[ This is the second time that Elena's woken somewhere strange, under even stranger circumstances. None of this would be all that difficult for her to cope with except - that silence isn't just outside, it's inside as well. Her head is devoid of the presence of the rest of the Nest, her broodmates not even distance flickers she can't reach. They're just gone, as if all five of them were...

She doesn't fight the hands that clean her up, her disorientation so pronounced that she's more worried about hurting someone with her vampire strength if she tries. It's not until she starts to be ushered outside that she protests, quickly typing out on her own device an explanation about her condition: if she encounters direct sunlight, she'll die. Thank goodness the woman takes her at her word; she's allowed to stay there until sunset, and it's only then that Elena ventures out into the community, following the posted signs and taking care with her steps. Enhanced vision helps her see the sand pathways with no trouble as darkness falls, and she'll do her best to make her way somewhere safe without incident. (Which would be so much easier if she wasn't hungry.) But if she finds someone else outside, perhaps having a far worse time than her - well, it's in Elena's nature to help anyone and everyone who needs it. ]

[ The second the awareness of another host flickers into her mind, Elena jumps up from whatever she's doing, nearly knocking over her chair and breaking that precious crystalline silence. She reaches out along that thread of mental connection created between them by the symbiotes, latching onto it with all her mental strength and practically shouting at the other person from her enthusiasm. It doesn't even matter who it is, she isn't alone here anymore. ]

( Where are you?! )

[ Hit me with your best shot! Elena can't go out in daylight because of her (secret) vampire nature, but she can be active during daytime so long as she stays safely out of the sun. Feel free to hit me up via PM, over at taintedcrimson or on discord at taintedcrimson#0896 to chat things out! Anyone wanna get nommed on by a hungry baby vampire? ]
