ft. Yeji ( @mpyeji ) & Theodora | continued from here.

Theodora decided it was time to take a break from work and have a little snack. From afar, when she was stepping away from the vending machine, which was always her best friend and her worst enemy, she spotted Yeji. Now, it wasn't like her to make a habit of stalking people, but when they last met, Yeji struck her as a nice and friendly person. Why should Theodora turn away in the face of making a friend?

With a Snickers bar in one hand and a cup of coffee and milk in the other, the young historian made her way to the other girl and offered her company. Thank goodness, Yeji agreed with it. Otherwise, it would've been awkward.

"I heard of that book and author before, but I never read it," Theodora commented, sipping on her drink while her eyes fixed on the orange cover with bold letters. "I think he has another book with a similar title. Everyone had their own copy of that one, a couple of years ago." In the same way, everyone seemed shocked by the cursing on the title. Theodora found it fun. But then again, Theodora was a teenager when the book came out. It felt self-explanatory.

"Thank you Blair." With a soft voice, Yeji rested her chin on Blair's shoulder with droopy ears and blinked slowly, her focus being slowly stolen due to her need to sleep. It had been a rather fun day, between shopping and being around her closest friend but now weather decided to play difficult, pouring outside to the point the sound was bothersome. "I don't like to have my tail wet. And heavy rain scares me, but, at least I get to spend the night!"

"Sure, sure." An amused smile played on his lips as he put the weights back in their place and looked at the petite woman on the training tool. "You just looked a bit…" he thought for a moment to find the right words. "struggeling." To be honest, she looked like she was going to be crushed by the weight at any moment and he couldn't bear to see that.

It'd been a rough night. Kaya had been staying up with Carter for a couple of days seeing as neither of them found peaceful slumber for the past few weeks. They both had their reasons, and their friendship was just soothing enough that it allowed for them to be there when they needed it. "Sorry?" She tried blinking herself awake, straightening her back against her seat while everyone else was having breakfast at Honeypot.

She must've been quite the sight; dark circles paired with her night colored hair and lazy clothes, the hood of her oversized hoodie draped over her head. "Oh, well, it's been a while." Kaya smiled softly at Yeji as she held her coffee close to her chest, trying to take in every bit of its warmth. "It's not too bad, I promise." She tried reassuring the sweet girl, even though she guessed her appearance didn't help much. "This coffee and the rest that will come after it will help fix it!"

That would be true enough.

Noel hummed, taking a sip of his drink as he turned to look at the cute little thing in front of him. He hadn't had the chance to meet her, not really, but he'd seen her around at Honeypot before and Invidia had told him about her when she started working at Babylon. Yeji. Her name was Yeji. She was sweet, according to what his lover had shared and was always nice to people, so her comment to him felt more like a light hearted way to break the ice.

"Then that must be because we haven't met!"

It was one of those days where Carter tagged along with Kaya and her friends. A group of them wanted to get together at Honeypot to annoy and enjoy Dakota's food and he was sure Kaya only went to eat her heart out while keeping an eye on him. He'd been feeling down and exhausted so his friend being the way she is, just wanted to make sure he'd be alright.

It'd been a tough couple of weeks for him, so the change of air was more than welcome.

Sleep had graced her long enough to plague her with nightmares. Whether it was her ex-husband or Minry, the two seemed to consistently pop up in her sleep to find some way to make her life hell, as if they had not done enough already. She was sure it spurred from their reunion, but it was not helping her.

When the other woman noticed her, she lifted a somber smile to them. She cared not to dump her emotions on the other. They seemed far too kind to have to do that. "Just had too much caffeine. I'm now suffering." She lied with good intentions. "Same for you?"

There were things about Alex, he’d rather keep private. Or at least not reveal right away. His tendency—one might even call it talent—to hurt himself in the most ridiculous ways, would be one of those things.

Though, to his credit, he did make it almost a full day before he managed to scrape his palms along the pavement when he tried to carry one too many boxes into his apartment. Whether the fact that he had an audience when fell was a blessing or a curse was, however, still debatable.

His eyes were fixed on the tiny pools of blood that barely formed full droplets. He barely felt it even when he brushed away the excess dirt and debris that lodged itself within his skin earlier, but he would still consider it an inconvenience to his day.

“Oh, I’m good!” Holding both of his hands up to stop her, Alex offered a small smile and shook his head. “Very kind of you, though! Stuff like that happens all the time. It’s much better already. See?”
