#aurelien 01.

Person: @aurelientrader Location: Isak's Personal Office, Eterna "Come in." Whoever had approached the door hadn't knocked yet, but he heard the footsteps and had a vague idea what time it must be. Going between Eterna and Caer Glass wasn't easy and the sacrifice he'd made was that his personal office was more a glorified study. Meant for note taking, samples, simple things that didn't require a full lab. Most of his time was spent just giving people referrals to other people he trusted in the city. Still, it's not something he entirely minds and he sits at his desk that's surface is organized chaos and he looks up to meet the gaze of whoever stood in the doorway. "Aurelien, right?"

Person: @aurelienpatenaude Location: A PreGaming Lupercalia Party that I Can Transition to Lupercalia When the Time Comes note: that homoerotic friendship went crazy "Is that the last of the gin?" Escaping the throng of people in varying states of inebriation, he'd made his way back to the kitchen area and someone has beat him to the liquor on the counter. Etienne has had a bit already in the spirit of the upcoming practical holiday. It's the house of a wolf and her witch girlfriend, supposedly they'd chosen some big house in the city than in Lupercal to be together. They were sweet, both of them frequent flyers at Thistle House, he'd thought it'd be rude not to attend and it wasn't like he didn't know people there. He didn't expect to see that person he knew. The alcohol turns what would be shock into almost giddiness, he doesn't stop moving into the kitchen as Aurelien turns around, gets right into his personal space. They're French, he grins, he rises up on his feet a bit to kiss at two high cheekbones before he's stepping away and just looking at him. It'd been about two years, he texted, but he hadn't actually seen his university roommate since the whole bite situation and that was his own fault. "What are you doing here?"

Person: @aurelientrader Location: Mercury's Bazaar, Progress Day BAYBEE Surely he was hallucinating. Of all the places in all of Lysara, out of all the corners of Taravell that he'd already searched, there was the shadow he hadn't seen in nearly two decades. And he was right under his nose. There was no mistaking the curls and the doe eyes, he'd seen them all wide eyed and taking in the sight of the fissures in the cavern to know. He looks....Aurelien looks just fine standing there near one of the booths. And he doesn't know what to make of that, there's relief and yet there's always that thought in the back of his head, the one that's been there for years. What if Aurelien hadn't wanted to be found? What if he had truly abandoned them for this realm? What if he was truly happy amongst the mortals? Would it be selfish to disturb their peace? Thalindor decides that the answer is both yes and no. Aurelien deserves happiness, but their mother deserved some kind of closure. He deserved some kind of closure. But he keeps his approach through the crowd subtle, offers a familiar whistle on his way past, the one they'd use to signal to one another in the cavern and he planned to just let that be, to let Aurelien realize he was there on their own. Except Vee had other plans and the moment the tiny creature caught sight of the other elvhen, he was sprinting down Thalin's arm from his perch on his shoulders and beelining it right for Aurelien. Well, that was one way to do it.

Person: @aurelientrader Location: Thee Shop notes: i cannot believe youve done this "Aurelien." Nero actually cannot bring himself to move consider there is a half broken bottle of bergamot in his hand and the rest of it on the floor. It smells wonderful but it is going to soak into his hardwood flooring, and they are going to be smelling it for weeks. "Aurelien please enlighten me as to why I just tripped over a box of vials?" When he gets his hand on that tricky little twink he's going to be firm this time! He won't be tricked by those big doe eyes and bouncy curls!

Person: @aurelientrader Location: The Streets of Eterna "It's not looking good, boss." There's no legitimate employment between the two, but it's a joke Rowan takes seriously. But Aurelien is a friend and so he does try to keep him in the loop when there's too many whispers. Aventia had fallen, people were fleeing from Haven, the queen of the Wildlands taking precautions. If Haven fell, the darkspawn would continue to spread and it wouldn't be long til they were at their doorstep.
