[Sometime in July] For Greta

[every_blossom_blooming]

Nina didn't know what to do. Inej was busy, and Nina couldn't bring herself to go to the Crow Club and say anything in front of Kaz. And, maybe, some part of her was almost afraid of how her best friend might react. Inej hadn't exactly had a good opinion of Geralt less than a year ago, and though by the fall things had seemed better between them, she just--

She just needed to talk to someone. Maybe someone that was not so tangled up in her personal relationships. She found herself on her way to Greta's house before she was thinking too hard about anything at all.

When she got to the door, she stood there for a long moment before she could finally bring herself to knock.

Greta's the only one in the cottage when the knock comes. It's a bit unusual, but not unpleasantly so. She and Thomas had both decided it wouldn't hurt for him to have some one-on-one time with Saoirse, and their trip to the beach had freed her to enjoy some peace and quiet.

Not that the knock is unwelcome (though if whoever it is is looking for Saoirse or Thomas, they'll be disappointed). Greta bustles over to the door and opens it, smiling to see Nina on the stoop. "Nina, hello," she says cheerily, before she can take full note of the look on the girl's face. Her expression shifts a little, brow furrowing in concern, but she doesn't start hurling questions. Instead, she steps back to usher her in.

"I was just about to have some tea out on the deck," she says. "Care to join me?"
