@heroexxs based here muse: aurelia shen

aurelia couldn't get her off her mind, the pretty girl from the weekend who held her close. whose lips became a dream on hers, she was all consuming. the night had ended too soon and she regretted not getting her number, or some sort of communication to see her again. but then again, aurelia was a big believer in the universe, so she prayed (despite not being a religious believer), that it would do by right by her. stepping into her favorite coffee shop, she pulling her headphones off to glance around, wondering if any of her friends were around when there she was. the glowing girl from the weekend seated at a table, and aurelia felt her heart leap. this was her chance, the universe had a plan. stepping out of line she tried to steady her heart as she stepped over, tucking a wild strand of hair behind her ear. "wow! the universe decided to be on my side today." she laughed stepping over. "i thought i'd never see you again."

[gcldcnhour]

she can't help but shake her head, leaning back in her seat and away from ingrid. "not worth it. not in the slightest. find someone else you hate but my god....not your ex! don't give them that satisfacation that you can like...easily come crawling back to them." they shrug, hands reaching for their glass and hands wrapping around it. "you're better than that, and they don't deserve you. not even for hate sex." maybe she was getting a little too serious but...she couldn't stand ingrid's ex. they deserved much better.

"No dude, I know!" They laughed it off, holding up their hands in a request for clemency. Still, Ingrid leaned in. "You haven't had hate sex? Best kind of sex there is, I'm telling you." Ingrid grinned. "It's intense. The bruises last for weeks." This was why they knew they should have left their phone at home. "You never know what you're getting with a stranger. If you want to get the job done, you need someone whose work you've seen, you get me?"

WHO: @drownholywater-kennedy WHERE: Baliol Springtime Street Fair, Sunset

It's strange being back home after all this time. Some street corners are more familiar than not, others more foreign. But that sunset remains same no matter where Shiv finds themself. Its a shame to not stop and appreciate the sights yet they had places to be, people to talk to. A very important person as matter of fact.

Shiv spots the older brunette by the fish taco stand, holding one hand up as they call out, "Ms. Kennedy." They flash a polite smile and nod once she turns to face them. "Lovely evening for it. Has the fair been treating you well?" It was just frivolous small talk in the grand scheme of things, just a means of starting conversation before delving into meat of what Shiv missed in their travels abroad.

"I don't know about you but that pet adoption vendor has kept me occupied. Don't be surprised if you find a young pup the next time you stop by Wash Tub," Shiv chuckled.

Ahh yes, a tale as old as time: When an autistic anthropologist falls in love with a dork of a neurosurgeon 🥹 Truly a match made in heaven 💜

Auri could literally listen to Grey talk about the brain forever. It’s the way he’s so expressive with his hands when he gets excited, or how halfway through an explanation he’ll forget you have no idea what a Phox2b is and has to start over and re explain respiratory rhythmogenesis, laughing at himself as he does it. But most of all, it’s the way his eyes light up when he hits a topic that’s been chewing at him- something that’s really been on his mind. It’s that spark that really hits Auri in the ol’ Heart eyes 😍

For: @drownholywater-kennedy Where: The gala

She hasn't been in the city, or around the older hunter enough to get a good reading of her, or all the people surrounding them. But she knew enough to tell some of the creatures apart, moving around like they were better than anyone. Jade wasn't stupid though, and as much as Sofía liked the thrill of a good challenge, there were enough supernaturals here to kill them all if they wanted to. She only hoped her wife kept that in mind as well. She took a sip of her drink, letting the gin burn down her throat before rolling her eyes and looking at the hunter, feeling the woman's eyes on her. She moved closer enough to murmur to her. "You know, I know you don't know me, but I promise you I've no intention of starting anything tonight, you can stop keeping watch on me." Though it felt at least comforting to think it was like watching her back someway.

"I'm not staying the whole night," Sal announces to his sister once he located her, his appearance there that evening exactly that -- a brief one.

"Make sure you tell him you saw me here," He requests, not needing to specify who the him in question was. It was the same person every time either of them felt the tug of invisible puppet strings dictating their actions and they both called him father.

availability : open to anyone location : outside a party

aurelia was the kind of person who went into parties with the intention of getting in some sort of scandal. there was an adrenaline rush from getting into the headlines for all the wrong reasons. also, it meant getting a call from mom and dad which was always a plus. but once the adrenaline rush ended, she was left with the same emptiness. outside of this party, she was feeling that ache that she could never seem to get rid of. but she couldn't let anyone know that's how she was feeling so instead she lashed out. "take a picture, it'll last longer," she said to the person staring at her.

location: nora's car

"Oh, you're fucking joking me right now..." Nora grumbled as she peered through her rearview mirror to see exactly who she'd been assigned to pick up.

Pettily, she reached out to fiddle with the AC, making it so that it'd be just on the wrong side of too cold in the backseat. Aurora Bay was too fucking small — of course she'd get stuck with someone who probably had no reservations about turning her nose up at Nora's current situation. Old rivalries died hard, at least for Nora.

She leveled Lia with a glare by way of the mirror. "There's still time to cancel and get another car, you know. I'll even tell Uber to waive the cancellation fee."

closed starter for @aureliaeisley location: a bar in Paris

Being in Paris was mind boggling for Bridget. When she applied for the course, she never expected to get in and now here she was learning and being creative again with her baking. She was feeling a bit more like herself and so when her classmates suggested going out, she decided to tag along. She had them order for her since she didn't speak French and after she got her glass of wine, she looked around the place before going out to the little patio. The wind was chilly, but it reminded her of home and it was a nice little comfort as she took in the views. Hearing a shuffle, she turned and spotted someone nearby and smiled. "I didn't think anyone else would be out here. I hope I wasn't interrupting anything."

Sat on a stool at the bar, Bradley checks the time with a tap to the screen of her phone. Expecting Lia to finish her singing set shortly. She'd only been there for a half hour, but that was the amount time she'd managed to carve out of her diary, and truly? It was long overdue. She hadn't heard the younger Cavendish sing in a while and it was easy to underestimate just how good she was.

Finally, Lias set ends and Bradley is quick to wave her over, drink waiting in situ at the bar. "I forgot just how impressive you are." She hums, smile plucking at the corner of her mouth as she offers the compliment.

@heroexxs muses: aurelia & briana song: pretty girls by renee rapp

of course this is always what happened. a pretty girl just wanting to experiment for the night, sometimes they wanted their boyfriends to watch, others they wanted to keep it a secret. it seems briana was in the latter. aurelia had thought they had something special, but then she learned of her boyfriend. and now the three of them were at a party again, aurelia trying to keep her distance until the two girls found themselves in line for the bathroom, no boyfriend in sight. "your boyfriend's cute." aurelia said flatly, leaning back against the wall.

@luna-mxth asked " [ wipe ] sender wipes away receiver's tears — from vin to aurelia ;v; "

The gentle touch of the healer's hands on her faced both startled and comforted Aurelia. The teenager hadn't even realized she had been crying until she felt Vin brush the tears from her cheeks. She should have felt embarrassed by it - and had it been anyone but Vin with her now, she would have been. Rels was 16 for Maker's sake, and had been in plenty of scraps before. Had had plenty of injuries before, many far worse than the broken arm she was currently suffering from. But something about this time had felt... different.

Perhaps it was because she hadn't been able to help the older woman. Aurelia had tried to fight the nobleman and his guards when they had attacked the elderly elf but it had been no use. The woman had been so... frail. She was barely conscious by the time the goons had finished with her and had tossed her crumpled frame to the ground. All over a loaf of bread they had claimed she had stolen. Some elders had helped the woman, taken her away to heal. And Aurelia, with her freshly broken arm and a cut on her side, had only been able to sit and watch. And cry.

She turned to actually look at Vin now, no longer denying herself the release the tears seemed to bring. She was so tired of having to fight. So tired of watching her people be treated this way. She didn't care about herself or the wounds that had been inflicted on her; she only cared about her people, her family and friends, who were treated no better than animals for slaughter by the nobles of Denerim.

"Will it ever change, Vin?" Aurelia asked softly, voice cracking. For once she was not the feisty teenage girl who tried to square up with Templars. Right now she was a vulnerable girl. And she was so, so tired. "Will they ever stop treating us like this? We are people too. We have as much right to live here in Denerim as anyone else. It's bad enough that they force us into the slums, and then they can't even let us live in peace. I... I just want them to let has have peace."

the  quill  paused.  eyes  lingered  on  the parchment as their mind turned over the words preceding the silence. certain topics easier discussed than others, certain answers more readily available, particularly for one who preferred to company of their tomes and flowers to people. the master of laws by no means a man who required his voice be the loudest - a relief for another failure need not be added to his mental list. and time at court had allowed them to cross paths with many whose opinions stood as immovable as the wall. dark hues rose, a calmness settled comfortably over him.  ❝ i guess it all depends on what you wish to believe. ❞

"We've agreed on going with reasonable this year," Sal informs his sister as he tops up her wine with the bottle they had ordered for the table, more relaxed than he would have been if their father hadn't cancelled on dinner two hours prior to the agreed time, "And I know you like to spoil your nephew but I don't want to overdue it on the first Christmas where he sort of understands what it is."
