Everyone Strives for Chaos

kaelen sighed, nodding her head. it didn't matter how much he said that their daughter didn't hate her or that it wasn't her fault. she was sure she was going to carry that guilt for the rest of her life, but at least she was getting to live now and could feel it and still get to know her daughter and be there for zash once again. "you lived a whole life without me, zash. i think i'll always feel like it's my fault for not being there for it. we were supposed to grow old together. maybe have another kid or something.. i just.. okay no, i can't keep focusing on that. i need to focus on here and now. maybe meeting our daughter and getting to know the person that she is and getting to know the person that you are."

Zash couldn't imagine what it felt like for her. It was hard enough for him. But for her? Everything had fully changed. "The world changed a lot. After the order, things got worse and worse." He shook his head. "I agree we should not focus on what is ahead and not what is in the past." He wanted that life that she spoke about. If it was going to be that way, if he wanted it that way he needed to tell her what he become. What he had to do in order to survive. "I would like that. A lot has changed. In order to survive. I had to become someone I thought I'd never be. In a world where everyone wanted me dead." She might hate him but he had to tell her.

"If I followed your lead Id be dead or seriously injured." Zuko couldnt help but chuckle a little. "But yes top dog of the fire nation in the flesh." He closed his book to fully focus on the other.

@mischiefxmuses

"Yes we can." Zuko lowered his hands, letting the fire die down. "You're focusing too much on the end result. Iroh always advocated for seeing the whole process. Knowing what the goal was but understanding everything in between."

"If it makes you feel any better, I did some fucked up shit too, apparently. I turned three teenagers, and most of them got killed." Derek pointed out that it was fun to find out, especially after Paige. "I say let them get to know the new Peter Hale and they will realize how much of a softie you are and that deep down, your more annoying than terrifying," derek teased. "let's hope it doesn't come to you two fighting. i don't know whose side to be on..but i understand what you mean."

"Yeah Erica might have mentioned that to me. Guess us Hales have a lot to make up for." He sighed. It felt like a lot to live down for something he had not yet done. "A lot of them don't want to. They have this idea of who I am so therefore how could I possibly be anything else. Erica has been alright with me. Stiles is a little bit of a prick though. Tried to help him, he had a go at me." Peter scoffed. "I am absolutely terrifying." He raised his finger. Maybe he was a bit softer than he usually was. Looking out for Derek, Erica, Bev and Enid. He was just selective.

(¸.• ♛ → the girl smiled at him. "i will take your word for it, i will be honored if you can teach me." she says, after all, this was good because she likes to be independant and honestly knowing how to drive should be perfect for her as well. "sounds perfect, i also love the independence so this helps a lot to just drive yourself everywhere." and not depending on anyone, of course. "i can get that because i'm actually the same, i guess we are...like two peas in a pod." she says in a playfully tone.

"Would be happy to teach you." He smiled over at her. He was getting better at the teaching thing. Wanting to mimick Iroh, and find that patience. He wanted to help, even if it wasn't always the easiest for him. "It really does. And not having a security detail following me around is always nicer." He chuckled lightly. He understood it was part of his job. "So I have noticed. You are quite tenacious. One of the many things I love about you and admired." Even with all their conflict in the past, he did always admire her.

"To cleanse and calm." Yennefer continued to gently wave the herb mixture, letting the smoke go into all the corners of the room. "Herbs have more healing powers than people with ever truly appreciate and mixed with a little magic." She smiled softly.

Sol placed a napkin over his mouth, shaking his head. "That is more sugar than anything else." He didnt mind a bit of sweet and wanted to try new things but that was too much for him. "How can people enjoy these?"

"Ill take that." Sol nodded. This was all do new to him. He would understand if she was cautious and wary of him. "If it does suck we are in this together." He grinned. A small mischievous shine in his eyes. He wanted to loosen up to have fun with her, enjoy his time. This was his chance to really live.

"I agree you need those ready for anything. And able to fight anyone without hesitation." He nodded. He knew what Obi Wan was capable of. Anakin too. He didnt fear them but it would be stupid to underestimate them. "Ive seen some who are able to do things with their minds. That was impressive. Demons with unspeakable powers. Its fascinating. Found anyone else fun?" He was genuinely curious. "I will always do my job. Of that I have no doubt." He said simply. Jabba paid. So hed do his job. If his daughters decided to stop paying he'd leave.

Viktor walks over -- using his cane for support, and goes and sits beside her. "Women are more than capable of rescuing themselves." He tells her, smiling slightly. "Some authors do write as though they have never met a woman before. It is a huge flaw, in many books, I fear." He shrugs, "There are much better books to be read, out there."

Yennefer closed the book, unimpressed. A sigh leaving her. "Women save men more than men save us. The knight in shinning armour thing, a rare thing." She thought of her sisters, of Tissia and all the women in her life. Men brought pain and frustration. Her mind drifting to Geralt. "Ive found very few unfortunately. There are some that ive found decent. Lighthouse Witches i didnt mind. Strong female characters. I just dont understand how some can get it so wrong."

"Not sure you should trust me with wrapping bouquets. These hands were not made for finesse." He held them up for a moment, rough and caloused from many years of war, hard work and wielding weapons. "Not sure your wonderful clients want their flowers done by an oaf."

"You sing my praises but Aerith I would put you out of business." He joked. Of course he didn't mind not being able to put a bouquet together, it was fun to joke around. Joking was not often something he did. "See we both have our skills which is why we work so well together." He smiled kindly. Plus he just enjoyed spending time with her. She was easy to get along with.

Shanks glanced over at the man, looking at the address the other held up. "You're in the very wrong place." The red haired man look up at the street sign then back at the address. "That is on the other side out town."

"Bad luck?" Velara mumbled, looking at her nails for a moment then back at the other woman. "There is a place called Forks? Wow some people really have no imagination." Sure there were some weird names where she was from but forks? That was a utensil. Idiots some of them. "Do you do this often? Ramble to strangers."

"We can only hope." She deserved peace. They all did. After everything that she had been through, that he had been through. Freedom and peace. An odd little family they seemed to be but a type of family. He would do what he could to keep them both safe. Mother and daughter. "Fingers crossed for this peace to be a long one." He smiled brightly at her. "Very ready for summer. Warm evenings, sitting out on the balcony. The park. And being a detective I don't have to worry too much uniform."

(¸.• ♛ → the girl now looked at the other one with a small smile, his company was really comforting, makes her feel safety about this, truly. "for now, that's the only thing that we need to do." hoping, even if sometimes she wasn't that good at that but for her daughter, she was really going to try. "i guess you are right about that. honestly i never really expected summer that much, well, as kid maybe but before with all the debts i used to have it was kind of hard to have some fun, it is nice now to have some freedom to do some things."

It was an odd feeling to have witnessed all of that to then just suddenly find themselves here and far away from all of that. "I agree." Hope wasnt something he used to have a lot of but it came back gradually. With In Ho giving him Soon-Bok and now being here with both Jun Hee and Soon-Bok. It felt like hope was never out of reach. "I understand. I think thats why maybe this summer will be more special because it can be properly enjoyed this time. To really take advantage of this opportunity."

"I do." Henry nodded slowly. He rubbed his chin slowly in thought, ice blue eyes gleaming in the light. "They tried to arrest me before. Drove the warden mad with fear. It was relatively easy to get out of. People feel uncomfortable around me, want to spend as little time around me as possible." He replied with a shrug. "Nothing compared to the lab." He rubbed the back of his neck thst still had the scar from the tracker. "Cannot become soft." He was gentler around her but for others. They needed to remember who he was.

"Thank you." Henry was honest in his words when he said that. He never had anyone be so nice to him. To care for him like she did. He didn't want to mess it up. He didn't want to hurt her. "I hope to not get you involved. Can't risk your safety." He took her hand gently into his his. Gentle was not a word that was often used with Henry Creel. Many might say there was not a kind or gentle bone in his body. He just buried any kindness way down.

"Aren't they, though? Pure magic." Gojo kept his glases on his nose for a moment. He had his technique active so they were shining as well. Like crystals in the sun. Nothing the world had ever seen. After a moment he slipped his glasses back on, covering them even in a cloudly day like today it was exhausting to have them uncovered. "Alright so be it." He held out his phone to her. "Let's say I can see curses better than anyone, from very very far away. Sense their ability, their strength. Were others can't see, I see perfectly."

"Many are." He teased her lightly. Though beautiful they came with responsibility, expectation and the weight of the world on his shoulders. He adjusted his sunglasses. He just hadnt felt like wearing the blindfold today. The glasses didnt protect the same as the blindfold but they were less annoying. "No of course and now I have your number if id ever want to invite you for a drink or something." A mischievous smile on his pale face as he accepted the phone back.
