"heh it was nothin' as long as you're ok i'm ok." he hugged Eria just a little tighter but not much

Luna scowled at everyone as she curled up to sleep. She just wanted the nightmare to be over with.
Eira gave him a small smile and nodded, still hugging him and she placed her head on his shoulder.
"i think you should lie back down, you need your strength." he gradually loosened his grip.
“But-“ She sighed, “I-I guess you’re right.” She really didn’t want to let go of Alexander though.
Alexander sat next to her bunk "here, i'll sleep here so you don't have to worry."
Cyrus went into the kitchen to pour himself another glass. He drank it pretty quickly too, then just decided to steal the whole bottle.
"Hiya," Zhavia said as she saw Cyrus walk into the kitchen. By her chair sat three empty bottles and a half filled on in her hand. "I didn't know how good wine could be."
"Tastes like ages-old grapes," Cyrus murmured, "I'm trying to get drunk, not enjoy the wine. You're probably better off stopping there, though… Especially if by what you've said, you mean you've never been drunk before."
"That's true, but I think I'm fine." She set the bottle down next to her. "How are you feeling?" She turned to look at him.
"Godawful," he replied before tilting back the bottle and chugging what was left in it.
"Your arm, does it still hurt really bad." Walking over next to him she looked at his arm to make sure the stitches were still in. "The stitches seem fine for now."
"I'm not in that kind of pain," he replied, "In fact, it'll probably heal quite nicely at this rate. I'm talking about emotional pain. Why else do you think I'm over here drinking?"
"Talking about it helps you know, I'm quite drunk so I probably won't remember what we talk about." She walked over to get her bottle and took another drink. "So, Cyrus, what on your mind?"
Alexander sat next to her bunk "here, i'll sleep here so you don't have to worry."
”Thanks.” Eira replied, smiling and lying down.
Cyrus, who was a little tipsy at this point, began talking really quickly. The words just seemed to fall out of his mouth.
"Well, a lot's on my mind. I worry about everything constantly as it is, and it gets dismissed because what I worry about isn't realistic or likely, and then this whole stupid mission happens, which I thought was a bad idea to begin with, and all of you just about get killed, and I constantly feel like I'm responsible for you guys because I'm the oldest, and I've been here the longest. Well, turns out all my worries were right, and I'm an idiot for dismissing them out of necessity. Not to mention those files we retrieved? They've got info on my parents' manners of death, and it all traces back to Panther sending people on missions to basically die, and I. Am. Livid. To make things even worse, I have literally been on the verge of a breakdown since we left for this mission."
"Want to do something fun?" She smiled up at him with a mischievous smile. "It may help get some of that anger out." This is the first real conversation she's had with him and she's drunk, but it wasn't totally bad. "I've got a bit on my mind as well, that I wish I could forget."
"Yeah, what've you got in mind?" Cyrus asked. He stumbled away from the table to grab another bottle.
Alexander sat next to her bunk "here, i'll sleep here so you don't have to worry."
”Thanks.” Eira replied, smiling and lying down.
Alexander leaned his had back and fell asleep.
"First let's finish some more bottles." She chugged the one in her hand before grabbing another one. She chugged the next one like she was a pro wine drinker. "So, your parents what were they like?"
"It's been a long time," Cyrus admitted, "They died when I was nine. But from what I do remember, they were everything that parents should be, usually. They certainly did love me, even if they were gone a lot. My parents didn't really have a choice in the matter, but they made sure that I was safe and happy. Panther always laughed at how much I look like my mother."
"I look more like my dad. They were good parents and cared for me and my brother." She looked at the ground. "My old guild made me slaughter my own parents." She said quietly. He was the only one who knew this now. Whatever was on that tape, she remembered it all now.
Krista was still awake. She had been sitting silently in her bed, observing everyone. I could get used to this.
She slowly reached over for her bag, and pulled out her file. Grey Fox, read the label. She opened it, and nearly gasped at what she saw. She didn't though. More of a sharp intake of air.
Krista glared at the dossier. How could anyone know all of this? She continued glaring at the page until she fell asleep, hand clutching the file.
(I'm just post the dossier here for y'all's convenience. Have people find it, or whatever.)

"Well that sucks. Why would they want that?" he asked. Cyrus' words ran together a little bit. He was halfway through his second bottle.
"Heh? Because that place is evil." She took another drink and thought back to one of the videos of the girl be hypnotized, then her mind wandered to the Test Subjects of this place. "They were basically controlling her to do what they want, what if they were doing the same to them." Then something clicked. "Oh, my G-" she took another drink but nothing was helping her forget about this topic going on in her head. "I mean maybe, my guild was known for their drugs, the drugs that are well known around everywhere, their name is big everybody knows about them, but no one knows I'm from that guild and if they did, my life would turn upside down." She put her head on the counter. "Their selling their drugs to other guilds, it's some kind of drug to control people. Damn it, how come I didn't notice sooner?" She totally forgot Cyrus was standing there as she rambled on.
