[After Caster's altercation with Kate that night, she found herself staggering back into town. Kate was safe, but...Caster's face was still stinging horribly. It hurt- and everything looked just a little fuzzy on one side- more so than could be explained by her potion to see in darkness wearing off.
By the time the first traces of the morning bustle started, a glimpse in a shop window revealed a rather nasty, swollen black eye. That would do it.
...she didn't want to walk home like this. Maybe she could call someone out to where she was? No, it was too early for that, and staring at her device was giving her a headache.
So instead, that morning, Caster could be found sitting on a bench in town outside a grocery store, hood down as she pressed some frozen vegetables to her cheek and looking very sorry for herself.
And just to make matters worse- she spotted someone nearby who she'd been doing everything she could to avoid. She had no desire to anger Hypnos further, after all!]
Action - backdated to like end of April/early May
