Amelia's Practice

[jasperxxvalentine-deactivated20]

"You know? I think they oversell the satisfying part. I've been eating these things all damn day, and I feel like I haven't eaten at all." Part of him was sure he was going to be sick after putting so many foreign creatures into his system. But, he'd adjusted to raw meat, surely bugs were only one rung down the self-respect ladder. "Wait- really? Anything?" He looked around, smiling coyly. "What's the biggest, greasiest thing they've got in those vans then, ay?"

[amelialaroche]

"I guess that's good to know. I can't believe they would lie to us like this. But it makes sense, we're probably like a hundred times bigger than them after all." She laughed knowing that it all came from a kids movie anyway. Amelia shrugged slightly. "Yeah why not! I mean I would say you could probably do well with a burger but truly go nuts, the sky's the limit."

[xanderxmoorex]

"You're welcome," Avery smiles, he's not saying it just got saying he really does think its a pretty name.

"Right? I think people just like to complain, you're a sad fucker, gotta make everyone a sad fucker too," he sighs, shaking his head, honestly he didn't get it. Why people acted like that, isntead of moving on and letting others do their thing. "Not anymore, no," he shakes his head, "I mean, as a teen I've had some issues, with anger... Some family stuff I didn't feel wanted and it's never easy being the--emo kid when you're in highshcool," he actually does smile at that because now it all just seems so trivial, "So I'd lash out and get into fights, but I've got over that. And now its--5000 Times wrose. I'm no longer a moody teenager and its just--its--fucking me up to be honest, I just never though I'd back here. Feeling like this. I just thought from that point on I was gonna be a well ajusted adult," he sighs, running a hand trough his hair, Avery leans back on his chair again, it felts good to let all that out, to someone who actually understand. "I hope so," Ave nods, "Yeah, I can't do this on my own, trust me I tried, sometimes you gotta admit you need help," and while that was somewhat hard to see, mostly because he's been embrassed to admit what was happening to him, he knew this was the way to go, ask for help, "Yeah?" He asks, there's a pleading look on his eyes as he looks over at her, "I'm just so... Scared of losing myself. I was the best version of me, and--then it just.." he sighs, reaching in his pocket, he grabs his phone and hands it over to her.

"He's very tallent and if you ask him about music you'll have your ears talked off, which I'm going to admit, I also do," Avery chuckles, it was true he's got that side of his dad, like many things, the music love and the never ending rambling for sure come from him, "I can teach you if you want," he offers, "I'm a music producer actually," he smiles proudly, "But becuase of the--you know? I haven't been working. But I also play the guitar and a bit of piano, dad taught me that too, but huh--you're already thinking like a musician, so I'll be more than glad to teach you somethings if you'd like."

[amelialaroche]

"Oh for sure, they always need something to complain about." Amelia hated those types of people and never wanted to become one of them. It never made sense to her, making yourself miserable over and over again while dragging down everyone around you. "Well you're preaching to the choir on those feelings but you're valid. Hopefully it got better for you? I know I got into my own fair share of fights over not feeling wanted." Amelia said with a soft and knowing smile. She sighed slightly, not missing the anger part of newly transforming in the least. "First off well adjusted adult is a myth sadly and the sooner you learn that the easier it is for you. But yeah sadly the anger part is real but it doesn't last long, I promise." She said reassuringly.

"Oh I definitely understand. I tried doing it on my own too but that lasted all but a moth probably before I finally broke and told someone, eventually finding out that they were one too and he helped me with it all." Sure she found out later that Rio was the reason she turned but Amelia always had a soft spot for him and forgave him quickly. "But the pack here is always helpful to wolves, whether you're in it or not. We all have been where you are and want to help make it easier." It was one of the things Amelia loved most about this place, the sense of community they all seemed to have. She softened immediately when he spoke about not wanting to lose himself. "I know how scary that is. But I promise you're still there and you can still be the best version of you. This is just a slight bump in the road and now you have some extra badassness about you." Amelia tried to lighten the mood as she typed her number into his phone and handed it back. "My number's in there. Just give me a call or text literally whenever you need someone okay?"

"Hey there's worse things out there to talk about! At least with music there's always something new to discover." Amelia always loved learning about new music, whether it was a new artist she never heard of or even just techniques to how it was made. "Wait really you would do that?" She asked, shocked that he would offer for her. "Hey that sounds so cool! Hopefully you can get back into it soon though. But I have to admit I doubt there's much need for one in Greywood itself but I'm sure you can easily go to the city and set up shop there."

@amelialaroche

Rio had been contemplating the news ever since Amelia had started texting him; focusing half on the tasks he was assigned for work and half on what the fuck could possibly be going on with Llewellyn Baxter. He'd seen a lot of shit in his life, but people generally didn't just fuck off for a decade and magically reappear acting like nothing ever happened.

He remembered those days, back when Amelia had been a wreck when Llew had missed plans, stopped returning texts and phone calls. Truthfully he'd always seemed like a good guy from Rio's perspective - and he made Amelia so damn happy. Then he'd disappeared and broke her heart into pieces for Rio to pick up and help glue back together.

As soon as he was clocked out for the day he'd headed straight for Amelia's, no doubt in his mind that he needed more to this story. He was barely in the door before he started asking questions. "So hold on, hold on. You mean to tell me this asshole just walked up to you on the street and said 'hey Amelia, long time no see let's pick up where we left off' or some shit? I need the whole story. Who does that?"

[amelialaroche]

Amelia was practically crying from the moment Rio said he was going to come over. She always felt better when he was around and sure sometimes they riled each other up but he was the person that has been with her through thick and thin so she was relieved when he invited himself over. James was put to bed early with a little bit of a fuss but ultimately she got him down. She grabbed her favorite bottle of tequila from the kitchen, deciding to skip the extra step of a glass, and sat down with her thoughts until Rio came over.

She got up quickly as soon as she heard the knock, not wanting to be alone for a second more. Hearing Rio immediately go into it was enough to make her laugh slightly. If there was anyone who would always match her energy with being upset it was Rio. "I mean you forgot the part where he tried to hug and kiss me but yeah pretty much." Amelia sighed as she sat down on the couch and took a long drink. "I was walking, heard someone calling my name only for it to be him. He was acting like he hadn't seen me in a couple of days not ten fucking years." Amelia handed the bottle over to Rio knowing they could both use it at the moment. "And then now his sister texted me and it was a whole ass mess."

[llewellyn-baxter]

"Whoa- what- wait--" As he wasn't expecting to be shoved away so roughly-- actually, at all-- Llewellyn's grip of her fell away as he easily got pushed back a couple of steps. Funny, how she could move such a large man and yet, she had, without trouble. He didn't understand what was going on, why she was so angry with him. Had he done something? The man stood in confused and shocked silence for several beats as he mentally racked his brain for anywhere he could have unintentionally hurt her.

He'd never hurt her.

And then, as it had so many times in the past several days, that crushing reality came flooding back. This wasn't just tomorrow for her, this was ten years gone from tomorrow. She hadn't seen him in ten years and, judging from her visceral reaction, she'd had no idea what happened to him, either. Of course she was hurt. It was all his fault and yet it truly wasn't-- but how did he explain any of that? Even to him, who this insane stuff was happening to, all of it sounded like some made up crap of an excuse. Like he had done nothing more than run away from everyone and come back with his tail between his legs and a terrible fake reason for it.

"I-- Amelia.. you don't understand," Llewellyn stumbled on his words, desperate to have her listen as he moved back in, trying to take one of her hands, "I don't even know... I don't, I just-- this is all so crazy, I swear it is, I just showed up! You've got to believe me, this--" he gesticulated wildly at himself, "--isn't me, it's older.. You're older.. Everyone is older! I don't know what's happened."

[amelialaroche]

Amelia tried to shake him off of her but ultimately she missed the comfort he always gave her, so she reluctantly let him hold her hand. Her anger subsided slightly just looking at him. He was safe and of course that was one of Amelia's main concerns but here he was right in front of her alive and well. But the flip side to that also broke her heart because that meant that he might have really left her because he couldn't handle their time together. So now the anger was turning into hurt and she didn't know how to process any of it.

"Yeah that's what happens when you've fucked off for a decade." She spat out, hurt clearly behind her words. "Oh you don't know what happened? You've been gone ten fucking years Llewellyn. What the hell do you mean you don't know what happened?" Amelia couldn't even begin to imagine where he could have been all those years. "Do you know how scared I was for you? I didn't know where you were or if you were dead and now you think you can just come back here and act like everything is normal and nothing has changed?"

[opheliasflood]

"oh, just this. i do admin work, i'm not a lawyer or anything," ophelia quickly explained. "i'm a p.a but, i've ended up doing a few other things alongside it. curse of being too efficient," the blonde joked. "a family lawyer? which firm do you work at?" she wondered if amelia worked at the same place she did, and that ophelia had simply never seen her around. it'd be good though, to have two lawyers under her proverbial belt, to help her out. "i would like to go in and study international law,"

[amelialaroche]

Amelia nodded, knowing that it was a common stepping stone for some future lawyers. "I used to do something similar when I was in law school. It's a good way to know the ropes and get some extra knowledge. Sadly isn't that the way, too good at your job and they give you more work." She laughed, knowing that struggle all too well. "Oh I have my own, and honestly it's just a small group of us in an even smaller building." It wasn't very fancy but it got the job done and Amelia liked to think that everyone enjoyed working there. She whistled slightly, clearly impressed. "Woah that's big leagues! More power to you for that!"

[chuckcharlesley]

"Foster care?" Willow looked up at the woman. She'd never been in care though she probably should have been at some point. There was too much money changing hands for that to happen and the nannies were the ones keeping track of her and her siblings most of the time anyway. She didn't even know about the existence of the system until she was in high school and really started diving into books about the subject but even that didn't resonate with her.

"Kids in foster care get lawyers? How's that work?" No one had ever fought for her ever so she wasn't exactly sure what that even looked like. "Yea, seems like there's just a lot more bulldozers in the world lately."

[amelialaroche]

"Yeah I grew up in it so I just have always wanted to make a better place than what I had." She said with a shrug. Amelia had always wanted a family, and she knew for a fact most kids in her position wanted it too, so it was natural for her to want to provide that as much as she could to those that came after her.

"They always have a right to an attorney! I'm there to make sure their interests are best protected. There's basically a few different items I cover could range from adoption, to getting parental rights removed, to even making sure the kids get the best placement within the system." Amelia knew she could talk for hours about what she did. It was hard sure, but it was something that she loved doing because it felt like she was making a difference. "Honestly I feel that a lot. It's so depressing."

[nverendingmuses]

Vera smiles." Alright lets finish our drinks and then get going. The night is still young and we should take full advantage, I just-" She pauses briefly, spinning the drink in her hand." I missed hanging out. I know that I've been traveling a lot which leaves me with little time for a social life outside of work but still we should do this more often Amelia." The witch admitted, she had planned to stay longer this time, her next goal was to open a shop in town so she was going to try her best to do just so.

[amelialaroche]

Amelia softened immediately, reaching out to hold Vera's hand in comfort. "Hey you're getting all sappy on me." She teased slightly but gave her hand a squeeze. "I always love hanging out with you. Just tell me when and I'll always be free." She always tried to have her friends know how much she cared and appreciated them, and Vera was one of her best friends.

[llewellyn-baxter]

@amelialaroche

As he sat there in the sun, Llewellyn stared down at his hands and flexed the fingers every some... Then he would turn his hands over and back again, like he wasn't sure which part of himself was more foreign. It wasn't anything too obvious, either... Just slight variations, differences, new tiny imperfections that the witch knew hadn't been there before. And that was just in his hands... Llewellyn looked up for the umpteenth time to stare at his reflection in the window of the cafe, a tiny furrow above his brow that said he wasn't sure whether to be confused or concerned. Perhaps a little of both?

Truly, the man had yet to fully process everything he had been told in the past week since his return. So much had gone on already, it was a lot to sink in. In some respect, Llewellyn thought maybe they were all playing some elaborate joke on him-- haha, you big dolt, you'd believe you were gone for a full ten years? As comforting as that would be, he couldn't believe it simply for the cruelty that could come with them dragging it out so long. And, of course, all the sudden visible changes across his features. Llewellyn's hand pressed in at his cheek, then his fingers smoothed across his brow, making some attempt to try and pull away new wrinkles he didn't recognize. He looked older. And that was such a strange thing to come to terms with, to the point he wasn't even sure what to think or feel about any of it. Just days ago, he was a twenty-five year old man that was weeks away from signing onto his favorite NFL team-- when he smiled, the lines didn't crease that way.

Llewellyn shook his head, averting his gaze away so he didn't have to keep thinking about these awful changes. His body said it was all true but his mind refused to catch up with this new reality. Mentally, he was still that twenty-five year old man with his entire future ahead of him. It was all slowly coming back to him, but he could even remember why he was back in Greywood to begin with. Yes, to see his family-- always, he came to visit them often and for lengthy periods of time too, and had always known he would settle here permanently again once his time in the big leagues was over. Yes, to check in on how the renovations to the home he had purchased were going. But most importantly, it was to let them all know about his plans regarding that bright future and to collect his grandmother's ring, too.

It became apparent as he sat there, that Llewellyn realized he'd been staring at someone across the street. Not intentionally-- she'd just happened into the area his eyes were already looking and well, now he focused. And sprang to his feet suddenly. "Amelia!" He gasped, loudly, and those long legs had him steps into the street before some giant van careened around him, honking madly as the driver cursed him for having chased into the roadway without even looking. With little patience or care to how close a call that'd been, Llewellyn waved them out of his way and took up a fast jog to finish crossing the street. "Amelia!" he sought after the woman, absolutely certain it was her even though she somehow looked different at the same time. He grabbed for her hand, pulling the woman back around to him and gathered her up in his arms, nearly giving her a crushing hug. "Oh my God, I missed you," his face buried into her hair as he let that relief flow through him. "It's been a crazy few days, babe, you don't even know." He was mentally stuck back ten years prior, so much so that even being told otherwise, the man had forgotten all of that immediately once seeing her. All he could think now was that it was Amelia, and he sought her comfort and kisses immediately.

[amelialaroche]

Amelia always liked to be outside, a habit she had growing up and wanted to be out of any foster home she was in. So when it was a nice day out Amelia decided to take her lunch time to just walk around and enjoy the weather. She stopped in her tracks when she heard her name being called, looking in multiple directions before she heard it again. Turning in just the right time to see a ghost from her past run across the street with long honks following in his wake.

She felt like she was in some sick dream. Here Llew was back and hugging her? She stood frozen in her tracks until her mind finally caught up with the words he was saying and Amelia pushed him off of her. "Days? Days? You fucking asshole!" Her blood was boiling now thinking back to how she was left in the dust by him. "It's been ten years. Where the fuck were you?"

The last time she saw her ex was when he told her he was going back home for something and then he never came back. Amelia tried texting him, calling him, but it was radio silence for a decade and she was heartbroken to say the least. The two were supposed to share their forever together and clearly he must have had second thoughts because Amelia was left alone with no word. She told herself she came to Greywood only because he talked about it so much, but in truth she was hoping to find him here but there was nothing.

[prettyboy-glowinggold]

Charlie pulled his knees back to his chest, and draped his arms over his knees. He moved his right hand over to his left hand and started to fiddled with he wedding band. "I haven't been around other wolves before." Charlie shrugged as he kept his eyes fixed on the wall across from them. "I learnt everything I know, by myself you know, and then I find out this town exist." Charlie let out a breath. "Would of been good, to find out about all this sooner, maybe I could off....." Charlie shook his head. He didn't need to dwell on the past. What happened, happened. No matter what Charlie thought, or hoped. It won't change anything. "How is it? Being in the pack?"

[amelialaroche]

Amelia listened, tilting her head slightly to take everything in. "I understand, I was the same for a little bit in the beginning. It's harder out there. You never know who to trust or who to turn to." It took her forever to trust anyone let alone someone to help her learn more about being a werewolf. She nodded at his words. "I had a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth knowing that people just got help on their own about all of this. But there's still so much you can learn from others here. I love being in the pack, they're all some of my best friends. It really was one of the first places I felt like I belonged."

[eilonwyj]

"talk talk," eilonwy confirmed with a pleased little smile, watching as the bees that she'd placed around the bowl of sugar sticking their long and curled tongues into it to take a drink. the fae opened the window next to them so once finished, they could begin to make their way out. "i could do a little communication, mainly with bigger mammals, not to the extent i do now. it's all of them now," there was an edge of awe to her voice as she spoke, clearly pleased with how it had progressed.

the woman asked for her help because she didn't want an exterminator, something that pleased her greatly to hear. "yes! that's the right attitude to have. they do so much for us, and it's greatly underappreciated," a little sigh left her lips. "it is, because they'd be on the defensive," though, many of them had since disappeared from the wall, one or two a little slower in mobilizing. once the queen had gone, they followed suit.

[amelialaroche]

Amelia nodded, finding it curious. "That's really cool. Like really cool. I just got clocking people's emotions more easily." She laughed at herself knowing she was always a bit of a people pleaser but this just took the cake. "So do you have like little creature best friends? Because I think I would immediately go around trying to befriend every one I could find."

"Exactly! Like it just is cruel to take them out when they are probably just as confused and scared as I am." Amelia really wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't for her son and his allergies. "That makes total sense. I'm glad it's not like that then."

[xanderxmoorex]

Avery nods, knowing her comment wasn't meant in a mean way, he sits down and calls over the bartender, "Amelia, its pretty," he smiles, "Its nice to mee you too."

Avery actually finds himself laughing at her comment, "Right? I mean I could understand if I was being extra loud it could hurt the dogs hearing, but I was not, it was and accoustic guitar for fucks sake!" He huffs shaking his head, why would someone be against mysic was beyond him. "Yeah, but asshole or not I just--violence is not my thing. I've had some issues as a teen... Anger issues and the fights always left me feeling a little guilty, even if the other person did deserve a punch to the face, you know what I mean?" He sighs, it was still ironic to him that the had gone trough anger issues as a kid only to become a goddam werewolf as an adult, "But yeah, this--this is---a lot wrose than teen angst," he shakes his head, "I'm new to this Wolf thing yeah," he smiles gently, "I'm trying to get my control in order but its not easy," he sighs taking a hand to his hair, "Its been hard to accpet the changes, its --making me a diffent person and I don't know how to deal with it," he admits, a frown on his face as he does so, he hoped she understand, it was always hard to explain this. "Oh, it's okay, thank you, I think I got it. My dad was like a guitar genius, he'd modify them and actually built a few, so I got some of the basis," he smiled, if anything maybe this was the ice breaker he needed after the way he left things with both his dads. "You for sure, sound like my kind of person, I'm honestly always either listening or playing something" he chuckles.

[amelialaroche]

"Thank you." She said with a smile, knowing it was the only thing her mother gave to her. Hell, in truth she didn't even know if that was the truth or if someone at the hospital gave it to her before she was put straight into foster care.

She smiled when he laughed, happy to be making him at least laugh about the situation a little bit. "Yeah there's no excuse for acting like a total tool." Amelia rolled her eyes, annoyed for his sake. She listened as he continued on about being against violence. "I understand that, you're just not someone who usually punches first and asks questions later." Amelia could understand that. As a kid she had gotten into scruffs and it mostly died down until she was bitten by a wolf. So Amelia nodded her head in understanding. "It's hard at the beginning but you'll get the hang of it. Plus being here is probably one of the greatest things you could have done for yourself. There's a lot of people here who can help you. I know you think it's making you into a different person but I promise you that you're still in there. Here give me your phone." Amelia said as she held out her hands expectingly.

"Oh that's really cool! I always was fascinated that people could just do that." She laughed. "Sadly I was never blessed with the opportunity to learn how to play but it always looks so cool. But I feel like music is one of the most beautiful art forms out there. Like you could just tell how much love and passion it is for everyone involved."

[jasperxxvalentine-deactivated20]

"Protein? That's probably what all the gooey stuff is, right?" he looked over to her, smirking playfully for a moment. "At least that's what I'm gonna keep tellin' myself." He smacked his lips, screwing up his face dramatically to let her know that the taste certainly left a lot to be desired. "If you wanna sit over here, I can catch anything that gets between you and your burger?" He hoped he could make it work, though he wasn't too worried. If she lost her appetite, it would hopefully mean he could have what she couldn't eat. Win win.

[amelialaroche]

"Oh probably. As The Lion King taught us it's slimey yet satisfying." She joked knowing that she had seen that movie way too many times to count thanks to her son. "Yeah? That's very kind of you! Do you want anything? My treat." Amelia felt bad to eat in front of him if he wasn't actually getting anything himself.

[opheliasflood]

amelia and ophelia - she couldn't help the smile that formed on her face at the fact their names both rhymed. "likewise," the blonde nodded in agreement. she held up the bag still in her hands, filled with a pad, pencil case and a laptop within its own cover. "work-related issues. they're doing a big system shift and court-cases don't stop for anyone sooo i've been tasked with making sure there's backups of emails for a few other lawyers," not just her own, ophelia was proving to be a particularly capable P.A to the point a few others often asked for her assistance, to which she agreed.

[amelialaroche]

"God do I feel that so much." Amelia laughed, knowing she's taken her work home a few too many times. "I remember those days though, do you just do this or are you working for your own practice?" She asked curiously, always down to talk shop. "I'm a family lawyer so I know my little subsection of law isn't as nearly enticing as others but I do have real estate beat. I never understood how anyone could get into that."

[prettyboy-glowinggold]

Charlie smiled as he watched Amelia pull her knees to her chest. "You are doing really good." Charlie said as he leaned his head back, keeping his eyes on the number panel. So he would know when it came back on. Charlie shook his head. "No, you aren't being weird." Charlie reassured her. Charlie knew that this town was full of supernaturals. He felt it the moment he crossed the town lines, he just wasn't use to people asking so freely about him being a wolf. "Yeah, only been in town for six months now. It's takes getting use too, having people know what I am or just asking. Not what I'm use too, that's for sure."

[amelialaroche]

"Thanks." She said with a small smile, happy to have the small praise. Amelia looked up at Charlie, taking in what he had to say. "I get that completely. The town definitely takes some getting used to for most people. I've been here about seven years now and there's still things that surprise me sometimes." She laughed. "I feel sometimes the longer you're here the more you forget how weird it is to just straight up ask like that. Everyone sometimes forgets that it might take some time to be used to everything supernatural."

[wolfontheloose]

“Yeaaa, nooo, ya don’t want me t’join ya in the appropriate levels of freakin’ out. I tend t'go o’er the top.” Last time Ryden truly freaked out he’d had an outright panic attack, trouble breathing and all. It was not fun for anyone involved, especially himself. “Yea, yea, everyone always does.” And Amelia would know, being a pack leader was no picnic. It sounded cool and all but sometimes it was a shitty business. Nothing like being in charge to make you everyone’s punching bag when it comes to blame, but he knew Amelia was joking. If nothing else, she’d be one of those who’d stick to his side, along with Jeremy and the rest of their unit. 

“As a mechanic, I say everythin’ man-made is sure t’break sooner or later. Is just laws of physics, I don’t make the rules.” He shrugged indifferently, watching her slide down to sit on the floor. “I mean, I can try pryin’ the elevator door open? But tough luck if we’re stuck b’tween floors.” He offered, with the same nonchalance with which he’d offer to take a look at a broken car or any other gadget he might be able to fix. After all, rumor around the pack was that Ryden was strong. A lot of the kiddo werewolves would dare each other and puff their chests comparing their own strength with that of their pack’s alpha. But just how strong Ryden actually was, rare few had really witnessed it. Pack wasn’t above tooting their own horn, their pride in their community was immense and outright obnoxious. A sure way to piss off a werewolf was to talk trash about their pack or call them up on their bullshit about it. Which was both adorable and very difficult to put up with. They were sometimes worse than a frat group.

[amelialaroche]

"Alright fair enough." Amelia laughed, she was already starting to relax with Ryden by her side. He always had a way of getting her to get out of her head when she needed it. "Which is why for most things I'm right there by your side, ready to yell at anyone who needs it. But right now it's a little pathetic if I start yelling at an elevator." She teased about herself. In truth she would do anything for him, he was one of her best friends and she hoped he always knew it.

"That's true I guess. Plus I feel like the more recently it's been made the more likely it's going to break sooner." She tended to be cynical about situations like this. Amelia quickly waved off the thought. "No, I don't want you to get hurt. I know you're all dying to prove to me how big and strong you are but it's okay we'll get out of here." She was more telling herself than Ryden. Amelia knew that Ryden was stronger than most anyone she knew, but that also didn't mean he couldn't get hurt from this stupid elevator and that was the last thing she wanted for him.

[eilonwyj]

the hand eilonwy had stuck in came back out covered in beers which moved around, up to her shoulders then back down to join the rest that hung heavily on the walls. the woman returned soon with what had been asked, a mixing bowl filled with water and dissolved sugar. the fae stuck a finger in, tasting it itself to check there was a good enough mixture for them. "oh, about the bugs or just - these specific ones?" she questioned, though she would be answering both anyways.

once the bowl was down, eilonwy went over to the small window, opening it up and then going back to the bunch. "well, these ones talk to me. bees are quite happy to leave, as long as somewhere better is offered," the fae explained, taking one of the furred insects and placing it near the drink. "and, in general, bugs are my...well, i find them interesting. misunderstood," once one bee had stuck out its unusually long tongue to drink, two more joined in. "you're very lucky they hadn't started constructing a hive yet,"

[amelialaroche]

Amelia tried not to cringe when she saw the bees covering Eilonwy's arm, there was no way in hell she could do that. "I mean in general but I'll take specific ones." In truth Amelia just liked learning about things, wether it's other people or topics in general she thought it was all interesting.

"Like talk talk? That's kind of cool, did you get that from Greywood?" Amelia asked knowing that it was possible to get powers once coming into the town, hell it even happened to her. She always wondered if there was a correlation to the powers someone got and their past or personality. She nodded in understanding at the explanation. "I get that. I don't hate them, I always feel that bugs and I had a good understanding where if they don't bother me I don't bother them. Which is why I called you instead of an exterminator." Amelia sighed in relief hearing that it could have been worse. "That's good! I figured it's a lot harder once that happens."

Theo nodded his head, he didn't think things could go more south. In his mind, they would only wait a few minutes hopefully and then they would be out. Maybe it would take longer, but they would be fine.

''It's okay! You seemed pretty...distracted. I wouldn't take it personally.'' They didn't know each other that well anyways. Theo spent more time with Ryden than with Amelia. Plus, he had been gone for the past months. He couldn't blame her.

''Can I help in any way? Maybe talking about it or talking about anything else could help?'' He figured they would be spending some time trapped together in this elevator. They could at least use this time to get to know each other.

"Thank you, I'll have to make it up to you somehow." Amelia said relieved that she wasn't too terribly rude. She always tried to hang out with the pack as much as possible but being a single mom always made a little bit difficult than most.

"I mean if you want to hear about fucked up life in foster care then by all means I'll tell it but we can definitely talk about anything." She joked. Amelia never shied away from telling about her past but it wasn't always what she started out with. "Honestly if you want to do with how you're doing I'm fine with that distraction."
