Interlude 4 - Kaori, The Actress, Part 12

Kaori's eyes blinked open slowly. The closed windows were made of thick, cloudy glass, which meant that the sun didn't pour into the room too strongly, and yet Kaori could tell it was morning already. Almost as soon as she woke up, she felt a headache pound against her skull, and she almost whimpered. 

"Crap, I need some water." 

Rolling out of bed, Kaori walked out of her and the others' room before moving down the stairs and into the main room. She saw her troupe gathered at a table, as the inn's workers attended to other customers around them. Kaori cut between everyone and pulled a chair back. Her eyes fell on Sinneah's glass cup, saw that it was filled with water, and she asked: 

"Please, I'm dying." 

"Bad night yesterday?" Sinneah asked, passing her the cup quickly. Kaori took the water with gratitude easy to see on her face and gulped down the contents of the cup greedily.
