“Oh man, yeah, I know all about that.” She nodded, looking down at Vivianne, who seemed to be growing so much every time she saw her even now, and back when she was Serena’s age it was ridiculous, before looking back up at the other. She laughed a little at the example of the child’s feralness. “I’m Tatyana, and this is Vivianne,” She turned back to her daughter, speaking to her in Russian for a second before Vivianne gave a little wave to the other two, “It’s no problem.”

Silas grinned, “It’s nice to meet you, Tatyana.“ He turned his attention toward her daughter, nodding his head and offering a smile, “Vivianne.” His eyes flicked back to Tatyana, “It’s every time I look away. Was just sending a text to her older brother about how fast she’s taken to walking- the grandson is just about the same age, we’re comparing notes. And boom- gone.”

[tatyanashvets]

"Nice to meet you too," She nodded, "Oh yeah, I remember back when Viv was that age, constantly rushing after her because she's decided she wants to go on an adventure." She laughed, it was weird missing out on everything between that and her daughter now seeming to have that sort of stuff mostly figured out, but at least she was there for that, in the end the house was just covered in child gates so she couldn't run too far."

Dean smiled and gave his thanks, quickly grabbing two bumbells so he start his arm routine. As he turned back around to walk off he saw the almost hesitant look on her face. He stopped and gave her a smile, “Do you need a hand with anything?” He wasn’t here with anyone, and he wasn’t in a rush. So if he could help he’d like to.

“Well, I’m trying to figure out where do start today, I’ve only just started actually working out recently so I still don’t really have much an idea of what I’m doing really.” She pulled back up to the rack after he got what he needed, looking over it all, “I know there’s sites with beginner tips but I know I’ve got better upper body strength than most people just starting to work out, so.”

[wakefordante]

He nodded along as she spoke, “Yeah sometimes those beginner guides are too general anyway.” He paused for a second. “We could work out together if you like, more than happy to offer what limited knowledge I have.”

[tatyanashvets]

"They're so general, yeah, I get why they have to be, but," She shrugged, "And then I just don't want to deal with trying to find a good personal trainer, and I don't really need to be that serious anyways." Having different hard limits than most other people made trying to deal with someone without experience with someone like you more than a little scary, she did want to push herself, of course, but who knew if they had any idea how or in which direction to push her.

"That'd be really nice, yeah."

“I have two dogs already, and I live with my brother, I doubt he’ll complain much but, still, common courtesy to give him some say, and the dogs have no real experience with cats.” She explained, the cat was absolutely adorable and she would love to take it in, but really she did have to be realistic about it all, “They have a little kitten room, once they’re certain there’s no health or aggression danger it won’t be an individual cage situation.” She understood the worry, shelters often weren’t great places, not all of them cared about the animals kept there and in the end the goal was to get all the animals out of there so the assumption wasn’t weird.

    common courtesy. the manners this woman had were appalling. margot just desperately wanted someone to take the kitten off of her hands. there wouldn’t be any solid dozing sleep with guilt riding her conscience. what was she supposed to do?? leave the fluff ball on the street?? risk of being hit… or taken by someone who was god awful to it?? the thoughts tensed the muscles in her slender body. “ i should keep it .” blunt. subtle. a final decision. that’s all it took… geesh. margot’s fingers lightly scruffed the back of the kittens ears leading to a purr vibrating against her. “ damnit .” looking into the felines eyes, she melted, cursed. defeated. 

[tatyanashvets]

Yana was a little surprised at the quick decision, though in the end not really. She knew some people had very specific ideas of what a shelter was, and really given her reaction it wasn't entirely out of left field, sometimes emotions did that to a person, even knowing something isn't bad, it just feels bad, and really so long as the other woman was able to care for another cat she wasn't really going to stop her.

"If you're sure," She nodded, "If you ever need any help,"

Silas let out a breathy laugh when the woman caught his daughter, catching up with her. “I need my baby to stop growing up so damn fast.” He said, huffing, a bit out of breath. He scooped Serena up quickly, flipping her around for a moment before settling her on his shoulders, tiny hands grasping into his hair tightly and making him scrunch his face. “Ouch, Serena. Ouch.” He said, reaching up and loosening her grip. “See? Feral.” He offered the woman a smile, finally stopping for long enough to notice the other woman had a child with her as well. “Silas. Serena.” He said, pointing to himself and then to the little girl. “Thank you.”

“Oh man, yeah, I know all about that.” She nodded, looking down at Vivianne, who seemed to be growing so much every time she saw her even now, and back when she was Serena’s age it was ridiculous, before looking back up at the other. She laughed a little at the example of the child’s feralness. “I’m Tatyana, and this is Vivianne,” She turned back to her daughter, speaking to her in Russian for a second before Vivianne gave a little wave to the other two, “It’s no problem.”

   There was a slight pinch of disappointment flushing the cheeks of Margot. On the inside she was pouting. She couldn’t keep this cat, that responsibility wasn’t cut out for her. She was a two household, not a three. Her own feline, Cat, he was selfish- and for her to let another kitten into the house would be something she was sure he wouldn’t get along with. A heavy sigh seeped through her nostrils. “Hm?” It was that moment that pulled Margot from her worrying mind. She desperately needed to uncling this cat from her, she was beginning to become attached herself. “Really?” The other woman’s words seemed promising. After a moment, the reality of a shelter sunk into Margot. “–but won’t this kitten be frightened in a shelter?—lonely?” Gosh, she was sounding troubled. 

“I have two dogs already, and I live with my brother, I doubt he’ll complain much but, still, common courtesy to give him some say, and the dogs have no real experience with cats.” She explained, the cat was absolutely adorable and she would love to take it in, but really she did have to be realistic about it all, “They have a little kitten room, once they’re certain there’s no health or aggression danger it won’t be an individual cage situation.” She understood the worry, shelters often weren’t great places, not all of them cared about the animals kept there and in the end the goal was to get all the animals out of there so the assumption wasn’t weird.

Silas was sat in a park, sun shining down bright, his youngest daughter Serena playing in the grass with a few toys. It had been a nice day- his daughter had just been figuring out walking, toddling along a few steps before falling onto her ass. He had been sending out a text to his son quick, a picture, and when he looked up, he was surprised to see Serena making a beeline toward someone, faster than he’d expected her to be able to move. He scrambled onto his feet- though with one bad knee- it was a slow scramble, “Watch out. Watch out for her! She’s a feral little beast.” He called out.

[tatyanashvets]

It wasn’t often that Yana got a day with her daughter, she had taken that afternoon off so that she could pick Vivianne from preschool, ending up at a parking garage at the other side of the park from the building when she had arrived and realized that there weren’t any parking spots she could actually get out of her car from and there was no real street parking so she had ended up in a garage, now making her way back through the park with Vivianne following beside her, stopping though and taking her daughter’s hand to make sure she didn’t keep going without her when she noticed the other child suddenly making a dash towards the two of them.

“Hey there,” She said to the kid as she made a one handed turn, careful to keep Vivianne’s feet safely away from the other wheel, before looking over at the man with a smile, not actually taking the warning all too seriously, “Do you need some help?”

[tatyanashvets]

[tatyanashvets]

whats the toughest case you've worked on/been a part of?

“I’ve been on quite a few where there simply isn’t too much in the way of good evidence, there was one like that involving a doctor who was very respected by just about everyone he met, so of course he was an arrogant prick, but a very charismatic one. So just proving he’d done anything wrong was quite a task on it’s own but then actually getting anyone to believe it was near impossible.”

[tatyanashvets]

Would you lie to protect a loved one?

“I suppose it would depend on what I would have to lie about, and what it is I’m protecting them from, but I would certainly be more than willing in most situations.”

[wakefordante]

There’s no way in hell that Dean would ever describe himself as an athlete. But he like to try his best to stay reasonably fit. Which is why late at night after a long day at the office he found himself in the gym. It was surpisingly busy for this time. But, what do you expect from the city that never sleeps? He finished up on the treadmill and started walking over to the weights. But there was someone standing in front of the weights. “Excuse me” he tried to get their attention. Noticing they had ear phones he spoke up a little, “sorry do mind if I just..” he trailed of gesturing to the weights behind them.

[tatyanashvets]

It was the third day that week that Yana had worked overtime. She hadn’t really meant to any of the times, she’d simply gotten into a zone and by the time she moved from her desk to get some water or something she was the only one actually left in the office. She texted her brother as she locked up behind her, letting him know, already far later than she should have let him know, that she’d be home late that night. 

She had actually intended that morning to work a short day so that she could go to the gym at an actually decent time, but considering how long it had been since the last time she went and she was really trying to be more healthy in general in the past year or so she decided to go anyways. She still didn’t really know quite what she was doing, but there were some obvious choices once she got to the gym, making the way straight to the weights, trying to figure out where to start when she heard a voice behind her, turning.

“Oh, yeah, of course,” She moved out of way so he could squeeze around her.

 “Hey–” there was little manner. “Hey you!” Jumping up from the bench just outside of her building, Margot began to quickly walk up to the passing person. “Does this belong to you?” By this, she meant the fluffy kitten she held in her hands. “Is it yours?” She asked again desperate to rid of the meowing cat. It had been following Margot for the last forty-five minutes. She couldn’t stand the figure eights it was weaving between her, and every once in a while it would stretch its paws up her legs. She was slowly melting over it’s cuteness, and another cat wasn’t what she needed. “If not, you want him…her? It smells, and won’t leave me alone.” Her lips cracked a smile of desperation. The cat didn’t smell, the honey-haired woman just knew if she was around the cat any longer she would find herself too attached. “–free of charge, really. c’mon, he…she… they have great personality. They can meow in eight different languages, and if you need them to shred some paperwork, their claws can do the job…” -now she sounded like a saleswoman. 

[tatyanashvets]

Yana made a tight turn to face the other girl as she heard her call, eyebrows going up as she saw the tiny kitten, looking from it back up at the other woman, listening as she spoke, then giving another glance over the kitten.

“Not my cat, no, but I can certainly at the very least take care of it.” She was quiet for a second, “Well, I’ll have to make sure the dogs will behave, and I’ll have to check in with my brother, but, if not I know some good shelters.”

[tatyanashvets]

“I don’t think anyone is trying that’s a great point. Maybe there’s a gap in the market.. are you looking for a new endeavor because we may have just found it.”

“Can’t say I know all too much about business of fashion on that level, but it certainly does seem like something people would be excited for, so, may not be the best person ask, but it does seem like a good idea.”

[tatyanashvets]

Noelle sighed and plopped down on the seat, “God. You know it’s the 21st century, they should make these more comfortable.”

“See, that’s the upside of literally never putting weight on your feet, you can wear most ridiculous shoes and so long as they fit you’re fine,” She shrugged before continuing, “It really doesn’t sound like anyone’s trying, though, how much effort could it take to make cute shoes more walkable?”

[noelleslatxr]

“Excuse me, is this seat taken? I don’t mean to bother you I just really need to rest my feet, its been a long day in really high heels.”

[tatyanashvets]

“Go right ahead, I’ve no use for it, so.” Yana chucked as she made a gesture for the other woman to take the seat.
