She nodded. She liked those too, so definitely would be getting those for them both.

She watched him put in his number into her cell, watching the way his fingers moved so gracefully over her screen.

Once her phone was back, she looked at the number and started to type out a little text.

"Well, now you have it." She said, sending the text to him, a smile on her lips. "I don't normally give my number to people I've just met, but... i feel really comfortable with you." She told him "I hope you don't think that odd." She said softly.

At his question "Well, actually, Blue Slushies too. I don't tend to drink them often, only when I see a movie. I also love Sour Patch kids" She said. "And of course the classic popcorn, but I love the mx of sweet and salt." She told him.

[overthinkingmuses]

Hearing his phone beep Vincent checked the text message she sent, and saved Julianna's contact details to his phone. He tried not to long too long at the soft expression on her face, though Vincent had a feeling his own features began to match hers as he leant forward to hear her. "Not at all," his hand almost reached across the table to hold hers till he reminded himself that this was their first meeting. By chance as well, not a set up. "I almost didn't ask about sharing the table, I'm glad I did." Vincent was delighted to hear she also enjoyed blue slushies, and snet back a smiley emoji so Julianna knew he'd received her message without a problem. "I'm with you on the sweet and salt popcorn, not so much the Sour Patch kids," he grimaced faintly. "I loved them as a kid, but indulged in too many and burnt my tongue. That's how I learnt about the citric acid they use to make the sour - not that I have a problem with anyone else eating them," he added quickly. "Have as many as you like. Well, obviously not too many at the same time." Vincent mentally facepalmed. "Random question, what's your opinion on someone who brings their kid to a movie the parents know the kid is not going to like and gives the kid a tablet to play on during the film?" That had been his experience the last time he'd been to the cinema, but since the sound hadn't been on he hadn't got any staff involved. The light from it, however, had been a bit distracting.

[mentalitynotes]

He stepped inside still a little awkward and unsure about what he was doing but he was kinda excited about getting to hang out with someone he wasn't investigating or had any need to be there for other than just to be there.

"Yeah, for the job. My sister is the one that pulled me into all this when I retired from music." He rubbed the back of his neck, it was a long story one that was in all technicallity public record but most of it he'd had his PR team then bury. Luna's hell didn't need to be all over the tabloids.

[overthinkingmuses]

Esme was doing her best not to focus on a celebrity - okay, former celebrity - being in her home. Instead trying to recall whether the rooms downstairs looked somewhat presentable to a new guest. A friend, don't get hung up on his looks she reminded herself. "The kitchen is straight through here," she moved towards it, realising she'd have to get him a drink before she got rid of the onesie. "Is it just the two of you working together?" Esme wasn't sure which topics other than his job Lawrence would feel comfortable talking about so she was sticking to that for now.

[mentalitynotes]

"Telekentic magic has always been a harder one. There are few that are truly gifted with that and often are some of the most logical people. More focused and less emotional." She gave him a smile that was one she even struggled with. Elaine chuckled and nodded a little, "When I was much younger, yes. I have a pretty good handle on it now, I only loose control when something seriously bad has happened."

[overthinkingmuses]

In a way it made sense that people with telekinetic powers had to be careful with their emotions - otherwise things would be flying all over the place everytime a user was in a bad mood. Vincent almost voiced that perhaps it was a perk to his powers that he didn't need to worry about causing damage, then realised that wasn't a smart thing to say. "Have you seen a lot of the different kinds of powers out there?"

[mentalitynotes]

"Well color me flattered.." She chuckled a smile on her lips, she was glad he chose to stay with her for food at least. He was so incredibly sweet to help and then also to stay.

"I'm fine, Tej really. I promise." Her ankles were a constant victim of her somewhat clumsy nature so she was unfortunately very used to this. "Okay so now that i'm not falling and hurting myself, tell me about your job! I'm so curious! I mean firefighters have to do so much!"

[overthinkingmuses]

He didn't mind fussing over her, especially when the colour her cheeks turned almost matched her lipstick. Tej was a little reluctant not to do more to help with Dalia's ankle but he moved back, "At the firehouse naturally there's a lot of a drills. A lot, a lot, like ladder drills and rescue techniques, equiment maintenance, cooking meals together- I realise it might sound boring," he shrugged his shoulder as he spoke, "but having those kind of things helps the balances out the intense moments. Was a Firefighter ever something you wanted to be as a kid?"

[overthinkingmuses]

With every footstep it felt like each muscle that had to be used to move his body ached. Knight training had been extra tough today, and he had a dent in the helmet tucked under his arm to prove it. Unfortunately for him he only had one suit of armour, so the helmet as needed to be fixed asap. Vincent doubted the meagre amount of money that jangled in his pocket would be enough to cover the mend, but he was hoping a promise to the pay the extra after the next tournament would work. He hesitated outside the Blacksmith's with a decent reputation, wondering if he'd be laughed out of the shop, then took a deep breath to steady his nerves and walked inside. "Excuse me? Hello?"

Vincent hadn't seen her face, but he thought he recognised the gait. It wasn't a lot to go on, but then a few faint trails of perfume she left in her wake left him reached his nose and left the young knight with a gut feeling that it was Princess Seraphina creeping out of the castle. Really he should call his commander, but he was curious about where she was going; so (believing he was well trained enough to handle any trouble that might cross their paths) instead of stopping her curiosity made him follow her at a slight distance.

"Not all, in truth the ones here and at the Hollows we all grew up in a place that's full of magic and wonder so shifters are pretty normal there. Nothing crazy. I know a guy that just shapes shifts into anyperson. But those are rare. Shifters like me that take animal forms are more common so it's not weird or anything." She rested her elbow on the bar almost sighing whistfully for a place she could visit anytime she pleased.

"Earth seems to be weird like that," She pursed her lips in thought, "But we're trying to help fix that."

[overthinkingmuses]

"I think that's a good idea, fixing things between beings with similar traits" Tristan nodded. "Hoping there will be a time that humans and supernaturals will be able to live side by side?" He knew it was a controversial question with how unpredictable humans were towards things that were different to them.

[technopathicredhead]

"That is a thought" She mused, though mostly she was just wanted to spend as much time with Tristan as she could after he'd been gone for so long. "April 11th is the date of the ball, so we've got a bit of time to get everything together."

[overthinkingmuses]

"Call me whenever you need my help," he kissed the top of her head. "Thing are pretty slow for now, though my summer may be busier. Are there any more of these types of events then? I'll go with you to those too if you like?"

[entangledmuses]

She was still so new to the abilities, what with them passing to the next leader of the tribe only when the previous died, and her Grandmother had only recently died. But what made it worse... she didn't know anything about the tribe, seeing as they disowned her parents.

So it was only when they were activated, and she hurt someone, that she had to figure out what the hell was going on with her.

She had spoken a little with the tribe, but she didn't want much to do with them, considering they abandoned her family.

"I would worry I would hurt you, I feel its safer to just... be alone, where the only person I can hurt is myself." She told her friend.

[overthinkingmuses]

"I can teleport away?" Esme offered, "sometimes it feels like my powers can detect danger before it hurts me and gets me out of there." She wasn't sure Tallulah would be convinced. "The other option..." Esme hesitated before continuing. "You may not like to hear this, but if you want to be trained well and safely, it seems to me like you might need help from the tribe.

Yes, the one that turned its back on her family - Esme wasn't sure how good of a method trial and error was in the long run. She braced herself in case the suggestion was met with an annoyed response.

[mentalitynotes]

"Hmmmm, well I can't think of anything right now.... maybe make you deal with the next spider that shows up in the fire station? Cause I sure as hell am over it." She skipped a little, "Ohh I could make you buy me dinner. What would you want me to do? If you won?" Maybe that would give her a better idea but for now this was fun.

[overthinkingmuses]

The little skip she did was too cute; if Tej was more confident he might have reached for her hand to turn her in a little spin. "The dinner sounds much more enjoyable than catching and releasing spiders," Tej said as he considered his options. He would have done it without the bet if she wanted, he always enjoyed any time he spent with Adella.

For a fleeting second his mischevious side almost appeared as he considered the options for what he'd ask from Adella. Keep it reasonable he reminded himself. "Don't worry, I won't make you catch any spiders," he teased with a gentle nudge. "Maybeeeeee, go to a ballet or opera?" He figured she might find those things boring so it wouldn't give away him wanting to spend more time with her.

[entangledmuses]

Grace loved having him there, it made life less... lonely. Having him in her space didn't feel like she was being crowded, or being invaded. It made her feel like she was at peace, and safe, and like she could do anything.

It was funny how he had that affect on her. No one else did.

Just him.

As he started to reel off the food he was planning on cooking, her stomach let out a small growl. Ok, she was hungry.

She shook her head at his question. "No... no it sounds perfect." She smiled at him. "Lets get shopping so we can come back and eat, I think my stomach is protesting that its not partaking in that feast already." She chuckled as it let out another growl.

[overthinkingmuses]

Usually Tristan avoided exes like the plague, but there was something about Grace that had him seeking her out - even if it was just as a friend. If she ever changed her mind about that though... He enjoyed her company regardless, she at least paid more attention to him than his looks. He smiled when she did, pleased that she didn't sound put off by the meal the sound her stomach made was actually kind of adorable. It took all his will power not to put his arm around Grace's shoulders after he moved to stand next to her. "So how's this inter-webs thing going? Are people still taking pictures of people they don't know on the street just to put it on a computer?" Part of the reason he'd been sticking to the sea more, the invasion of privacy was jarring.

[mentalitynotes]

"I see, that makes far more sense. I'm sorry that you didn't get much of an introduction that you should have." He rubbed his temple a little bit that would explain why they hadn't heard anything in a while. "Typically, reapers stay reapers. They dont usually choose to be done and when they do they let us know. So you can imagine my surprise when I ran into you."

"Would you like a proper introduction to being a reaper? You can meet mother and some of the others. And if you've had questions before you can possibly get answers."

[overthinkingmuses]

She could feel slight tension along her back which forced her to sit up straighter while she focused on what Anders was saying. Concern that she might not be able to stay after all was in the back of her mind, followed by an impulse to disappear.

Would you like a proper introduction to being a reaper?

Her jaw almost hit the table, and she spoke before her brain properly engaged or processed the offer to meet his mother. Death. The Death. Her hand reached out to grab his like she thought Anders might disappear before she could give him an answer. "Wait, I'm not in trouble?"

[mentalitynotes]

"Uh phone actually a great idea I think." He gave her a his phone with a smile. "We can um grab coffee maybe there's this really cute cafe nearby." God he's so awkward. Despite his age he really isn't good at talking to people, that had always been Hadley. Maybe she'd walk him through a couple of options for what to wear and ...ya know... how to talk to her. "Plus I'd like to get to know you more.."

[overthinkingmuses]

Tessa let her fingers gently brush over Alistair's as she took the phone he offered. She wanted to assure him that there was no need to be nervous, she was still the same being from before they'd kissed, but was worried he might feel embarrassed.

"Coffee works for me," she nodded while tapping her number in as a new contact. She looked up to make eye contact with him, "I'd like to get to know you more too," saving her number and double checking it was on the list Tessa passed the phone back to him.

"Which time works for you?" She was carefully avoiding asking which coffee shop he was thinking of in front of Emery just incase anyone thought of spying on them. "You don't seem like much of a morning person, but I've been wrong before," the comment was meant to be a gentle tease.

[mentalitynotes]

"Yeah, it's a long story but they're all a lot of us had at the time so we stayed pretty close." He didn't think going to the varied and painful history with her just yet. That felt a little too heavy for this meeting amd he was enjoying it too much.

"Only sometimes but not as much as I used to!" He chuckled at the little joke. "I have a kid she's, god she's nearing 12 now. So when I'm not at home with her I come here. Sometimes she comes with if it's not a school night. Her names Halina, she's with my friend Eudora, their having a girls night and my best friend decided that meant we had to have a boys night." He looked around for Atlas who had disappeared.

"He's disappeared again.... typical."

[overthinkingmuses]

Hearing him play along with the joke got a delighted laugh from her, though she tried to cover how surprised she was to hear he had a kid. "A twelve year old?" Esme's look turned slightly sceptical, even though Alarick had practically lit up as he spoke about Halina. "You do not look old enough." When he looked way Esme's expression dropped a little, slightly disappointed that having a child meant he might have a partner, but she could do just friends. "Well I'm glad I didn't ruin your boys night out by accidentally pulling you into a fight," she finished her drink, then glanced in the direction of the guys that had cornered her earlier. "I think the coast is clear if you want to find your friend," she offered. "Those men seemed to have dispersed now." She didn't want to hold Alarick back from the night he'd planned to have.

[entangledmuses]

She could honestly look into those eyes forever, they were so mesmerising. And when he spoke, they would seem to sparkle.

"Ultra Lux seats? now you sound like you are just trying to spoil me." She smiled. "But nothing wrong with comfort." She smiled at him.

"You're paying for the seats, the least I can do is pay for the snacks. Though, if there is something that you really like, let me know." She said. "Ok. So.. probably best to exchange numbers right?" She said, reaching for her bag and pulling her cell out. She unlocked it and pulled up contacts and handed it to him.

[overthinkingmuses]

"It's not a snack, but I am quite partial to those blue slush puppies," he liked how the frozen drink felt like it fizzed on tongue even though it also turned his tongue blue. He wiped his fingers on the napkin before accepting her phone to enter his number. Julianna's gentle, friendly nature was very charming; it was rare for him to feel the start of a connection, either friendship or otherwise, so soon after meeting someone. Vincent was acutely aware that the potential for him to be over enthusiatic and accidentally ruin things was high so he wasn't going to ask for her number. "I'll have your number when you text me," he said handing back the phone. That way whether they actually met up or not would be up to her. "How about you? Is there any thing cinema food or drink wise that you absolutely have to have with you?"

[mentalitynotes]

"I love the sea." She chuckled a little as he spoke, "What do you like to photograph? Or is just kinda what ever?" Erydia rested her elbows on the table and her chin on to her palms seemingly fully focused onto him. Him being a photographer was interesting, she was becoming more and more interesting.

"Well apart from that of course." She chuckled, "But normally I'm a part of the Navy. I pretty much grew up on the ocean. That was why I knew you weren't a fisherman, You just don't give the right vibe you, know?"

[overthinkingmuses]

He smiled gently in response to the sound of her laugh, Tristan already felt very relaxed in her company. "Usually nature, purely because it's more of a solo venture so when I have to be away there's less excuses to give." Also his animal side tended to be a wavelength actual animals seemed to connect with. Like they knew what he was just by looking at him. Tristan found himself mirroring Erydia and leaning in a bit more as he spoke, the way she watched him sending his pulse a couple of beats faster. He was intrigued when she mentioned being a part of the Navy, and would have asked what her role was, however the comment about her not getting fishermen vibes from him was amusing. "What kind of vibes do fisherman give?"
