dancing through life

Sage laughed, “You just might be,” She teased and then gestured over to her daughter, “Just taking Jasmine to the park. Kim normally does it because I have work so I’m glad I get to on my day off.”

“Yeah they are much better outside than inside.” She said. “We have sandwiches,wraps, some drinks and this is either coffee or tea.”She said holding up a flask.

🍎- our muses have a picnic

“You know, this was a wonderful idea, at least we got good weather for it, that would have been terrible, unless you wanted to have the picnic inside of course.” She laughed gently.

☀️ - our muses take advantage of the sunny weather

“Julian hey!” Sage said, spotting the other as her and Jasmine entered the park. Perhaps she shouldn’t have drawn attention of her daughter’s uncle but she couldn’t go back now. Jasmine tugged her sleeve, “Go on, sweetheart. Just keep me in sight, okay?” She motioned for her daughter to go play and approached her colleague with a smile, “Can you believe it? I wasn’t expecting a warm day like this for at least a few weeks.”

“I mean, I told you, but someone didn’t want to listen.”

“Oh please– you’re going to pull the ‘I told you so’ card now? Let’s just get out of this damn rain okay?”

Nora tried not to chew on her bottom lip too much, she wasn’t the best liar in the world and yet she had managed to keep her deteriorating powers a secret. “You do know a lot of that stuff is classified to muggles like you.” She teased he brother. “But it’s good, things are a little more intense ever since Malum has been showing it’s head again and they’re proving to be more persistent too. But-… things are good. How are things at the academy?” 

“Aw c’mon– even for your favorite brother? That hurts,” he pouted. “That checks. I hope they’re not working you too hard over there,” Julian added, giving her a nudge. “Uh they’re good. Not too sure the whole teaching this is for me though. You know I’ve never been good with kids and all,” he shrugged.

“Stupid cell phone apps, unreliable as shit,” he grumbled as the rain seemed to pour out of nowhere. “Looks like I should’ve stayed inside– I knew I should’ve stayed inside,” Julian added, complaining to his brother.

“Wait-… you can’t just take that when I more or less had it in my grasp. I was reading the sleeve for god’s sake.” Abigail commented marching over to the other, “I’m not beyond kicking your ass if that’s what it’s got to come to mystery stranger.”

“I didn’t really care about this book that much but since you seem to want it so bad, I only want it more,” Julian replied, clearly amused by the other’s frustration. “Kick my ass? For a book? I didn’t know people still cared about reading so much. Ever thought of buying a Kindle or a subscription to Audible?”

“Oh shit, I totally misread that didn’t I?” Sage said and handed it back, “I haven’t drunk it yet, I can get my own,” She smiled apologetically, “Sorry,” She sighed, I can’t do that. What if one of them deserves an A?”

“Essays,” Sage replied, “I’m contemplating finishing them another time but I was hoping to hand them back before the next one was due,” She took the coffee with a smile, “Have I ever told you that you’re my guardian angel, Julian?” She asked.

“Hey Kim, would you mind just staying an extra hour? I need to get these papers graded … Yeah, of course. Thank you so much. See you soon,” Sage hung up the phone and looked back at the papers in front of her. This was definitely not one of the things she liked about her job. She looked up only when she heard someone at the door, “Oh hey, can I help you with something?”

“So how’s everything going on in the hero world?” Julian asked, walking alongside his sister. “I feel like I don’t ask you about that stuff enough.”

“I’ve literally kind of got my hands full right now,” Julian told his brother as he lugged another box over. “Can you make this quick?”

“Pretty sure I had my eye on this first so I will take that– thank you,” Julian replied before plucking the record from beneath her gaze and beginning to walk away.

“Why thank you- that is the highest compliment anyone could pay me.” Nora commented holding a hand to her chest as she looked at the other, “I feel the need to complete a Buzzfeed Disney Princess personality quiz now to see which one I am.” She chuckled, her eyes going wide as she heard her brothers words. “Oh no- have I been unintentionally hurting ducks?” She pouted, “I’ll just have to take a pocket full of bird seed next time to the park. But it’s not like I go on Sunday’s purposely to feed them.” She told him, being serious despite knowing the fact that the elder man was teasing her. “Sure- I will take that until I have to rush you to the hospital to have your stomach pumped.”

“I figured as soon as I said it,” he admitted without another laugh. “Have you not already done every single one on the internet? I thought that was how you passed the time,” Julian teased. “I mean you’re not the only one. Little old ladies have been doing it for years. I’m sure some bread is okay, but bird seed sounds like a better bet,” he replied. “Do you sincerely think it would get that bad from this? That’s a little dramatic, huh sis?”

“All I’m saying is, if you want to outlive me, you better stop eating food off the ground.”

“Who said I wanted to outlive you?”
