replaced with a black diamond shimmer for a brief moment, shifting side to side as she looked up to Caleb, from her crouched position in the grass.

Matilda moves closer to Arthur as she observes the others. She feels slightly safer. Just that she wanted to be with him be that at her place or somewhere else tonight. She just didn't want to be alone.
“Can you stay with me tonight love. I don't mind where. I don't want to be alone tonight” she kept close to him throughout.

The cat twitches its ears, seemingly trying to hear better and slips into the darkness of the shadows where Marlon waits in his Ocelot form. Her ears weren't working as well as she had hoped after the blast.
Into the shadows the two large cats went, seeking sanctuary for a few days until things calmed down.

Arthur continues to hold Matilda "it's ok, love, I won't leave you tonight. We'll get you home safe. Or, somewhere safe. I promise." He slips his talisman back into his clothes before they turn and approach the others.
He looks at Caleb, and Tess, and Teagan.
"Tess, is it? Thank you for defending my Matilda. I owe you a solid. Let me know if there's ever anything you need." He hands Tess a business card, with a number, and a stylised 'W', nothing more.
Arthur didn't see the cats in the shadows.

Matilda still keeps close to Arthur throughout not seeing anything else. She smiles to Tess and Teagan saying her thanks to them both and also apologizing again for what happened not wanting to explain too much right now.
She turns to Arthur and just says “can we leave now. I just want to go somewhere safe”

"Sure, love. We can."
He looks back at the house, thinking of the library. He wanted those books. But Matilda was worth more to him. He'd call tomorrow, or sometime soon, to see what deals were possible.
"Let's find a good hotel. Somewhere they can't find you, and you can sleep safely."
His jacket was shredded, so he just wraps his arms around her. As they walk, he finds his and and the remains of his jacket in the leftovers. He notices how the house fixed itself, and wonders what sort of magic achieved that.
"Caleb, I'm taking Matilda home. Get in touch soon, ok?" He says to his friend as they head to the car.

Matilda keeps quiet before saying to the others "Thank you" really quietly before Arthur says that they can find a good hotel.
"Somewhere safe would be nice where they can't find me"she says as they make their way to the car. She just wanted to be a normal woman again. Not a woman in danger. She made a mental note to contact Jermey once at the hotel or at work.

Caleb crouched and lent against a tree trunk, waiting for Teagan to calm and know he was there.
'Calm, Lil'bird. Its jus me, Caleb.' he lights a smoke and waits, he knew Tess could find him if she needed him.

Tess had enough fun for one night she watched as Matilda and Arthur left holding the business card in her bloody hands, she walked to her car Anatoli's man raised an eyebrow at her appearance but said nothing. Caleb would ring her if he needed her, she had no words of comfort for poor Matilda she just wasn't good at the fluffy bullshit. And telling her bad people deserve what they get properly wouldn't have helped the woman. She didn't know what to say to the fae either, she was sure Caleb would be able to thank her until they met again. She got into her car and headed home she checked her phone re arranging after dinner drinks with Mitch for another night, a hot bath and a few bottles of bleach aught to get rid of the blood that would be left in the bath after she had washed.
She stared out of the window as the car pulled away, this was not how the evening was supposed to have gone.

Teagan looks up to see Caleb crouched and leaning against the tree. Her eyes shift back to the hazel color before she shakes her head and sighs. Her head hurt, and the warmth was still there. She brought a hand up to find the source and hissed slightly and the burning.
"Caleb--" She blinks a few more times trying to get herself together. "Tess....Matilda..." The words were more questions as she looked around for them.

He reached out and wiped the blood from her brow, 'You okay?'

All Teagan could do was nod. She was still stuck on having to react, the hit still making her slightly dizzy. She watches his hand come to,wipe the blood from her brow. Letting the words sink in.
"Ill be fine" she whispers. "Just need to get back to New York."

He puts his arm round her shoulder ad started walking her away from the house.
As they walked Caleb spotted Tess inside a car and tried to flag it down. Waving his arm he steps out and waits for it to stop. He walks to the window where Tess is sitting and raps it. When she opens it, 'Hey dere gud lookin' don't suppose you'd give us a lift wouldcha? Dis here lady mighta jus' saved your life!'

Tess jumped as the car stopped suddenly, hearing Calebs voice she nods and opens the door Of course pile on in. I'm heading home but we can stop wherever you need to go? Hospital your home? Tess smiled as she watched the shirtless Caleb squash himself into the car. She looked up at the woman who was with Caleb and smiles Much obliged for your help, I didn't expect attempted robbery at a place like this if you hadn't intervened well who knows! Tess shot the two a look.

Teagan walks with Caleb, stopping when he gets the car to stop. She kneels down a bit and smiles. "Dont worry about it. I have to save his A** once too" She said, british accent apparent. She climbs into the car and looks at the women.
"If you can at least get me close to the city- I can manage the rest. My pace is near central park."
