Island Of Muses

“ Do you want to give Avery a heart attack? Cause that is exactly what is going to happen.” Tyler laughs as she takes his arm.“ One time I saw him talking to a girl and I kid you not his face light up like a tomato, he was bright red.” He shrugs at her next comment.“ You should come over some time, meet the whole family, you’d get a kick out of it. My dad… Well you’ve seen him, his my dad, mom comes and goes I think they are better now, it wasn’t meant to be and all of that.” He guides her along.“ My uncles are completely in love with each other, you’d think they would have calmed themselves now but no way, it’s impressive. And of course you already know Avery, the baby of the family.”

"I was just gonna ask for his friend's number!" Faith chuckles, "I can ask for his too, now that you mention it," she teases, she really had no interest in the guy, but she did had a lot of fun poking him, see him embarrased and blushing, "You rest easily, I would never do anything to him, I'd destroy that boy," she lets out another laugh, "I'm just having fun, Exctly my point,see?, someone's gotta teach him how to get out of his shell, right? who better to do it than a hot girl?" she winks at Tyler. "Would you be offended if I told you he's charming?" she jokes, "Well, I say if they aren't in a screaming match everytime they see each other is working," she shrugs, kinda wished things had gone like that for hr parents, Faith barely knew he dad, but she still remember those fights. "Ooh they are one those couples? seems sweet in a..ew kinda way" she laughs, "Think your family would adopt me?" she jokes.

"You give people closure. That can mean so much to someone." Nova had seen it once or twice with students who had come to see her or people she would meet during her volunteer work so she knew, at least second hand that Jordan did incredibly important work. "My last couple of years of college was when things went of the rails for me so I never finished, never got the degree." She explained with a shrug, though she occasionally thought about going back. "I know, I agree, I just, I don't know if I want to go through all of that or the legal fees. But I'll consider it. I promise."

"Honestly? it's what's gets me out of bed every morning," she confesses, she didn't have much going on did she? she didn't mean in a way that she was depressed or wanting something drastic to happen to her, just it gave her a reason to keep going, in a sense, "Just--gives meaning to this mess we call life, you know?" she asks, smiling gently. "Oh, I understand, "Jordan nods, "Did you ever think about coming back? finishing it? now you got the chance to, right?"Nova should do what she felt like, Jordan was just laying out the option for her, she figured. "Right, no presure just an option if that's what you want."

Ever wants to be mad at her, tell her no but that was the thing with Jordan, she always knew how to go around them and as she says sorry they feel a bit of that anger melt away." Jordan." Ever sighs." Fine, we can give this friendship a try, see how it goes and I do accept your apologize and I'm sorry too. The relationship involved us both and I also knew that I had my part to play, not always did I do it well."

"Thank you," She says, there's a lot more she wants to say, bt this is Jordan we're talking about, expressing herself , her feelings is not that easy. "Ever? do you ever feel we--ruined something that could had been great? I--I'm not saying we should try again, we both know it doesn't work, just--you know?" she sighs, shaking her head, trying not to get caught up in this again. "So, friend," Jordan smiles, "How have you been?"

"Oh but I think that I can." Kyla smirked before jumping a little as Avery poked her side. "I mean if that's the truth, then where are those songs coming from." She tilted her head to the side, a playful smile appearing on her face. Her cheeks started to go red as he kissed her cheek, making her give him a playful nudge. "Exactly! You have been missing out big time. Drink and dinner? You know that I would never get bored of you. We are going to paint the town red!"

"So unfair," Avery chuckles as she pokes his side. "Who knows? some hidden part of my brain that hasn't been affectted by the melting yet?" Avery jokes. Avery grins, notcing the red on her cheeks, he thinks he's glad he's not the one blushing this time, 'cause it tends to happen a lot, he pokes her cheek plafully to her nudge. "It's good be back in the land of the living I tell you that," he half jokes, "love what I do but it takes a lot of me sometimes," specially because he wouldn't rest until he got the projects done, "Now that's talking!" Avery laughs, "Come on."

"Don't feel like an ass. I was a mess, and a complete asshole when I was with those people." Nova chuckled, though she knew part of it was her issues with alcohol, she could never bring herself to use it as an excuse, out of everyone, she was always hardest on herself. "I don't know yet. I was thinking of going to a shelter and just seeing who I get along with."

"Yeah, I get it, some people do bring out the wrose in you, I've seen it happen," And he had, again, the people he worked for had sometimes some questionables behavious, "But you got out, right?"Avery smiles reaching over for her hand and giving it a little pat, "That's what matters. "And, hey my door is always opened for you, regarless," he says. "That is actually a great idea! the pups at the shelter can for sure use some love, I've been thinking about getting a cat, but I'm away for work so much, maybe when I start getting more home based stuff."

" I know and I'm careful, what does it even matter if one wants my soul? It's not like I'm going to give it to them." Walt laughs." Come on, Zeke. Am I even your type?"

"I'll be the judge of when you get to be called the pet names, you have to be deserving of, thank you very much," Zeke teases, he lets out a sigh, nodding his head, "I know, honey, but still demons can be dangrous and if you get Declan back here, I'm holding on accountable just so you know!"honestly getting that demon back where he belong had been a pain Zeke wasn't willing to repeat. "That doesn't make it better!" Zeke huffs, "In your own home, so they can know where to easily find you?!" he rolls his eyes. "There's a lot of ways a demon can tirck you into giving up your soul, again, they don't get called demons for nothing, and I know you're smarter than that but still! be carefiul!" he rolls his eyes again, "Do you think I'd be offering if you weren't? I don't to pitty lays, sugar."

“ A couple of times but do feel free to tell me more often Fai, you know it does wonders for my ego.” Tyler grins, rolling his eyes at her next comment.“ Of course the bass player, I should have seen that coming. Ave’s band does play there but not today, there’s another band playing there tonight so no luck for you, maybe next time.” He laughs.“ Alright, I’ll believe you on that.”

"I bet you have, you look like you do," Faith can't help but to tease, mostly when it comes to Tyler it was all there it was, just trying to poke him a little, the turth was she liked the guy, he was probably her closest friend and she didn't want things to get messy. "Damn it, bet I can get the number out of little cousin, though," she teases again, linking her arm to his, "Let's go then, I really need to get my mind off dear mommy. One day you're gonna have to tell me what it feels like to a family that actually funcions."

She growled, to vent her discomfort. "So if you turn out to be incompetent I'm still paying the price? Lovely," she retorted, but eventually she held out her hand to seal the deal nonetheless, "Fine. You're pretty much my only hope, Obi Wan. Are we going now?"

Jordan waited for the other to respond, she could see she wasn't really having fun with this idea, but it was good, if the refused the dective's terms, Jordan would know she was lying , if she agreed to it though, she was either 100% sure or crazy, the blonde was betting the latter. "And that's disrespecting authority," Jordan makes sure to tell her, my ass is not on line here, yours is, I know how to do my job, but if you're gonna get me out into some wild goose chase it better be worth it!"and honestly that's what she really thought it was a wild goose chance, what else could it be? "Lead the way," she sais, a nod of her head as she gets up ready to follow the other.

"Of course." Nova promised, she'd just be glad to have a place to stay, already planning on cooking plenty of meals as a thank you. "You do a lot of good. It's nice to know that there's people out there who don't think that they don't matter anymore just because it's been a long time." She smiled softly before shrugging her shoulders. "Oh, I was the counsellor. I thought about being a teacher but I don't know if it's for me." She had been considering it when she had been in college, but then things kind of hit the fan there. "I uh, I'll think about it. Thank you. I hadn't thought of it."

"Alright then," Jodan nods. "Thank you I--I do my best, sometimes families have been waiting so long to know what happened, it's good they can get some sense of comfort, you know?" she smiles, this was the strongst reason Jordan had to do that kind of job giving some closure to the people who really needed it. "Oh sorry, but it was something you liked right? why? I mean, it's never too late, what I do is kinda the living proof of that." Jordan nods her head, "You're very welcome, just feels like, letting them get away with it just gonna mean they get to keep treating people like that, and that's just not fair."
