(ugh, I was in a similar situation. I managed to get it moved to just a hangout at a cafe, but it still sucked. I wish you luck, my friend)

She sighed and ticked off the names on her fingers. "Cinthia, Wulfric, Magnus, Rhydar. Siblings, okay? Koralia is Magnus's fiancé. Jamir is Wulfric's boyfriend. Demitri is Cinthia's childhood friend. Rae is my cousin. Tamaki, Kiriti, Carden, Archer, Junia, and Fenris are mutual friends. There's a total of fifteen of us, including yours truly."

(Ah, not the plant! I'd probably accidentally kill my own plant…)

(they got me another plant?? wack. anyway hi im back)

"that makes more sense. that's still a lot of names, though. what's it like to know so many people?" he sat back just a bit, having figured out that the couch probably wouldn't explode just because someone poor sat on it.

@ElderGod-kirky group

(at least they tried to make up for it?)

She shrugged. "I know a lot more, but they're the only ones I consider to be friends. It gets…hectic…sometimes when we're all together, but it's otherwise not really anything different from not knowing anyone—and would you sit down normally!" she hissed, narrowing her eyes at him as she relaxed against the opposite armrest, "You're making me nervous."

(yeah?)

he listened intently to the first part, but jumped when she mentioned his sitting. he offered an apologetic shrug and scooted to the back of the couch, resting his right ankle on his left knee.

"Better," she said, nodding, "Anyway, yeah. Knowing a lot of people isn't really anything special. It's just more people who can put up with my shit while simultaneously insulting everything I do out of platonic love. We're all parasites using this place as a shelter from our normal lives."

"sounds like a great time, honestly. the only shelter i get is when i take the long ass subway ride to see my parents, and the even longer ride hopping from subways to trains to go see my sister."

he leaned back, crossing his arms over his chest.

She tilted her head, raising a brow. "You have a sister?" she asked, genuinely curious. She had some half-siblings, but one hated her, another lived in Hawaii, and the youngest didn't know about her criminal life, and Tessa never wanted the sweet girl to find out.

She wasn't even going to start with her father.

"yeah! her name is aimèe, but the uh. the french spelling. she's 16, goes to boarding school. you got any siblings?" nik looked over to her, cocking his head.

group
@ElderGod-kirky group

Tessa nodded. "Half siblings—my family's complicated." She sighed and tilted her head back. "Ronan's 23 and lives in Hawaii with his father. Med school. Alexander's 17, lives with our mom and Ben—hates me. Angel's 6 and see's me as this hero. She's adorable. She and Lex are the only full siblings of us all. We're all related on my mom's side."

(sorry if zan's name is inconsistent, his creator has another character with a similar name and i get em mixed up)

nik let his head rest against the back of the couch. "intriguing. how often do you see them?" he had always had a very limited circle of people, really only zan and his family of 3.

group
@ElderGod-kirky group

(it's okay, I sometimes get confused by similar names as well)

"I try to stay away from my mom and the younger two, as well as Ben, my stepdad. Ronan visits whenever he can, so it's kinda hard to give a definitive answer for him." Tessa shrugged, picking at her fingers. She never mentioned her biological father.

"hm. sounds dysfunctional, if you don't mind me saying." he inclined his head slightly, pulling one side of his mouth into a grimace.

group
@ElderGod-kirky group

"Dysfunctional," she muttered, "is one way to describe it. Ben's in the government." She twirled her hand around lazily. "Makes for interesting family dinners—at least, the ones that I'm dragged into."

"oh boy, that does sound fun." he snorted. "what branch?"

@ElderGod-kirky group

"Pffft, like I've asked him." She tilted her head as she thought about it, though. "I think he said something about being a part of some sort of independent agency?"

(sorry for the late reply! writers block yote me for a while, then my computer glitched)

he looked at her neutrally, eyebrows raised.

"interesting. thought he mighta been one of the big fancy fuckers, i was gonna ask for his address."

group
@ElderGod-kirky group

(it's okay! I'm getting the same way. Heads up—I might've told you, I don't know, just tell me if I did—I'll be gone all week next week)

"Noooo, don't do anything to Ben. He's cool, for the most part." She held up her hands and shook them, sorta like jazz hands. "I haven't been put into cuffs yet, so that should say something. If you want to fuck with someone, then have at it with Kian Black."

"kian black?"
he put down one eyebrow, leaving one raised.
"do tell more."

group
@ElderGod-kirky group

Tessa sighed and stretched out, mainly her bad leg. "Kian Black, the douchebag that knocked up my mother then hightailed it when she broke the news. Doesn't even have the balls to contact his child, but when confronted by said child, he has the audacity to say that he saved their life by not making her get an abortion. Calling him a hot head would be an understatement."

nik's expression remained the same, but he drew in a long breath.

"address. he and his reputation will be dead by friday." he sat up straighter, crisply popping his knuckles. time to take a motherfucker out, i guess.

"I'm going with you," she said fiercely, her eyes flashing dangerously as she imagined his face when she showed up with Nik. "Call it a final goodbye." Nevermind the fact that she still had a limp and her stomach was throbbing now.

he nodded.

"hardcore. imagine his face, you and a squad show up specifically to beat his ass. iconic, really." he smiled with half of his mouth, showing amusement largely through body language and not voice.

group
@ElderGod-kirky group

Her lip quirked up slightly. "You can probably guess why I want to go." She craned her head back and tucked her hands behind her head, looking up at the ceiling, heaving a sigh. "I should probably wait until I'm fighting fit, though."

person_off

"yeah. i should too. i forget that i'm gonna be bruised tomorrow." he looked up at the ceiling, mimicking her position and smiling fully.

"i don't usually death drop to the floor like that. never expected to have to manually take out someone's legs."

group
@ElderGod-kirky group

She snorted, rubbing at her scratched cheek. It had hit the non-shattered one, which was to be expected as it stuck out more than the shattered one, but it still bothered her mind. It was like a little worm wiggling in the back of her head, reminding her of what her foster brother had done.

(pardon,,)

he took a deep breath, drawing out his exhale so it lasted much longer than normal. eventually he glanced over to her.

"hey, you okay?"

group
@ElderGod-kirky group

(?)

Tessa hummed a yes, dropping her hand. "Yeah, just…bugging me, that's all. Less to do with pain and more to do with the past."

(what about her brother lmao)

nik's expression softened. "oh."

he took the silence to stretch, and shake out the muscles in his hands.

"…look at us. two escapists, only known each other for a day and already thick as thieves."
