“Are you having fun?” Kieran asked as she approached Kiara with a silly grin on her face. She was a few glasses of champagne in and the night was going so beautifully. “You look great, by the way.” She hugged her friend when she finally reached her.  @kiaradmarco​

[kiaradmarco]

Kiara gasps the moment she hears her friends voice, covering her mouth as her eyes scan the other up and down contemplating the beautiful bride. “Kieran, you are the most gorgeous bride I’ve ever seen..” She admits, then offering her friend a smile blended in with a giggle. “This place is beautiful and I was telling Teirek earlier on that you must have stolen all my dream wedding ideas, it’s absolutely beautiful!” She comments as she returns the hug. “Thank you, I wanted to look good for your reception but not as good as you, seems like I did a great job!”

[kiaradmarco]

She didn't like this constant thought in the back of her head popping up to sour the great time she was having at her friends' wedding. Eric had told her he would be at the wedding before she could gather the courage to ask him the same thing, and although she told him she would be there, that was as far as the conversation went with that one, leaving her to her paranoid ideas thinking she might have given away a hint of what she had been hiding for so long - her feelings for the man, which was undeniable now considering how it bothered her that he kept avoiding her, but nonetheless terrible as he was her close friend's ex-husband. "Oh -- God." Almost like life laughing in her face, the moment the man pops into her mind once again, he also bumps against her, forcing her to regain balance after pretty much feeling like she bumped against a wall. "Eric -- haven't seen you around, I didn't think this place would make it hard to find you." Taking a sip of her mimosa, it was now starting to become obvious she's had a few too many then, her facade slipping through the cracks as she speaks rather sarcastically.

The reception was going great so far, the food was amazing, the museum looked better than he’d ever seen it, Kieran was glowing with happiness, and they’d finally been able to publicly announce that they had been in the process of adopting from an orphanage in Egypt and they were going to be bringing her home in just a few days.  They’d kept it a secret just in case something fell through, but it was official now and they couldn’t be happier or more excited about this new chapter in their lives. Tereik was having a wonderful time, but there were a lot of people there and he got overwhelmed easily in crowds, so he’d stepped outside for a little while to smoke and take a few minutes to collect his thoughts while he had a few minutes to himself.  Once he felt ready to start socializing again, he stepped inside to get back to mingling with everyone who’d come out to celebrate with them.

After grabbing a drink, he looked around for someone he hadn’t greeted yet and made his way to the closest one he saw.  “Hi,” he said, giving them a big smiled, “Thanks so much for coming, are you having a good time?” 

[kiaradmarco]

Kiara had been to countless weddings before, but she’s rarely rooted for a couple’s happy life together as much as she did for Tereik and Kieran, the latter being a close friend to her. Granted, she didn’t know Tereik all that well and she’d only known him through his now wife, but she was just as blissfully happy to see him as she was to see Kieran. Hazel eyes lighten up when she turns to see Tereik who was undeniably more quiet than most people in the reception. “Tereik, hi! Oh you look great!” She can’t hold the bright big smile she shoots the other, going for a quick hug as a form of greeting. “This place looks beautiful and I’m sure you and Kieran stole all my wedding dream ideas, congratulations! You two deserve a happy and long life together with your daughter, can’t wait to meet her!” She takes a sip of her drink, trying her best to contain how emotional she was beginning to get over the beautiful ceremony and couple.

doc-spence‌:

Spencer had known Kiara for a few years now, her having been one of the first clients he got when he opened his own clinic. When she came by, it was like a visit with an old friend. She barely needed any real introduction, so he wasn’t surprised when she walked right in. Glancing up at her, his face broke into a smile. “Hey Kiara,” he replied. “Oh, Petra, how did you know I was missing you, too?” Reaching for the carrier, Spencer started to unlatch it. “Quiet? Hmmm,” he hummed, brows knitting together slightly. “Has she been eating like normal?“

Kiara smiled at the way Spencer complied with her and went along with the whole made up funny cat story, looking down at the carrier as the other handled it. Picky as her cat was, she doubted she could take her to another veterinarian and hope she wouldn't have her claws out the moment the doctor would handle her. "Thank you for letting me in at the last minute, work has been hectic but I'm also worried about her it's just.." Kiara rubs her forehead, her personal life was adding to the huge ball of stress, but she wasn't about to bore the other with that, even if they've been great friends for a while. "I noticed that she hasn't been finishing her bowl but I figured it was because of the treats I give her on the side.. do you think there could be something wrong with her?" She asked, eyes pleading for good news.

When his boss had sent him to fix a car that had broke down, Rigs hadn’t really expected it to be anything complicated. Getting out of his own car though, it pretty soon became obvious, that he had been wrong. And it had nothing to do with the car. Letting out a sigh and crossing his arms in front of his chest, he already braced himself for some snappy comment that followed just a few seconds later. “Seems like you really do need this!”, he corrected her, leaning against the side of her car und looking down at the brunette with his eyebrows raised, “Unless you thought this was some great place for a picknick or something like that…” Someone else probably could have understood why, even if it had been years ago, she was still mad at him in his opinion he had done nothing wrong. If she had really believed that he would play the perfect boyfriend, it had been her own fault after all.

She would never know how could a person simply get on her nerves by stating the truth, she did need that, she needed him there - and that may be what triggered such a wave of rage to wash over her. She manages to control it by taking a slightly exaggerated deep breath as she looked away for a moment, she was not going to cause a scene years later in the middle of a road when he was now simply doing his job and not her ex boyfriend arguing about how he hurt her and fooled her for a whole year, almost two. "You know what, maybe I did, and that would be none of your business. Did they really not have anyone else working at your shop?" At this point she could not believe her luck, almost impossible not to snap at him every time he opened his mouth to say even the simplest thing. "Can you at least do your job and check my car, please." Considering he was already there, she might as well just rush it all and hopefully forget the encounter ever happened later that day with that much needed drink.

armitagehayden‌:

Hayden laughed at that, nodding in agreement. “He certainly is. Best part? He’s an old friend. And so far the only time he’s gotten on my nerves is when he plays messenger for some of our more pretentious clientele. But he’s great …sometimes.” She joked with a smirk. Now that her boss might finally let her eat with her friend in peace, the blonde’s shoulders physically relaxed as she looked over the menu. “Mm that sounds really good right about now. I think I’ll have that too. Want to split an app or something today?” 

Kiara scoffs in pure amusement. "Only you could ever be great friends with your boss, Hayden.. he is lucky to have you around, pretty sure he owns you a raise." A nod of her head as she makes her point, but it soon became a shake of her head in disagreement with her friend as she frowns. "Oh no we're not splitting it I am paying for it, I rarely see you! We should go on holidays together soon.. we both need it."

Selene frantically drags all the papers from the ground, sighing softly as each one was just as wet as the one before. She glances up when her name is called and then back down to the ruined report. “Hey Kiara. Not the best way to be catching up again.” She says retrieving the other half of papers from the other woman when she hands them over. “These were meant for me. Some homework that I needed to go over before tomorrow morning, but I guess it’s going to be another sleepless night.” She says with a soft sigh, but she smiles once they both stand back up. “How have you been? You look as great as ever.”

While she’s desperately trying to ease her friend’s stress level by giving her a hand and immediately give her a possible solution, Kiara can’t help but gently scoff at her remark. “It feels like this is the only way we meet lately..!” She comments in a light tone, mentioning how busy the two have been even though she’s been unconsciously avoiding the other. “Oh this is just terrible.. If you want I can see if I can re-print this for you? We are two minutes away from my office.” Kiara points in its direction for a moment, searching for a reaction in Selene’s face then. “I’ve been okay, lots of work, you? Oh please, never as good as you.” She offers her a bright smile.

Phoebe Tonkin’s shot face

[korradeflores]

“I am one with the couch, do not move me.” Korra said barely moving her head up. She rolled on her back and sighed,  “I think I might have something” Korra looked at the other with a pained look on her face, she open her mouth then quickly closed it again, finally rolling on a side and hugging a nearby pillow. 

[kiaradmarco]

She’s seen her fair share of people dealing with an hangover in her years exposed to alcohol, but she could count by her fingers the amount of people that ever made her laugh as much as Korra did following a night out with her. “Oh I know exactly what you have..” Kiara scoffs, shaking her head as a light chuckle emerges. “You’ll need a lot of water and coffee and definitely food, Korra..” She decides to take the couch next to her friend as to not disturb her, but her eyes are set on the other.

[kiaradmarco]

Perfect, not only was it being the longest most stressful week, her car had to suddenly add up to it and give up on her as she was commuting to work. Hopefully her insurance wouldn’t take long to allocate a professional that could help her either get her car back or take it to fix it, leaving her no other option but to park her car on the side of the road where it wouldn’t disrupt the traffic and work from her laptop as she waited for them. “You gotta be kidding me..” She mutters to herself when she peaks through the  left rear mirror to see a man she wished she had never met close his own truck’s door and walking towards her car, her heart dropping to her stomach as she forces herself to take a deep breath before she could open her own door to walk into an unavoidable situation. “I really don’t need this -- just please tell me if you have to take the car and make it quick..?”     @rigswinston​

[firefighter-barnes]

Gabriel stretched a little, before he reached down and picked his bag up. He waved to the guys before he left the fire station. He didn’t mind walking home after work, it cleared his mind.  Adjusting his bag a little, Gabriel stepped into a coffee shop and stepped line waiting for his turn.  Gabriel glanced around the place, before he spotted a familiar place in the crowd. Gabriel waved them over, as he stepped forward slightly. “Hey, how are you?”

@atlanta-rpgstarters​

[kiaradmarco]

No matter how busy her days were, Kiara would always find time for at least a good run even if sometimes it would feel like a race against the sunset, and considering coffee was proved to help a lot after a workout, there she was occupying a table in a rather busy coffee shop. “Hello stranger, I haven’t seen you in a while! I’m okay, how are you?” She offers the other a smile before she could take a sip of her coffee, looking up at the man standing in the queue.

[kiaradmarco]

Manticorn, Succubus, Werewolf

Manticorn: What does your muse fear?

( answered )

Succubus: How does your muse view sexuality?

Kiara grew up in a religious Italian-descendant family in New York, but at the same time she grew up with all the rich kids that definitely knew and did stuff their parents couldn’t know about, so she grew up in the middle of the two worlds and she isn’t quite the person to get one-night-stands, but at the same time she’s a free spirit when it comes to it if she’s comfortable with the person then. 

Werewolf: What makes your muse lose control?

If she gets too much in her own head, she will easily go on a downward spiral if no friend is around, which is a danger to her own self..

[kiaradmarco]

Dragon, hippogriff, thunderbird, troll

Dragon: How does your muse connect to fire?

In a less mythical way, maybe in like the aspects of it, definitely. 

Hippogriff: Does your muse have a high level of self worth?

( answered )

Thunderbird: Does your muse value honour?

Look -- she really does, even she feels she hasn’t been practising it at all with one of her close friends.. she feels awful.

Troll: Does your muse have a collection?

Of shoes and bags, definitely! Some things never change!

[kiaradmarco]

Manticorn, Pixie, Sphinx

Manticorn: What does your muse fear?

Losing people that are really close to her!

Pixie: How does your muse tend to get into trouble?

Nowadays she doesn’t get in trouble, it’s something rare, maybe at work if she forgets something/does something wrong!

Sphinx: How does your muse value loyalty?

It definitely is high up there with the things she most values!

[kiaradmarco]

Hippogriff 🦅

Hippogriff: Does your muse have a high level of self worth?

I’d say the average, there are days she hates herself and feels worthless, there are others she knows she’s good at what she does, her self worth has been unstable for a few years now but she always tries to think positive and that includes herself too

[kiaradmarco]

Chimera & Elf

Chimera: Does your muse tend to be aggressive?

Physically? If she has to, she definitely will, although she used to be a lot more careless when she was younger, she has a career and a reputation that she needs to keep, nowadays she believes every fight can be solved with words.

Elf: Does your muse value appearance?

Yes and no? Most people are not blind to an attractive face with nice clothes as that is most people’s first impression, but if she gets to know people she couldn’t care less if you decide to show up in your pyjamas..
