for all the things my hands have held the best by far is you

If I could fly then I would know what life looks like from up above and down below I'd keep you safe I'd keep you dry Don't be afraid, Cecilia I'm the satellite and you're the sky

                    ANNIE  ISN’T  IN  the  best  of  spirits,  to  the  say  the  least.  she  doesn’t  think  she  has  ever  felt  so  low  in  her  life,  and  the  constant  visions  and  dreams  are  starting  to  get  to  her  more  than  ever,  especially  now  that  she’s  remembered  things.  she  knows  her  name,  knows  that  she  has  known  her  friends  for  far  longer  than  she  originally  thought,  knows  that  she’s  had  a  whole  other  life.  she  doesn’t  have  all  the  pieces  yet,  but  she  thinks  it’s  only  a  matter  of  time  before  she  does.

                    going  to  seth’s  is  a  risk.  the  others  could  show  up  at  any  time,  ingrid  or  felix  especially,  but  speaking  to  seth  tends  to  help  her  out,  and  so  she  is  willing  to  risk  it.  that  is,  until  she  sees  him  and  her  mind  goes  blank,  a  familiar  feeling  by  this  point.  she  sees  seth  (  no,  seteth,  his  name  is  seteth  )  standing  in  some  sort  of  office  before  she  forces  herself  to  snap  out  of  it.  now  isn’t  the  time  for  that.  she’s  sure  she’ll  see  it  later.

                    when  he  looks  up,  she  gives  him  a  sad  smile.  she’s  sure  she  looks  just  as  bad  as  he  does.  ❝  it’s  alright,  ❞  she  says,  already  brushing  her  own  issues  aside.  ❝  i  should  be  asking  you  that.  ❞

Seth’s heart breaks when he sees annie’s sad smile, but it completely shatters when she tells him she tell him that she should be the one asking him if he needs anything and all at once it is like a levee breaks for him as a tears begin to spill from his eyes. Though he’s quick to hide his face behind his hands, not wanting her to have to see him cry. He didn’t think it was fair to try and ask someone so young to bear the burden of his feeling, especially not when she was so obviously hurting herself. “Don’t say that,” Seth’s response is curt but there wasn’t any anger or annoyance in his voice, just sorrow. 

[bcdytemple]

It was clear to everyone who knew him that Seth was hardly his usual self since the new year started. How could he be after that terrible nightmare he had, or with all of the questions circling in his head about what he had seen in it. He could make enough sense of why he might have seen his sister as his daughter he’d raised her for most of her life. The battlefield and the deceased wife who he had never seen before in his life and how real it had all felt, more like a memory than a dream, that was what he had struggled to wrap his head around since. That was the reason he hadn’t slept in almost two days now. It was what had him sitting here with his head in his hands when he heard footsteps approaching, though even then he didn’t look up at first almost too exhausted to even move his head. When he finally did look up he tried to offer the person in front of him a friendly smile, but he had no illusion that they wouldn’t see how half hearted it was. “Hello,” he said softly, his voice hoarse, “can I help you with something.”

                    PORTIA  CAN’T  HELP  but  laugh  at  the  thought  of  the  packed  store.  she  finds  it  amazing  how  something  as  simple  as  school  letting  out  can  cause  a  ruckus  in  the  store.  ❝  i  hope  we  don’t  have  anyone  fighting  over  keychains  again,  ❞  she  says,  laugh  subsiding  into  a  frown  as  she  remembers  the  incident.  ❝  i  don’t  understand  what  was  so  special  about  them,  anyway.  it  looked  like  they’re  from  a  show  i  don’t  watch.  ❞  but  even  if  she  did,  she  would  never  fight  someone  for  something  so  simple.  ❝  do  you  want  me  to  help  when  people  start  coming  in  ??  ❞

Seth offers a soft chuckle when she brings up that incident. “It happens, one time we a brother an sister who were both couldn’t have been older than eight. They got in a fight over a doll and ended up ripping the poor thing right and half. The kids started crying and then the parents started screaming the whole things was just a mess. I felt so bad for the kids by the end that i bought two more just to give to them the next time they came in,” Seth allowed himself to ramble for a moment. “Maybe I should ask around, see if they’re even worth the hassle of keeping them in stock,” he said of the keychains. Perhaps it was a bad habit, but Seth new enough younger people that he tended to stock mostly what those he was close to liked. It worked out well enough for him, even if it did lead to some oddities like the swords that stayed locked up on the back wall. “I appreciate the offer, Portia, but I think I’ll be fine.”

          ❝ Brother…  I thought I told you time              and time again not to meddle with              any of my affairs. ❞

          She says this, but really, she shouldn’t be surprised. It seems that no matter how many centuries that pass, no matter what era or world they end up in next, one thing remains constant: her father will never get rid of his overprotective streak. If it wasn’t such a headache she’d even call it nostalgic - she’s sure they’ve had multiple conversations that went along exactly like this. 

          That doesn’t make it any less annoying. 

          ❝ I understand the rumors surrounding              the man are concerning,  but please,              I  think I am mature enough  to  form              my own judgment without you trying              to interfere. ❞

[bcdytemple]

Seth grimaced slightly as Cethleann rightfully reprimanded him. “I hadn’t meant to interfere,” he replied honestly. There was no point trying to deny what had happened. Even if he had wanted to lie to her she surely would have seen right through him. “He came into the store and I had seen you two and... his reputation does precede him,” he sheepishly explained. He knew full well that Cethleann was an adult and was more than capable of protecting herself but he couldn’t help worrying regardless. It wasn’t fair to impose it upon her but he nonetheless could not avoid an ever present fear that something terrible was only ever a moment away from causing him to lose her, and while he tried with all his might to keep a lid on his more over protective qualities inevitably he would occasionally slip. “I’m sorry, Cethleann.”

gotcha @bcdytemple !

          he  walks  in  the  store   with furrowed brows . he had been texting him for ages about the weekend after next — there was convention that apollo had been invited to and , while it normally wasn’t his forte , he decided that he would go to be a good friend . the hq was where he worked and because he had not been answering his messages , he decides to stop in since he was nearby anyway . the place reeks of … well … GEEK and apollo feels oddly drawn in yet pushed awfully far away . still he finds his eyes browsing because he can’t help but look . as his eyes wander the shelves , he spots a familiar face in seth — someone he has seen around — and approaches him with a smile . ❝ seth ! i didn’t know you shopped here . ❞ he then pauses to think before asking , ❝ hey , actually , do you know the owen that works here ?  i need to ask him something and i was in the area . ❞

[bcdytemple]

Seth laughs softly at Apollo’s questioning if he shops here. “Well I don’t really shop here,” he explains somewhat awkwardly as he rubs the back of his head, “I actually own this place.” Seth looks around him; honestly wondering if he even looks like the sort of person who would shop here, though he supposed the green hair probably helped. Even if it was natural. “So yeah, I do know Owen actually, but he’s not due in until later, sorry.”

&&  — “ I FEEL LIKE I’M FALLING ASLEEP JUST SITTING HERE. ” for the past half hour , it’s true , link had been drifting off , though they didn’t know why. it wasn’t like them to find themselves that exhausted , though it seemed as if their recent pattern of staying up all night was really taking a toll on them. they’ve been noticeably nodding off , too , head resting in their hands as they stifle back another yawn. “ i wonder if i could like, parkour and nap. ” there’s a pause , a clearly terrible idea forming in their head. “ wait , imagine it. i create a new trend , it’s called napping in terrible spots. the first spot ?? on top of the roof of a car. i can just go outside and lay on someone’s car with a blanket and fall the fuck to sleep. does that sound brilliant , or does that sound brilliant ?? ”

[bcdytemple]

Seth’s eyes go wide with fear as he hears the much younger adult speak. He’s indisputably doing the math in his head about just how dangerous it would be if Link attempted to actually do what they were considering. “I don’t know that parkour is something you should attempt while tired,” he says with a certain level of delicacy considering that he barely knows the person he’s speaking to. “You can lay on my car if you’d like though,” he offers. He wasn’t so far from home that it would be too much of a burden to walk from here, especially not if it meant ensuring the other’s safety.

fingers  tap  in  memorized  rhythm  to  a  troubvdours’  song  as  he  watches  lingering  customers  weave  between  racks  and  displays  .  “  hey  ,  are  we  getting  any  more  hair  products  in  soon  ?  ”  the  question  hangs  in  the  air  while  it  mixes  into  the  background  music  as  his  eyes  find  his  boss  .  “  i  …  i’m  kinda  low  on  bleach  and  my  roots  are  starting  to  come  in  ,  so  …  ”  myde  chuckles  and  shrugs  like  it’s  not  that  big  of  a  deal  .  because  really  ,  it  isn’t  .  he  merely  wants  to  buy  from  the  hq  and  support  …  well  ,  it’s  no  secret  seth  likes  to  adopt  them  (  given  his  old  boss  ,  that  was  practically  whiplash  )  ;  myde  figures  there’s  no  better  place  to  get  his  stuff  .  but  with  a  fast  shake  of  his  head  ,  he  adds  ,  “  i  mean  !  it’s  cool  if  we’re  not  .  i  can  just  buy  some  online  or  whatever  .  ”

“Your roots are coming in?” Seth inquires as he looks over to Myde. Admittedly Seth hadn’t noticed it himself, but he was old and his eyes probably didn’t work as well as they used to. On the other hand Myde was young and something of a rockstar, and also most of the reason why Seth even stocked hair products in the first place. “Yeah, sorry about that. There was some kind of shipping delay. ‘Tis the season for that I guess. It should be here tomorrow or the next day last I checked.”

                    PORTIA  SPENDS  QUITE  a  bit  of  time  after  class  at  the  hq,  if  only  because  she  doesn’t  feel  the  need  to  go  anywhere  else.  there  isn’t  anything  for  her  back  at  her  dorm  other  than  her  textbooks  and  assignments,  and  any  friendly  acquaintances  she  has  at  university  are  usually  busy  doing  other  things,  but  at  least  this  way  she  gets  to  see  her  pseudo-family  and  spend  time  with  them.  it’s  why  she  walks  into  the  store  with  a  bright  smile  on  her  face  and  a  spring  in  her  step.

                    ❝  hi,  seth  !!  ❞  she  says,  moving  to  put  her  things  in  the  back  room,  almost  as  if  she  works  there.  she  does  try  to  help  from  time  to  time.  ❝  has  it  been  busy  ??  ❞

[bcdytemple]

Seth is manning the store alone when Portia’s walks in, luckily it’s a down moment anyway, with the store free of customers and Seth leaning against the back of the front counter reading a book which he promptly sets down to greet her. “Hey, Portia,” he calls back to her as she goes to set her things down. “It hasn’t been too bad today, but the high schoolers are still in school, so give it an hour and I’m sure we’ll be swamped. How have your classes been going?”
