Skuld was not the type of individual to give up easily once she had set her mind on a goal. Even less so when it came to her duties. It was up to her to keep her people safe from any threats, and as such, she considered her studies to be an extension on these duties.

It was no secret that Völsung was a bit behind when it came to their technology, especially after that little history lesson her sister had greenlit. Before where she felt a certain leisure in taking classes, there was now a pressure to ensure she could provide the best findings possible. This was where the frustrations began to mount.

She'd made the decision to pay her professor a visit outside of class, hoping to clear up some of her confusions. Her entrance was prefaced with a gentle knock, and her posture was nothing short of rigid as she stepped into the room.

Cal rested on his cane and looked up at the dizzying skyscraper that made up Ciar Tower- the tallest building in the city.

And Cain was at the top. “You’re really gonna force my hand here, huh? Keep everyone else busy and call me out because you wanted a rematch.”

“Fine.” He dropped his coat to the floor and started to unlatch the hook from his arm, then the leg. As he fell, a bright flash of light. sprouted from him, starting from his missing eye and trailing along the scars. An arm and a leg formed in their place.

“Former bounty hunter, then a former templar. Funny thing about the templars, though.”

“We’re all awakeners, and I’ve been holding onto this for a long time.” As he rose, the light around him formed a pair of wings and a luminescent scythe. In a streak, he rose into the air as fast as his power would take him. Then he crashed onto the roof in a burst.

“CAIN!” 

Depending on how high ranking a client was when working with the Bundles of Lavender they were typically given options on where they would like their appointment to take place, it wasn’t when clients were given the choice to pick their own homes. 

Nava bid her driver farewell, letting them know that she would call give them a call when she was ready to be picked up. Personally, she would have preferred to have the appointment at her home studio, venturing out of Cherry Hills without a companion left her stomach twisting in a mess of anxieties. Still, she maintained her steady demeanor as she adjusted the bag over her shoulder before venturing into the building. After speaking to the receptionist she was allowed to ascend to the appropriate floor, truthfully she was surprised by how nice the building was. 

Puck woke with a groan, putting a hand to his head. It wasn’t the worst hangover he’d ever had, but it was enough to be disorienting. Pairing that with the unexpected feel of Sunil’s bed, with no sign of Sunil around, and not knowing where his shades or goggles were in relation to him. Good news, he knew he was home and could tell it was Sunil’s bed by scent and feel, so that was somewhat comforting. He could recall what happened at the hotel though things got fuzzy after he met back up with Sunil. Obviously they’d gotten home safely, and he vaguely remembered talking a lot....

Man, this shit was heavy. Maybe she should start working out more. She probably wouldn’t, but it was a nice thought. Julian hefted the bag to the best of her ability to try and get it into the shop. She had to use her foot to prop the door open while she maneuvered her way inside.

“Heya~. We’re just stopping by to pick up some stolen things. Do you happen to have a recovered wallet? It’s leather, has a blue crest on the front that looks like a sun?”

“They took my earring, and one of the badges from my coat. I had some medals there. Not that they’re real, but they were bloody expensive.... The earring's got a feather on it.”

Sun stood behind them, arms crossed with a wide smirk. “Oh, I didn’t lose anything, I just wanted to watch them try to get their stuff back. And this guy,” he pat Sage’s shoulder, “just needed to get out a little. We’ll be quiet.”

“You get pissy about going out to parties, but this is fun for you?”
