Val got the text from Alfie about Tristan's death and immediately went into overdrive. Abandoning the repotting she was in the middle of, she washed her arms of soil and tossed her apron to the side as she rushed into the main part of the house. She slid into Riley's bedroom and pulled down the covers, hauling out her favourite pyjamas and fluffing up her pillows. A quick sleep charm on her pillow, and she was out the door again, gathering her medical herbs and brewing an extremely strong pot of lavender and valerian root tea.

Pausing, she ran to her room and changed into a comfortable hoodie, figuring she'd be doing a lot of holding once her sister got back and wanting her to have the most comfortable surface to rest against possible. Chewing on her lip, she sits at the kitchen table and runs through a list of things she might need. Knocking her out and letting her sleep through her initial grief may be the best choice, she figures. The lavender tea would help with that but she stuffed a bit of dried chamomile into a pouch and shoved it under her pillow to infuse it through the room.

She sighs, feeling useless as she finishes what she can prepare before Ji-Yun arrives, and sits down on the corner of her bed. Wringing her hands, she waits and tries to prepare herself for the state her sister might be in.

 Val let out a heavy sigh of relief as she and Les finally approached the cottage. "You may as well come in and rest for awhile," she offered, getting out her key and unlocking the door. A few odd twists lowered the basic wards she kept active whenever she and Riley were out and she headed in.

"Riley? Lara? I'm home. I brought company..." she called into the house.

The familiar feeling of her personal collection of greenery and the magic she'd put into them quickly calmed her nerves and she began to collect the things she'd need to set up a good strong set of wards to keep out the curse. This house would be the safest goddamn place in town, if she had anything to say about it.

 Val bounced out of bed, early for once in her life. A strengthening potion and a couple good sleeps later and she was brimming with magic and very much ready to start work on the Middleton Estate. Skipping down the hall, she knocked open Riley's door and threw herself across her still sleeping form.
 
"Unniiiie!" she called into her ear, giggling. "Wakey-wakey! I need your help today. I'll even treat you to breakfast on our way."
 
Not even bothering to wait for her to get up, she bounded over to her closet and hauled out an outfit, tossing it behind her onto her sister's head. A moment later, she was halfway down the hall, singing some Taylor Swift song at the top of her lungs as she gathered up chalk and herbs for the spell circle. A ridiculously quick, and noisy, minute later she was dressed and in makeup. The plants in the house had begun to go a little wild, tossing off new blooms, which she admonished them for and promised she'd be pruning later. Taking a deep calming breath, she went back to Riley's room.
 
"Come on, slowpoke! I'm ready when you are."
