                    Ryan made another face. “First things first,” he began with mock seriousness. “I never joke about things concerning Allison.” A moment later and the young wolf is beaming, wide and bright smile broadening his lips. “She’s definitely way cuter, yeah. I won’t argue there.”

                    He held up his hands. “Hey, it’s always good to try. But seriously you probably do. Though the ones here aren’t — ” ‘We’ve got the best damn nachos this side of the marina’ yells a voice from the kitchen and from the inflections you can tell that the cook is smiling. Ryan chuckles as well and hold up a hand towards the back. “See? What he said.”

Thalia laughs, shaking her head at the both of them. “Like I said, nachos are great,” she says. “But what about the other side of the marina?” she asks, unable to resist poking fun.

jacobthorne:

“I don’t think so,” he replied, the corner of his lips pulling into half a smile. “No judgement here.”

“Well then I just happen to know the most adorable little café,” Thalia said, affecting a fake accent. She couldn’t help laughing at herself.

“That feeling when you have a headache, but still have a twelve hour night shift ahead of you.” the brunette muttered, rubbing tiredly at her eyes. “Can i just nap here?”

[thalia-dunne]

“Of course you can,” Thalia said comfortingly, stroking Emma’s hair. She doubted Emma really would nap here, but Thalia would readily let her if she wanted. “And when you wake up, I’ll feed you and give you coffee.”

“I wouldn’t pet him if I were you,” Ryder warned, referring to the German Shepard at his side. There was a reason Ryder referred to his dog as Bones. He was using his magic to cast a glamour around jim at the moment to make the skeleton dog he had resurrected look more or less alive. But if anyone was to actually pet him, they’d realize Bones wasn’t as furry as he might seem.

[thalia-dunne]

Thalia pulled her hand back. She had been holding it out for the dog to sniff. “Oops, sorry,” she said, looking embarrassed. “And sorry bud,” she apologized, also to the dog.

Cassie had barely gotten any rest since the memorial ball. There hadn’t been anything natural about the intensity of the storm and she was still waiting for the other shoe to drop. Why cause a storm like that? Just to scare the residents of the town? Taking a deep breath she ran a hand through her hair, resting the side of her head against her palm with her elbow on the table. “February is supposed to be the shortest month of the year, why does it feel like it’s the longest?”

[thalia-dunne]

“Maybe because you need more coffee?” Thalia suggested, holding up the pot. She was only joking. Mostly. In reality, she figured that Cassie was still as on edge as she was--if not more so--after the freak snow storm the other night. Despite the power going out, nothing had happened, and it had left Thalia feeling suspicious. “Also because it’s almost spring time, but not quite,” she added, squinting out at the slightly overcast day.

[jacob-thorne]

With his thoughts still scrambled from the interview, Jake needed coffee. A lot of it. The only problem was that he could barely tell his left from his right in this new town, it all seeming too familiar and yet too foreign at the same time. Spotting a passer by, he cleared his throat and awkwardly waved to get their attention. “Hi there. I don’t suppose you could point me in the direction of the nearest cafe?”

[thalia-dunne]

“Hmmm, am I totally biased and self-serving if the cafe I direct you towards is me own?” Thalia asked teasingly. She had run out during a lull to do a couple deliveries. Sure her employees usually did them if necessary, but Thalia liked getting out now and again. At least the sun was setting later these days, so she was managing to see a little bit of it when she closed up for the night.

alexasawyer:

Alexa smiled. “It’s nice to meet you, Thalia. I’m Alexa. That would actually be great if I did have a guide to all things event. I’d be forever indebted to you.”

“Well, I won’t keep score or anything so don’t worry,” Thalia promised. “What did you want to check out?” 

[thalia-dunne]

lorelei-holt:

“Hiii!” Lorelei squealed excitedly, happy to see her wifey. “Colton and I just got here! Took a little convincing on his part to come here, but we made it. Awwe thank you. You’re don’t look to bad yourself, beautiful. These fellas here tonight won’t stand a chance,” she playfully winked. 

“Well with a girl like you, who needs to go out?” Thalia teased, lovingly. She was not at all surprised that the gruff wolf hadn’t really been interested in the festivities. He deserved a night off. She laughed, shaking her head. “Puh-lease. It’s the same old me, just in a pretty party dress. And the same goes for everyone else.”

[thalia-dunne]

violetbecker:

Realisation washed over her face as she nodded her head, admittedly relieved she hadn’t been rude and forgotten her. “It’s nice to officially meet you then!” Violet said, smiling kindly at Thalia. “I’ll be sure to pop in your cafe sometime, I have quite the sweet tooth.”

“Well I have plenty of stuff for you then,” Thalia promised. “Feel free. In the meantime, should we try to see what sweet treats they have here tonight?” 

[thalia-dunne]

callie-hastings:

“Right - thanks.” Callie said, looking around now before her eyes set on a bathroom, “Come on, might find some in there.” She then walked over with the intention of Thalia following and went into the bathroom. She pulled open some drawers to look through the contents, “How’ve you been, by the way?” She wondered.

Thalia followed Callie to the bathroom easily. Trying to help Callie at least gave her a sense of purpose for the moment. She could enjoy that. She followed Callie’s lead and began looking through the drawers. “I’ve been all right. You know, busy as always. How about you?”

nicholasxadler:

“No, on the contrary, I barely have the time to allow them to drape for long. I’m a busy man, Thalia.”

“Ah right, because you never mix business and pleasure.” 

[thalia-dunne]

emmasawyer:

She nodded in agreement, “Always, are you having fun at least?” she replied, knowing how hard it had to be to be in the manor after everything that had happened last year. She couldn’t blame Issy for skipping out on it, she wasn’t sure what she would’ve done in the same situation as everyone who’d been here last year. “I know, I couldn’t stop staring like the talent.”

“Yes, are you?” Thalia asked. She was having as much fun as she could anyway. The alcohol was helping her loosen up. She only helped it wouldn’t loosen up her fears too. “Come on, let’s go get some more to drink, and then maybe we can try dancing like the professionals.” 

[thalia-dunne]

lunaxshaw:

“Oh, believe me, I like my dress, too. We don’t have to get too messy, just enough for effect.” She took a moment to appreciate Thalia’s wardrobe. “You look really pretty tonight, by the way.”

“Ah I understand. An artfully placed sprinkle here, some icing there....” Thalia laughed. “Thank you. You do too. I love your whole outfit. You look very celestial.” 

[thalia-dunne]

margxgrey:

“I suppose, but i don’t think it’s normal for it to continuously happen at community events.” At least Margaret didn’t think so, but she could be wrong. 

“Well in most normal towns, it probably wouldn’t be. Not that I think it should be anything close to normal here.” 

[thalia-dunne]

ericxblake:

“but-but-” He didn’t resist when she took the decoration out of his hand, instead watching with a heartbreaking look on his face as she put it down. “-is there going to be anything good? As good as that… decoration… looked?”

“Is there going to be anything good?” Thalia scoffed. “They wouldn’t make a charity event with bad food. Then they wouldn’t get anyone out to the next one!” 

[thalia-dunne]

nathanielxgreyson:

He’d been on high alert all night, but the moment the lights began to flicker, he had to try not to bristle. Outside the snow was falling, giving as good a reason as any for the electrical problems, but he was worried something else might be at hand. He was worried the oncoming storm would be the perfect disguise for something else to happen. Despite his concerns, however, he showed none of them, not wanting to add to the already thundering heartbeats he heard throughout the house. This new problem, along with the already present nerves thanks to last year’s ball, meant people needed calm, now more than ever.

Nate went about the room, helping where he could, looking for candles and flashlights to hand out, keeping a flashlight for himself as he did. Once the lights had gone from flickering to complete darkness, Nate kept his cool, made sure not to let on that he was doing head counts more and more often. It was during one of those counts that he realized he didn’t see Thalia among the crowd when he knew he saw her bustling about the room earlier. Of course the house had to be this size, where anyone could get lost if they dared to wander even a few steps away.

It was once he got closer to the dining room that he thought he heard a familiar voice let out a string of curse words, heartbeat racing like the rest. Nate walked slowly, shining his light around the room until he found Thalia pressed against the wall, panicked as ever. “Thalia,” he said calmly, inching over so he didn’t scare her. “Thalia, what’s wrong? Are you hurt?”

The flashlight made Thalia blink. She jumped, blushing when she recognized it was Nate. “I-I’m fine,” she gasped, cursing the way her heart still hadn’t calmed. “It’s nothing, I’m just...it’s stupid,” she shook her head. Tears gathered in her eyes, threatening to fall. Not only was she acting like an idiot, but she was doing it in front of Nathaniel Greyson! Her hand pressed against the table as she willed herself upright. 

“Is-is everything all right?” she asked, looking up at him again. She wanted to know that the storm was natural, was terrified that it wasn’t. And the power outage. Anyone who shut off the power like that couldn’t be up to anything good. 

The memories from last year had already been pressing upon her. Trying to drag Issy out of the fire, Cassie being kidnapped and changed, Rose dying. She still had nightmares sometimes, of the smoke filling her lungs, making it hard to breathe. She shook her head again, trying to push those memories out of her head. It was one thing to come apart in the dark. It was another to be under the Alpha of Hollow Grove’s spotlight, looking like a stupid ninny.
