@lcnelylcves (Charlie & Diego)

Charlie loved sparring, it was the one of the best kind of stress relievers that she could recommend to others, and if they knew what they were doing, she sometimes found another sparring partner to hang out with. There was one partner in particular however, that she enjoyed sparring with above others though, and that was Diego.

Though she was aware that it may be coming from a biased standpoint, in all honesty, he really knew what he was doing and she enjoyed how challenging it was to try and bring him down. Once they had gone through a couple of rounds sparring, she playfully stomps over to the side and takes a few gulps of water before speaking again. "You know, one of these days, you should meet my best friend, Kima, I'd love to see her kick your ass." Charlie remarks with a smirk before it quickly falters as she remembers her last conversation with her best friend.

"Can I ask you something? And don't make a cocky remark about how I technically just did, this is serious." She muses, taking in a deep breath to try and calm her nerves. "What do you want from me? Because I know that I want you, Diego, and even if you felt the same way, I know that I don't deserve you so I don't want to hope that the flirting means you actually have feelings for me, and be painfully wrong." She admits, moving closer to him rather than to her original position, finally braving her fear rather than run away from it.

@thebridgestarters​

It should be noted that Booker wasn’t really used to surprises anymore. Having spent two hundred and fifty years wondering why he was alive, Booker had just accepted most things as they happened. There were some things that were inevitable.

People died. He and his strange new family would not.

People would hurt them. They would hurt those people back.

The world went round and round, always the same, even as it changed constantly. Booker wasn’t so drunk that he couldn’t see how much it had changed, but all at the same time, it really was the same as ever. People were the same.

Going back to the past? Well, that actually surprised him a little bit. That was new, but the 1920’s were not. Dragons were new, but strange things being possible, that was not.

He was over two hundred years old, after all. Impossible took on a whole new meaning after that.

So did loneliness. It seemed fitting, somehow. His exile, it was for a hundred years, now he was a hundred years in the past. Maybe whatever made him immortal had done this, but he doubted it.

This was something new.

And he just couldn’t summon the energy to actually care.

He wanted to spend time with Andy before she died too, breaking his heart all over again.

He wanted to watch Nile learn the few good parts of the tragedy they’d all live through over and over again.

He wanted to watch soccer with Joe and argue over whether French or Italian was better with Nicky despite neither of them really feeling that patriotic for a very long time (or ever, in Sebastien’s case).

He wanted to be with his family, but it wasn’t the first time Booker had lost everyone he loved.

Besides, this was marginally better than being kidnapped by the woman who had literally haunted his nightmares for those two hundred plus years.

Snorting into his drink, Booker was both drunker than anyone else in the bar, and annoyingly sober. If anyone else tried to drink as much as he did, they’d be dead, literally, but he had to keep up the pace to keep himself drunk. If he stopped for a little too long, his healing would start to kick again.

Which was why he ordered another drink before finishing the current one. He’d need it, if he was thinking about all this.

Except the bartender decided now was the time to cut him off.

“Please.” He sighed. “This is ridiculous. Tell him, I do not need to be cut off.” He directed the question at the person on the neighbouring barstool. “I have not been bothering anyone, I am not slurring my words, I’m just French, and I can handle much more than this.” 

[galaxydrcaming]

With her arms carefully resting on top of her bump, Aidyn managed to easily ignore the strange glares from the somewhat sober people at the fact that she was at a bar, but to be fair, she had been looking for any of her brothers in the hope that one of them would be here. As she realized quickly that they weren’t here, she rolled her eyes in annoyance and turned to head back out, until the voices over at the bar caught her attention, or she supposed it was more so, his accent, even if she knew there were plenty of French people around. 

“Ah, ye sure he can’t have another?” She questions towards the bartender and sits herself down, resting her arm on the bar. “Whilst I’m curious as to how much ye can take down, there’s probably some sort of shit limit tha’ stops people from gettin’ so langered, they can’t get up, and can’t blame them, who the feck wants to take care of people sprawled all over their floor like tha’?” Aidyn asks with a laugh.

Hector couldn't help but smile back at her when Briseis smiled at him like that. He felt like a boy again, smitten over every little thing the object of his affection did, and he was finding it something of a challenge to hide. This feeling he had towards her.

"I'm glad to hear it, truly. I do my best not to bother you when I approach." Hector knew that he'd leave the moment she seemed even slightly uncomfortable with him, but that moment just didn't seem to happen. Lifting her basket, Hector was distracted by looking at what she was showing him when she stumbled, the former prince reacting instantly, a hand moving to her side to steady her while his other hand lifted to the basket's bottom. "Are you alright?" He was looking at her with concern, not having processed just how close they were until he met her eyes and found himself nearly nose to nose with her, blushing softly. "Apologies, I just..didn't want you to fall..."

[galaxydrcaming]

"Oh, you could never bother me, Hector, I know I may be busy at times, but I will always find time to speak with you." She honestly admits, a warm blush heating up her cheeks once she recovers from the stumble with his help, nodding in response. "Yes, and you have no need to apologize, I wanted to give my apologies for having fallen for you-i-into you, I mean." Briseis quickly clarifies with another soft smile, her lips slightly parting as she notices how close they are. "Thank you, for helping me."

[allxthingsxglxtter]

@galaxydrcaming || For Briseis

Hector had honestly been able to relax a lot more, living in Sydney. He might not know anyone really, as he had yet to encounter any of his loved ones or friends, but he was at peace. There was no war to fight, no city to spend sleepless nights trying to solve problems for, just a life to live. And a part of that life that he looked forward to was running into Briseis.

He wasn't exactly sure what she thought of him, but to Hector she was a friend. Possibly more, but bringing feelings into things made everything complicated, and made him feel a little like he would be disappointing Andromache. But he didn't dwell on those feelings as he walked up to where he spotted Briseis browsing at the market, his hands clasped behind his back as he stopped next to her.

"Hello Briseis. I can't say I'm surprised to find you here anymore. Seems you like spending time at this market as much as I do. Find anything good today?"

[galaxydrcaming]

Hearing the familiar voice, Briseis turns around quickly and offers a warm smile up towards Hector. Their situation was a bit of a complicated one, though she was aware that he had been the one to kill her best friend, she had blamed Achilles far more than him, and thinking back to Patroclus' words, she agreed that their gods were also at fault. So, she was stuck with feelings that she assumed wouldn't be returned in fear of making things awkward.

"Hector, it's wonderful to see you again, and I'd really only be lying to the both of us if I denied it." She admits with a warm laugh. "This place has such delicious fruits and vegetables, it'd be far more difficult to get me away from here." Briseis muses, lifting up her basket and tilting it a bit to show him, but her fingers slip and she nearly drops it, stumbling forward. "Oh!"

"Not horrified is good I guess." Chase chuckled lightly, figuring if that was the best he got he'd take it. But as she continued he had to force himself to stay where he was, to just listen rather than try to pull her into his arms and just hold her. It sounded so conflicting, that being in love with him both made her upset and was a good thing, and he really wasn't sure where it really rested.

Taking a breath, he spoke sincerely. "Hope, I've been falling in love with you since the moment we met. Every day I think about you. What you're doing, if you're having a good day, smiling to myself when I think about your cute furrowed brows and the scowl you give me when I'm being annoying. It makes my day every single time I'm able to get you to smile, or laugh. I love your laugh so damn much, I dream about it at night. I don't know the moment I fell for you, but...I looked at you one of those nights where you were growling at me and knew I'd fallen in love with you. I know I'm annoying, and snarky, and not that great at sharing too much about myself, but to say I deserve someone good and amazing when I'm already looking at you sounds like I've already found who I supposedly deserve. I just hope that someday, one day....you let me try to be even a little deserving of you."

[galaxydrcaming]

"Absolutely not horrified in any way shape or form." She quickly explains, absentmindedly making random knots with the piece of rope she always carried around in her pocket or bag. "I-I know that this all sounds confusing, believe me, it's about ten times worse in my own head." Hope says in a light joking tone.

Her lips part in slight surprise as she listens to him speak now. If this is the true love her grandparents spoke so much about, then Chase was worth the wait, he always would be, and that's when it also hit her that she wasn't falling for him, she's already in love with him, so much that it physically pains her to think about being away from him.

Shaking her head, she sniffles, unaware until this very second, that she had begun to cry, happy tears of course, as she steps closer to him and places gentle hands on his cheeks. "Chase, never think that your beautiful words and feelings are not mutual, because I swear to you with everything that I am, that they are. You frustrate me to end but that's what I love about you most, and I don't growl." Hope muses with a laugh as she wraps her arms around his neck and presses her lips against his.

@featherskies

“Well, that would be why you’re my look out!” Missy insists, but takes the drink with a small nod at her friend. Arguably, she knew she had better things to do here than just acting up. She had to find her dad, she had to find the others, and hopefully… see that they weren’t making too much trouble without her breathing down their neck. Though, if she had to guess her friends, that was going to be far from the case. “You could sit in it too, that way we would both have an awesome story to tell when we get back into Sydney. When other time are we going to get to sit on a throne made for god.” 

"Oh, was that my job? Shit, I guess I'm getting fired." Hope teases with a loud laugh and takes a sip of her drink, looking around now just in case. "I mean, you don't have to ask me twice." She finally gets up and moves over to sit on the throne, pulling Missy over so they can share considering how much room there was. "I've sat on a throne before...this one's cooler."

“I’m not quite sure of the other worlds that are out there.” Psyche speaks gently as she stares at the portal, willing someone… anyone to come out of it so she could ask them questions, about how it worked, about the worlds that were out there. “I’m not looking different worlds though… well, maybe I am… but I’m more so looking for a certain person.” 

“Unfortunately, neither do I.” Nixie admits with a faint smile and shake of her head. “Everything here just gets stranger, but if you’re looking for someone, I can help, what do they look like, their name?”

@featherskies (Aidyn & Lucy Gray)

Rubbing her belly absentmindedly, Aidyn's fingers gently hovered over some baby clothes, unsure of which to choose from at that moment. She naturally didn't know what she was having so she grabbed only ones that she thought looked cute regardless of color.

As she moves through the aisles, she notices someone nearby and gestures towards the clothing. "Despite knowin' that we were all wee things at one point, it's still a surprise to see how we fit into somethin' like this." She remarks with a laugh.

"I know I'm allowed to feel those things, and I do. In a tight little ball that I shove deep down inside of myself." Randall smirked a little before sighing as she moved closer, getting the idea she wasn't going to let this drop. He also expected she likely wouldn't accept the reasoning that he wasn't gonna live long anyways so why bother dealing with stuff like that, or take that well for that matter. So, he just poked her shoulder. "I know I'm not a robot. I definitely make way too many mistakes to be a robot. But there's no benefit, for anyone around me, to deal with every angle of my negative or unnecessary feelings. I've always been like this Melinda, no reason to get upset over lil' ole me now."

[galaxydrcaming]

Melinda makes a face at that response, sighing softly. "Randall.." She starts, moving her shoulder away slightly when he pokes her, before reaching over to poke him back. "Are you sure you're not a robot? Beep borp.." She weakly muses with a small smile and shake of her head. "You'd feel better not having to keep it all in and you have people who care about you so deeply, here, I can't be the only one who wants to be there for you with whatever is going on. I'm not going to apologize for caring about one of my closest friends." Melinda replies as she turns towards him. "Take me for example, I've always been open about my feelings, and let me tell you, a while ago, I met the most frustrating man ever, mind you, this all stems from the fact that he saw that I'm a witch and immediately started judging me and practically wished he still had his werewolf form just so he could kill me!" Her tone gets louder as she speaks and huffs after her rant. "There, I'm still a little annoyed, but I feel better. Now, you go."

asterin & feyre || @galaxydrcaming

As Asterin and Feyre found themselves amidst the vibrant bustle of Sydney, Australia, Asterin, intrigued by the brunette's presence, couldn't resist a friendly opening. With a faint smile, she asked, "Excuse me, have you found anything interesting in this peculiar city? It's all quite bewildering, isn't it?"

[galaxydrcaming]

It had taken Feyre longer than necessary for her to even step foot in the art shop she worked at, but once she had quickly gone in to put some of the art supplies she had at home, into their new containers, she got back out and went back down the familiar path to her home. It wasn't long before she was stopped by the other, offering back the faint smile. "If this place is peculiar, you should have seen Prythian, it was a beautiful land." She muses absentmindedly for a moment, thinking about Velaris in specific before blinking quickly, remembering that she wouldn't speak of it to anyone. "Sorry, is there anything in particular that you like to do or want to see? I've lived here all my fake life and still feel like I haven't seen everything."

@galaxydrcaming  asked  :  “  the  scariest  thing  about  halloween  is  that  rent  is  due  the  next  day.  “  leia  &  sabine.

[galaxydrcaming]

Smiling over at her, Sabine gives a little lazy shrug and crosses her arms. "I could say that, that's also why I miss the ghost so much, but it'd only be a small part of the truth." She admits, remembering both her crew and when Leia had helped them out. "How is everything, by the way? What's been going on?"

"Adeline, I was a god. A dark one yes, but a god. And one that had never experienced....any, love at all. I understand that it was broken, and unhealthy, but it was the only way I knew it. If obsession is what you'd like to call it, alright."

Luc shifted uncomfortably, used to talking with her bluntly but unused to trying to verbalize his existence. "I am changed because I remember mortal memories. A life, with family and loves that this place has given me, and what those relationships looked like. I am different because I understand how those relationships should be, and have mortal feelings and responses to those relationships. I'll never be fully human Adeline, but my thoughts aren't as...unexplainable, as they were when I was just the dark god you despise, I'm more now."

[galaxydrcaming]

Pressing her lips together, she nods in understanding and looks away. "So, are you telling me, that what you felt for me, was genuinely love? Or, your interpretation of it? Because when we were together and you had agreed that it had just been a long game, it didn't seem like you had felt any form of love." She points out, knowing she was being a hypocrite considering she would later decide to play him. It seemed they both still had things to work on, regardless of how she still felt for him.

As she listens to him, she takes in a deep breath and almost hesitates in her movement, but moves forward towards him and looks up. "If you are more now, then I want to try something." She muses, stepping up and pressing her lips against his softly, wrapping her arms around his neck and letting herself enjoy this moment.

[galaxydrcaming]

@allxthingsxglxtter

"Why isn't that the best thing to do? I don't know these people, I have no loyalty to any of them, and danger is constantly imminent. And you yourself died in those circumstances. It only reassures me that was very much the correct decision to make. My father abandoned me, why should I care for the town he's from or the man himself?" Levi shrugged, knowing it was a callous way of looking at things, but his brother was the only person he cared about, and he would never willingly walk them into a dangerous situation. "There are a lot of wolves here? Good to keep in mind. I'll have to avoid the woods at full moons."

Ariel can only blink in surprise as she offers a small, but awkward smile and clears her throat. "Sorry, I guess I'm just not used to that sort of opinion, but to each their own after all, and getting out of my own shoes for a moment, I can understand why you wouldn't want anything to do with the town. Believe me, I want nothing to do with him as well." She admits and nods in confirmation. "That's a good idea."

He didn't make any attempt to let her go, just holding her tight and letting them both just, feel the other alive. Patroclus never imagined he'd get to see Achilles again, much less Briseis and to find her here at last was overwhelming. "Yes, yes it's me. I don't know how, I just know I'm here."

He let himself hug her for just a moment longer before he leaned back, taking her in and making sure she was alright a moment before he spoke again. "I'm so sorry Briseis, I tried to survive and make it back, I never...I didn't expect it, I'm sorry I left you." Patroclus knew he was being slightly ridiculous, apologizing for dying, but things had gone so badly after, he couldn't help but feel responsible for the pain that had followed after.

[galaxydrcaming]

Sniffling, she uses her sleeve to wipe her face a bit before leaning back just enough to really look at him, a couple of hiccups escaping. "I never thought I'd see you again." She admits, trying hard not to burst into tears again. "What? Patroclus no, I do not want you blaming yourself for any of this, I do not blame you in any way." She quickly shakes her head and frowns. "I know how much you love Achilles so I will apologize only to you for this, but he is the only one I blame for your death."

Looking over at her sister, Aidyn playfully rolls her eyes at the first comment. "Oh please, they're jus' sayin' that because he's French, but he's amazing, Sersh, truly!" She looks away and sighs happily as she thinks of Laurent, but the next words give her pause as she blinks quickly, realizing that her vision was becoming blurry, a sniffle sound causing her to groan in frustration. "I'm so sorry, ye won't be the first, but for fuck's sake, these hormones may just kill me." She grumbles, looking down and rubbing her belly.

"And now you're stuck with me, so congrats on now having the best sister ever." Lisa smirked a little, teasing but also very serious. Any family of Len's was now family of hers. "You've not used it for stealing at all? That right there is some wasted potential. You could definitely be able to make money with that. Likely could just, fry any security measures. I'm a little jealous."

Mare's laughter is soft as she shakes her head. "I already have two sisters, one from blood and one from the life here so I can confidently say that you'd have to fight at least one of them for that title." She teases and makes a face. "No, I didn't go back into stealing until I was here, there was a lot to deal with back in Norta, but I also want to be better than that."
