[something is very odd about this woman but she won’t comment on it because she isn’t a total animal] [there’s a mechanical whirring from underneath the ivory hair masking her eye as she squints]

That’s good. Take it easy. [pauses, then gives a halfhearted wave] Hi. I’m Maria.

[pops up out of the chair in the corner, where she had been reading very quietly in the shadows] [she approaches slowly, so as to not surprise the stranger with her presence] 

Hey. [squats down next to her] You alright?

[mariaspiegelung-archive]

Yeah...it’s something like that. Strange, isn’t it? I don’t recall having a specific home, honestly, but there are many areas where I grew up that have good memories.

[chuckles] My old line of work was quite...distasteful. I don’t enjoy talking of it much. But in the past I worked for an animal shelter, but I quit just before I left.

[shakes his hand gently] I grew up in the east, so it’ll always have a place in my heart. I feel that you either love it from afar or hate it close up.

//She’s swept into a seemingly empty room, sitting right down in a flutter of skirts, her eyes squeezing shut as she tries to catch her breath, fingers tense and shaking slightly// //Breathing out, flowers erupt from the bits of earth on her dress and skin// 

//Coughs heavily, an almost sick sound//

It was alright. Surprisingly dry. I wasn’t there for long, spent most of my time in eastern Europe. [smiles] Maria. Nice to meet ya.

[stands there with her hands in her pockets, avoiding his gaze entirely for a few long moments before she makes eye contact] [her gaze isn’t angry, but it’s not entirely forgiving either] 

Hey.

[knocks on his door and tries to resist the urge to run away lmao]

[opens his door]

…

Maria…?

[He smiles cordially] Oh! I love London~ I have always wanted to return. How was it?

[He pauses and perks up] Goodness! I forgot to ask what your name is. I apologize, my name is Maxime~

[mariaspiegelung-archive]

[shrugs her shoulders] I just flew back in from London, the jetlag is still hitting me pretty hard.

[drops herself onto a couch with a cup of tea and a heavy sigh] Jetlag can suck my ass.

[mariaspiegelung-archive]

[looks up and smiles] No worries. Don't mind me, I'm just sitting for a bit.

[drops herself onto a couch with a cup of tea and a heavy sigh] Jetlag can suck my ass.

[mariaspiegelung-archive]

Just keeping it real, like I always do. [she unleashes both dogs and allows them to approach] It's good to see you again.

[she steps in through the front door, bag slung over her shoulder, and both of her dogs leashed up] [she takes a deep breath in through her nose, then exhales] Still smells like shit.

[mariaspiegelung-archive]

It honestly pisses me off but...I have no clue what to do about it. I can be mad at them all I want, but...there isn't anything I can really do. They had to choose between someone after all, but...ugh. This is too confusing.

[He nodded] so more the first option just a lot more screwed up. [He sighed] I won’t lie, if I were you I would want to pound their skulls in like no tomorrow. I guess the civilized answer though would be.. have you tried to listen to their reasoning? [then again do her cousins really deserve civil?] 

[mariaspiegelung-archive]

I wasn't even the country, to be honest. I was in Europe...I needed to figure a lot of things out. Kinda got more than I bargained for, honestly, but I got a lot of answers.

God, I just...I don't understand. I don't fucking understand why they would do something like that. [snorts] I decked Lud in the face. Felt great.

[chuckles, pouring them both a glass and sitting] [raises her glass]  Твоё здоровье! [bottoms up]

[mariaspiegelung-archive]

How could I possibly understand their reasoning behind it? I can't think about Omega in the way that they apparently can. I mean, they weren't the ones kidnapped during childhood and turned into brainwashed super soldiers. [huffs] But whatever, it isn't like I've experienced them firsthand or anything. They just...ugh.

[mariaspiegelung-archive]

[rests her chin in her hand] Just...after everything Omega did to us, to our family, one would think that he'd join Alpha. But apparently not, because they're fucking idiots who don't use their brain.

Oh, thank fuck. I knew we were friends for a reason.

[mariaspiegelung-archive]

It doesn’t fucking matter what I would rather have you do, you…you fucking sided with them. After everything they’ve done to our family…to you, to me, to my mom – [she remembers that he doesn’t know about her mom’s history with Omega a moment later, but presses on anyway] I trust Alpha about as much as I trust a Chihuahua to hold my weight, but they didn’t use eighteen years of my life to brainwash and experiment on me!

[so she's just gonna march up to him and slap him right in the face]

….

I deserved that.

@mariaspiegelung

[mariaspiegelung-archive]

My fucking cousins siding with Omega, that's why.

Oh, thank fuck. I knew we were friends for a reason.
