A groan left the lips of the drunken Melusine, whom almost walked into a wall when Athena let go of her for a moment.

"Sorry." Athena gave her a sheepish look, holding onto her arms once more as she guided Melusine through the home Æthelflæd has given Athena. "Let's get you to bed."

Another groan left Melusine's lips as Athena led her through the hallway and towards the bedroom. "I am not tired." Melusine whined with a pout, letting Athena guide her to the bed.

"You will be if you do not rest." Athena gave her a firm look, gently placing her down on the bed. "Stay, let me get you water." Melusine slowly nodded her head, slouching forwards as Athena left the room.

It didn't take long for Athena to come back into the room, cup of water in her hands. She pulled a chair to the bedside, carefully sitting down in front of Melusine.

"Drink." Athena told her, leaning forwards to lift the cup up to Melusine's lips. Melusine didn't complain as she tilted her head back to drink the water. "Good girl." She uttered, taking the cup away and placing it on the bedside table.

Melusine ran a hand over her face, watching as Athena sat back in the seat. A heavy sigh left Melusine's lips as she looked over at her closest friend. "I am sorry, Thena." She muttered, making Athena frown. "I ruined everything, Athena, I'm sorry." She quietly cried, shaking her head as she held her face in her hands.

Athena pursed her lips, a soft look on her face as she reached out to gently grasp onto Melusine's wrists. "It is fine." Athena tried to reassure, a smile on her face.

The Dane woman brought her hand up to wipe the tears from Melusine's cheeks with her thumb. "I am sorry." Melusine lowered her head, sniffing as Athena held onto her cheeks. "I'm such a bad friend."

Athena shook her head as she wrapped her arms around Melusine, embracing her into a hug with a sigh. "You are not." Athena shook her head.

Melusine sniffled as she lowered her face info Athena's neck, instantly wrapping her arms around Athena. "But..." She swallowed thickly, squeezing her eyes shut. "But I told—"

A chuckle left Athena's lips as she pulled out of the hug, holding onto Melusine's arms. "He was bound to find out soon." Athena tilted her head to the side, clicking her tongue as she stared at Melusine. "But now you have given me an awkward conversation to deal with." She chuckled, making Melusine softly smile at her.
