Angela promised Cedric that she would make him take him out for a picnic if he would follow the steps to get released, and he done so. She still hesitated for a few days, wanting to make sure he was actually healed enough to take a trip out into the woods. The citizens of MP were always warned of what resided in the forest, but Angela saw it as a safe spot and knew the perfect spot for them.

Once they set the date, she had gotten up early to make their food. By the time she was done, she could barely lift the basket, but she knew Cedric was more than capable of doing so. And, after a quick greeting and their journey, Angela set out their blanket in a nice secluded spot overlooking a small lake, setting out the food for them to eat.

Much to his annoyance, Yoongi had been tasked with showing a new detective around the precinct on his first day. It seemed like a waste of his time, considering he could be working on open cases. Or cold cases. Or paperwork. Or even training Storm. But whatever - Osiris was a pretty lenient boss, but he was not going to take advantage of that and argue on every little thing he didn’t want to do. Pick your battles and all that.

So there he was, sipping a coffee at his desk while he waited for the newbie to arrive. He wasn’t even feeling too grumpy about it. Well, until the guy walked in.

He nearly groaned out loud, seeing the hulk of a man enter the office. Moon Yoongi was insecure about very few things - but his generally petite stature was definitely one of those things. He could only imagine how little he would look next to... what was the guys name, anyway? He glanced down at one of the papers on his desk as he set his empty mug down. Cedric. From England. Right. Hopefully he knew Korean, or this was going to be even more painful than it already was.

Angela cursed herself as she stood before her mirror. While she looked phenomenal and the potion she drank from Hecate had temporarily made the scars on her shoulder and arm disappear, Angela was completely out of her element. She was glad her son was already with her babysitter because she had no idea how she could have explained the outfit to him. Shuttering at the thought, the ring of the doorbell pulled her from her thoughts. 

She knew immediately that it had to be Cedric, and a part of her urged herself not to answer the door. But, she was too far gone, and so she crossed the house to open the door. Taking a deep breath, she reached up to straightened the curly red hair of her wig. After a second, she finally pulled opened the door.

Angela had been busy with working on the decorations outside in the morning. She was not the perfect gardener, but she knew just enough to keep up the main floral pieces that decorated the exterior. So, as customers started to slowly file into the cafe, she was atop a ladder, pulling the weeds out the last plant that draped over the door. Angela was so glad to be nearly done. 

She had been blessed with peace. In moments of chaos from a sudden crowd trying to get their cup of coffee, Angela’s ladder got accidentally knocked, sending the demigoddess off the wooden frame and headed toward the ground. With closed eyes and not enough to think, the woman felt herself half mid-air, caught in the firm grasp of another. 

Finally opening her eyes, they widen as she spotted who her savior was. “Cedric?” She spoke in nearly shock. Had it been nearly anybody else, she was sure she would have landed straight on the ground. And, she luckily felt comfortable being around Cedric. They had spoken enough times that she considered him a friend. So, as she rested in his arms, the spike of adrenalize slowly calmed enough to really address the situation. The firm grip around her waist, their close proximity, and her hands on his chest, it embarrassed her far too much, pulling a bright shade of red on her cheeks.

Siwoo bounced around the demigoddess excitedly until she was able to grab his hand with hers. Her other arm carried a basket full of flowers that her son intended to give to the many participants of the Gala. He had really wanted to make sure everyone felt appreciated that evening for their good looks and fashion sense. 

As they got to the entrance, she did not have the hands to open the door, but a figure slid past her to open it for her. Surprised, the demigoddess did not say anything until realizing who it was. 

Hecate places her hand on Angela's shoulder. "I know it's sudden, but he is safe now and I believe he'd like to see you." The goddess held her to-go coffee mug and before leaving the shop, she added. "Seek me if you're still confused but I recommend visiting him first." She gave Angela a warm smile and nod before leaving.

Some time had passed since she spoke to Hecate, almost to where she had forgotten about it entirely. Though the nagging concern had eaten at her, she surely did not know what "complicated" had mean, and she had a rather bad feelings about it. Hecate's appearance grabbed her attention, though she had always greeted the goddess as she did the others. Her visage deepened that concern, because she approached her like someone prepared to deliver bad news.

Taken the box, she opened it to see the very familiar necklace. Popping her glance up to the other, Hecate finally announced it. Hospital? There it was. The bad news. "Understood. Thank you, Hecate." She finally speaks before soon waving off the goddess as she left.

The familiar voice had Noel stopping on his tracks in surprise, turning to see none other than Cedric as a big smile painted over his lips. "Cedric!" He greeted, unfazed by the question or any undertone in it. It'd been far too long since he saw the man, and while they might not be 'friends', there wasn't a reason for Noel to greet him as if they weren't.

"Well, I'm a big fan of art pieces, you see." He teases, fully aware that the cheekiness of his comment might raise a few more questions. Truthfully, he just wanted to experiment a place like a normal person would; no secret planning, no efforts in figuring out the best way around vigilance, just finding out what it was like to enjoy something with no other intention aside from genuine interest.

"I'm kidding. I'm just giving this whole civilian thing a shot, you know? See if all the trouble I caused you to get here was worth it."

[ txt ] Hey, Ced. We are good. Siwoo has been staring at the window all day, but once it his mid-way to the door, he changed his mind lol.
