addison let out an awkward laugh, setting down the other bags on the ground so she could collect her things. “thank you for catching that. i couldn’t imagine running down the street to chase that thing.” as she shuffled over to grab earth from the stranger, another model decided to make its way out of the fallen bag. “oh my god–” jupiter rolled past the two of them in a hurry, and addison was never very athletically gifted.

Cordelia didn’t usually call the plumber, her dad pretty much knew what he was doing, but when he didn’t pick up the phone due to him being at work, it’s not like she had much of a choice. It was either call the plumber now or wait another two hours until her dad got home from work to fix it and by then, she was almost certain it’d be double broken. Waiting in the living room, she honestly wasn’t sure how she even managed to break the sink in the first place, she’s never done anything like that before. She was just glad she called the plumber when she did, otherwise she’d probably be in big trouble.

Biting her nail, she looked up at the other as she waited for him to finish talking. “How much time do you need to fix it? No one besides me knows it’s even broken in the first place honestly. My mom’s at the store and my dad’s at work, so I didn’t exactly get the chance to even tell them yet.”

a month after her big move, and addison was still missing some essentials. she had forgotten how much work it was to uproot her entire life to relocate. she struggled with the bags in hand, letting out a yelp with the bottom of one bust open onto the sidewalk. “oh– shoot!”

Warren always had the hope that he could somehow wipe away the red in his ledger, that there was something he could do that would finally balance the scales. It led him to hunting demons that caught his attention - which, being fair, wasn’t very frequently at all. It led him to helping people when he could. Right now, it led him to giving this unlucky stranger a hand, always thinking ‘if this was my mum or sister what would I want a stranger to do for them?’

  “it was embarrassing to watch.” she responded, not so much in a harsh way either more like she was stating the obvious. of course not many might have noticed such as she did, honestly if the familiar dug deeper in herself she might’ve said she felt bad for him but the communicating the deeper things within ones self escaped her - just as her other form did. why exactly was she on two legs right now?  “of course though if i were you i would get one of those assistants people have, they can help you out all the time with things like that.”

“You sure?” Osiris’ lips twitched into a smile. Aside from the recent masquerade, he didn’t typically bump into his neighbor. Oz appreciated the coincidence. “He’s tall. Dark. Sparkly. Likes running around in the woods. I thought you two were besties.” He placed his drink back down before giving Warren a quick once-over. He lifted a brow. “Coffee run before another appointment?” Warren’s massive toolbelt was hard to miss. “I feel like you have your work cut out for you around here.” He folded a clean napkin to use as a bookmark. “All the old buildings… I’m sure the pipes are ancient.” Then with a delicate touch, Oz shut his book. He’d continue reading later. “Do you lay a lot of pipe, Warren?”

“ i could kiss you right now, “ for various reasons but that was besides the point. “ i owe you. free food of course and i’ll pay for whatever you need. “ hearing that it’ll take time isn’t the best news but she trusts him with her baby diner. “ ah- well… there was a fight. the ex boyfriend and current boyfriend of a waitress ran into each other and it wasn’t pretty. “ of course they hadn’t exactly been the ones to cause a hole. she’d tried to separate them but she’d been a little too intense with her powers and one of them had gone through the wall. on the upside they were both too concussed from their tussling to make much sense of what happened. “ who said chivalry was dead. “ sienna adds sarcastically. 

After Sienna’s sassy, cheeky comment it was on the tip of his tongue to say ‘why don’t you?’. He was glad he didn’t get the chance to as he got the story behind the hole in the wall. The boyfriend was the ex, and a aggressive by the sound of it. Warren frowned sympathetically, knowing if Sienna had been his sister there would have been more than a hole in the wall. Sienna had been so excited about the boyfriend too...a shame. A big shame. Sienna was nice; Warren had been happy for her even if it didn’t stop their cheeky, flirty banter.
