A [In the immediate aftermath, Mantis can be found wherever there are injured. She starts in Wyver, but eventually ends up in Olympia as well, because the drive to Be Useful is near overwhelming. Where someone may need a hand, she's there to lend it. An errand to run? She's willing to run. (She shouldn't -- her arm is bandaged, but carefully hidden from prying eyes. It had been a harrowing trek to the top of the mountain and back.)
She almost never stops. She might hand off a hot drink, whether one is injured or just visiting. She might ask if you need a bite of food. She might offer a quick touch -- and the one who receives it might feel an immediate sense of contentment and peace.
Or she might run into someone and spill a mug of way too lot liquid all over them.]
B [She comes back to Wyver.
She always does. It's where her friends are. Her little, weird family.
She hasn't slept nearly enough. She's brittle; she's been giving so many people, whether they know it or not, a small piece of something good that it seems that she has nothing left for herself. (She could take from someone. She could steal a bit of wherewithal and courage and strength from someone else, but they all need it. They all need it so badly.)
There's a little place she frequents. It's a bar, really, one she'd shown to Peter when he'd came back to them. Quiet and homey, it suits her and if she finds herself there, ordering a drink for herself and no one else...
...well, no one can blame her, right?
Should she see someone whom she knows, she'll offer a little smile -- and look them over with a critical gaze, because one never knows if they're hurt. If they're caught up in all this as much -- or more -- than she is.]
