(( I mean the boi needs some tough questions so *shot* ))

💣: Did they ever get caught in a situation because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time? 

Did you mean; Iolar’s entire life? *shot* Okay but now serious time. If you ever hear Iolar, Eva, or Jace mention a Budapest job- there’s a reason it’s code word for ‘everything went wrong’. Iolar in particular got roped into the Budapest job by being simply in the country when Eva called for help. He went immediately, but the job ended up in both him and Eva seriously injured, and each of them captured by police, a pissed off gang, and they barely managed to get out alive in the end. Now, it’s become an easy code for letting any of his inner circle know that things went wrong, or that someone is in serious trouble, without alerting anyone else to what is going on.

✪: Have they ever let a rare opportunity slip them by? 

Iolar rarely lets opportunities pass him by. Very rarely. At least-… in his professional life. In his personal life, he rarely falls for people. Due to his trust issues and the nature of his work, he keeps everyone at arm’s length. However, those in his inner circle, he has actually developed feelings for both his best friend, Jace, and his student / rival, Eva, in the past. He had a chance to actually make something with Eva, they both had a deep trust in each other and ended up spending a night together, but Iolar cut it off. He was afraid, and didn’t want to risk his friendship with her if things went wrong. Which, in his mind, things always went wrong when it came to him. Eva took it gracefully, and currently, Iolar simply views Eva and Jace as very close friends. 

Something still bothers him about letting everything go, some nights. Those are generally nights Iolar has more than his normal one glass of wine, and occasionally even switches to harder liquors. 

💋: Where did they have their first kiss? Do they remember who it was with? 

“That implies that Aelian wanted to be anything at all.” The Indian man muttered, before sighing, folding his arms as he leaned back in his writer’s chair. Kavi looked up at the stranger, frowning deeply. “… Aelian, whatever he may call himself how, seemed aimless for the longest time. When he was a young boy, he’d tote being an artist, or a doctor, or any number of things, but then when it came down to it, every one of them was just a phase that lasted a few weeks at best.” 

“Commitment. The kid never had it.” Kavi sighed, running a hand down his face. “… I always thought he might follow in my footsteps, be an author. Honestly, he has a way with words. He could tell rather intense stories. Mostly about these shadows he claimed to see.” His eyes grew dark for a moment, before shaking his head.

Kavi sighed, standing and walking to a bookshelf inside his office. He pulled one particular book off of the shelf, titled ‘Depths’. He seemed to thumb through it, his eyes softening for a moment. He seemed almost sad. “… Aelian has a lot of potential, don’t get me wrong. I just hope one day he learns how to use that potential properly. We all strive for it, but he always seems aimless.”
