SCAWWY 😱 erin

The scientific name Campsis derives from the Greek word 'kampe' which means 'bent' and which refers to the branches that bend under the weight of the profusion of flowers. In the symbolism of plants the trumpet vine represents 'a fresh start', referring to the beginning of autumn. The flowers are used to prepare a tea to relieve menstrual cramps, as well as an emmenaogue to promote menstruation. The decoction made from the roots is taken as a tea to promote urination, as well as an antidote for scorpion and snake venoms, although this has not been proven scientifically.

I'm currently with a whole lot of scales, feel very slimy, with an impending death tomorrow, and also I'm here because I killed someone and that feels pretty rough.

You tell me how I'm holdin' up.

[Despite her words it seems she's holding up well, at least enough for a conversation. She's currently grappling with the need to harm you all because, you know, monster! But she's channeling that into her deadpan tone. It's a way of coping]

Can't really do a lot for all that. Sorry. [ apologetic, but he comes closer rather than being afraid of threat of attack. it's her voice he's worried about - he doesn't need any alluring or charming, here. ] Wish I could. Nobody deserves that kinda dread hangin' over their heads.

[ frowning slightly, alfyn moves to sit down across from her. doesn't matter if it's bench or ground, he'll ease himself down and simply. look at her. ]

... did it take control of you, or was it for one of those things in the basement?

I'm not good enough of a person to do something altruistic with one of those things, and hopefully not evil enough to want something for myself with murder as its cost.

[That's such a roundabout way of saying it was the monster. Truthfully, part of the reason why Erin is currently in a state to talk is because she's having an intensely bitter internal battle with the monster out of absolute spite, for daring to get her in this situation]
