Converging Lives

“I made this this little sword necklace that can be unsheated with a hidden button”

Thank you sweetheart, Pavel and Sparks have the easiest answers of the primary characters. Though so does Nazren actually.

Jon - owns multiple pairs of shoes, chooses based on the rest of his outfit. Almost all his shoes are customized for his ease of movement. A combination of support and comfort, so he can go over nearly any terrain without issue. Most his fancy appearing shoes have built in blades and skimmers to make identifying people faster.

Luc - almost all his shoes are leather and customised to fit him perfectly. His most common pair to wear are his battle boots, they go mid calf, black leather exterior, reinforced heels, sleek lines. His second most common pair are the sneakers Jon got him for Walks, black and silver, foot and ankle supportive.

Isaac - he stopped counting how many types of shoes he has, as he owns everything from adorable open for high heels to combat boots to men's dress shoes. Luc once joked he has two pairs of shoes per outfit choice.

Iov - he has several different pair of dress shoes, in varying colors and styles, to match different outfits and look official. He refuses to wear boots, as he was in boots the day he made the worst choice of his life and changed everything, he’s not a fan of sandals as he’s concerned they don’t look formal enough and will get him in trouble for not taking his role seriously. He does have a pair of black fluff slippers Emere got him for around the apartment, as he is not fond of being barefoot, and kept mopping at the socks and how dirty they could get. 

Pavel - for the longest time he owns only a pair of worn sneakers.

Emere - her favorite pair is sandals and then she has several different pairs of tennis shoes and sneakers, plus one pair of boots

Sparks - for years the only shoes he had were the ones Aither got him while they lived in the warehouse, having never bothered to get others. It wasn't until the second year running the Balakhnov Building and caring for the kids that he bothered updating his shoe collection

Sitara - she has so many pairs of shoes, most a variety of sandals and flats, however she also has several pairs of heels and a few new pairs of boots bought after she moved into the Balakhnov Building to use in the winter months.

Nazreen - her primary pair of shoes are basic black flats, but she has several others that match her various dress and several to match her pattern hijabs.

you are already cute!

yes, you reading this!

Iov

Healing isn’t an easy process, it takes time, energy, and support. It’s hard on a lot of levels. Sometimes there are setbacks. That doesn’t erase the progress made. Rarely is healing linear. Great strides are made when least expected, often following days or months with little to none, or even setbacks. 

Even when it doesn’t seem like it, healing is well worth the struggles and trials to there. 

Caleb

He loves his work as a gardener, often thanking Allah for showing him what each garden he works in will be. It’s not visions, as some would call them, but an instinct that allows him to know what will thrive or not, and where. 

Faqeeha, his wonderful first soulmate he’s lucky to have met, often praises his green thumb since he grows them fresh fruits and vegetables year round. She also jokes with him about the fact their home has plants everywhere to do so. 

It is not uncommon for them to coo over hijabs together and delight in sharing the wonderful patterns and designs they find. He met her at a store looking at hijabs, and they struck up a conversation. He’s the first bi-gender person she’s met and was delighted to speak with him about. That was entire reason they exchanged emails, which allowed them to develop a friendship and led to them discussing soulmarks one day when she asked about a flower, the one that makes up their first shared soulmark. 

Zeynal

He enjoys teaching his students new skills and knowledge, often mixing the mediums of lessons so they get multiple things rather than just one. When he first approached Iov about getting the supplies to do so, he didn’t expect it to go smoothly. After all, most want lessons to be done by book work or the like rather in other meas. He’s pleasantly surprised when it is approved and he is given a rather nice budget to work with. 

When he first started helping care for  Emiliya, he was uneasy with assisting an elderly woman not of his family. That didn’t last long, as he realized she is child like in her behavior, lacking the ability to retain most of her memories and knowledge. He finds it soothing to work with her, being a stable presence that can help her daughters out.
