Reva witnesses Dimal’s Vulnerability
She doesn’t know how she feels about the sight before, she doesn’t even know how she *should* feel about it. Disgusted? Surprised? Shell shocked? Relieved? Worried? Angered? Suspended in disbelief? Against all odds, filled with a small sense of hope? That maybe, just maybe… If he of *all* people is capable of this amount of change, then she is too.
But what if this is a change for the worst than for better? What if this change has made him softer, weaker- *vulnerable*. What would happen to him if the compass for his sense of morality was taken away or harmed? What would he do? Would he turn back to who he used to be? If he does, did he even really change to begin with? What if he depends so much on this compass, that she pulls him down another path, one different than before, but just as dark?
As she brews up a storm with her thoughts, Reva harshly chews on her straw, staring daggers at the way that Dimal is just so openly… *vulnerable* when he looks at Maketh. As though she’s responsible for hanging the stars in his universe. Or maybe the one who mapped them in a way he could finally understand. Reva has never seen him with that look until this reunion of theirs.
“Rev, unclench your jaw.” Subconsciously reaching up to touch his own jaw, Brasso winces at the amount of pressure the woman is grinding on her teeth. “It’s very terrible for your health.”

The above is very much Yes I Just Wrote This Down It Isn't Edited And Might Not Even Be Permanent But I Really Wanted To Share It.
Been uber-busy and uber-stressed, fighting the clock like you would NOT believe (someone free me from this capitalistic hell where we are forced to fork over the majority of our time to working just to pay bills and have no money) 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Anyway, checking in on our wall and space over here. How are yall doing?
We've been working at work a lot and doing work. Trying to socialize takes a chunk of time and trying to establish routines where we can juggle everything is AAAAHHHHH. But we trying out here.
Alice and Lex are working on trying to get a crow inspired outfit/costume thing put together.
Lex and Dev are putting more work towards an original novel- they hope to have the first rough draft finished by the end of the year.
Lex and I (seth) are putting pebbles towards our SW AUs.
Lilith and Lex are working on a separate og piece as well.
Erm. Let's seee.... Harley and I are trying very hard to establish a more concrete working routine to stick to.
Lex and the femmes have grown our hair out a lot. Im not for long hair, personally, but you know, cant have it all, plus im not the one who takes care of it so. Lexipedia is stuck in the nonbinary crossroad of eother having our hair be super short or grow it out super long. So until a decision is made, its going to be grown out.
When we get our next paycheck, I want to meal prep both spinach&Artichoke Quiche cakes and chicken&veggies burritos (I love a good burrito).
We miss being a barista. We made espresso/Lattes for a bunch of our coworkers this past sunday (because they were having the catering orders from hell- a wedding on Friday, and then two day event, all of which added up to literally hundreds of items).
