“There’s something inherently holy about kitchens.”

Davina was standing behind Arwyn as they stood in a restaurant, waiting for their chance to order. She had been starving, having had to work way past her normal lunch period. Many people had been stopping by the pharmacy to seek relief from horrible sunburns, and she had been working double time to make enough ointments for the rising demand.

When the other spoke, she looked up at him, widening her eyes slightly. However, she soon relaxed into a warm smile. "With empty stomachs, I am sure it could send you to your knees in prayer." Giggling softly, she gently pushed him forward, motioning for him to go to the register as she teased. "I hope you find religion in your lunch."

moon boy ◈ Arwyn & Hecate

Finally, she had someone from her past that would bring some joy and light hearted moments. Amidst all the chaos the first weeks were, Hecate had the time to properly look for the one demi-god in the whole island she’d smile without guilt to see. Thanks to her patience inability to use technology, finding people could be hectic, however thanks to a couple of chats around town, Hecate found out Arwyn’s second workplace. Having to visit him at The Pits was something she preferred to avoid, to not risk another encounter.

The goddess’s face scrunched subtly looking at the store’s facade, utterly confused of why he worked there. Perhaps just a clerk? The thought slipped her mind as she entered, scanning the establishment for any sign of him but ending up having to ask one of the staff.

In a couple of seconds she was led to the designer area, something that confused her even more but Hecate went along with the situation. Her eyes must’ve be playing a prank or Hecate was looking at an illusion. “Arwyn?” The goddess blinked a couple of times before a chuckle same to the surface, seeing the Demi-God in the middles of paper, fabric and other items from the designers department was something oddly funny. “This isn’t how I’d expect to see you after so long but, well hello.” Hecate spoke as her hand wrapped around him loosely, just enough so she’d feel his warmth and this time she was smiling fondly.

“  for once in your life, what is it that you want.  ”

He looked back at Arwyn confused. Sure, Nathaniel had lived with his heart on his sleeve before, but that was never something he allowed to seep towards his business decisions. “It doesn’t really work that way,” he explained, adjusting his glasses, “You can’t make business decisions based on personal want, but rather statistics and forecast reports.”

“  for once in your life, what is it that you want.  ”

For someone who liked to live on the wild side, Blair had also grown to be cautious of her actions - she had responsibilities after all: for her mother, and for Muffin. “Honestly?” she asked, “Drink ‘til I can’t walk straight, probably bar hop for an entire weekend and break a few windows. But it’s behind me now. Sort of.”

“  what did they do to you?  ”

“Ah, it’s nothing,” she lied, her voice a little shaky after she had hung up the phone, “It was just my grandmère. She gets a bit cross at me sometimes. It’s not her fault though.” Aura had always blamed herself for her grandmother’s scorn, feeling that if she were maybe a little smarter or even talented in any remote way, then she might be more worthy of being part of the family. 

Wiping the stray tear from her eyes, she shook her head and forced a smile to her lips, “It’s okay - really!”

“  can’t you stop running for one second?  ”

He glanced down at the treadmill, noting that the time was still a while off of his daily goal, and shook his head. "No can do, Arwyn," he chuckled, breathing heavy as the incline pulled up, "I have to go an hour cardio training every morning and if I stop now, I'll be late for work. What did you want to ask me? I can talk while I run."

“  don’t look at me like that.  ”

"Hm? Like what?" she hummed, a cheeky glimmer in her eyes as a smile raised the corner of her pink lips, "You see, you're just such a pretty little thing. You can't fault me for wanting to get a better look at you.'

“  what do you see when you look into my eyes?  ”

He raised a brow at the other, wondering what had prompted such a emotional question. Leaning forward, Hwiyoung made as though to gaze right into Arwyn's eyes - his own still and dark - and held it for just a moment too long before leaning back. "Absolutely nothing," he chuckled, the faintest of smirks at the corner of his lips, "And the graphs are fine. There's nothing wrong with your heart."
