"Like a million credits." Val remarked with some jest, but she strained her words as if they were not true, she felt really sick, she swung her legs over the bedside and felt woozy, hanging her head a little. "Um...a little. I remember...the red room." She squinted her eyes and over at him. "And then a dark presence jumped out at you..." She realised he was not harmed. "You're okay. Thank the Gods!" She sighed with relief and broke a smile, finally. Her eyes come over all tired and worn out. Maybe she didn't quite realise it yet that there was this [i]thing[/i] inside of her...who knew when it would emerge to the surface and strike?

"I'm glad." She straightened herself up as she sat on the edge of her bed. "I guess you got me out in one piece then." She looked at all the candles and smelled the incense. She furrowed her eyes. "What's wrong with me? You're...doing an exorcism?" She obviously knew more about it and she even knew how to conduct it properly. But the demon inside of her may not allow her to instruct Aidan.
