Quite. Eventually, they finish the salad, and Aka starts to wash the bowl, cutting board, knives and forks.

Darad carefully replaces the knives into their sleeves as Aka goes back up on tiptoe to replace the bowl. Which, unfortunately, comes crashing down to the floor, shattering at Aka's feet.
For a moment, Aka just looks down at the pieces, before she looks at Darad. "I told you so," she says softly before gingerly stepping over the shards. Without another word, she moves out of the kitchen, and down the stairs to the basement.
Darad just shakes his head sadly and moves to pick up the glass. After a moment, the heavy iron door of one of the isolation chambers slams from the basement, and Darad sighs. "I told her not to freak out, but did she listen to the Sentinel? Noooo...." he mumbles. He dumps the glass into the garbage. "I've just known her longer than anyone else, by why should I know when she's about to freak?"

Tall watches silently, unsure what to make of all this. He pauses. "She just shut herself up in an isolation chamber?" It was phrased as a question, but more a of a statement, and invitation for Darad to say more.

Darad rises from wiping up the tiny shards. "Yep."

"what's going on with her? Is she nervous about my issues?"

"Nope." He pauses, dropping the rag into the garbage. "Well, that sped it up a bit, but she just had one of ehr mini-breakdowns."

"Please, do go on," he implores.

Darad shrugs. "About once a year, Aka takes it into her head that everything is her fault... Usually after Nadia calls about Remi, actually. Combined with what happened with Randy, trying to piece back together the Old Realm, and well... the possiblity of losing you, and she went off a little ahead of schedule..."

Tall pauses, thinking. "What do...you guys usually do during these periods?" It seemed strange to think that it might be best to just leave her be, though he had the feeling that was going to be the answer.

"Oh, Kellen handles it," he replies simply, flumping onto the couch. "It's a simple matter of him knocking some sense into her."

He remains silent. "Well, I'm going to go see Aka."

"Door's locked, but you can try," Darad replies.

He nods. "I am." With that, he goes downstairs, looking for the isolation chamber Aka would be in.

All the doors are open except for the first one, the one Aka converted into her study.
