"I never felt bad to begin with." Araceli chuckles, waving her hand dismissively. "I actually felt a little better when you all were down in my rooms. The life in my homey walls is so much better than the cold upstairs." She shivers a little and then rubs her own shoulders, imitating a freezing gesture.

"If you want to apologize, I recommend you just speak out your heart. Magnus seems very free-spirited, so a long-winded text won't help much. Or not yield much." The chem-witch smiles, Zaria was also very nice company to have. She could stand seeing her face more often in the lower floors.

Araceli chuckles a little, staring back into Zaria's eyes. Secretly, she hoped that Zaria does not mind her heterochromia... stupid chemical formula changing half her body hair and Iris pink. Weird how it's consistent too, just... odd.

"You can give a seed the best fertilizer and sunlight, but the blossoming still comes from the seed." Araceli laughs a little. "Sorry. That one's from a friend, she had a strong green thumb. Well, strong and a strong green thumb." She turns away slightly, just to laugh a little but then turns back to face her. "Do you feel better?"

"... that's for you to figure out." Araceli replies, choosing the more playful route instead. She keeps the embrace going, still doing her best to comfort Zaria. The chem-witch could feel how alien this must be for her but, at the same time, she does not object or show any signs of discomfort. So, she must be doing something right, right?

"There you go, Zaria, let it out. Don't be afraid that others will see or judge you. It's just you and me right now." She whispers, tightening the hug slightly but otherwise staying the same. Their heartbeats differed heavily, with Zaria's racing heart against Araceli's rather leisurely-paced heart rate.

Araceli felt Zaria's inner turmoil, her heart aching just as hers did. Her thoughts wandered for a little, eyes wandering a bit and then she embraces Zaria again. This time though, she rests her chin on her shoulder, making her unable to see her face. And she could tell, it was intentional. An embrace, where Zaria could do anything she likes.

Her arms tighten a little, her throat was now on her shoulder instead and arms around, locking her in the embrace and the chair. She always had the option to get out, of course, but somehow... she could tell Zaria did not want to. "I got you. It's dark anyway and nobody is here to watch. Perfect opportunity to let loose."

A short pause again. "... you know exactly how I meant it and not anything else." Damn this language and their double entrendres!

"Yeah, yeah, I get you. Sleeping pills aren't an exact science for most people. Especially pharmacists..." Araceli rolls her eyes a little. "I get you though. If you want, I have some incense though. It's not an exact thing either but whatever helps you sleep at night." She hears the request of Zaria and nods, smiling. Kind of poetic that she wants her around, given her and her father's... relation.

Then, when she notices the weird look on Zaria, she just kneels down a little, to match her eye level. "Zaria, you don't need to feel weak or ashamed for wanting someone nearby, you know? It actually shows strength to admit that you are not strong enough, as weird as it sounds. I'll stay longer, I finished my part of the job a few hours ago." She smiles, a pink strand of hair falling in front of her face.

Iteral looks a little confused at her mother, she was usually much gentler than this... yes, she has been gone for some time but, in the grand scheme of things, with Mona being a few billion years old, her absence was brief by comparison. She knew that before but her brief relapse into horology helped her visualize it. In fact, she is immersed in thoughts deep enough that, when she reached for the tray of tea, one of her clocks fell out. A little embarassed, she picks it back up and stuffs it in her pocket this time, before taking the tray and walking to her mother.

"I found a package of orange juice for Caspian." The witch briefly looks up, above the two. She frowns but then looks back down. "Can you drink like this or do you need help?"

"Well, I'm not one who thinks dreams are prophetic but..." Araceli held her tongue for a bit, shrugging. "If those dreams persist, maybe it is something in the past reaching out. Or something from the future. Have you tried writing down your dreams, like in those diaries?" She asked, eating a gum herself now. "I have a blank book downstairs, if you like."

The chem-witch looks at Zaria, eyeing her a little. With a past like that and now Magnus around, she is concerned that Zaria won't get any sleep to begin with. And the last thing this lab needs is more insomniacs. "... I am already meaning to fetch some sleeping pills for you. I can bring it along no problem."

Iteral rolls her a little and places down the tray on the main table, staring at Azazel a little before back at Kendo. Then she just shrugs and drinks her tea in "peace", sighing in even more relief. "Much better..."

Araceli let the turbulent girl speak, occasionally looking away from her eyes, just to make sure she does not feel glared at. A few acknowledging "mhms" and "I see"s are scattered in her ramblings but when she finishes, the chem-witch simply looks around and sits Zaria down in the nearest chair available. While doing so, she did her best to show no hostility, even crouching a little to make herself look smaller. It looks a little ridiculous but, heck, it helped in the past for others.

"A personality is often decorated in paradoxes." She smiles, her voice a little deeper to sound more calming. The resulting voice was... questionably close to being seductive. "Magnus is a very interesting personality but maybe his demeanor and behavior are a way of coping with his trauma. We cannot tell for now... but with enough time and patience, we might!"

Araceli reaches into her pocket and hands Zaria a gum. Mint flavor, of course. "Look, you should not be ashamed of your emotions. Nor should you try to be a cold machine or a emotional one. The key is to balance the salty and the sweet." Short pause. "... wait I think that's not how the saying goes..." "Ehh, what I mean is... don't aim for either extreme. Go for a healthy middle. Then, we can work together on closing that chapter in your life once and for all. And you emerge from it, more radiant than ever." Seems like Araceli's empathy influences her speech... for better or worse.

The chem-witch then puts her hand on Zaria's shoulder, her face now a confident, yet calm, smile. She could even see her teeth. "If you ever feel like you could use a helping hand, my lab doors are open. And the foyer before it has books, a punching bag, all that stuff. You know. Recreation." She smiles more now. "Anything else you would like to get off your shoulders? I am a good keeper of secrets."

Fortevera opens her book and just stares into it. The pictures were pretty, the text... not so much. But she pretends to care, just because else she might risk a scolding or something. A sigh came from the green thumbed lady and she looks around class right after, humming a little.

"Alright." At first, Iteral was a little miffed about that tone of hers but a few seconds later, she discarded those thoughts. After all, this entire war does not really spark a peace of mind... so, the witch professor returns with a tray and four cups of tea and some biscuits she found in a drawer. "I hope you don't mind the extras." Her voice is a little tired but overall friendly.

Iteral sighs in relief and nods. "Thanks, Mona, I'll do that... hehhhhh, I haven't toyed with your magic in at least a decade." She walks past her, but stops about a meter behind. "I'll make myself a cup of tea. I'll leave some extra in the kettle, in case Kendo, you or that foreigner want some. I know your hospitality knows no bounds." She walks into the kitchen, leaving Mercy to see the barrier. It is borderline indescribable, as the light keeps being absorbed by the darkness... but the light never dims, as if both feed off each other to maintain themselves. Only one thing is clear:
Mercy's stellar light has found a match: The dark nebulas of Iteral.

Inside the kitchen, Iteral just stares at the kettle while it boils.

"... seems like you have it under control. I'll work on the barrier." Iteral said, going outside and raising both arms again to reinforce it. She frowned a little but shook her hear, now concentrating on the protective shield.

Iteral holds back and whispers something. "Come viene, viene." She whispers and then sighs, putting one hand into her pocket. Seeing how Mona wants to give off peaceful vibes, she disarms herself by placing the wand into her bag, showing empty hands now. Probably unnecessary, seeing how nobody really expects anything from her but, better that than to risk a sneak attack. "Kendo... do you have something to calm the nerves?" She leans to him to be a little discreet.

Iteral groans, finally arriving at the scene of the action. "You know, I have had it with the whole cupboard thinking. Kendo, get that edge down, he's here because he was ordered to. And judging by his behavior, he's only complying because he has a vendetta against some of us."

"Wait!" Elvira stops right as they were in the middle of the room. She did so in an almost cartoony way, stopping instantly and stiffing up, standing to her full height. Granted, she was short but... heck. "... do we have... money?" She asks silently, leaning to Shieta to whisper. That was the first time that she tries to be silent, as she pulls her wallet from her skirt. "Ummm, let's see..."

She didn't need long to count the coins but she had no idea how much she actually had. So, the redhead needed to kind of visualize. All Shieta heard was "... if three coins are one melon..."

The silence wasn't broken by Araceli's words but instead by action. She had few questions, their entire conversation filled her in mostly. Sure, she didn't really know about Team Plasma or their backstories and all but she did not need to.

It seems like it all hit very close to home for Zaria and interrogating her seems like the worst thing she could do right now. It reminds her a little of when former friends meet after a falling out, it just wasn't healthy to watch. So, the chem-witch did the only thing she right now could do.

Embrace Zaria and close her eyes. "I know there is a lot on your mind." She whispers. "You don't have to explain yourself. I'm just here to make sure you'll be alright." She finishes with that and nods, adding a sound to the ambience now. Araceli's heart, it was pumping harder and faster.

A parting gift from Roserade to Rai. A gift card for a book store, seems like she never used it. Araceli never read modern books anyway, they were a little corny for her taste. He handed it over but when Rai left, the Grass-type followed.

---

Araceli meanwhile looks into Quentin's lab... she only saw a moving shadow but she could tell the difference between "contemplating walking" and "chaotic walking", so she could discern that it was, most likely, Zaria. But, barging in wasn't a good idea either, she probably still has a turbulent mind. So, she sat down in front of the lab and leans onto the opposing wall, watching the shadow move until it didn't anymore. When it stopped, Araceli tries opening the lab doors... those modern doors are a little weird for her but she knows the basics

Iteral finally managed to erect the barrier, right where Mercy left off and her work paid off. The shield itself consists of both celestial light and stellar shadows but they no longer combine to annihilate each other. In a dance of bright- and darkness, it guards the inner sanctum, this time without side effects. As the witch finished and went back, she shivered briefly. Something... was off. But, after a close umbral inspection, nothing except the intruder was here... weird. Maybe just the wind.

So, she makes her way inside, wand in hand and ready to cast something.

Araceli takes the final cup and drinks the truth serum herself. Despite the drama, they were both still courteous enough to thank her for her service. That was interesting. Would've been greater if they drank her serum, which was actually just a drink from this weird purple ube thing, but you can't have it all. "Sure, sure, we all have tensions we'd like to ease right now. The door is mechanical, you can just open it." She sighs, finishing her drink and opening the door first. "Magnus, I don't expect you to be truthful. We all have our demons, but... it's obvious Zaria cares about you. The least you can do is show some respect."

This time, she left to the upper floors. She didn't really know where Zaria would flee to but judging by time and everything, she made a beeline for Quentin's lab. They work together a lot and Quentin is a night owl, so the thought of Zaria going there was plausible.
