She nods as she wraps the towel around herself as well and grabs up their dirty clothes. Heading out of the bathroom to their room she calls out, "Bathroom is all yours Corda."
Huh, guess they wanted dinner more than that. Corda thought as she heard Derika.
Turning to the Fox, <Stay here.>

Morgor curled up in his corner, <I told you, I will not be moved.>
Corda simply shook her head and headed for a bath. Quickly washing herself off, she wrapped up in a towel, and realized she only had one outfit. Sticking her head out the door, "Umm, Derika, Vishanti, is there another set of clothes I can borrow for tonight?"
As they get dressed, Vishanti hears Corda call out. "Hmm..uhm do you think anything of yours would work? I know she's not as powerfully built as you." the purr in her voice telling Derika just how much she enjoyed that build, "But you're about the same height and she's a lot...fuller than I am."
Smiling as the blush creeps up into her face again she throws on some clean clothes and grabs a skirt and a top for Corda. Taking them to the witch she says, "Alright...don't know how that will do, but it's probably better than you trying to fit into a pair of my breeches. Tomorrow when we go to get you a work table, we get you some new clothes as well. At least a couple different outfits to have around for when you need to do washing and stuff. We'll get you some better boots too. If we're gonna be doing a lot of walking around, you need to have good boots." She says giving her a smile and patting her on the shoulder. Stopping back by Corda's work room she sees the little fox lying in the corner, "Hey Morgor....you need to go outside? I don't know if you can understand me, but if you need to go you should probably do it now before we leave. If you want you can even come with us to meet Taliya who you helped save. The dinner Anselina is making is to celebrate what we all did for Taliya so you're invited too okay?" She sighs and shakes her head as she's never been one to talk to animals before and wasn't even sure if the little fox could understand her or not.

Finishing dressing, Vishanti exits the bedroom coming over to lean a against Derika as she talks to Morgor. "It may be different with witches but I believe he is able to understand us. There's that glimmer of intelligence in his eyes." she says looking at the fox with a smile.
Wrapping an arm around her love she nods, "Yeah...but I think that intelligence was already there before he was even a familiar. Foxes are already incredibly intelligent animals, now he just has....awareness. I guess that's what you'd call it? Anyways, he's still super cute. I was just trying to see if he needed to go outside and relieve himself before we leave."
At the comment of his cuteness, the fox's tail began wagging.
Corda came out of the bathroom. While the skirt fit well enough, the top was a little loose in the arms and just a bit.....constraining in the bust area. "Thank you for the clothes Derika. I'm sorry if I keep burdening you two with such minor inconveniences. I just hope I can start paying you both back soon."

She shakes her head, "No Corda, it is we who owe you. If you hadn't shown up......Taliya would have died. She is alive because of you and there is no way we can possibly repay you for that. Everything you do to help these people.....that's enough. Come on now, let's all finish getting ready so we can get to Anselina and Taliya. Morgor is welcome as well, if he wishes to come but he Should probably be taken outside first. We'll meet you in the living room once we're ready." Going to Vishanti she gives her a light kiss before going back to the room to pull on her boots and fix her hair. Once ready she walks out of the room and back to Vishanti.
Corda teared up as Derika responded, "Thank you Derika. You have no idea what that means to me."
Turning to her fox, <Morgor, come along, it's not polite to be late for dinner.>
<Alright I'm coming. This spot is really, really comfortable.> Morgor replied as he lazily got up and trotted over to Corda.
The Witch turned to Vishanti, "What did you keep in that corner? He really likes it there."
"I probably meditated more in that area. It would make sense that the natural energies accumulated there would be comforting to one attuned to them." Vishanti replies with a smile, running her fingers through the thick black hair draping her shoulders, still wavy from being damp.
Smiling she reaches out for Vishanti's hand, "Alright then, are we ready to go?"
"Absloutely." she replies with a smile, her fingers slipping in between her love's
You head to Anselina's house, where Taliya is outside playing with a doll. She looks up at the three women. "I'll let momma know you're here."
The little girl goes inside and calls for her mother. Anselina shows up a moment later. "Come in, come in. Dinner is just about done."
She nods as they go inside, "Thank you, it smells wonderful."
Anselina brings a pot filled with a tomato-based beef and vegetable soup. She then brings out several loaves of bread. "I hope you enjoy the Janija."
Taliya washes her hands in the basin, then sits down, waiting for her mother to serve everyone. Once served, the little girl take small bites of her soup.
Vishanti beams, watching Taliya eat was like a gift. "Thank you so much Anselina, it does smell and look amazing."
Seeing the little girl and remembering what Derika said, caused Corda to hold back tears at the memory of what she had recently lost. Tasting the soup, she said, "This is quite excellent Anselina, my compliments to your cooking skill."
Morgor sat by the Witch and let out a yip, <Are you planning on feeding me?>
Corda looked down, then plucked some of the meat from her soup and handed it to the Fox.
Anselina eats her soup and bread. "It is hard to live without worrying after doing it for so long, but I am so grateful for what you all have done."
Taking a few bites of the soup she looks up after swallowing, "It's very good, thank you so much for dinner Anselina." She says as she smiles while watching Taliya eat.
"The fact that you can sleep knowing that you will see your daughter's smile in the morning, that will make it a bit easier, day by day." Vishanti says quietly. "This is excellent!" she says dipping another piece of bread into the soup.

"What's so funny about watching me eat?" Taliya asks, noticing Derika's gaze.
"I think she's just happy to see you eating, sweetheart," Anselina answers.
"Oh...okay then," Taliya says, taking a few exaggerated bites for Derika's benefit.
The shamaness stifles a giggle as Taliya over-emphasizes eating, giving Derika a wink.
She tries not to laugh, "It's okay Taliya, I'm just happy to see that you have your appetite back is all. How are you feeling?" She was curious to see how Taliya was feeling after Corda got rid of the disease. It would probably be a few days before she got back to full strength, but this was definitely an improvement.
"Good, I played for most of the day. I still had to take a nap earlier," Taliya says.
She nods as she gives Taliya a smile, "Yes....naps are very important so that you can keep getting better and grow up big and strong. I'm happy to see you doing so well."
"I'll keep getting better, so you'll always be happy," Taliya says with a big smile.
She just smiles at Taliya before looking at Vishanti and giving her a look of relief.
Returning the look, Vishanti smiles. "That's a very good way of putting it. We will all continue to be very happy as you keep getting better."
<Would it be rude if I said hello to the little girl?>
<Not at all. Just don't overdo it.> Corda responded.
The Fox got up and went over to Taliya, sat by her chair, looked up at her, then nudged her leg with his nose.
"Oh, hello, Mr. Fox," Taliya says, scratching between Morgor's ears.
Dipping some of the bread in the soup she smiles at the sight of the little girl petting the fox, "See Taliya, even Morgor is happy that you're feeling better."
Morgor tilted his head to get Taliya to scratch more behind his right ear. When she hit the right spot, his tongue flopped out. <Oh yeah, that's the spot.>
Corda couldn't help but smirk.
"He's such a pretty fox," Taliya says. "I have to stop scratching you, Mr. Morgor. I have to take the dishes to the kitchen."
Vishanti smiles as Taliya talks to Morgor, happy to see her once gain simply being a little girl.
The Fox let out a slight whimper before trotting over to Corda and laying down.
Derika uses some bread to soak up the rest of the broth from her soup, "Again that was a most delicious dinner Anselina. Thank you so much for having us."
"Again, it is the least I can do," Anselina says, helping Taliya with the dishes. "I am glad you enjoyed it."
Looking from Corda and Vishanti to Anselina she says, "I guess we should get going. We don't want to keep you up too late after everything....well, you know. It's probably best that you both just take it easy and relax for a while, and we'll pop by every now and then to see how things are going. If you need anything though, you know where to find us." She says with a smile as she watches Taliya and her mother.
