Scoffing, Devesh shook his head. “A personal anchor? Grandfather, I thought you knew me better than that.” He took a moment to think before continuing. “As much as I’d like to leave…No, I’d be too upset with myself if I didn’t stick around to witness all the madness that’s bound to happen in this town.” He said. “So…Italy will have to wait for now.”

“Don’t try to lie to me, Dev. It’s not going to work. You didn’t start this conversation simply because you don’t want to miss on this town burning.” Raj gave Dev a pointed look. While the younger Jinn was right, Raj didn’t know him as well as he’d like to, he knew enough. “Tell me or I’ll bring Surya into the conversation--- and we both know how...persuasive she can be.”

Furrowing her eyebrows, Dawn pulled out a compact mirror from her purse and opened it up to check her reflection. “Oh god, I do. That’s so embarrassing.” She used her finger to wipe away the small glob of lip gloss on her face, her cheeks turning a light shade of pink from embarrassment. “Thank you for pointing it out.”

Rajendra nodded, a smirk hinting on his face, though he held back any laughter he had. “No problem. ... Is that stuff really as great as you makeup enthusiasts make it out to be?”

“I used to be humble, I think I might hanging around you and Dimitri for far too long.” He chuckled, taking the bottle from him. “What? Why not? It’s good stuff.”

“Oh, Dimitri is most definitely the entire cause of,” he paused and then gestured in Emmett’s vicinity. “That.”

“I prefer vodka.”

“Oh, no, this has nothing to do with my mother.” Dev almost laughed. It’d been several days since he’d seen his mother and it was nice not to have her breathing over his shoulder. “Well, for one, I live in this town of all places instead of some much nicer place in Italy,” He scoffed. “There’s just a few too many people here and as much as I’d like to leave this place…it seems like my plans have changed to stick around for a while longer.” Dev said slowly, choosing his words carefully.

“Well no one is keeping you here, Devesh. You could easily just take yourself to Italy,” Raj countered, slight confusion clouding his expression. That couldn’t be the only thing keeping his grandson so preoccupied. As Dev continued speaking, Rajendra licked the bottom of his lip. “Unless something really won’t let you leave? A personal anchor?”

“That’s a thing? Yep. You’re either smoking something or immortal. My money’s on smoking something.”

“I’m actually completely sober right now, but I wouldn’t mind a smoke before work if you have anything.”

“so if you don’t care about helping me, why should i care about giving you respect? it’s a two way street, and respect isn’t given, it’s earned. i don’t care if you’re a superiour, or an elder, or the president of the united goddamn states.” in hindsight, dahliana knew she more than likely came off defensive when this interaction started, but how this jinn was continuing to speak to her as if he were to teach her a lesson wasn’t putting her in the greatest mood.

“trust me, i don’t.” she spits of the words off her tongue. oh, did she ever know about people screwing her over and being rude because they didn’t have to be nice. “and i certainly wouldn’t put it past you,” she grumbles.

“Not respect, then. Obedience--- because I could turn you into a puddle of blood with a snap of my fingers otherwise, little girl.” Though his words were gravely serious, he snorted right after. Sure, he wasn’t normally so insistent on being seen as superior --- in fact he often hated it --- but the woman had disrespected him the very first few seconds into the conversation. It would be funny to see how far she went before her irritated words became something more...dangerous.

Down in the Old Oak Forest, a woman is balancing barefoot on the edge of the rocks with arms stretched out to either side Ridley moves slowly, taking her sweet time to make it to the other person who was minding their own business. She has spotted them through the trees not long ago and was more than happy to stumble upon another person in what seemed to be such a desolate place. The rumble of the waterfall could be heard even though it was plenty far ahead upstream and the sound with calming, but she has quickly become bored.

For now, she concentrated on putting one toe before the other, she was doing her very best to not lose her balance because if she fell right, she would land on the sharp edges of rocks and pebbles and if she fell left Ridley would find herself plunging into the cold waters. In this case, she would rather fall on the rocks.

As she becomes within speaking range of the unknown figure and her feet firmly planted on the flat, stable rock, she asks, “Are you in love?”

Rajendra stood barefoot in the running stream, his jeans rolled up past his ankles and his eyes closed. There was just enough sun coming through the newly leafed trees for his bare shoulders to warm up. From an outsider’s point of view, it most likely looked as though the Jinn were doing yoga. His hands were pressed together in front of him, his chin was tipped upwards, though not to the point where his face was fully parallel to the sky--- but really Rajendra simply needed some meditation time. Alone time. He had been standing out there for what seemed to be hours, but was really only a few minutes (though his body was already more than accustomed to the sharp temperature of the water.)

The crackle of rocks and pebbles tapping and crunching under weight wasn’t lost to him, though he didn’t assume it to be another person. He had chosen a remote enough location further up the stream, far enough to where he knew others hardly visited. So it was the voice that startled him into a quick hop-and-turn, brow furrowed. He almost immediately relaxed as his feet touched the ground under the water again. “I’m sorry?”
