A part of Eden hoped Banks would've been there before to help guide her choices, but it didn't matter. It would be fun for them to try it for the first time together. "Well, I guess that just means we'll have to come back in a couple of weeks to see if they've changed things up." She said with a laugh. "You're right, one scoop of each might be too much." Sometimes Eden's sweet tooth got the better of her, so it was always good to have something there to help her rein it in. Banks was good like that, so she was glad that he was there. "But, anyway, what's been going on with you lately?"
"Not if we had help to get through it, but just us? I'll still try a few, for you." He shook his head, trying to keep a good eye on the menu as there were still too many options for his taste. It would have been easier to get something without overthinking it and then move on, whether he liked it or not. "Is this your roundabout way to ask me why my face looks the way it does?" It was a lot nicer than he deserved, considering the black eye was barely healed enough to not look swollen shut anymore as he tensed only slightly. "Not great, but that's not really news. Chocolate then?" He tried to change the subject back to the ice cream, even though he knew it wouldn't do much good when it came to Eden.
"That's certainly one way of describing her, yes." Atlas chuckled, nodding his head slowly. He loved his sister for everything that she was. They had always been close, and it had come as no surprise to him to find out that Rowen was no longer mortal. As bad as he had felt for Rowen at the time, and still did, he was glad for Adelaide that she had found someone that she loved so much that she wanted to have them around as much as she could. It was the type of love that Atlas hoped he would find one day, but he also knew that it was unlikely for himself. Unlike Adelaide, he could never condemn another to the life that they lived. "I know you better than to take offense to your absence." He knew Rowen's feelings about the life that he had been given, and Atlas didn't blame him for keeping his distance. Which was why, despite being glad to see him, he was surprised that Rowen had come back to Raven's Peak, especially since most of the others were there too. "I do hope the two of you have had time for a reunion."
"Never enough of one." His own cross to bear, so to speak, as he leaned back into his seat with the glass that dangled from his grip as he took in the other's company. "But we always manage to find each other when we need to," he added, though he'd never thought it would mean coming back here again. In all their time together and apart, Raven's Peak was a place that stood outside of their worlds as long as they were together as he kept his presence from there for as long as he could. It did not last nearly as long as he thought as he poised a bit of a question on the tip of his tongue. "So what brought you back? I'm sure you've been asked that a few too many times before, but I know it's the one question that I've been asked more than others. However I did have one individual ask me if I were an original." He added with a bit of a laugh at the thought. "Imagine that."
"you're too good to me grillon, one day you need to tell me why i deserve it," in all honesty, sebastien didn't mind coming inside for a little while, if he could spend it in the company of his best friend with nice snacks. "leaving a trail seems funnier, though," they pointed out with a chuckle.
"hm, i see," which they did, even if sebastien didn't understand. a mental note was made; cricket enjoys books, and you should get them one for christmas. sebastien hadn't ever gotten anybody anything for the holidays in a very long time, and the sheer idea of it excited the vampire. "i would like that a lot,"
"one day, maybe I will," they spoke with a bit of a smile as they glanced sideways at the other. it wouldn't be too difficult to make up a plate of treats from inside to leave a trail back towards where sebastien might have felt more comfortable, but if the other wanted to come inside then they'd be happy with that choice either. cricket felt more comfortable around them, odd as it might seem, but it didn't matter to them. "if you thought it was funny, then i may have to try it again to see where else we could spend time. though i'm not sure i could do it back up to my apartment." it'd take some planning to get treats to go vertical.
they glanced fully at the other with a growing smile. "i'm talking too much, aren't i?" it was odd how that only happened around a few when most of the time, cricket felt like the quiet one. "okay, then know it's going to happen. i'll make a small pile of them and we can go through to find the right one for you. it'll be just like the pagemaster." an old childhood favorite of their own, something they might have taken on through their wanting to be just like their older sister.

Kodi shrugged, rising from the couch and wandering about the room aimlessly as they observed the space Banks and the rest of the band had set aside. It was a cool little place, she liked it. Kodi was starting to think this may be the place to spend more free time than not. "Why not? This little town of yours is a cute lil place." It wasn't the reason, not entirely at least. It was a good little place to lay low a while, but truly Kodi had wanted somewhere that Camila could feel at least a little more comfortable...and this place was crawling with her kind and more.
Laughing as Banks pointed out that this was the place he tended to have the most fun, Kodi's head bobbed appreciatively as they turned back towards him. "I respect that, honestly. This is a pretty cool place. You might find me around here more often than elsewhere." But grabbing the rest of the band, or whomever Banks thought would be good company, to explore the town (with drinks) sounded like a good way to spend the afternoon and evening, too. Kodi wanted to know what made Raven's Peak into the place that it was. Even if she wasn't planning to hunt anyone who lived here (necessarily, anyway), she couldn't help her curiosity.
"Listen, I love everything about that plan. Let's do it," they said as they marched over in Banks's direction and held out a hand to drag him along on the adventure.
END.
As Ria looked at Banks, she could see that it was something that he'd been struggling with for a long time. Knowing what she knew now, a lot of things about him suddenly seemed to make sense. She wanted more than anything to be able to help him somehow, but it just wasn't possible. So, she would just have to keep making sure that he knew that she was always there, no matter what.
"I'm always going to worry about you. But, if you promise me you won't go out looking for more trouble, I won't handcuff you to the couch or something." She said with a slight laugh, trying to lighten the mood a little. She would've felt better if he stayed, but she wasn't going to force him. Ria trusted Banks, and so she would let him go and just check up on him in the morning.
"Go home, get some sleep, I'll text you in the morning, okay?" Ria looked at him with a small, warm smile. "And if you need anything, you know where to find me."
END.
END.
Even though Banks had said that he wanted this, a part of Ria was still worried. But, when she kissed him and he pulled her closer, any worries that she had disappeared. It had been a long time since she'd felt like this about someone, and she hadn't expected the next person she felt this way about to be Banks, but now that it was happening, she could imagine is being anyone else. They knew each other, they'd seen the good and the bad, and it had only brought them closer. Ria could see Banks being the teammate, the partner, that she needed. And this moment with him, in the place that had been a safe place for the both of them, it was as close to perfect as Ria could hope for.
She had spent hours thinking about their kiss from the night before, wondering if it was a fluke. But, then she remembered that Banks had seen it before it had happened, he'd been worried about getting in the way of it. But it had been him. He had seen the two of them together, and she couldn't help but feel like it was somehow fated.
Ria smiled as Banks said again that he wanted this, that he wanted all of it. "I do too." She said, then kissed him again. Moving her arms to wrap around his neck, she pulled herself closer, enjoying every second. "I want all of this." It still felt selfish to say, but she was beyond caring now. It had been a long time since she had done something selfish, something for herself, but this felt like it was more than worth it. Touching the tip of her nose to the tip of his, she let out a small laugh. "Does this mean you'll finally ask me out on a real date?"
"You want a real date? You don't just want to awkwardly fumble around this feeling in the warehouse with me?" He joked lightly, though there was a hint of something else underneath his words as he knew it wasn't something that he wanted to fumble. Not even a little bit as she pulled herself in closer, wrapping his arms around her waist and breathing out gently. If they continued like this, Banks knew that he could get used to it eventually even if there were so many doubts in the back of his mind. All of them circulated around himself; that he wouldn't be good enough or that his inability to control his powers would be the end of everything before it even started.
But he kept it in his head for the moment, not wanting to let it take the lead again when they'd only just gotten through the last beat of self doubt. With her arms around his neck, feeling the weight of her against him as he wanted to pull her up and into his arms and hold onto the moment for as long as he could - nothing else would be able to top that. But a real date meant something real, something more than anything else that he'd given himself for years.
Fear had kept him in disbelief for as long as he could remember, even when he felt love there was always something that told him that they'd be better off without him messing things up. But Ria had seen him at some of his lowest points, and had never made him feel like anything other than important and that things mattered. He wanted to make her feel the same way. "I can do that," he managed to get out around a small chuckle as he pulled back only enough to meet her eyes. "Ria Nunez, would you like to go out on a real date with me?" There was no maybe there. No doubt. No nothing but the desire to want this and them, choosing her again in the moment and holding onto it.
Jensen: Yeah, a bearded dragon Jensen: We can buy it a little cowboy hat Jensen: They are pretty good pets, very docile pets and loyal

Backpack of supplies, heart beating a little faster than normal when she got the text from Cricket asking for some assistance— she was worried. Not that Lydia wasn't friendly, or didn't extend her knowledge, she made it pretty clear outside the hospital she was no one's caretaker but her dogs. So it took a lot for someone to ask her for help. Her knuckles hit the door in a few strokes and she steps back to wait for Cricket to answer, fingers playing with a loose string on her duffle bag.
They didn't know what to do anymore. Not that Cricket had ever had a clue about what was wrong with them, but it was getting worse after the night at the masquerade. They'd practically attacked someone else, marking them both in the process, and felt a unnerving sense of dread that bubbled underneath the surface. Or maybe it was their own fears about the way the magic had reacted to someone it had taken as a threat. So faced with limited options, and marks that looked like scars all over their body, Cricket texted the one person they hoped could help explain something. Or help get rid of the marks. Cricket heard the knock and the sense of dread was overwhelming, answering it quietly and stepping back so no one outside of the apartment would be able to see them except for Lydia.
she lay, still, for a few moments more as her mind struggled to keep up with whatever just happened - that stranger had lashed out with magic, instead of just hitting tallulah back. that's all the blonde could parse, dazed, hands on fire and slowly she pushed up off the floor to a half-lean.
the crackling as still in the air, her own blood still humming and clearly ready for round two of whatever was happening, knowing that the other was feeling the same way. both of them burdened with a power than hungered more than they in that moment.
tallulah held out a palm, pale skin now shocking white from each fingertip down, raised as if scarred and then immediately healed afterwards.
"try it again," there was a warning though, tallulah's voice sounded...off, an echo to it, unnatural. "and i won't hesitate to cause real damage,"
cricket stared at the other's outstretched hand, seeing the marks left there by the darker magic that lay within them as they glanced down at their own blackened hands. marks ran up the length of their arms, tangled with the tattoos as they overran and left behind scars of old wounds that hadn't existed before moments from them. they had no idea what just happened, only that their entire body felt as if it had been seared with a flash of pain that was gone, leaving behind the echo of an earlier anger and darkness.
it was still there. cricket could feel it as it hummed underneath the surface as if daring the other to come close once more, or demand that cricket close the distance themselves. but all they wanted to do was get away, even as eyes fell on them from a wordless crowd that started to gather in the aftermath of the danger that emitted from the two of them. "help," they croaked out, but their vocal chords were shot as if burned as cricket tried to speak and found nothing working.
the only thing that responded was another crackle of magic under the surface that peeked out at the other's warning, taking it as a threat while cricket tried to move away from the other.
"Well then maybe I need an excuse to dress all fancy for you." She laughed, knowing full well she didn't need that either. Being in his arms was always like a dream come true, the two of them always coming back to each other eventually. And they both had a special knack of finding the other when they truly needed it -- like they both could sense that it was their time together again. Adelaide never cared how long they were away from each other because this right here? This always made it worth it. She was spun around again and once again she laughed until she was buy his side. "As much as sometimes I love the chase between us, I have to say there is absolutely nowhere else I want to be tonight. Call me selfish but I intend to take up all the time with my husband and I don't care who gets upset over it. We deserve it."
"All that matters is you, darling," he spoke, rushing the hair behind her ear that'd fallen forward as he smiled while pulling her in close once more. Even in the span of time that existed when they were apart, Rowen knew that it was nothing compared to the moments they stole for themselves. A time that existed only to them in and out of the world, as he moved them carefully through the dancers until they had a quieter spot all to themselves. "You, us, and the moments we get to call our own without anyone else. I have so many stories to tell you, places I want to share with you, but every time I see your face, all I want is to spend my life memorizing it so that I will never be able to forget any inch of you," he added with a slow smile as he leaned to steal one chaste kiss.
There was something about the man that seemed familiar. Not in the sense that they'd met before, but just the vibe that Kai was getting from him. "Are you one of those originals? Y'know, the ones that were around when everything went down up at the peak?" He asked, glancing sideways at the older man. "The way you're looking at Addie tells me you're not a Moretti, because that would be weird. So, I'm gonna take a guess and say Morgrave?" The Ravenlock and Krauss lines hadn't been cursed with immortality, so he was sure he couldn't be one of those. Sure, he could've been a descendant, like Kai was himself, but there was something about the way he spoke that gave Kai the impression that he'd been around for a long time.
"Well, I can't argue that." The man was right. No amount of alcohol could fix the problems that Kai had caused for himself lately, and it could only make him forget about them for a short time. No matter what he did, they would always be there, waiting for him when he sobered up. "To being warm inside and shit." He nodded, then took a sip of his drink.
Rowen tried not to smirk, but it escaped him at the thought of being a Moretti. He had argued for it, but in the end, Adelaide prevailed as she'd been the one to become a Ravenlock on a single piece of paper. "It most certainly would be weird considering the history we have shared," he mused with a slight chuckle before he shook his head. "I would not be a Morgrave either, but that's not without them trying at one point." Noah had been the one to turn him, regrettably a decision that he grappled with even to this day, but Rowen pushed that elsewhere for the time being. The present moment was meant to be spent with Adelaide but however being in Raven's Peak made that increasingly difficult to keep the past and present separate. "You seem to know a lot about things that I wouldn't suspect was common knowledge?"
Or perhaps that had been a change that he missed out on in his absence, choosing to immerse himself in the rest of the world than linger here at any point over the centuries. "Rowen Ravenlock," he answered the other's question eventually before he took another sip of his drink.
text || Banks and Jensen
Jensen: Can we get a pet? Jensen: Maybe a lizard? That will be cute
Banks: A lizard? Banks: What are we going to do with a lizard?
Any of the embarrassment and fear that she had been feeling when Banks first spoke was almost completely gone. He wanted this too, and he was saying that he wanted it, and he wasn't running away. Everything about what was happening was so new, and Ria couldn't help but smile. She'd been waiting a long time for something good to come her way. What she hadn't realised was that it had been right in front of her this whole time. It had been him the whole time.
Ria took one more step towards him, closing the gap between them, and reached out to place a hand on his arm where there was a barrier of clothing for protection. "So, I want this, and you want this. So I guess that means we're gonna give this a try then, huh?" She looked up at him with a smile and gently squeezed his arm. All she wanted to do was kiss him again, to renew that feeling from last night.
"If you didn't make mistakes, you would be too good to be true. So, I can handle that. I'll probably make mistakes too." It was almost a guarantee. Her other hand, covered by the sleeve of her oversized hoodie, moved up to touch his face. "I'm glad to hear that. You have no idea how glad I am to hear that. I've been driving myself crazy all day."
Unable to take it anymore, and unwilling to stop herself, Ria pushed up onto her tiptoes so that she could kiss Banks again. Just like she had hoped, that spark from last night was still there, that same feeling of pure happiness washed over her, and she welcomed it, smiling against his lips.
He couldn't guarantee anything, not when his obvious choice was often to pull away and walk before anyone else could see him the way that he saw himself. That there was nothing worth sticking around for, not even after the night that had left him reeling with all the possility of wanting more with Ria. She moved slowly, but carefully as she reached out for him and he could see the calculated moves to keep anything for interferring. It was always going to be there in the back of his mind, but for once Banks didn't want to let it take over completely.
If anything, all he wanted was to stay in the moment from the night before where nothing and no one could touch either one of them. There hadn't been the thoughts of all that he would do wrong, or how much of him gave up on the good before he had a chance to even acknowledge that it might have been good for him. All he knew was disappointment and guilt, pushing back against anything that came into his life so that it wouldn't get tainted by him being there.
But that night with Ria, he hadn't felt or thought any of it from the moment her lips were pressed against his own as it quieted the voices and left him breathless and alone with the want to hold her close. Not just then, but more than that. Even though he knew in the back of his mind there was going to be the fear and hesitation, Banks couldn't help the way that he was rendered speechless when her covered hand touched his cheek.
"I want this," he whispered against her lips, hitching a breath at the slightest of hesitation that he might not be there with her, but let it go as quickly as she kissed him as his arms wrapped around her waist and pulled here against him. Nothing was going to take this from him, from them, not when it was clear they both wanted to explore what had happened the night before. "I want all of it."
