Eris is by Kiri!
Precious little pleased Eris in the world anymore, but alcohol was one of those things she'd discovered something of a liking for in the aftermath of Larkspur's death. It was sour on the tongue and burned the throat, but it gave way to blissful carefree ignorance, and eventually, even more blissful sleep. Eris could not pilfer so much from the storage that the supplies would be missed, but neither was she so prolific with this newfound habit she required an especially large accumulation of liquor. She'd only just finished the first bottle, and this second she carried off into her den would last her many weeks.
The den seemed eerily still and quiet as she made her way toward it, hurrying along. The dusky-furred hybrid was in no mood for the company of an up-start Associate or some other seeking her favor; her only desire was the blessed oblivion waiting for her in that vile liquid. Stepping into her home, the hybrid was immediately aware of Ataxia and peered at her with a forced smile. It was for her daughter's sake alone this smile was given; other intruders into the solitude of her den were met far less warmly. Only her children retained these rights, and only the youngest. Ataxia, she said, setting the bottle down in an alcove. Is all well? Something in her silvery daughter's demeanor seemed especially nervous, or so Eris thought.
