Andromeda Hale

Andromeda let a smile play easily on her lips now as the younger woman told her that thinking about the worse things didn't actually help anything. Though she herself was much older than her friend across the table, she had much to learn from the younger woman. She nodded her head in agreement and a small than you, knowing that she was right and to try not to dwell on the bad things.
She was surprised that Coralyn had written out that she probably didn't explain it well. Andromeda couldn't help but doubt that was the problem. Being as old as she was, she hadn't exposed herself to things as much as she should have. It was all to Calista's dismay of course. The fiery 'younger' sister who loved the way the world worked and embraced technology. Seeing her reach her hand over to comfort her though, Andromeda smiled and placed her hand over the other woman's. "Thank you, though I think I am mostly to blame due to my lack of understanding the way the world is now." She hinted more towards her actual age this time, knowing that the other woman thought they were likely close in age. "But I am willing to try and learn. It seems like a fascinating time of year." Patting her friend's petite hand, she pulled her own back, watching as she responded to her question about what she had gotten her special man. Her eyes sparkled a little in joy as she watched her reaction to the attention being turned to her. Not that she enjoyed others discomfort, but it was nice to see someone with genuine reactions to attention being fully on them.
Thinking on what she said, how she hadn't found that something special yet, it was a familiar feeling as to how Andromeda viewed this holiday so far. It wasn't special yet to her, but maybe if she found that one thing that just lit the spark in her. Rubbing her jaw with her knuckles absentmindedly in thought, she turned her eyes to her cup, wondering what could possibly be the spark.
Reading the next bit thought that Coralyn suggested they go to 'Not so Catwalk', she smiled and nodded. "Sure, I'd love to see what the shopping district is up to for this time of year." Something she did miss about this time of year though, was the snow that other areas had. It got cold here for the locals, but having traveled and been all over the world, the lack of snow was empty feeling for her. She loved watching the environment change with the seasons. Standing from her seat slowly, she offered a hand to Coralyn to help her out of her seat, not that she'd need the help, but it was just a friendly gesture in Andromeda's eyes. "Shall we?"

Mood: Nervous, but happy Location: Moonbucks Cafe Thoughts: I wish I understood this holiday... Company: Coralyn. Money: 100$ OOC: So sorry about the wait! If you want to just post over there, that's fine. smile

Arabella entered the cafe and immediately shivered a bit due to the change in temperature. It was quite chilly! She wasn't a stranger to snow, but that didn't mean she enjoyed the cold! It could be colder though. Wrinkling her nose a little at the very thought, the young woman pulled off her gloves and shoved them in the pockets of her coat. Wiping her boots off on the rug, she stepped further into the cafe and sniffed deeply. Ahh~ The smell of coffee was so pleasant! She had just finished unpacking the last of her stuff and deserved a treat! She would also have to stop by that pet store she saw on her way here as her babies deserved a treat as well for being so well behaved during the move.

Bella had seen some posters for a ball that was being held in town and normally she would have loved to go, but she was a bit burnt out from the move, plus she didn't have a ballgown and with no money... Yes papa would have just given her the money to buy a new dress, but he already gave her money to furnish her new home. He was firm in saying that she should be living in a fully furnished home. Smiling softly to herself, Bella realized she was in the way of the door and quickly shuffled up to the counter.

It only took a few seconds to make her decision. "Could I get a large vanilla caramel coffee and a banana muffin please." She said, smiling sweetly at the cashier. Giving the woman her name, Bella stepped off to the side to wait for her order. This was the first time she was going to be living completely on her own and the thought made her a bit nervous. This city was brand new to her... what if she had trouble making new friends? The thought was in her mind, but making friends had never been an issue for her. Since she was a child she would just go up to someone she wanted to be friends with and talk to them. It was simply her nerves making her doubt herself and once she saw the first person she wanted to make friends with all those nerves would go away.

OOC: Sorry if this isn't great. I'm a bit rusty. D:

With her "parents" having date night at the winter ball tonight, this left Emi by herself to do whatever she wanted. She didn't feel left out, in fact, she actually urged those two to spend some time together. They deserved it! What better way to spend the night with each other than going to the ball? Besides, Emi didn't think she was all that ready to attend one. Not only because ball gowns made her a little bit self conscious, but just thinking about the VAST amount of city folks going to the event was just overwhelming in of itself. The little mute had came a long way from being a nervous wreck in public, but even that kind of thing would send her into a panic. She wanted to start small, so Emi eventually got dressed, got Bunta in their little coat, packed him in the backpack carrier and headed out for a little coffee.

As the woman entered the cafe, the warmth from building soaked into her skin. Moonbucks was always such a cozy little place! Even Bunta was enjoying! The line for coffee was super short, too. Big crimson eyes scanned the menu board before she eventually typed out her order and presented the lit up phone screen to the cashier. [ One large caramel macchiato and a pain de chocolat, please~ ] As soon as she paid, Emi stepped over to the side where the orders were called out and picked up. While she was patiently waiting, a really pretty stranger caught her eyes. Her fun colored hair caught her attention the most! While Emi normally wasn't one to be outgoing and start up a conversation first, she was still trying to push herself out of her comfort zone. She had already gotten as far as venturing out by herself, so why not compliment a stranger? Her thumbs typed out a quick message before she shuffled a little nervously towards the girl and tapped her shoulder. [ Your hair is super pretty! Is it natural or did you color it that way? ]

Arabella softly hummed a tune to herself as she waited for her name to be called. She made certain that she was being quiet enough to not disturb those around her though. She wasn't paying much attention to the people around her until the young woman next to her tapped her shoulder. Turning her head, Bella took notice of how adorable the stranger was and she had a similar hair color! Pink wasn't super uncommon now a days, but it still excited her to see others with pink hair. Her lime green eyes flicked down to the phone the girl was holding and she cocked her head to the side a little bit as she read over the text. She found it a little unusual to be shown a phone, but she just assumed the other might just be to shy to talk or maybe they couldn't talk. Back in school, she became friends with a girl that was partially deaf and she took it upon herself to learn some sign language so she could communicate with her friend when she wasn't wearing her hearing aid.

Seeing the compliment made her perk up even more and a smile spread over her face. "Thank you so much! I love your hair too." She returned the compliment. "The pink is natural, but the green is dyed. I thought it would be cute to match my eyes." It was sometimes difficult as a kid trying to explain to adults that her hair was natural and not dyed. Most of them never believed her... not that it was ever really any of their business! Bella was super proud of her hair, it made her stand out! "How about your hair?" She had met a few others in her lifetime that were also born with unnatural colors, not that natural colors weren't beautiful as well! "Vanilla caramel for Bella?" The barista called out when her coffee was done. "Oh. That's me, if you'll excuse me for a second." Stepping forward, she grabbed her coffee and muffin before turning to the girl again. "Maybe we could sit together? If you don't mind of course!" Arabella's personality could be a bit much for some people and there were certainly some that let her know loud and clear they found her annoying, but she still had to try and make a new possible friend.

Whoa! She hadn't met anyone else with naturally pink hair, too! It was a small thing to be super excited about, but it was an exciting detail for the little mute. Her thumbs tapped away for another message before presenting the screen to the woman once more. [ My hair is naturally pink, too! My dad said it runs on his side of the family, surprisingly. ] Emi had always thought about dyeing other parts of her hair just to make it more fun. She'd have to ask Val at some point to help her out with it. It wasn't long before the woman's name was called for her order, and soon after, Emi's. She followed behind the other girl as she also picked up her coffee and sweet treat.

Being offered to sit with her, Emi graciously agreed. A small chat over some coffee was actually comfortable for this little anxious mute to do. Besides, making more friends was fun, right? She gave her new companion a nod and ushered them over to a small booth nearby. It was right next to a little bay window so Bunta could lay on there to look outside. Sliding into one side, Emi took off the backpack carrier and unzipped the opening for the fat calico to slowly crawl out. She wasn't sure if the cafe would honestly allow him out, but he was a well behaved boy and never ventured far from Emi. [ My name's Emi, by the way! This his Bunta. ] The girl gave her chubby kitty a little scratch on his chin before he turned his gaze over to the other girl. His face was blank, but he did give a slow blink and a meow as if greeting her.

"That's cool! I rarely meet others with naturally colorful hair." When she was a kid and younger teen adults used to give her judgy looks, but she quickly learned to just ignore them. Taking her coffee and muffin, Bella was happy to see that the other young woman was willing to sit with her. She hadn't been here even a week and she possibly just made a new friend! How exciting! The cafe wasn't very busy and there were a few open tables, but she decided the booth with the large window would be the best option. There was nothing better than sipping coffee and looking out the window while talking with a new friend. Not long after she sat down Bella lifted her cup to her mouth and took a small sip, the coffee was hot and burned her tongue a little bit, but it was very tasty. Curiously watching as the young woman across from her removed her backpack, Bella's eyes lit up when she saw there was a cat in there. She hadn't even noticed the adorable kitty!

"I'm Arabella, but you can call me Bella if you'd like." She replied after Emi introduced herself and the little kitty. "It's nice to meet both of you." Giggling softly when the cat meowed, Bella reached her hand towards him to let the cat sniff at her before she gently brushed her fingers over the top of his head. "I have a kitty too... two of them actually. Nyx and Aurora." After giving Bunta a couple scratches, she sat back in her seat again. "I also have a snake named Haku." People were usually less enthusiastic about the snake, but he was a docile boy that liked to just hang out. It was Aurora that was the ball of energy and a sassy brat. "How long have you been living in Soleil?" She asked curiously. Perhaps Emi would be willing to show her around the town.

Damen was sitting at one of the tables in the cafe. His usual cheerful expression was gone from his features and had made way for a somewhat saddened expression though at this moment it also showed concentration as he looked at his laptop. He had taken it with him to the cafe and it was on the table in front of him on his business e-mail account. Next to him was a cup of steaming Latte Macchiato, untouched, with a cookie on the side. The shadow demon had ordered it when he arrived. When he woke up this morning alone, Damen just didn’t feel at ease in his house. For so long it had functioned as a house for both Mark and him. His house was filled with shared laughter and memories to a relationship like no other. Mark had left Soleil though and he had broken up with Damen before he went. While they parted in peaceful ways, it still deeply hurt Damen and he had fully returned to his old habits of throwing himself on work whenever he could, much to his friend Aldon’s chagrin.

The elf had seen Damen finally liven up and take a break from work as he had been advised to by the doctor. But this break up had changed it around again. Damen looked at his screen as he typed a reply back to a business partner about his engineering skills with the toys for children. His typing was quite fast and not once did he glance at the keys while typing. The shadow demon sighed after reading through his email and sending it out. He then lifted his hand to his head and rubbed gently, trying to lower the headache that was building up. When that didn’t have the desired effect, Damen reached for his coffee, drank some of it before he opened the next email and started to read the new information he was sent by one of his employees about developments at the factory. It looked like Aldon had it all well in hand, yet the CEO couldn’t help but be an active part of the company again, no matter what he had been advised. It distracted him of the recent changes in his personal life.

John wrapped his knuckles with a bandage wrap from last night. He didn't want trouble, but they insisted. Grabbing a cigar, he flicked his lighter and did a sip before letting the smoke leak out from the edges of his lips.
Since when did John start to smoke again? He can't remember, but he does this whenever he feels stressed. His business is alright. What bothers him now is his love life.

In slow-motion, John walks into the halls of his house, and every member that encounters him would make a small bowing gesture in respect to their leader. This Russian mobster keeps his reputation in check and his status in the black market.

Upon exiting his house, two elite bodyguards tagged along. And Dausha, one of his loyal nannies waved goodbye and safe travels as John drove off to his whereabouts for the day.

John was silent as he continues to drive, heading to the Cerise Shopping District. He would then finish off his cigar by pushing it on an ashtray located nearby the bottom portion of his dashboard. "I need a good coffee." He muttered silently as he slowed the car down and parked it outside the Moonbucks Coffee Shop.

"Did you boys have your breakfast yet?" John addressed his bodyguards at the backseat of his car. The two would then look at each other and be hesitant to reply. "Yes. Mister King." replied the other. John would then nod slightly and flicks his head outwards, signaling them to follow him into the coffee shop.
After exiting his vehicle, John would adjust his coat as he looked around the left and right. "Come on, let's get some coffee. It's still cold. ~Nothing beats this weather but with a nice aroma of coffee." He said before closing the door of his car.

[ENTER]

Moving on into Moonbucks, his bodyguards tailed him along. But they were acting to be just simple customers to make it not too obvious and suspicious for the others. However, their senses remained keen and never lets their guard down in protecting their boss.
.... "доброе утро, One large coffee, and a slice of sweet pies. ~Give me your best-selling coffee." John would then turn around to face his bodyguards and say, "Order anything you can handle. Don't be shy." John would nod with a serious tone tho his facial expression is nonchalant.

John would then sit to the nearest seat he could find and grabbed his phone, checking on schedules and even posting in charmblr but he didn't check the newsfeed. And after that, he looked around his vicinity and saw Damen. His rather bored/nonchalant expression changed seeing Damen by coincidence. He is in a glad mood now. And with no second to waste, he stood up and heads closer to Damen.
... "Damen, my friend! I didn't expect to see you here. Haha!" John would give Damen a half hug to the side as he pats Damen's back.
... "Are you waiting for someone?" John would ask as he looked around before continuing, "Mind if I could join you?" Tho whatever Damen would respond, John would still sit at the opposite end of the table. Invasive? Maybe. He is just happy to see a familiar face at the start of his day.

Damen paid little attention to the surroundings as his focus remained on the screen of his laptop. He didn’t notice the people coming in or leaving or who stayed inside and who just came by to pick up and leave again. While he drank some coffee in the cafe, he was typing a reply to another company. Of course he made sure not to work on anything that required sensitive handling, but right now there were just general questions for himself. Of course Aldin would have preferred the man steered clear for a while, especially considering his recent break up with Mark, but Damen wanted nothing of it and had dived right back into it all. Many contacts were delighted to hear from him personally again, which made the demon feel like it was the right call.

The young man looked up for a moment when he heard a child nearby and watched for a moment as they interacted with who he assumed was the mother. The boy’s face showed that he was drinking hot chocolate while their presumed mother drank coffee. Despite himself, a small smile played over the young man’s lips as he watched them. After a moment of watching that unfold, Damen turned back to his laptop and finished his email before he sighed a bit and stretched a little. During the past while he hadn’t noticed John entering the cafe, though he vaguely registered the familiar voice.

He didn’t realize until he suddenly felt an arm around him and John spoke right next to him. Taken aback for a split second, Damen looked up at John and smiled. They were a welcome distraction if he had to be honest. "Good morning John. Didn’t expect to run into you here today either." he replied and watched as they sat down. Of course he didn’t mind. "Feel free. I’m not waiting on anyone. I’m just doing some low key emails for Toy Jungle." Right, low key wasn’t the right word as he had gone straight in full again, but he was telling the truth when it came to replying to work related emails. "What brings you here? And what have you done with your hand?" Damen asked a question to John in turn, followed by a more concerned tone of inquiry when he noticed the wrapping around his friend’s hand.

It had been a hot minute since he and John met, they were both business men after all. Of course Damen hadn’t forgotten about them, nor the offer that was on the table between them. He had given it a lot of thought and while he was planning to call John about his decision, it had kind of slipped his mind once Mark left him. Though sitting here now with his friend, he fully recalled it. Still it could wait, Damen didn’t want to throw John straight into business at this early hour though and the demon wouldn’t mind a calm coffee with them either, it had been a while.

The day started not that long ago. Seth was looking at the sky as it was still orange from the sunrise. He held a croissant in one hand and his mobile in the other as he looked through what he had missed. There was a lot of Charmblr but he clicked those away easily as none of it applied to him. The magi smiled when he saw an update about the wolves he started following not that long ago. It gave him photos and information about them as they lived their peaceful lives in the conservation center. He then put his mobile away, finished his croissant and went about his cleaning in his house. It was one of the joys of living here by himself, especially since the bodyguard left. He could fully enjoy living. Seth cleaned up the house top to bottom before he went into the shower and got dressed. For today he chose ankle high jeans, a white shirt and a black zipped hoodie with a logo on it from the aquarium at the beach on the back.

When he was done he ran out, grabbed a pair of ankle socks as he passed his closet and made a beeline for the door and put on his warm jacket. Sitting down he put on his socks, a pair of sneakers and after getting up and tapping his foot on the floor he locked the house behind him and started to walk to the Moonbucks Café. As he made his way there he already thought about the menu of the place as he thought of what to get this time. Their drinks and snacks were amazing. Of course it never stayed with one or two snacks for Seth, he always ended up buying loads. A smile played over his lips as he thought of the menus and he sped up his gait to get to the café faster. It didn’t take him long to get there once he started to run. Seth walked straight in and to the counter where he sat down to wait.
