“Are you believer in balance and karma? Surely after everything you’ve endured, there’s another life out there that’ll be much more peaceful for you,” she spoke from the heart, but was also well aware such a remark wasn’t exactly the most helpful. Trinity found comfort in those sorts of things although she also wasn’t oblivious to the fact that not everyone felt the same. “Life coach, hmm? I figure I kind of do that already. Maybe I should start charging,” Trin joked lightly after his suggestion.

"I’d like to think so, yeah. That sounds much better than believing there’s nothing waiting for you after your current life ends,” he shrugged. “I think I’d like to be a house cat in my next life, taking naps all day sounds absolutely amazing,” he added with a cheeky grin. “Well, am I available for a discount if you decide to start charging?”

“He is not a very crabby little guy. If he would be any crab themed name, it would be snippy but he likes Patrick. He is definitely a Patrick,” Ciara replied, “I won’t judge other’s for their name choices as long as they don’t judge mine.”

"Fine, fine, I give up,” he raised his hands in defeat, a smile still easily visible on his lips. “So not once in your life you wanted to share your opinion after hearing an outrageously ridiculous pet name?” Ha raise an eyebrow in challenge.

ciaraxgarciax​:

“You cannot call a fire crab, Crabby. That’s not very nice,” Ciara replied, “That would be like calling you Human-y or Wizard-y,” she pointed out, “He is very much a Patrick, that’s why I gave him the name.”

"For all I know he may be crabby so it could suit him perfectly,” he kept teasing. “But alright, I give up, have it your way. Let’s hope you never meet anyone with a pet hedgehog called Hedgie, I’d pity them if you gave them a lecture.”

Diana: I want to poke my eyes out now

Diana: No one, I don't have any cookies

Cassius: That'd be a shame, they're way too pretty

Cassius: Should I get you a few boxes then...?

“That’s a shame. I just hope you don’t let it eat you from the inside out too much. You deserve clarity and peace of mind,” Trinity replied with compassion. When the man asked her if she was an author of self-help books she laughed again, “No, I’m not. Although I realize why I might sound that way,” she said. “I’m a professor by profession. I’m also just a very spiritual person who wants to help others however possible,” the brunette elaborated further.

"Maybe I’ll have some in another life. I suppose I should since I’ve already dealt with enough stuff for a few lifetimes,” Cassius chuckled. He rarely complained about the difficulties in his life as he was aware others had it way worse. Besides, it wasn’t always that bad and he knew who to count on to make it better. “Oh, I see. Well, if you ever decide to change your profession, a life coach could be a perfect fit.”

The brunette laughed sheepishly at that. “Not you– no. Just your approach,” she clarified for him, not wanting him to think she meant to offend him in any way. She just had an unfortunate bluntness to her responses that was often misinterpreted. “You seem to have a lot on your mind. It’s better to break things up into more digestible pieces, take it one step at a time instead of wanting to figure everything out at once, you know?”

Cassius sighed after hearing the other’s explanation. He didn’t remember when was the last time he didn’t have a lot on his mind. “It’s a sound advice, not one I can afford to use though,” he replied with a shrug. He didn’t have the time to analyse every little thing separately so he had to work with what he had. “Are you one of those self-help books author?” He asked, genuinely curious.

“It’s giving–” Trinity made various gestures with her hands as she let the final syllable drag, looking up to the sky as she seemed to be searching for the descriptor that was most suitable in this situation, “–kind of desperate honestly. And I don’t mean to be rude when I say that but it’s not doing you any favors. Have you tried maybe approaching the situation differently?”

“Are you calling me desperate?” Cassius asked slowly, a bit unsure if he heard the other right. He didn’t really know where that conversation was coming from, especially since he thought he was minding his own business and sulking in silence.

Diana: Ew, just ew

Diana: Don't be gross Cass

Diana: I have and I'm definitely not as funny looking as you are

Cassius: I am simply offering since you seem so interested

Cassius: You're being particularly mean today

Cassius: Who ate your cookies

“What exactly should I have named it? Spot?” Ciara asked, raising an eyebrow at the other, “There’s nothing wrong with Patrick, he’s great and the name suits him really well.”

"I don’t know, maybe something like Ash or Crabby,” Cassius replied, shrugging. Picking names was not something he often did and obviously he didn’t seem to be any good at it. “Just thought he would be named something less ordinary, but what do I know.”

matecriveracgden​:

Mateo had gone for a jog for a number of reasons. It helped him clear his head for one and of course it was a great way for him to keep himself fit in between proper workouts, not that he needed to be in top shape if he was just coaching but he liked to be nonetheless. “I think I’m going to call it a day,” he said as he came to a stop, catching his breath as he came up to a food truck that was selling popsicles and beverages because of the warmer weather. “I think I’ll just have a water.”

Ice cream break was something that needed to be introduced during warmer days. Cassius had a job to take care of in the city, but since it wasn’t anything urgent, he allowed himself to have a couple minutes to relax and enjoy something cold. “Their lemon popsicles are amazing in case you’re in need of something colder,” he commented when he heard the other.

ciaraxgarciax​:

“Oh god, no, I’m fine,” Ciara said, glancing down at the bandage on her hand, “This is from work, not the Spring Festival. It’s from Patrick. He’s the fire crab I’m working with. He was only playing but they have a nasty snip sometimes. It’s no biggy.”

"Out of all the names out there, why would anyone name him Patrick?” Cassius asked, a bit surprised that a fire crab didn’t have a more ridiculous name. It wasn’t exactly an interesting topic of conversation, but he figured something light was much better than the recent topics people were focusing on.

Diana: For a moment there I was afraid you'd send me a dick pic

Diana: I'm glad I was wrong

Diana: And I'm glad you're okay, even though your nose looks funny

Cassius: If you want one, all you need to do is ask

Cassius: Excuse you

Cassius: What is wrong with my nose?

Cassius: Have you looked in the mirror recently?

Diana: Please send me a photo proving you're in one piece or else I won't ever fall asleep and you don't want that on your conscience

Cassius: You're so demanding Mrs Rosier

Cassius: [photo attached]

Cassius: Happy now?

"I mean… I guess it really depends what colour you’re going for..,” Cassius replied awkwardly when asked about which flowers were the best choice. He knew practically nothing about them, apart from a few that were useful in healing so asking him from his help was rather pointless. His mother and cousins rarely received flowers from him as he usually picked more practical gifts that would last longer than a few days.

“I guess you don’t necessarily have to be the one to come up with it but it’d be nice if you did,” Jesse grumbled back at the other’s quick response. “Have you never been in a bind where you’ve been too desperate to get out of to think of a proper way out? I’ve never been the best at thinking on my feet anyways.”

Cassius listened to the other’s reasoning, somewhat understanding what he meant. While he couldn’t exactly relate, he supposed his one good deed a day could just happen now. “Can’t say I’ve had a similar problem, or at least I somehow always found my way out,” he replied, shrugging. “Have they been following you for long?”

🍺 - our muses share a pint together

“Oh dear Merlin… That’s terrible.” Lucie couldn’t help but wrinkle her nose at the drinks they had ordered, fighting not to start coughing at the taste. “If you like that, you either have lost all your tastebuds or you had terrible taste to begin with.” The blonde couldn’t help but comment, shaking her head. “Please, if you don’t mind that I’ve taken a sip, you can finish off mine too.” She offered, pushing the glass forward.

@cassiuscresswell​

"So I’m the one who now has to lose all my tastebuds, huh?” Cassius chuckled, taking the glass. He sniffed its contents before taking a sip and then made a face. “I’m not sure if it’s suppose to taste like this if I’m honest. Did you really get that at the bar?”

❓ - our muses take part in a pub quiz ( @cassiuscresswell​ )

“I don’t think I pegged you for a pub quiz guy, Cresswell,” Callista said with a teasing smile, “Does this have a particular theme or is it well-rounded general knowledge one?”

"I like trying new things,” Cassius grinned, shrugging at the others comment. “I’d like to say I know a little bit about everything and I hope it should be enough, but it does sound like this one may have a theme. Can’t say I’ve heard what it is though.”
