noelle was the type to caught up in her own work and today was no different.

in her workroom, the deep-blue liquid steamed and occasionally some of it splashed out, landing on her clothes.

she grabbed a ladle and starting to scoop small portions into the glass vials across from it.

her hands were steady but the sound of someone knocking on her door caused noelle was to jump and spill the liquid onto her book.

the woman cursed and stormed over to the door to who it was that disturbed her.

“ you know, most people would just leave when they see the ‘do not disturb’ sign”.

Athena had been drinking a bit more than she should have been these days. It was enough to make her a little more shaky at work, a little more sluggish. She knew that she had to shape up and figure out what she was doing, otherwise, she would just descend further into this darkness that had opened up inside of her like a pit since the rally that had temporarily stolen her magic from her. She pressed her lips together before knocking on the door to Noelle’s shop, certain that spending some time with the younger woman would help her feel like she was back in control again. 

What was a good thing for her and for the other women in the Knights was that they all could rely on each other. They may have been ruthless in battle, but they were never in battle with each other, and that was the most important thing to Athena. She never wanted to fight with the other women who were part of the boys’ club, she wanted to band together with them. She walked in and set down a cup of coffee on Noelle’s desk. “I do hope you have a moment to chat, my dear,” she said, a crooked smile on her features. Noelle helped her figure out how to appear normal—Athena had never been particularly charming, and Noelle certainly was better at that than she was, so being with her was good practice for when she had to prove it to the world.

noelle looked up from her notes at the sound of athena's voice, she hadn't been expecting a visit from any of the other knights but this was a very welcome surprise.

" of course, i have time. now that i think about it, i might have something for you." she replied, getting up from her desk and reaching into one of the many cabinets that were fixed across the shop's walls.

noelle pulled out a small vial of a pale pink liquid, quickly checking the label to make sure she had the right potion. this particular one was supposed to act as a sort of relaxer that she was personally using herself but was curious to see what effect it had on other people.

noelle turned back to athena, potion in hand. " behold, my latest project; the perfect thing to relieve stress and become even more focused than before."
