@sangu1no texted: where are you??

a green text box appears on julien’s phone.

[text: julien] julien dearest, i had the strangest run in with occtis tachonis earlier. i may have roughed him up a bit. in fairness, he was stalking me. but that is beside the point. he did relay to me some pressing news. some of his family are in town. this has, understandably, caused me to worry which is why i am now at home. i do not think anyone followed me. all my love, aranessa.

thirty seconds later, another message appears.

[text: julien] where are you?

when julien opens the door to their haven, nessa is already reaching for him. it is a desperate sort of reaching, as if she hadn't thought he'd come back, as if she had thought he might have met the final death. it is very unlike her. nessa who is kind but reserved always keeps distance between them. just in case. but that rule is broken as she buries her face into his shoulder, arms wrapping around him in a hug. AS IF THAT COULD FIX ANYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED, YOU TREATING HIM LIKE A CHILD.

" i'm so glad you are okay. " her voice is muffled, but relieved. DON'T GIVE HIM THAT BULLSHIT. HE ALMOST RUINED YOUR PLANS BY ENDING FRONS. IT IS YOUR RIGHT TO ADMONISH HIM FOR IT. she pulls away, lips pressed into a thin line. there is a small smudge of something red at the corner of her right eye, as if she has been crying. " come sit down and we can talk about what happened. "

@sangu1no gets a starter!
