Chapter 27
Oh Moon Goddess, what have I done to deserve this pain? My head is throbbing, my every nerve aches. Plus, it smells like stale fruit in here. What did I do last night? Then it all starts flooding back to me. The Elven wine. The beer pong played with wine. The dancing. The late night cream puff and cake buffet. Every sordid detail, until I carried Lala back to my room, then nothing until now. What time is it anyhow?
"Kat?" A whipsered voice calls to me. At least someone has good sense to not make excess noise.
"What is it?" I whisper back, trying to open my eyes past the throbbing in my head. Why did I think this was a good idea yesterday?
"I’ve got water and some medicine that cures the pain from Elven wine. My master used to have me make it at least twice a month, so I know it works." Lala replies.
If this medicine works she’s my new best friend forever.
I open my mouth and she drops some liquid medicine in it, causing me to splutter at the vile taste. Fortunately, most of that washes away with the water. I guess we should send the same to the others’ rooms. But that would mean sitting up.
"Don’t worry, I made up a big batch and left it in the dining hall with directions. Everyone else should be able to find the cure when they get up to eat." Lala reassures me, seeing the consternation on my face.
Yes, let them suffer until they get to breakfast, I’m reasonably sure this is all Alpha Petros’s fault anyhow. Speaking of which:
"Where is Alpha Petros, do you know?" I ask Lala.
