"I can't tell you how much I needed this today." Or, well, in general. Nilay was struggling to stay afloat and to keep her mind focused. All she could think about was Eli, how he was struggling with having her former bandmates back in Blue Harbor, how he was losing sleep because of it all (and her losing sleep as well, not being able to sleep with him also struggling)... And, above all, the Harrison Morrey behind it all. That part, she certainly couldn't get her mind off of. No matter how much it wrapped around her heart like a snake and left her struggling to breathe. Fortunately, taking one of Thalia's yoga classes helped. At least, temporarily. As she rolled her mat up, she smiled at the yoga teacher. "I swear, you and your classes are magic. I actually feel all my worries float away when I'm here."

TWENTY-THREE YEARS IN NEW ZEPPELIN, AND KITCHEN DWELLER.

♥️ INDEPENDENT, RESOURCEFUL ✘ SELF CRITICAL, ANXIOUS

TESSA'S DEAL: As much as she loves her dysfunctional family in The Kitchen, Tessa knew from an early age that she wanted to move onto bigger and better things outside of the borough where she was born and raised - she dreamed of shopping at the cute boutiques she couldn't afford and sitting at Grindr and drinking expensive lattes without worrying if the electricity will get shut off. She planned to go to college, get a medical degree, become a hot shot doctor and shed a new light on the Lark family usually infamous for breeding drug dealers and thieves. She was on her way to doing what she'd set her mind to since high school, but a surprise baby derailed her life off track and two years later, she's taking mostly online classes in between working at Sketti and running around after her toddler and trying to keep her life from falling apart. Most days, she's still determined to make her life plan happen, but she can't help wondering sometimes if she should just give up and accept that once a Lark, always a Lark.

Ever since meeting Oliver, Eve, and Kemet, the anthropologist absolutely loved the cats. The first two weren't originally hers, having been Eli's that she had the pleasure to adopt as her own after their relationship became more concrete, whereas Kemet had originally been hers that she adopted with Hattie and Eli's help. And, if she was being completely honest with her, the urge to adopt more cats was incredibly strong for the woman, and she knew that her partner felt the same way. Though, getting to seeing Phoebe and Foster's cat, Misty, helped calm those urges. At least, temporarily. It was afterwards that those urges would rise again and she'd want to check with her partner if he was also recently thinking of adopting another cat. It was moments such as those where she would go to Happy Tails to buy her cats some new toys and treats to spoil them silly. Roaming around the store, her basket full of toys, catnip, and new treats, she noticed Foster not too far away. While she was still nervous that the man might've disliked her, she tried to be friendly. At least for Phoebe's sake. "Great minds think alike?" she called out, smiling warmly as she headed his way. "Is Misty treating you kindly or is she still a bit scratch-happy?"

"Uncle Nathan!"

Nilay hadn't been able to stop her girls once they walked through the front door, the two squealing with excitement as they ran towards Nathan. Part of the woman was still in disbelief over him being in Blue Harbor. With a man like him, a larger city seemed more his speed. Plus, she wasn't sure why he wasn't associated with the distillery anymore; He wouldn't tell her anything about it. But, nonetheless, maybe a smaller place like Blue Harbor would be good for him. And, selfishly, it meant being able to see him more frequently now than before. "I tried and I tried, but I couldn't stop them. They were much too excited." Scanning his light blue eyes, her smile grew. "Can't blame them," she chuckled, giving him a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek. "How are you? How's the cabaret doing? I've been meaning to see it, but I've been busy. Clearly." She laughed once more as she gestured towards her daughters, though with her other responsibilities, she knew he'd understand.

After Theo admitted wanting to propose to Dylan, the curator had been struck with shock before receiving an urgent call from the museum for help. Ever since then, Nilay has avoided the continuation of the conversation. She was still trying to take it all in. What it could mean, what it could entail. On one hand, she could understand her brother's desire to marry the mother of his children. They were a couple now and he has always been a romantic. But... She had to admit, she had her concerns. She just wasn't sure how to express them without possibly offending or hurting the man. At the end of the day, she knew that the decision was Theo's and Theo's alone. No matter if he took to heed her advice or not. Especially when it all came from a place of love. With their parents and Eli's parents in the living room with Eli, Safiye, Evrim, Dylan, their children, along with Lord Cerberus, Nana, and her and Eli's cats, all having come together for a family night, she was in the kitchen working on fixing herself up some Turkish tea when she noticed her big brother coming in. "Hey," she mused, a smirk growing. "Finally had enough of Lord Cerberus trying to steal your food?"

With how preoccupied her mind has been, Nilay was relieved that she'd been able to remember her baby sister's birthday. After all the birthdays and holidays they've missed out from sharing together, she knew that there were an abundance to make up for. And she was ready to do all she could to make up for it. Granted, it hadn't been her fault that they'd been separated; Their dear ol' baba certainly was not innocent. But, nonetheless, she felt a bit responsible. Especially with how rubbish of a sister she's been lately. Meeting up with the physician at the tea shoppe, Nilay's smile grew as she spotted her. Quietly coming up behind her and wrapping her arms around her in a hug. "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear Safiye; Happy birthday to you!" She sang in their native Turkish, afterwards giggling and letting go so that she could instead take her hand and spin her around slightly. "Happy birthday, love! Please tell me you're having a good birthday so far. If not, I am ready to change that."

Nilay stared. And she was stared right back at. "That's... not my cat," she finally said after a moment. Now, check-up days for the cats were never any fun. Particularly when all three of them had their check-ups at once. Rounding the cats up in their carriers was never a fun time; While it was slightly easier to do it with just one, it was still a tough journey in and of itself. Fortunately, it was just Eve today. Normally, she would've sat in the room to ensure that her cat wasn't by herself. However, she received an important call from her dad regarding Hattie, and she needed to take it. By the time the call was done, so was the appointment. At least, that's what the vet tech said. Having already put Eve in her carrier somehow. Nilay had carefully moved closer, beginning to coo softly, before stopping right away once she got a good look at the feline. And she stood there, her hands on her hips and dark eyes staring into those green ones. "Where's Eve? Is Room 3A still occupied? That was her room; Please, could you check it again? This cat is lovely, but it's not Eve."
