Indie was not someone who was a stranger to shitty clients, the last three years had been full of them. Most days the only thing that kept her going was the irony that she was living completely against the beliefs her parents had raised her with, and it was all their fault. Though they'd never admit to it. Probably just pop out another kid to manage their debts after they died. The man she'd been seeing that night was someone who knew them and it was only after she'd finished the job that he revealed that and she was ready to end the session early. "Yeah you don't get to pay for my services and then berate me for my life choices. To go and live, laugh, fuck off, or whatever the saying is." She held open the door, gesturing for him to leave. As he grumbled and left the room she caught sight of a well dressed man, watching the whole interaction. "Can I help you?"

It had taken a long time for her to even come to terms with the knowledge that she was a witch. Poppy had always known that she was adopted. Her parents had never hid that from her, telling her that her birth mother had been a friend they'd loved dearly, but they'd kept the particular secret of what else she was all her life. Apparently it had been her mother's wish to keep the truth from her for her own safety until she turned twenty-one and could make the choice if she wanted to pursue her magic or not.

For years, she hadn't wanted to. It had seemed impossible. In the past few months though, she'd taken more of an interest in it. She'd started researching and trying her hand at tapping into her power. It was like when she added something new to her routine in the gym and worked out a muscle she'd never known was there. There was no denying that she was a natural, but she kept feeling like she was hitting a wall. Something was missing.

Which was why she'd performed the spell in the first place. She'd felt confident going into it. Clearly though, something had gone wrong. Halfway through her incantation, the entire world had turned upside down. When it had righted itself, she was in a forest that she certainly didn't know. Of course, her there was no cell service. Her only option had been to start walking, to hopefully break through and find someone to talk to and somewhere she could get a text or call through. She certainly wasn't going to risk trying her magic again.

"but i like the grabby grabby displays of affection!" it was how she tended to be in relationships and malee figured if they were going to sell it, she had to act authentically. even if it was all just for show, it seemed like the best way to get a reaction. she rolled her eyes and scooted off to just sit beside him, although she did so rather begrudgingly. "how else are we going to sell this?" she asked with a raise of her eyebrows. "we're supposed to be all in looove."

William knelt beside the tide pool with both hands dipped into the cool water, an amused grin on his lips. "Do you really have so little faith in me?" he chuckled softly. "And here I thought we were starting to understand each other. I'm sorry to say that you're married to the boring Everness. Samuel is the prankster of the family. Come on, quickly now," he urged excitement bubbling in his voice. The marquess was holding something just below the surface and motioned for her to put her hands in the water with a nod of his head. A purple tentacle slowly began to creep out from between William's fingers, and soon, a small octopus emerged and tentatively crawled onto her hands. "Have you ever seen a creature like this before?"

BENJAMIN'S PLACE WAS LIKE HER second home. Sari was too comfortable here. Even more comfortable than she was at her own place. She had left a lot of things here as well as clothes. Almost like they were living together. She thought of taking that step but didn't want them to move too fast. She wasn't sure about the right pacing. "I know, right? I would be," she quipped. Heeding his words, she nodded and lazily pulled the blanket underneath the cushions with one hand. Once she got ahold of it, she wrapped herself in the blanket comfortably. "This is nice." She hummed. "You look busy. What are you working on?"

Vanessa shivered as she sat next to the fire. It was a cold night, but that didn’t stop an army from descending on her country. She could still see her castle burning when she closed her eye and hoped with all her heart that the king got away. She looked down at her arm, sucking in a breath as she studied the the bloodied gash there. Something sliced her arm in their rush from the castle. Their spies had underestimated just how close the sorcerer's army was, but when magic was involved nothing was certain. “Ah,” she winced as she waved her hand slowly over the gash. The wound had healed, only leaving traces of blood behind. She sensed eyes on her, and looking up they met the knight who she had hired to protect and escort her in their escape. A small smile took place on her lips. “You should see what I can do when it is a fatal wound.”

         the laugh spooked her at first but she didn’t put much weight on it, not entirely too bought in his relationship with someone else. so they went out on a nice restaurant date together; it was hardly a big deal. not to her, not personally. demure smile appeared across her lips in the midst of chewing and she huffed lightly in a laugh, only to break the sound with a gulp of water once she felt parched. ❝ oh, that’s it. so you just take works of ART on dates, is that it? they have to be a part of a showcase for you to go out with her? ❞ a joke, since she loved giving him more shit than most others. ❝ i was having a drink at the bar area when i saw you walk in with her. i’d been there for a business deal with a potential partner so i didn’t find it particularly appropriate to just waltz up to you either. your train of thought is sound... had i been there on a date to begin with. but no - i’m still happily single. ❞
