Hoy me iré de casa corriendo descalza

 A ver quien me atrapa. A ver quien me alcanza

Dylan was really not the type to stay at home. Damien was probably the one person she had seen the most, and her pet hadn’t been coming over so needless to say, she was bored. Like most businesses, hers did also take a hit but nothing she couldn’t figure out. Honestly, the thing that bothered her the most was that the town was on lockdown because of the pandemic and the half-demon did not like that at all. 

Even when she was taking a walk, this town was too quiet. There were hardly anything times were normal, and even less now that they were being restricted. “This town is as dull as ever.” She muttered. 

††††††††††

In all honesty, Fer had zero clue when the other woman had fallen into step with her, much less why after fifteen minutes of walking side-by-side, the other hadn’t gone off in a different direction yet. The mermaid was out attempting to get some air and focus on the positive things in her life right now, but it seemed Ms. Debbie Downer just wasn’t going to let that happen. “Yes, and you’re the epitome of interesting by stating the obvious,” she retorted, before turning to look at her. “If you’re so over the town why don’t you just get your psycho brother to shimmer you to Transylvania or where ever the hell you spawned from?”

Sage had noticed that there would be someone walking the young waitress home. She had thought the dog was enough company but it was clearly not the case. “Does she usually have someone walk her home from work?” Catalina couldn’t be that bad at directions if she was walking to and from the same places. “I assume that it won’t be long until I meet the rest of your family?” 

“Yeah, there was an incident a bit back and we all just feel better knowing she’s got someone with her when she walks home in the evenings,” Fernanda stated. She figured lying could possibly create more problems than not, and if anything, it helped if one of Cat’s co-workers knew to keep an eye out. “I’m sure you’ll get a chance to cycle through us all at some point or another.”

[fcrnvdvxsvlvzvr]

“I wouldn’t be surprised if it did from the way Catalina talks to him.” She swore that dog knew exactly what the young girl says to him the entire time. Sage looked around the restaurant, and with only the nuisance of a customer sitting around, the rush hour had died down a bit. “I think she only has a few minutes left in her shift.” While she may have the authority to let her staff go early, the staff didn’t know that. “Is she aware that you’re here, waiting?”

The tone with which the woman addressed the possibility clued Fer in to the fact that she was likely dealing with mundane. Otherwise, the implication that her cousin had been allowing a dog that could turn into a human would be a bit more of a harrowing thought... “Oh, that’s cool. I’m not in any particular hurry though,” she provided, before pausing to think for a bit at the question. “I know she’s aware that someone will be here to walk her home, but I’m not entirely sure if she’s aware of which cousin it might be.”

[fcrnvdvxsvlvzvr]

Sage simply shrugged, not denying nor agreeing to the weight of her role. As proud as she was about her own dishes, the woman wasn’t one to brag aloud either. “Ah.. Catalina?” The young girl was the only one she knew of who had a dog following her around. It surprised her initially but the dog didn’t seem like he’d be a nuisance so Sage let him stay. “She talks to that dog quite often.” 

Fernanda didn’t press the matter. Though most people tended to take one look at her and assume otherwise, the mermaid could appreciate modesty and humility. Her smile broadened at her cousin’s name. “That would be her,” she concurred. A small laugh bubbled up at the last comment. Nodding she said, “Yeah, her girlfriend’s told me that there’s no need to worry unless the dog somehow starts talking back..”

[fcrnvdvxsvlvzvr]

svgexmagoro‌:

She could relate to that - all her decisions were calculated. It’d be unwise of her to waste all her efforts on a single issue when there were plenty others to address. “My role is to ensure people enjoy their meals. That’s all.” Sage said instead, then with a pause, she noticed that this young woman was just sitting here. “Did someone take your order?” Sage did see any orders coming in which was why she took the moment to step out from the kitchen. 

Fer took in the woman’s appearance and let out a small laugh. “I think you might be underselling it a bit there. Considering a restaurant thrives on people appreciating the food, your role as the chef is pretty hefty. Surely nothing to be minimized or simplified,” she said. At the question she let out another laugh, “Oh no, sorry. I’m just here waiting for my cousin. You probably know her, she’s the smallest thing you’ll meet with the biggest personality....and a dog that’s almost bigger than she is.”

[fcrnvdvxsvlvzvr]

“I suppose.” She didn’t know what the woman picked as her career, but Sage was still finding foot with the restaurant so while she had choice of being selective, the restaurant fair better when it was open to every customer. And from the additional information from the other, it almost sounded like freelance to her. “Complications are there in all sorts of form, it wouldn’t be wise to avoid every issue that comes our way.”

As new businesswoman taking charge of a company that was lead more than little astray she knew a thing of two about complications. “You are correct, we can’t avoid them in their entirety. But there are levels of importance to any and all complications that arise. I personally just find it more helpful to focus my energy on the ones that I know will have a greater impact once resolved, than to get caught up wasting needed energy by attempting to address them all. Especially when some complications will have zero impact if just ignored. Like that one relative that is always trying to discuss politics or religion at holidays,” she said, with a small laugh.

She hadn’t realize that she spoke loud enough for someone else to hear her, but still, she shifted her attention to the young woman sitting at the nearby table. Black Mirror. She heard about the show before but Sage never watched it. The woman split most of her time between the restaurant and the hospital that TV shows and movies were the least of her priorities. “It would, but my boss would say it’s bad for business if we kicked everyone we didn’t like out.” 

Fernanda couldn’t help but chuckle at the reply, picking up the camera that hung around her neck as she said, “Perks of being one’s own boss then, I suppose. I get to be as picky as I want.” She tilted her head and pursed her lips as she furrowed her brow slightly in thought. “Then again, I suppose it would also be perks of it being my second job...” The mermaid trailed off as she shook her head, and gently let her camera drop back down. “Sorry, I suppose just ‘blocking’ a person wouldn’t really be the best advice as to how to actually deal with them. Granted, I’m just assuming that if you were considering it, it’s because someone was being an ass.”

Sage sighed as she sat down at a table in the corner of her restaurant - one that she hid her name as the owner under the guise that she was only hired as a chef. Someone had returned a plate, complaining that it was too bland…only to be fine with it when Sage sent it back out without any adjustments. “Can we ban people from coming?” She muttered to herself as she stared at said customer enjoying their meal. Because realistically, she could but she shouldn’t be picky about her customers as long as they paid for the meal.

Fernanda had come looking for her cousin, but was told she’d have to wait a bit longer for her shift to end. Not appreciating the circus that a certain customer was making out of sending food back, she had made her way to an emptier section of the restaurant. She watched as, who she could only assume was the chef, made her way out of the back and past her to a nearby table. It didn’t take much to put two and two together at the other woman’s comment, and she simple chuckled wryly. “Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just do like in Black Mirror and block people in real life?” she posited.

Amaryllis wasn’t sure what Sean was expecting when he waved her over but she didn’t think he was going to introduce the baby to her when she did make her way towards them. “…Hi.” She greeted the baby, not knowing how she felt about being an ‘auntie’ to this kid, and that Sean thought she’s nice. “Uh.. What’s its name?” She glanced over and saw that everyone was absolutely thrilled by this woman’s appearance. “…..It’s so small.” She commented, staring down at the baby in his arms. 

Sean let out a small laugh as he said, “Her name is Teuila. Izzy told me she named her after my mother because of her redhair and because the name comes from the Samoan red flower. They call her Tilly for short.” He couldn’t help but smile fondly at the slight awe in Amaryllis’ voice as she noted how small the baby was, and the smile only broadened when Tilly happily reached out a tiny hand and latched onto one of the shifter’s fingers. “I think she likes you,” he commented.

“THE BABY IS SO CUTE!!!!!!” The mermaid squealed as she approached Sean and said baby. “Tilly? Awwwww, that’s adorable! Hi Tilly!” She smiled as she hovered over the baby with excitement, and her smile widened even further when Tilly grabbed Amaryllis’ finger, “OOOOOH! Her hand is so tiny!!!!!!!”

Fernanda made her way over, following after Catalina. “Oh, look at that,” she cooed. “She went straight to you and her sister seems to have gone straight to Tomi. I’m beginning to understand why Artemis is always teasing about you and Tomi having meant to be twins, Sean,” she joked. “Tilly seems really fond of you too, Amaryllis,” she noted, as the baby continued to smile at the other girl and hold on to her finger.

“Um.” She didn’t know what to say, so she just looked back in the direction they came from. “Should we head back?” How long were they even in here for? “I think the rest of the gang arrived..” Amaryllis didn’t know but she hoped they did. Tomi was looking really happy and she was sure it was all because of the conversation they were having and the realization that dawned on her face about …whatever the relationship she had with a certain redhead. Since she never dealt with this sort of situation before, she needed time to process it before figuring out what she should do.. or not do.

Tomi nodded, allowing the girl the out she was looking for…for now. There would be plenty of time to ask her questions later, maybe even with some backup. Tomi led the way back towards the main ballroom and made it just in time to see Artie and Cat arriving with the mermaid’s cousins. “Artie, Cat, and the Pacific’s Next Top Models, welcome!” she called out with a small laugh.

“Tomi!!!!” The little mermaid rushed forward to give her friend a big hug, wrapping her arms around the girl’s waste and squeezed. Shifting slightly, she pointed at her cousins, “This is Fer, and that is Julie.” It never occured to Catalina that people should know their first name, and not just a nickname. They’re my cousins!” Everyone would know the cousins were coming but she still wanted to announce it. 

“Ooh, the Pacific’s Next Top Models, I like that,” Fernanda exclaimed as she sidled up to Cat and her friend. “It’s very nice to meet you Tomi, Cat has told me a lot about you and everyone else here. I’m very grateful that you’ve all made her feel at home here in town.” She glanced briefly over her shoulder before adding, “I’m sure our cousin Julian would say the same if he weren’t busy with the ornaments...”

“I did.” The world was generous enough to lead Catalina into finding the family she had here in Fallcrest. The Scooby gang and Auntie Dee, along with many others in town whom she felt was ‘home’ to her. While she was happy with her cousins, and her father back when her mother was still alive, she couldn’t help but think she was … happier here with her new life. Catalina couldn’t help but send Fernanda a questioning look when she voiced her wish to find a home herself. 

“Fer, you know you’re always welcome. Like Artie said, mi casa es su casa. I… want to say you don’t even have to ask but this place is more Artie’s and Auntie D’s..” She chuckled, “He’s my best friend, Fer. And so are you! And since we all grew up together, are you even surprised?”   

“I’m glad.” It was the first thing Artemis had stated with absolute resolution this entire meeting, and the look on her face as she gazed down at the younger mermaid only served to set it in stone. If there was anything she had ever been more certain of, than how happy she was to have Cat in her life, the faerie couldn’t thin of it right now.

Glancing back over at their guest, she was quick to chirp, “Nope, she’s right. No need to ask. Auntie D’s always told me she and my great uncle had always hoped to fill this place with kids of their own, and since they never really got a chance to do that, she’s more than happy to open her doors other people’s kids.” Realizing how creepy that last bit may have sounded, she quickly added, “But like in a foster kind of way, not like a crazy witch kind of way- I’m going to stop talking now.”

There was something so reassuring and heartwarming about how the two girls before her interacted with one another. The way Artemis spoke, and looked at her cousin right now washed away any lingering doubts that she may have had about the faerie from her initial impression. It dawned on her that she hoped someday someone might look at her the same way, and a sad smile crossed her face before she replaced it with a much happier one.

“You’re totally fine, I get it. Besides, something tells me if it were in a witchy way, I’d have had a much harder time finding Cat,” she laughed, before easing herself onto her feet. “Well, I guess I’ll go ahead and get in touch with Julian and gather my things from the hotel. I’ll message you when I’m on my way back so I don’t...interrupt anything...”

Her lips thinned into a hard line as she leaned into her girlfriend, still feeling very guilty for accusing her cousin of having a motive behind her visit. Fernanda never lied to her so she had no reasons to believe she would start now. “If you want, you could stay here.. Right, Artie?” She looked up to the other before back down, “I mean, you said that you aren’t sure where you’re staying and.. and Artie said we have plenty of room and.. and that you’re welcomed - and Julie too.” 

Reaching over, Catalina took her cousin’s hand gently in hers, “I missed you so much, Fer.” She smiled, “I’m really, really glad that you’re here. I would visit home.. but I don’t think it’s a good idea right now.”

Artemis had admittedly made a conscious effort to remain focused elsewhere as the cousins conversed. Not only was the topic at hand not one that really had much to do with her, directly at least, but it was also clearly a touchy one. She had already managed to stick both her feet in her mouth so far, and she had yet to grow a third one so…

Her attention was brought back when she felt Cat lean into her, and was quick to catch on to what the smaller girl was saying. “Oh! Yeah, definitely! Mi casa, es su casa! … that’s not racist is it? I didn’t mean it like that. I just- Yes, my house is yours.”

“In all honesty, I don’t really think ‘home’ is necessarily where we grew up, so much as where we feel free to be ourselves the most,” Fernanda replied with a soft smile, and a reassuring squeeze to her cousin’s hand. “Something tells me you’ve found yourself a nice home here,” she added with a small glance at Artie, “And I hope to get the chance to find a home of my own too.” There was a lot more depth to her latter words, but she didn’t feel now was the time to go into that.

Laughing heartily at the faerie’s reaction, it took her a bit to catch her breath again. Blues twinkling, she just shook her head and said, “No, I don’t think that’s considered racist. Maybe if you’d tried to say in ‘whale’,” she said, cracking up again. Taking another bit to calm back down, she simply smiled and said, “If you’ll have me, I’d be more than happy to stay. I’m sure Julian will have no qualms with it either. I swear sometimes I think you two were meant to be conjoined twins or something.”

[fcrnvdvxsvlvzvr]

“Family is family, Fer.” She knew the other two meant well - they always had - and knew that they weren’t keen on most of her family members. Fernanda had more reason to, knowing the family as well as she did, but Catalina still felt like she needed to defend her father. She was all he had left aside from the company. After all, it was only when her mother died that he had made some questionable choices. 

“Oh..” That made sense. Catalina would do the same; her interest in the company just wasn’t there and it didn’t seem like her father wanted her to do anything important either aside from meeting potential clients. She was a friendlier face than her father after all. 

Catalina felt terrible for questioning her cousin’s reason to find her. Mentioning the company and its changes had her thinking that there was going to be something that might involve her. “Right.. s-sorry, Fer..” She bit her lip as she looked down guiltily. “I miss you too.. I just.. Sorry.. I didn’t mean to think that you’ve got other motives..”

Fernanda knew this was a conversation that would never end well for them. They both had a stance on the matter, and neither was willing to compromise. She also knew how to pick her battles, and considering she’d just found her cousin, not was not the time to engage in this one.

“You have nothing to apologize for, Catalina,” she began, “Our upbringing doesn’t exactly lend itself to fostering anything but the idea that people have ulterior motives. I’m in no position to hold that against you. I genuinely plan on staying for a while, and I hope that the news I’ve just given you won’t affect our time together.”

[fcrnvdvxsvlvzvr]

“Silly, you’re not my old family. Family is family.” She chuckled as she admire that everyone was getting along - everyone who mattered. Julian still had to meet Artemis but Catalina was sure he was going to love her nearly as much as she did. Who wouldn’t? Artemis was amazing in the mermaid’s opinion and no one could tell her otherwise. 

Catalina relaxed a bit when she learned that Fernanda’s mother was still healthy and fine - and that passing down her role to her cousin was nothing health related. “Oh.. I see.. I didn’t know that. Julie didn’t tell me anything about the company when he came to visit.” She frowned, still somewhat confused to why Fernanda was tell her this. “W-wait, did you come find me only to tell me that?” She was trying to wrap her mind about all of this. It was certain that her father wouldn’t like that the young Salazar could potentially buy him out. The company meant everything to her father and Catalina didn’t know what he would do if he lost that. Also, what would this mean for herself? 

“Family is what you choose to make it,” Fernanda gently corrected. After all, the last thing she wanted was for Catalina to feel like she was still somehow obligated to deal with anyone she didn’t feel comfortable around just because they were ‘family’.

Noticing how the younger mermaid’s thoughts were already beginning to spiral, she reached out to take hold of her free hand. “Hey, ease up, okay? Let’s go one thing at a time: Julian didn’t mention anything because we both know that boy would prioritize a passing school of tuna that he’d only ever see once over company matters,” she said with a small smile, “And no, I didn’t come to find you just to tell you this. I came to find you because I missed you. I wanted to see you and see that you were okay. I’m only telling you this now because I’m sure we were bound to discuss the rest of the family at some point, and inevitably the company by extension. Figured it’d be best to just address it now.”

At the mention of having Cat’s cousins together for the holidays, Artemis relaxed and even smiled at the idea. She knew that family was immensely important to Cat and how much the issues with her father had upset her, so having a means to ease that in any way sounded fantastic to the faerie. “That’s excellent! I’d be more than happy to have you guys stay here with us…place is kind of big for just three ladies.”

She allowed herself to be lead to the living room, and took a seat next to Cat. She wasn’t entirely sure where this was going or what she herself would even contribute, but Cat seemed keen on keeping her there. Brown eyes went wide at Fernanda’s words as she thought, Oh, it’s one of those talks… It took everything in her not to go over and high-five the blonde, but she couldn’t speak as to how successful she was at schooling her features…

At the promise of another visit from her cousins, Catalina was already looking forward to it. It had been forever since the three of them spent time together but as time went by, they found it harder to find time to get together. The younger mermaid was squirming with excitement when Artemis even offered her cousins a room as well. All the people she loved under one room, what could be better than that?

Her eyes widened as she heard the news but she wasn’t quite as ecstatic about the news as her girlfriend. Just how much did she miss back at home and at the office? “Did something happen with Auntie?” Not that she was underestimating her cousin’s abilities, but she was curious to why the sudden change. “Wait, when did Julie give his shares away?” She subconsciously leaned into Artemis, “I.. papá probably isn’t too happy about it, is he?” She can’t imagine that her father was pleased to know that there was a chance that her cousin could potentially be the boss of him. 

Fernanda glanced at her hostess, and smiled. “That would be very much appreciated. We haven’t really had much of an opportunity to all be under the same roof in a few years, and I’m sure Catita would be very much enthused to have her new family get to spend time with her old one.”

She had expected the questions, though the rapid-fire manner was something she’d gotten somewhat unaccustomed to with Julian and Cat having been on their own for a while now. Regardless, she went ahead and provided the needed answers as they came. “No, mother is fine. She’s just grown tired of the day-to-day grind of having to play buffer between her brothers, but also knows that she couldn’t just step away all together. Without some from of stop-gap, there’s no telling how many things would actually go through on the board,” she said. More detail was not provided, as Fernanda understood that though her mother may have been transparent with her on where their money sometimes came from, that didn’t mean her cousins had the same courtesy extended to them. “He signed them over to me when he decided to come looking for you. He figured he had no reason to hold on to them if he never really planned on doing anything with the company.” She took a deep breath and let out a low sigh. “No, he is not. But there’s nothing to be done about it now. I may not have actively sought out to be the majority share-holder, but that doesn’t mean I’m just going to hand the company over.”
