Aine awoke to a pointed boot jabbing her in the rib cage. It kicked her harder, and she gasped out. "Get up!" a gruff voice demanded. "Get up and go get me more whiskey. Get up you lazy piece of rubbish!" Aine's father kicked her one last time, and then stalked off to the kitchen table, draining the last drops of alcohol from the bottle. Aine hurried to get on her feet, but her back felt like it had been crusted into a hunched position, and she could feel her ribs bruising. She stood up and swayed on the spot. "Get out!" her father hollered, waving a hand drunkenly towards the door. "Go into town and get me more!" Aine stumbled over and grabbed her cloak, pausing at the door. "But... money..." she mumbled quietly. "Take it! Take it and hurry up!" he shouted, throwing a sack of coins straight at her, and it collided into Aine with a smack, chasing the air out of her lungs. She raced through the door before her father could yell anything else.
{Hello Yuki. Could Damien meet Aine at the Tombs again?}
