Is there a doctor in the house? || Kate & Eva|| September 29th, daytime

[katedorning]

Kate took a deep breath and gave the Elf a smile; they were both stuttering like idiots and apologizing to each other, it made her chuckle and shake her head at herself. “Yes, it is nice to meet you.” Kate never would have thought that someone else could be equally awkward around people, especially not someone who owned a shop and needed to talk to people quite a lot. She wondered why the Elf only had heard about the natural condoms but just assumed that someone like her would have a partner and an actual wish for children, which of course would mean that she had no reason to use them. She nodded at the statement. “Uhm yes, my … friend said something similar, that the lamb skin feels better? I guess I will have to try to find out for myself,” she said blushing lightly. “And yes, I’m aware that there’s no 100% guarantee.” She was glad when the subject changed to the headaches, it was something she felt a lot more comfortable talking about. “They’re usually worse when I didn’t get enough sleep and become worse during the day, the more I have to block others the worse is gets. Also when I’ve had especially bad dreams or have exhausted myself with my magic,” she answered. “Uhm … sex actually helps,” she added quietly. “Probably because it helps me relax.” 

[eva-flynn]

Eva wished that she could say or do something to reassure the girl, or diffuse the awkward tension regarding sex, but she knew that she had absolutely no ability to do so, and it seemed that she was even more uncomfortable about sex than the inexperienced Witch. “Well I can get those for you after the other things and you can take a look at the options,” she smiled trying to act as if this was a perfectly normally conversation. To anyone else, it probably was, but sex was never a comfortable subject for the Elf. She listened patiently to the other; a list of possible remedies and options flitting through her mind until Kate admitted that sex was one of her coping mechanisms. If she had been drinking something, she would have surely choked on it at the girl’s confession. She swallowed and quickly gathered her composure, knowing that she needed to somehow find a way to get her head on straight in order to help Kate. The Healer in her finally kicked in and took over. “Well, whatever works for you dear, it’s important that you care for yourself however you can. Now I’m hearing a couple of different issues that we can address. There are quite a few things that help with sleep and even a few that help with dreamless sleep; if that’s something you’re interested in. You have options to help you fall asleep and those that will help you stay asleep. There are also things that can help with concentration and focus which might help to block others out.”

Music of the Night – Maha & Eva- November 2nd, evening

Since she had come back from her impromptu trip with Robyn Maha had pretty much worked every night to make up for the days she had missed. Of course she had informed Ray as soon as possible and he had been okay with her missing a few days, especially since it was to keep an eye on Robyn. Still Maha felt the need to make up for it, especially since Ray had been so cool about it. Tonight was her first night off though since it was a pretty slow night. Her relationship with Robyn was still not back to normal, but they were getting there. She had send Robyn a text where she was going in case she wanted to join her but was fully prepared to spend the night alone; or at least start it alone. She needed a drink and some dancing to let some steam off. She didn’t want to go anywhere where she usually worked and thus she ended up at Solly’s to start the night with a few drinks. Sitting down at the bar she ordered a beer and a tequila before turning to her right from where she felt someone watching her. “What?” she asked. “Never seen a woman before?” 

[eva-flynn]

It had been a long weekend. One that she had been hoping to enjoy and in some ways she had, but not in the way she had expected. The grand ball turned into a horror show and all she wanted to do was dress up and dance with Paul in the Queen’s mansion. He took her home and stayed with her, the first time she’d ever asked him to do so, and it was for the very last reason she had ever wanted it to be. When the nightmares came, he was there, but they both had work the next day and as usual, their time together was spoiled with the reality of the lives they lived. By Sunday night she exhausted. The store had been flooded with people needing supplies for spells or cures for magical mishaps. As soon as she was able, she left the store and went to Solly’s hoping to see Paul or Lu, although she wondered if Paul had chosen a new place to drink after everything with Lu. Taking a seat at the bar, she didn’t see either man. Her eyes did however fall on someone rather unexpected and she hadn’t noticed she was staring until the woman addressed her. “Oh, I’m sorry…I just…um…how’s your shoulder?” She asked forcing a smile. The Elf was still uncomfortable engaging with the Hunter despite the assurances of others, but she had no choice now.

Finally Checking In ❧ Eva & Lu (Friday Night Aug. 29th)

[ludolf-gott-rp-blog-blog]

Respectfully he listened as she said her peace and nodded. The thought was only to plant a seed, but it became apparent there was no fertile ground. It bewildered and worried him a bit. If Eva the most kind hearted Elf he knew couldn’t find forgiveness for Rana’s transgressions against the community then who would?  When she made the statement he wasn’t the only reason to keep her wall against Rana up he leaned into the bar. Eva then hinted at something he had always been keenly aware of; there was something dark from her past that she kept truly hidden. Given the circumstance surrounding his own secret he didn’t judge, and always accepted never wanting to press her on the matter. Whatever it was it seemed to have left an indelible mark effecting her general interactions with most fae. She carried herself with an air of cageyness, and while he was curious as hell, he would never ask her out right what caused the at times hyper-state. If she felt comfortable enough she would tell him, and because of that he left the comment alone. Admittedly part of him didn’t even want to know. He’d rather live under the allusion that Eva’s life was filled with love and kindness. Concentrating as she continued to speak he gave her haphazard grin. “It’s not going to come between us: I won’t let it. For the record I don’t think there is a cruel bone in your body. I’m sorry for bringing it up.”

In the blink of an eye the tide had already turned at the mention of Elven warrior Mr. Paul Landon. Perhaps Lu should‘ve contained his excitement over the Elves union because he caught his cautious friend flinch. Nonetheless she happily participated in the toast with a slight pink hue which spread across her luminous features. He quickly poured himself another shot and took it down quickly seeing as the occasion called for celebratory seconds.

“I can’t exactly take credit for something destined and started centuries ago, and don’t mention debt that’s just nonsense,” He let out a boisterous laugh before he continued. “We just happened to fall into a conversation about you. I just mentioned what you already know is true, in that I think you deserve to have all the happiness this world can offer. Naturally he was in agreement.” He stopped and with a playful grin he added, “I don’t think I’m telling you anything you don’t already know; however the conversation took a suggestive turn.” Stepping into the bar he leaned in and rested his elbows on surface taking several inches of height from his stature. “I purposefully gave him the impression that if he didn’t want to be the one to swoop in and carry you away from work then I would. I pretty sure the threat of another suitor was all it took. We men folk can be territorial. You might have to do some spin control because I’ve a feeling I’m not his favorite person right now.” Back to his full height he stood and extended his arms adding a boyish smirk he asked. “He has to at least forgive me by the nuptials, after all I’m going to be part of the wedding party,” he raised an eyebrow for added playfulness.

While he would do it again in heartbeat he hoped she wasn’t upset with his meddling. Wondering if he should apologize he looked at the bar top before meeting her sapphire eyes as he asked. “I didn’t over step did I? I just really wanted to see you like this: radiating and in love.”           

[eva-flynn]

“Well I’m glad you think that,” she smiled, a hint of laughter in her voice. Lu and the rest of the world seemed to think so highly of her, but none of them really knew her. “And that’s good to hear, but for you, I will promise to at least try. I understand.” She hoped that if she couldn’t be the kind, understanding person that Lu expected of her, he wouldn’t be disappointed. His friendship meant so much to her. His assurance that it wouldn’t come between them did calm her nerves a bit.

She giggled slightly as the enthusiastic Wolf took a second drink. His attitude was infectious and she felt herself being drawn in as he explained what had occurred between him and Paul. However, as he continued, her face fell. It was now completely clear why Paul had shown aggravation and even aggression whenever she mentioned Lu. She was grateful that the Shifter was willing to do that for her, for them, but she feared the consequences of his actions. The last thing she would ever want was for the two men that meant the most to her in the world to quarrel. Not just men, people. She loved Lu and Paul more than anyone else in her life, her dearest friend and her true love. She also found herself wondering if there was any part of Lu that was interested in her in the way he suggested. She’d never thought of their relationship like that, but then again it seemed that when it came to love, she was quite clueless. 

“Oh…well…that makes a lot of sense…” Her face once more took on a different color, this time a much deeper pink. She was truly grateful when Lu pulled away as she suddenly felt uncomfortable being so close to him, something that had never been a problem in the past. “Yes…he…I think…He seemed rather flustered that I’d spent time with you, which was strange, because that’s never happened before, so now…yes…” How was she supposed to convince Paul that Lu meant nothing by it? Could she even be sure that he didn’t? It’s not as if she could ask and she didn’t want to have to justify their friendship with Paul. This was all so much more complicated than she had originally suspected. She knew from the start that Lu had something to do with Paul’s behavior, but she didn’t know that she agreed with her friend’s tactics. Yes, he brought the two of them together, but she wasn’t sure that the damage control Lu suggested would be that easy. 

She looked everywhere but his eyes until she realized he mentioned a wedding and then they opened wide and her mouth fell open. “Well…yes, I mean…of course…I…” Eva had always dreamed of marrying Paul, but the thought of discussing it now, and so openly, was inconceivable. She had never allowed herself to imagine the details, the guests, the wedding party. In fact, she had begun to accept the fact that it would probably never happen. Even when they were together that day she was terrified to tell Paul how she felt.

Lu started apologizing and she didn’t really know what to say. There had been thoughts she failed to express, but now she was clueless. “I…I really don’t know…thank you, but…I…I don’t know Lu…” In truth, yes. If she had known this was his master plan, she would never have approved. Then again, if Lu hadn’t taken the initiative, and crossed the line neither of them wanted to, Paul and she could have danced around each other for years. How could she be upset with him when he only wanted her to be happy?

[angelicanations]

I think that the most difficult thing is allowing yourself to be loved, so receiving the love and feeling like you deserve it is a pretty big struggle. I suppose that’s what I’ve learned recently, to allow myself to be loved.

Is there a doctor in the house? || Kate & Eva|| September 29th, daytime

[katedorning]

“No, no,” Kate answered defensively. “I know you were busy. That’s not … I wasn’t … I didn’t mean it like that.” Again Kate blushed, she was so bad at this people stuff and now she felt she had already offended the healer and they had barely started. She was however relieved when the Elf told her she could pay what and when she could; which of course only answered half of her question. She still had no idea how much she would possibly owe this woman when they were done. Pondering the question she eventually shook her head lightly. “Actually I would rather start with the headaches,” she said quietly. If necessary she could use condoms for a while longer; she didn’t really like them but she’d rather get rid of the headaches in case this would end into an either or situation. Although she only had sex occasionally but the headaches were almost omnipresent by now. “For me that’s the more pressing matter, in order to train I need to be able to concentrate, and those headaches really make that hard.” Of course her track record with actually using condoms wasn’t stellar but that was something the healer didn’t need to know and she tried to seem sure of herself even though she really wasn’t. 

[eva-flynn]

“No, I’m sorry…that’s not what I meant…It’s very nice to meet you Kate,” the Elf smiled broadly trying to make up for their awkward exchange. Eva felt as though she had a habit of always turning what should be easy conversations into something complicated. She certainly hadn’t intended to make the young Witch feel bad. Eva was surprised when she wanted to start with the headaches, but if they had become debilitating, of course those would be the priority. “Of course, that makes perfect sense. Just know that while it’s less likely, pregnancy is still possible, which I’m sure you’re aware of, but I have to say it regardless.” The Healer never liked having to say those uncomfortable necessary statements, but she also knew she wouldn’t be doing her job if she didn’t. “I have some natural condoms here actually. The lamb ones and even some vegan plant based ones, if you want. I’ve heard they feel more natural too,” the last time Eva had sex the products she was selling didn’t exist, so she could only go with what she had been told by her customers. “As far as the headaches, is it a constant thing, or something that comes on when you’re working, or is it more random? Have you noticed any patterns?”

Anxious Arrangement ❧ Eva & Edmund (Night of Aug 20th)

[edmundnecromancer]

“It makes sense that most fae would be consumed given the circumstances, and the attention Henrik’s attack brought onto the community.” Ed paused and feigned a rather confused look on his face. He gently tapped his chin with his index finger as he asked. “Now that I recall I don’t remember seeing you at the hearing, but perhaps my eyes had deceived me.” He raised his eyebrows in case his comment didn’t lend itself enough that he expected an answer. When she rather quickly discounted his advanced of assistance his face soured a little bit. It disappointed him that she didn’t choose to take advantage of his generosity.  He rather liked the idea of her being indebted to him. There would be something very satisfying about her coming to him with needs. “ Eva I wish to only help your enterprise. Your shop is an important pillar within the community, and I would like to make sure it stays that way. Surely there is something that a man of my talent and worth could help obtain for you? Name it and I promise it will be done.” Edmund leaned into the bar pressing his elbows into the mahogany only inches away from the soft spoken elven, and offered her a prized smile. “Come now Eva don’t be shy?”

[eva-flynn]

“Yes,” she replied simply and nodded. When he mentioned the trial, she was sure her face dropped. She hadn’t been there and she didn’t regret that choice for an instant. Even without Edmund’s questioning look, she knew he expected a response. “No, I wasn’t there. I had to be at the shop,” the Elf answered matter of factly knowing if she just said no he would ask why. Of course if she had really wanted to attend, she could have made arrangements, Tara decided to stay back as well, but she had never given it a thought. She didn’t want or need to be there. She would hear about what had happened regardless and she was well aware that Henrik wasn’t going to make it out alive. His disappointment was clear and she hoped that she hadn’t made a larger mistake by turning him down. Eva listened to Edmund once more attempt to convince her that she should accept his help, trying to keep her face neutral. “I do greatly appreciate your generosity Mr. Jernigan…but the shop is fine, really…” She wondered if her continued denial of his services would be a worse decision than actually accepting them, but she just couldn’t bring herself to say yes. She wanted nothing to do with the Witch as much as possible. Thankfully, just then Lorrie finally walked into the bar and Eva was able to escape knowing Edmund would of course understand. “Forgive me, but my friend has finally arrived. Thank you for your hospitality,” with that she nodded and headed over to meet Lorrie, sliding them both into a booth away from Edmund.

A New Chapter ❧ Eva & Victoria (Saturday Night Aug. 30)

[victoria-f-arouet]

Victoria just smiled gently at the Elf; she was 99 % certain Eva would never ask her for advice even though she might want to. “I’m sorry. That was a little forward of me. You are such a private person, I just forget sometimes that not everyone is open about those things. Forgive me. But the offer stands of course. It would be handled privately of course, no one would ever know. Just know you can come and talk to me anytime.”

She became a bit somber at Eva’s question but hurried to put a smile back on her face. “Oh darling, I’m the one who does the snatching,” she answered playfully. “And I’ve had a few relationships in my life already. I was even married once, did I never tell you? It’s not easy if you survive everyone and yes my position doesn’t make it any easier. I mean, no one would accept anyone other than another born vampire as my partner right? And believe me; most of those are pretentious, snobbish dicks. So, I guess things are good the way they are right now. I don’t necessary need a ‘husband’, but … kids would be nice.” She gave Eva a light, sad smile. The Elf was one of the few people who knew about her failed attempts to give birth after all.

Her face lit back up again when Eva admitted that she needed someone to talk to. “Well darling of course you need another girl you can talk to. There’s just things you can’t discuss with men, not even when they’re close friends; least of all when they’re close friends,” she said chuckling. “Your trust honors me and I will try to live up to it but I will never be as honorable and pure as you are. I am a vampire after all, a lot of people consider us monster, a disease.”

She emptied her glass and stood. “I’m sorry Eva, but I fear I will have to leave for now. Please stay as long as you want, everything’s on the house. Just relax for a little while, enjoy the music, you’re my guest.” 

[eva-flynn]

She didn’t want to make Victoria feel bad or make things awkward between them. She knew her friend didn’t mean any harm, she just wasn’t used to being so open about sex like the rest of the world. “It’s, it’s okay…I know.” Eva doubted she would ever be comfortable with sex, even with Paul. She hoped that weren’t the case, that some day she’d get over it, but she didn’t have faith she’d ever know real peace. It’s not as if she couldn’t enjoy herself at all, but there was always an unease in the back of her mind that wouldn’t leave her be.

While Victoria did a decent job of hiding her emotions, Eva caught the drop in her mood. “No I didn’t,” she smiled softly. She couldn’t imagine out living her love, having to move on, and being expected to love again. The Elf knew that the Vampire didn’t get the option of having the personal life everyone did and it broke her heart. Victoria was a good woman, despite their differences and she, like everyone, deserved love. “You’ll be a wonderful mother and I’m sure that some day you’ll find someone,” Eva reassured her friend. She knew of Victoria’s struggles and how painful each time had been for her, but she had to believe that one day Victoria could know that happiness. Now that she had Paul, she had faith that she too would know the joy of a child at some point.

Eva could tell the other woman was happy for the change in subject, and in a way she was too. Although, it was still a foreign concept, having someone to talk to that she could trust. She also hated that there were things she couldn’t talk to Paul about. She had promised him she would be completely open with him, but how was she supposed to tell him doubts, and concerns, and problems she had with him? The Elf also appreciated that that Victoria knew what it meant for her to trust another, and it was part of the reason she knew it was safe to confide in the Vampire. “Well I don’t agree with that, Humans are more monsters than any Fae I’ve ever met.” She didn’t like the term monster, it was so loaded, but it was how she felt about Humans in many ways. “It means a lot to me that I can rely on you, and I know that I can. I hope you know the same applies to you. I’m always here for you.”

She was disappointed when Victoria stood to leave, but she knew it was inevitable. “No, no, it’s alright. I understand. Of course,” she got up and hugged her friend and returned to her seat pondering their conversation.

A Night Alone ❧ Eva & Paul (Sept 27. Saturday Evening)

[elven-vet-paul]

Paul was pleased with her response to his administrations, and smiled into their kiss. Jolts of electricity shot down his spine as her tongue melded with his, and he pulled her in tighter in response to her needs. The way she clung to him and the blindingly fast way that her thoughts were rushing to him both aroused and confused him. She showed him things he wasn’t sure he’d ever wanted to know, but he’d made a promise that she could tell him anything and he would never break a promise to her. He held her as she pulled back slightly, taking a deep breath and trying to steady himself. He let her pull away as much as she’d like, without letting go of her. His lips finally left hers, a moment later reaching back out to give her another small kiss before he finally opened his eyes and looked at her.

Her apologies and remorse, as well as her thanks to him caused him to shake his head. You know I ask nothing of you my love. Only for your heart to be mine from now and until the end of days. He whispered to her mentally. His heart had always been hers, and while he too had been with others, none of them even came close to the passion he felt from just this kiss. He reached up with one hand to gently push her long hair back behind her ear. Her smile was the only thing he’d ever wanted, and seeing it directed at him made his heart soar. Unable to completely contain himself, he leaned forward and placed another kiss on her lips before finally leaning back. 

Smiling like a fool at her, he finally said words aloud, though they were harsh and awkward to his ears, after their powerful mental contact. “Perhaps we should get dinner now? Or would you rather do something else? A movie perhaps? Or even just going back to my loft and watching one of those silly shows on TV?” He grinned at her, the twinkle in his eyes unmistakable. He was playing with her. Of course she wouldn’t want to just cuddle and watch tv. Neither one of them had time for human television, and most of it was strange anyway. But he chuckled nonetheless, and waited for her command.

[eva-flynn]

It wasn’t hard to miss Paul’s desire and it only fueled her own, but there was something else there as well. Not pain, confusion? Hurt? Something she knew was caused by the past memories that rushed through her head. She regretted letting her mind tumble in that direction and realized it probably wasn’t easy for him to see those things. Her regret aside, at least she wasn’t hiding from him. At least she hadn’t shut him out. If she hadn’t broken her promise only moments earlier, that probably would have been her course of action, but she wasn’t going to keep doing that to him. He deserved more than that, especially after being apart from one another for so many years. 

She felt his restraint and want to support her and love her regardless of his own feelings, and in a way it made her feel guiltier, but she was also grateful. Sighing she broke the kiss, but clung to him tighter not truly wanting to leave this moment even though she knew she had to. Eva felt that in a way she had ruined it with her thoughts and complicated emotions, but once again, there was Paul assuring her that was not the case. She welcomed his lips to hers once more, but allowed this exchange to be brief and found his eyes. His words brought her some comfort; for her heart had never truly belonged to anyone else, but she couldn’t help but feel as though he deserved more, better. My heart has never been anyone’s but yours…I just wish I could be everything for you…I know I’m not the ideal, and I always wanted you to have the best. You deserve the best… She still smiled softly back at him as he brushed the hair from her face. The next kiss surprised her and made her wonder how she had found herself in this position. Kissing the only man she’d ever loved and she’d being lying if she said she wasn’t disappointed when he pulled back, but they couldn’t stay like this forever.

Eva practically jumped upon hearing him speak aloud, but he was right, they needed to move on. His playfulness helped to keep her positive and stopped her thoughts from straying once more back to dark places that she wished she could somehow forget. “Oh, um… well as long as I get to be with you I’ll be fine… Although, I think my stomach might have a problem if food isn’t somehow involved. I didn’t get much of a lunch today…” Another thought entered her mind, but there was fear behind expressing it and without realizing it, she switched back to speaking to his mind. I wouldn’t mind being alone with you…I’d actually really like that. I never get you to myself…I just…I don’t want to disappoint you… She couldn’t even complete her thought. The shame at being unable to give him what she knew he wanted was too great. It was the reason she couldn’t express her thoughts out loud in the first place.

Anxious Arrangement ❧ Eva & Edmund (Night of Aug 20th)

[edmundnecromancer]

Apparently after he backed off it seemed to ease Eva’s nerves immensely. The tension seemed to dissipate before his eyes as her body relaxed.  He knew his question about Paul caused her to be defensive and she constructed her protective walls against him. However, mention of something as less personal as the shop made Eva downright talkative. He mastered the art of manipulation long ago, and the sweet Elf was an easy mark.  It was then she said something which actually piqued his interest. “Hmmm…really? Why do think that is Eva? What is blowing off the shelves?”  He stayed put not wanting to intimidate her because he was far too curious and needed to know what everyone was buzzing about.  A quick of tilt of head and rather low key grin took to his lips. “Eva I just want to express your shop is such an important part of our community. I know most fae would be lost without it. It happens to be on my favorite places to shop as well. You seem to keep your shelves well stocked, and I would like to extend my assistance. As you may well know I’ve certain talents, and obtaining rare obscure items is one. If ever you need anything for the shop don’t be afraid to approach me, and if that seems difficult for you can ask any of my staff. I trust them immensely and the will provide any assistance.”  

[eva-flynn]

As she had assumed, her words seemed to spark a new interest in Edmund and she would have given anything to take them back. If only Lorrie would show up so she could finally escape this conversation. “Um…protective things mostly and concealment…” It made sense that people would be worried about staying safe, and using a combination of shielding items along with those that kept one hidden, was really the smartest bet. If the inquiries that spawned from her comment weren’t enough, he began to compliment her and offer his help. Had Edmund been anyone other than who he was, she may have actually considered taking him up on the offer, but the last thing she wanted was to truly be indebted to such a dangerous and unpredictable man. “Oh, well…I appreciate that, very much, but I think we’ll be alright. I don’t have problems with those kinds of things...” She hoped that turning down his assistance wouldn’t seem like a snub. Over the years she had acquired regular dealers for most items and keeping inventory had never really been an issue. For the rarer herbs, she always had Devdan and she generally grew and prepared the rest herself. Blood was the only thing she carried that ever gave her difficulty. It wasn’t always easy to acquire, she always had to worry about it going bad, and no one ever seemed satisfied with what she had in stock. While she was sure Edmund could easily remedy that situation, she certainly wasn’t going to ask him.

Finally Checking In ❧ Eva & Lu (Friday Night Aug. 29th)

[ludolf-gott-rp-blog-blog]

It didn’t go unnoticed that Eva prefaced everything with the word ‘you’ as she spoke about Rana’s return, and her entire view point seemed to hinder on Lu’s connection. It made him uncomfortable to be the focus of such a personal matter. Perhaps he should’ve left well enough alone, but he wanted to help his friend. While Lu thought he kept his emotional connection to Rana unwraps it was obvious that Eva had picked up his true feelings. His first notion was to bury the subject, but when she made her last comment he couldn’t just leave it there. “Eva, I understand your reservations, but it’s hard for me to not defend Rana. I only ask that you consider the notion she may deserve a second chance. I think the circumstances over why she left should be taken into consideration. She spent thirty years running from herself, and not necessarily the elves or our fae community.” He looked down at the bar and measured his next words carefully. His burdened eyes eventually sought out hers upset that she would discredit Rana on his account. “I don’t pretend to know what is going through that wonderful mind of yours, but I just need you to know that you don’t have to worry about me in that regard. I also know despite me saying it you will anyways, however don’t let me be the reason that you can’t accept her. I’m a grown man, and she didn’t do anything to me that I didn’t let her.” It was as close to a confession that he was ever going to come to.  

He knew his words conflicted with Eva’s, and he didn’t care to be in disagreement with her, or thinking she would interpret his words as being upset with her. The heart of their disagreement came from place of love, and he appreciated her caring nature. As far as he was concerned she was a prized rarity who often let her heart lead more than her mind. He decided long ago after a rather existential conversation between them he would always do everything he could to shelter and safeguard that aspect of her. Reaching out his hand he placed it over Eva’s and coiled his fingers around the delicate skin, and gave it a gentle reassured squeeze. “Eva… I care deeply about what you think, and also what bothers you. I don’t like to quarrel with you, and I don’t want you to think I’m upset if we can’t find a common ground.” He offered a somber smile as he lifted his hand.

 Lu appreciated as the subject mattered turned away from him and focused on Eva.  When she announced her pairing with Paul he couldn’t help but smile broadly laughing as he happily slapped the top of the bar, a little harder then he should’ve causing it to shake and rattle both bottles and glasses. He even leaned over the bar and kissed her forehead in an exuberant fashion. Arms folded in front of him with a grin that took up his entire face he responded. “You don’t have to thank me. I know you two are meant to be together. I had a run with him shortly after our talk, and it was so apparent how he felt. I’m so happy for you. We must toast.”  Lu turned around and grabbed a bottle of Jack and a shot glass. Filling it the brim he lifted it and waited for Eva. “To you and Paul…to true love.”

Of course it was difficult for Lu not to defend Rana. Eva had been suspicious of his feelings for the other Elf before she left, but his reaction to her disappearance all but sealed the deal in her opinion. Whether he saw that, or cared to admit it, was an entirely different matter and she of all people completely understood his reservations. While she wanted to be objective in the matter, it was impossible. Not only because of how it affected Lu, but Eva could have run from the community all those years ago too, but she didn’t. She would have had a legitimate reason to leave her people after what they had done to her and her father, but the thought had never even crossed her mind. Of course she wasn’t going to tell Lu that. He didn’t know about her past or what had really happened. The Wolf hadn’t even been born when she left Ireland. Eva was surprised by his admission that Rana had hurt him, even if it wasn’t completely straightforward. She was glad that he was aware of his feelings for the other Elf and that he was willing to at least vaguely admit them.

She smiled softly as he took her hand in his, but was confused when he mentioned fighting with her. Eva didn’t see it that way, but she supposed if she really wasn’t willing to accept Rana again as he was asking, they would be in conflict. She was slightly disappointed when he retracted his hand knowing he probably felt as though he was crossing some unspoken line, but he wasn’t. Eva wasn’t upset with him in the slightest. She sighed wondering how to go about the situation and collected her thoughts for a moment before speaking. “Lu, I wish that I could say I could accept her back with open arms, but I can’t… I’m sorry… It’s not just because of you, and I don’t know that you would truly understand all of my reasons even if I were willing to discuss them… I don’t want to fight with you of course, and I’m sorry if my hesitance towards her causes problems between us, for that is the last thing I would ever want… It doesn’t mean I would ever be mean or cruel towards her, but considering we were never close to begin with, I don’t see myself reaching out to her... If she ever needs my assistance, I would never turn her away of course. I’ll treat anyone regardless of my personal feelings towards them, but I don’t think I can be her friend if that’s what you’re asking of me…I’m sorry…” 

Lu’s reaction was much more than she had expected and Eva took it as an indication that they would be able to get past their dispute over Rana, for which she was truly grateful. Eva laughed along with him, both out of joy at her new relationship and in response to Lu’s actions. She jumped slightly at the bar’s retaliation to being attacked and was taken back by the Wolf’s kiss, but couldn’t help but beam back at him. Still grinning as a slight blush took over her features again, she raised her glass to his, “to love.”

If only she could convince Lu to allow himself the same happiness. However, she had a feeling that after Rana, he would only be more hesitant to be open to a relationship. She took a generous sip before continuing, “and if you spoke with him then I do certainly have to thank you. It’s probably why he came up with the idea of going out in the first place. His behavior completely changed and I can only assume it’s your doing,” she teased. “Whatever you said obviously struck a chord with both of us. So Mr. Gott, I am in your debt, for I’m fully convinced that you played a major part in the arrangement. Or at least in having it come to be now, rather then another century down the line. I know at least for me, it was the extra push I needed to be honest with him. Given what occurred, I have a feeling the same was true for him.”

A New Chapter ❧ Eva & Victoria (Saturday Night Aug. 30)

[victoria-f-arouet]

Victoria chuckled when Eva almost choked at her comment. “Oh honey, no need to be embarrassed. I’m pretty sure your thoughts are as far from what I consider naughty as a vampire from the sunlight. But you know if you ever need some pointers, or advise on anything … I’d be happy to help,” she said smirking. Making Eva squirm was just too much fun and it was hard to resist sometimes.

She could sense that the Elf didn’t believe her, that she considered herself lucky that Paul had shown ‘mercy’ and chose her as his mate. She wanted to tell her that this was utter bullshit, and just because she had issues stemming from her past that didn’t make her a charity case. And if Eva wasn’t so shy and really a one man woman she would hit on her just to prove her point. Everyone had shit in their past, some people just had a harder time overcoming it. Sadly she could not tell any of this to Eva since she officially didn’t know about Eva’s past.

“Don’t look so disbelieving. You are a catch and everyone has a past and issues and shit they have to deal with,” she said. It was as much as she dared to say to not make Eva uncomfortable, because she had a feeling that the Elf wouldn’t like it very much that she knew about her past, even if she guessed most of it and wasn’t privy to details. But she knew torture and punishment; she had seen a lot of bad things happen in her life, to herself and others so she thought she had a pretty good idea what had happened to the Elf.

At her rambling about a marriage she smiled gently at Eva. “Even if you haven’t talked about it yet we both know it will happen eventually. It’s what you wanted for so long. And I’m not saying you have to marry right away. Time is such a menial thing for us after all. But no matter how long you two will wait, the offer stands. Although I suspect it won’t take you all that long,” she said grinning. “Just remember if you need advice or just someone to talk to … give me a call or come by anytime.”

[eva-flynn]

The Elf was sure that Victoria’s definition of naughty was far from hers, but the offer for pointers and advice was almost too much for her to handle. Her face skipped red and went straight to purple, mouth opening and closing a few times, but only inaudible noises escaped. In all actuality Eva could definitely use advice on sex. She wanted nothing more than to be able to please Paul, and while she knew he would never ask her to do something she wasn’t comfortable with, she didn’t want to have the same struggles she had had in the past. She’d give anything to have the confidence she was sure that Victoria had in bed. However, she also knew she’d never have the courage to ask Victoria for help. “Um…well…I…yes…maybe someday…” she finally sputtered out a few words. 

She appreciated her friend’s encouragement, but her past and her “shit” wasn’t the same as other people. Eva had a feeling that Victoria might have at least some idea of what had happened. The Vampire had been in the city since she and the other Elves had moved there and she knew the woman had a knack for finding things out. The leader had eyes and ears everywhere and even though no one knew all the details, there were still people that knew the basics. “Well I’m glad you think so,” she responded softly with a forced smile. “You’re the one that anyone would be lucky to have. When are you going to let yourself be snatched up?” Eva knew things were complicated for Victoria, but she also worried that her friend would never allow herself true happiness.

Eva hadn’t realized how foreign the concept of being in a relationship still was to her. Yes, it was Paul, but things were different between them. She was still training herself not to hide from him. Getting used to the idea of sharing her life with another person openly was a lot more difficult that she had initially anticipated. They were both busy and weren’t able to spend much time together and even when they did, she felt like she spent a lot of the time apologizing. As much as she hated to admit it, she wasn’t ready for marriage, not really. She wanted to marry Paul of course, but she wanted to feel completely comfortable with him before she did so. Unfortunately, as much as she hated to admit it, she wasn’t quite there yet. 

“Well I appreciate it, really I do,” she smiled and placed a gentle hand on Victoria’s. “I could use someone to talk to and you’re one of the few people I trust. I can’t talk to Paul about everything… and some things would feel strange with Lu,” she chuckled slightly. “Besides…I don’t think Paul likes him very much…” Eva hadn’t told anyone that, but it had certainly been on her mind.

Is there a doctor in the house? || Kate & Eva|| September 29th, daytime

[katedorning]

She smiled friendly back at the elf. “Nice to finally, officially meet you Eva. I saw you at Solly’s the other day, but we didn’t get a chance to talk, or even be introduced,” she said before retracting her hand. She was glad when the woman said she could help, but started to get a little worried when she started about trial and error. And the she blushed hard when the woman asked about her sexual partners; but it made sense that the healer needed to know those kinds of things. “I uhm … a human and a shifter,” she whispered looking down at the floor. She knew that a lot of people didn’t approve of interracial relations or even of having different partners at the same time. “But uhm … before we actually start … I need to know about payment? I’m just a bartender and well … I don’t have a lot of money,” she said blushing again, this time for a different reason. Most Fae didn’t think about money at all because they had more than they cared for, but for her this was an important issue. 

[eva-flynn]

“Yes, I was a little preoccupied between worrying about my friends and helping the Hunter,” she responded quietly dropping her hand. Eva’s last thoughts were to introduce herself to anyone new, or find out about Kate, or the Human the Hunters were after. She caught the blush and felt bad for causing it, but unfortunately it was a necessary evil. The Elf tried to hide the surprise from her face at the admission of two different partners from completely different species, one of which was a Human, but fortunately the girl looked down. The last thing she wanted was for Kate to feel was judged. That wasn’t her job, and she never wanted her patients to feel judgment, only understanding and love. Eva was about to speak when the Witch brought up another problem, but she only smiled. “Just pay as you can dear,” she went to place a hand on Kate’s arm, but remembered that a lot of Seers didn’t like to be touched and quickly retracted it. “Really, don’t worry about. A lot of patients pay in installments or whatever works for them. I don’t want you to stress about something like that.” While Eva didn’t really ever want for anything, she knew that wasn’t necessarily the case for all Fae, especially the young ones. “So, did you want to start with the contraception?” She also knew that many that had limited resources only felt comfortable paying for what they could afford, one thing at a time.

Anxious Arrangement ❧ Eva & Edmund (Night of Aug 20th)

[eva-flynn]

edmundnecromancer:

Several emotions seemed to sweep over Eva’s beautiful elven face.  Edmund had come to the conclusion long ago elves produced the most beautiful females of all the fae species.  There was something he found excessively feminine about their faces, and while it was generalization he doubted if shared with any elf they would take offense. However, if he shared that with Eva it would only make the situation more uncomfortable as is the elf in front of him seemed to be struggling to smooth over her expressions: anger then maybe fear. Yes, most definitely fear because he could smell the pheromone she emitted as he stood close.  Edmund rather liked a healthily amount of banter, and Eva found it difficult to even look him in the eye, and all she would communicate were confirmations to his inquiry. Needless to say he felt odd himself making her feel so uncomfortable. If he wanted a more apt opponent he’d have to seek out Freya or Rana. After they shared another uncomfortable minute he asked a less embracive and intimate question. “How is your business doing Eva?”  He leaned up from the bar standing a more appropriate and comfortable distance from her, or at least he assumed.    

The Elf was pleasantly surprised that her brief response was enough to satiate his curiosity. She was expecting a barrage of questions like she had gotten from everyone else. Especially from someone like Edmund who seemed to want to know everything about everyone if only so he could have as much information as possible in order to be at an advantage over everyone else. Perhaps he wasn’t as terrible she had originally thought, but she was well aware that the man had manners, they were just normally hidden or overshadowed by his other behavior. She took another sip from her special order beer and cleared her throat. He also gave her some more personal space and that alone helped her nerves immensely. “It’s going quite well actually, thank you. It has been busier since the trial though…” Once again she wished she hadn’t opened her mouth, as she was sure that he wasn’t going to let her last comment slide. Not only because he seemed apt to continue their conversation, but because he was a member of the Council and would surely be curious as to what she meant by that and in this case she would feel obligated to give him more than just simple yes or no answers if that’s what he wanted.
