Open Log - Thorne Castle
Who: Nadine and OPEN
Where: Thorne Castle
When: June 12th and 13th
What: Meeting roommates, getting acclimated, exploring
Warnings: N/A, will add if needed
Exploring
There's little to do but poke around wherever they're allowed to poke around. And, while at it, slip out a few sweets from the dining hall to share with the less fortunate. Nadine made a promise, after all.
But there's plenty to see, in this area they're kept to. The library and the study hall are of the most interest, the books and practicing mages likely the most promising option for learning anything worthwhile. Their hosts are being very specific with what they say and what they don't, offering just enough information to avoid accusations of keeping everyone entirely in the dark. But still not sharing all they know, it's obvious there's much more going on than any newcomer is privy to.
That's alright. It's not ideal but it's alright. Nadine has her purpose to put herself towards, and she does. She can be found flipping through book after book in the library and muttering under her breath or quietly watching magic lessons in the study hall, eyes narrowed and lips pursed as she follows as best she can.
And of course, she makes sure to linger in the dining hall, idling by the offerings of food and perusing them seemingly casually. When she thinks she isn't being watched, she'll slip a small morsel of dessert or chocolate treat into her tunic sleeve.
Room 2
The idea of shared quarters is not one that Nadine is thrilled about. She'd already met one earlier, and somehow, through some blessed - or cursed - twist of fate, it's a friendly face. Sort of. She'd never met Lloyd before but she knows who he is, and any right hand of her husband's...he's on her side, is the point. Someone she can, to some extent trust. And who'll look out for her.
But there are two beds who's occupants she's yet to meet, and she's too pragmatic to imagine they'll be left empty. Especially now, the day winding down. It's been a hectic and long one, and Nadine's feeling it in her bones. She settles on her own bed, curtains open, and hands folded in her lap to contemplate her next move and wait for whoever she's stuck sharing her personal space with.

And to make money. For Vought, the board of directors and himself, of course. Not that it's going to matter much, even back home, with everything blowing up the way it did. He giggles at his own joke. He's generally hilarious even if no one can hear it.
"You're right, never heard of it. Ninety nine percent, huh? That's- wow, that's a lot of dead people." the smile is threatening to break out, but Homelander tries to hide it by taking a drink. "I hope they didn't come back as zombies. I'm sorry, that was completely inappropriate."

"Sounds like your Earth is a lot more exciting than mine. But on the plus side, non-rationed running water and fresh food are pretty exciting to me right now. And I'm probably wearing clothes that don't actually belong to a dead person, which is something I haven't done in about half a year. Silver linings to being magically abducted."
She's quiet a moment, looking at him, before asking: "So...you're planning to help Thorne?"

That, and the flattery. The way the mages had looked at him, as he rose naked and unashamed from the water. The stunned and awed look that he could never get enough of. It was probably the only reason he ever said yes to any autograph signings and photo-ops.
"My earth has it's problems. Human-made, like most problems are, but still-" Homelanders eyes narrow, "It's home."
