Battered and bruised, Olesya returned to the Dragon Territory with her men, August at her side. He had offered to carry her since her Qi had wiped her out, but she refused. She needed to be on her own two feet as long as she could. The other men were walking, and short of being unconscious, she would be too.
They parted ways, Olesya returning to her empty home to get cleaned up before retreiving Maddie. She didn't want the girl to see her covered in dirt and blood (which may or may not be her own). She stripped, showered, and changed, adopting a white cotton v neck tshirt with a long hem that fell past her hips and coal colored leggings. She was too sore for jeans or anything too rigid, so dressing for comfort it was. She bandaged her few wounds, they were all superficial and would heal quickly.
Slipping her black ballet flats back on, she tossed her torn and bloodies clothes in the trash on her way out the door.
The all-clear had been given, and the safe houses had unlocked and opened, allowing the citizens to wander back into the sunlight. Among them were Youichi and Maddie, looking around for their white haired friend and mother. Olesya stepped forward, waving tiredly to catch their attention as she approached. Maddie shrieked, breaking free from Youchi's hold to launch herself at Olesya at full tilt.
The impact sent Olesya falling onto her ass, but she was too busy hugging her daughter to care. Tears fell from both their eyes as they hugged eachother as tightly as they could. Olesya looked up as Youchi stepped up to them, a mild smile in place at the display of familial affection, but there was worry in her eyes.
"August?"
She managed to choke out, her voice seeming to not cooperate with her. Her eyes searched Olesya's for answers, but before she could respond-
"You rang?"
Youichi's gaze shot to the source of the sound, surprise, worry, and excitement etched in her normally placid features. August was standing a couple feet away, still dirty but bandaged up and grinning madly. Youichi seemed to have forgotten everyone else around her, beelining for him and throwing her arms around his neck.
"You reckless, smarmy, good-for-nothing-!"
Her empty protests were cut off by August cupping her face in his hands and kissing her. Youichi froze for a second, momentarily overloaded by the disrupt in her rant before switching gears and kissing him back.
Olesya smirked, looking away from the couple and focusing back on her daughter. She smoothed a couple strands of fly away hair from her face.
"Are you ready to go home?"
"Yes please...*gasp* and Oliver! We left him outside!"
Olesya chuckled, pushing herself achily back to her feet. She took Maddie's hand and began walking home away from the crowd of reuniting families and friends.
"Oliver is fine. I saw him hiding out under the steps. You can even give him some milk tonight okay?"
"Okay!"
She squeezed Maddies hand gently, thankful with every fiber of her being for being able to come home.
