Devil in Me

 ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* THE ELDER WARLOCK made a mental note to read the instructions properly before going ahead and doing it by instincts. ❝ baking is a science after all, not something you can play with on a whim. ❞ she said with a nod of her head. ❝ ah, you’re being too kind on me, child. just say it like it is: reese, you’re really bad at baking. ❞ she nudged her softly as a chuckle came out.

“Do shadowhunters even go to fast food restaurants like Mcdonalds, KFC or some other fast food establishments? Like, I have never seen any take-out bags in the institute nor some happy meals. No wonder you’re all so serious all the time.”

“llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch,” asio pronounced in perfect welsh from the book he was reading, “odd name, innit? it’s a village in wales. i’m surprised they don’t have an institute there.” his team had been assigned at harrington library for some reason. the place didn’t seem too special but their team role specifically said to defend it at all costs. as you can tell, asio was bored as hell so he grabbed a book to hopefully quell his boredom.

  ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* THE HIGH WARLOCK’S forehead furrowed as she thought of it carefully. ❝ aren’t you supposed to put heaps of sugar in cookies ? ❞ she asked again, looking down on the bowl that contained the ingredients for sugar cookies. ❝ is that a nice way of telling me i’m old ? but seriously i haven’t baked in ages. ❞ literally.

“Oh dear,” Sorem spoke, “sorry for waking you up omg. I haven’t seen anything for the past four hours and y’know what, lemme just end the call and let you sleep omg. Good night, sorry,” she spoke, noticing how tired her voice sounded. Sorem felt bad for interrupting her beauty sleep.

“Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine. How’s the rest of my team?”

aster glanced at the offered hand in front of her, and took it with a grateful smile as she got to her feet. ‘ yep, nothing’s bruised. (just her pride) that’s good right? that gives us a chance to rest and come up with new strategies. ‘   

   ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* THE IMMORTAL BEING turned her attention towards the young girl before her. ❝ well, child ? better spill it out. wasting time — especially mine — is something i don’t engage in. ❞

“Sometimes you don’t need to be in the field to know what is going on,” advised Godiva before sipping on the glass of wine in her hands, returning to her cauldron. “There are agents outside of the Institute that we can use to our advantage. Ones that will for the most part be ignored by both our own people and any troublemakers we might come across…” The older warlock started to collect new ingredient before setting them into the pot.

          Kris’s first reaction to the surprised exclamation was to point out that it was her fault for not noticing his presence, but since he was trying to get along more with the other Shadowhunters after being scolded by a few others, the young male refrained && bit the inside of his cheek in an attempt to consolidate his words.

          “Right, sorry ─── Forgot that my stealth runes are active. Grown accustomed to them, I guess.” He explained, shoving lithe hands into the back pockets of his jeans. White && black vans scuffed the ground, the soles pure ebony while the pale material stood untainted. “What am I doing here, you ask?” Kris supplied, making sure he understood the question being asked as he roamed his way forward, his destination being the ledge he usually sat upon. “Well, I usual hide from everyone up here.”

         “No, no, it’s alright—– I should ‘ave noticed you were there. I guess I was just lost in my own thoughts.” Not to mention the fact that Madeline wasn’t expecting anyone to come up here. Her back leans up against the nearby wall, focusing on her fingers as she fidgets with them.

“Thanks for the head’s up but it all seems clear. Suspiciously clear, to be more exact.”

aster was going around surveying the area, making sure everything was in order when she tripped over her own two feet causing her to fall forward ━ face first right in front of someone, much to her chagrin. she huffed before brushing her hair out of her face, a smile on her lips. play it cool.

     ‘ sooo, anything to report? ‘

     Madeline can’t help but grimace upon the girl falling face first front of her, a small sigh escaping her lips. She can’t imagine how much that would’ve hurt & was just glad the other seemed to be alright, seemingly playing it off as if it was nothing at all. A hand is held out in order to help the girl to her feet.

          “What are you doing here?” Kris asked, seeming to appear out of no where when his footsteps were just so quiet that rarely anyone ever heard him approach. “Looking for some fresh air or something?”
