        four years. they’d been looking for their tormentors for four years. with no luck. well, when you torture a bunch of lost and helpless kids for over a decade, it makes sense to scatter when those kids are finally able to fight back. made it hard for them to get revenge, though. and her visions had never been exactly unhelpful, but they’d never been outright helpful, either. more like riddles that other members of the group kept her from solving. not this time. this time, she was going to get her answers. he was sitting just where she’d seen him sitting in the dream, same outfit, same pattern on the cup in front of him. same empty seat across from him that she slid into. 

          alright, max, money where your mouth is. ‘ does the name kazek mean anything to you? ‘

@lstratstanding​ liked for a tracy starter !!

“ and here i thought you’d be immensely pleased to see me, but somehow i’m being disappointed instead. if i’d have known about this apparent lack of enthusiasm, i’d have stayed in Singapore with my cousins. ” well, she was dropping by entirely unannounced after an impulse when he didn’t pick up his phone ( even when she knew he was busy with other things ). still, her presence should instantly delight him in her opinion and the lack of such emotion was taken as an offence. tracy had after all abandoned a very fun string of parties in favour of visiting.

@lstratstanding​ liked for a shippy starter ( for tracy )

straddling his lap, her hands found their way to cup his face, a remarkably soft kiss pressed against his lips. “ indulge me, tesoro, and come with me. i’ve only just arrived yesterday night, won’t you spend some time with me first before going back to business? ” tracy had a long track record of trying to seduce him away from his work, to tempt him if only to see how far she could push it. but there were times when it was less to tempt him and more a true desire, an aching need to have a moment with him. just him. “ hmmm? just a couple of hours and i’ll release you back to your important matters. i’m asking nicely, am i not? ”

@lstratstanding​ liked for a constance hatchaway starter !!

“ weren’t you at my second wedding as well? ” constance had a preference for rich men and the rich did not always get their money through legal business alone. frank banks had been corrupt as they come and reginald caine, her newest prey and husband, certainly was no angel either with his export empire. and she had always made it a point to pay attention to everything and everyone, for anything could be used for connections and manipulation. “ don’t get too attached to reggie. he has terrible cholesterol, too fond of good food. ” and if it was up to her, not a month to live. he was a terrible man.

          she had been many things over the centuries. different titles, different roles, different cloaks she wore. eivor of the raven clan. jarl. assassin. now she was a guardian, a wanderer. no matter how much ravensthorpe changed over the years, but she had not. she still saw it as her home, as the town she helped to build from nothing. so, strangers, especially strangers with that familiar glint in their eyes, were eyed with suspicion. despite her efforts, the order of ancients, the templars, had never truly been vanquished. 

          without pretense, she sat beside him, offering a cup of coffee, keeping one for herself. ‘ whatever it is you are looking for in ravensthorpe, stranger, you will not find it. i suggest you move on. ‘
