“NO, I-” SILENCE WAS HEARD AS MAISYN LISTENED

intently to the person on the other line. Inhaling a bit she closed her eyes, her body language indicating that this was just one more thing in her morning to go south. “The red one with the-?” she paused again, taking a couple of steps forwards as it was evident the person on the other end was still letting Maisyn have it. Sighing, she nodded though she knew no one could see her and she rested her phone in between her ear and her shoulder, her other hand holding her now cold coffee as she dug through her bag to find paper. “Okay, what’s the address..” she spoke, her voice growing alarmed as she realized the coffee was now toppling out of her hand and landing on the feet of the person moving her direction. Looking up with a slight plea to keep them from yelling at her, Maisyn closed her eyes, swallowing as the other gave her the address and she quickly jotted it down before hanging up.  “I am so sorry! Are you alright?”

Iris was quick to pick up Lizbeth as the coffee splattered the pavement in front of them. She was prepared to say something to the person about being more careful. However, the woman looked frazzled enough and the lack of burns on her leg meant the coffee must already be cold. So she finds herself offering up a warm smile and a dismissive hand wave. No one was hurt after all. She could get the coffee stains out of her pants and Lizbeth wasn’t aware of anything. The little girl seemed to think it had been a fin game and was giggling at being picked up so quickly.

“I’m fine. Are you alright?”

cordelia x peter { @writteninconstellation​ } / sully’s, wednesday 1:46pm

The day started out so good. He got up early, took Pilsner for a good sunrise walk, then was able to get in some good reels in the river before heading to the bar. But the universe had better ideas on how the day was going to go.

He got the bar at 10:30, hoping it would be already opened by his bar tender… Yeah, he should have never trusted him. He was late, again… and short-staffed. Today was the day that everyone decided that they had better plans than to come into work. So Peter was left with just him and his cook. The only bright side was that the lunch rush was staring to die down. He hoping that he would have a spare moment to make the beef stew for the dinner.

“Sit anywhere,” Peter called from under the bar when he heard the door’s bell jingle as it opened. “The special is yesterday’s pot roast in a sandwich…” He popped up from under the bar with two bottles of Tito’s vodka in his hands. “Oh, sup Cordi,” a smile pulled at the corners of his mouth.

This wasn’t going down in history as one of her worst days. It wasn’t even close. It was on the negative scale though. She had to leave work early to escort her sobbing mother out of a grocery store and it took considerable time to calm her down. There was no reasoning with her. It was only gentle placating and waiting. Cordelia had learned over the years, but that didn’t make it any better. So once her mother agreed to a nap, Cordelia took the opportunity to go out for a late lunch.

There was no question that the best place to go in a bad was Sully’s. She didn’t have to explain to Peter. It was easier that way. It also helped that the lunch rush would be dying down. She wouldn’t have to worry about a crowd with her pounding headache. So she didn’t acknowledge his initial greeting. It may be directed at her, but it wasn’t meant for her. It was the pleasantries meant for someone who hadn’t known him her entire life and sat at his bar since she first turned twenty-one. “I think it’s a little early for a drink, but if you’re offering,” she teased, eyes dropping to the bottles then back up to him, “You know I’ll take whatever you’re serving barring shellfish.”

“You’re full of shit, you know that?” Of course he was joking. Sort of. Amusement was all over his face as he looked over at the other, not daring to touch the recently claimed bet. He might not be a baseball fan but he wasn’t exactly stupid either. Betting against the New York Yankees? “If you want to place bets, let’s switch to the NFL.” 

As amusing as it might be to watch the argument, Cordelia wasn’t in the mood. Miles may have no ill intentions, but she knew the local he was talk with and that wouldn’t end well. So she placed herself between with a smile before pulling the man into a hug and quietly reminding him of his little girl at home and what happened last time he thought betting sports was a good idea. It was enough to send him on his way. “Don’t encourage him in the future,” she offered, waving a hand to get the bartender’s attention for another drink, “It’s a bad idea for everyone involved.”

LOCATION: Iris’ Office

WHO: Lauren Thorpe & Iris Diaz ( @writteninconstellation )

Adopting a dog was not something Lauren had been planning to do. But when the hospital was having a day of pet therapy with dogs that were up for adoption, she couldn’t really resist. She had gotten attached to the little Yorkshire Poodle, and the next thing she knew, she was bringing her home. That was two days ago. “Hey, thanks for seeing me at such notice.” Lauren told Iris as she entered the her office, holding in her arms the puppy she had named Princess. “I’ve had this little one with me for two days now. I adopted her from a pet therapy event at the hospital. I wanted to make sure she was all doing all good.”

Iris welcomed her into the office with a warm smile. She had been booked for the week, but a cancellation allowed her to squeeze Lauren into the schedule. Honestly, she would have seen her after hours if she couldn’t make the time during the day. “Of course, I’d have stopped by the day you got her if I could.” She started the examination carefully inspecting the skin and coat before moving to the paws and then the face. “Did they provide you any information on her?”

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY & HEADCANONS: → Cordelia is the youngest of seven daughters. Her parents married very young and her mother stayed at home. Her father was a well-respected marine biologist. → She was very much the pampered baby of the family. All of her sisters are close in age and they have a very close relationship. There is nothing they would not do for one another. In fact, the whole family is very close-knit. → TW: Parental Death | At the age of ten, her father was killed in a boating accident. His body was never discovered and it hit the family very hard. Her mother never remarried, and still holds hope that her husband survived and will make his way home. Cordelia is the primary caretaker of her mother. While her mother is in near perfect physical health, her mental health has declined the longer she denies reality. | End of TW → All her sisters have moved out of town. They are still in constant contact, but visits are few and far between. Cordelia is the only daughter following in her father’s footsteps. → Due to both of her parents coming from wealthy families, her mother is able to continue to not work. Cordelia has her own loft, but often visits her mother to check on her and keep her company. She was incredibly close with her father, and losing him has brought her closer to her mother. → Despite being spoiled, Cordelia has never been selfish. She has always felt the desire to help others, often putting their needs ahead of her own. It has led to her being taken advantage of in the past. → She is not weak though. She may be a bit naive, but she can stand up for herself. Her father would often call her a quiet storm. It was a phrase she never understood as a child, but has come to own and love as an adult. The phrase is tattooed on the outside of her left foot. She is not afraid to speak her mind, and stand up for what she believes. → Her being spoiled has led to poor impulse control. She often acts before thinking, and does what she pleases. She follows her instincts, and while luck is often on her side, it has led to trouble. → She wants to believe the best in everyone, but her past has taught her to be wary. Trust is easily lost, and near impossible to gain back. She has grown reluctant to open up to people for fear of being hurt. → Do not get her started on marine life and conservation. It is her passion and she will go on for ages about it. She’d wanted to study and work in marine science for as long as she can remember. → Her time is mostly dedicated to her job. She works full time at the local aquarium and her remaining time is spent doing contract work for conservation groups. The limited time she takes to herself is spent researching, swimming, or going out dancing.
