Text || Elle & Paolo

Elle: Slow, which I'm surprisingly loving.

Elle: It's comfortable.

Elle: How are you?

Paolo: That is surprising.

Paolo: And that's even more surprising.

Paolo: You know, school. Eat. Sleep. The usual.

Paolo: How are things?

Text from Cosimo: Thanks again for last week

Text: You’re welcome. Though gratitude is hardly necessary.  How are you feeling?

Text: Slightly better than complete shit? ;)

Text: Everyone at work kept looking at me like I had two heads when I finally went back since I guess I’m not one for sick days.

[paolo-capulet]

Text: That’s it. Think positive.

Text: They’d have looks of horror if you’d went in before you were supposed to.

Text: Are you still standing?

Text: I am. No worse for wear. Are you?

Text: That’s good.  I am, I was safely tucked up at the Estate the whole time.

[paolo-capulet]

[Text] Thank goodness. While I’m no worse for wear, I certainly saw enough of it to know not everyone was as lucky.

[paolo-capulet]

Text from Elle: I swear to all that is holy if this fucking text doesn't go through I am stealing a police car to come find you.

Text: I’m fine. No worse for wear. Just got caught in the thick of it. Are you okay?

Text: I’m sure those muscles came in handy. Who were you with?

Text: I’ve got a nasty looking bruise on my hip and a few scrapes on my knees, but nothing bad. I really am okay. I promise.

Text: A friend and a friend’s friend? Or maybe he’s my friend now. Shared trauma and all that.

Text: Okay. Mateo is okay too?

elle-capulet‌:

Text: You know how I worry about you. If anything had happened to you…

Text: Good. Stay there for awhile. Mateo’s alright. We’re both scraped up but nothing major.

Text: And you know I worry about you. But I’m fine. I threw a punch, scowled a lot and made it through the crowd pretty unscathed. Which is more than I can say for my companions.

Text: Scraped up? How banged up are you? Do you need anything?

Text: Thank God. Send me a picture so I know for sure you’re okay.

Text: I’m alright. Home now, with Mateo. And minus a new pair of heels.

[paolo-capulet]

Text: You can trust me. I’m fine.

Text: I’m home finally. It took a bit. But home. Mateo is okay too?

“I can’t help but agree… but when teaching resumes, is there some sort of plan for Daisy? Or do you think things will be okay by then?”

“I’m hopeful that it is cleared up by then...but I’m sure they will find someone to replace me if it isn’t. Lord Ty and Leo seem to be taking it very seriously.”

Text from Cosimo: Did you change your gym time?? Are you avoiding me??? :(

Text: Of course I’m not avoiding you. School started. So no more morning gym.

@cosimo-medici

[paolo-capulet]

cosimo-medici‌:

Text: You know I’m a bit hurt you didn’t tell me you were switching your gym schedule prior— I thought I made a good spotter for you, but I must be pretty replaceable too. :P

Text: I mean, you did call me a Princess.

Text: Seriously though, I apologize. Between security and going back to school, time just got away from me.

“Exactly,” Megan sighed.  “Pippa helpfully informed everyone and Lord Ty was pretty mad although I don’t think I made it any better when I got pretty angry at his reaction.  Carlo….Carlo was upset but I think confused.  He didn’t seem to understand why I hadn’t told him but I don’t really see how you tell your current boyfriend that you are going to visit your ex-Dominant who is in prison charged with murder.  It wasn’t really a conversation I remotely considered having.”

Paolo sighed. “I guess..I get why you might not want to tell him. But...that’s a big thing to hide, you know?” He wanted to be supportive and yet, if someone hid that from him he would be upset. “So you got angry with Lord Ty? I can’t imagine that helped anything”

[paolo-capulet]

[Text] Paolo! It's been far too long. How are you doing, friend?

[Text] It’s good to hear from you Drew. I’m doing well, how are you?

@drewcapulet

[Text] Would this evening be too short notice? I will be assisting someone in enrolling their child in the Verona school system and I’d like to figure out if I should look into a private school for the child. It’s important that we get him enrolled as soon as possible, so if we speak this evening, I can discuss with his father and hopefully get him settled into a school routine by Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

[Text] For you, of course not. I’m happy to help. I promise to provide unbiased advice though to be sure I am a fan of Verona’s public school system. But I am aware that sometimes circumstances demand something different. Should I come to the house? Or?

Paolo waved off her gratitude. “It’s not silly. Not at all.” No one should have to live that way. “You’re on.” He gave her another quick hug. Hopefully Leo or the Watch figured this all out soon so Daisy could go back to feeling safe>

“Ok so then uh I guess I’ll get to work!  Let me know if you need anything from me,” she beamed before grabbing a linen apron and securing it around her form.
