"Sorry girl I saw the chance and I took it."

"You looked like you were about to break so I figure getting that fire back out of you would do you some good." // @pvremichigan

"He's a hunter before anything else, including a boyfriend."

It's something he's gonna have to work on eventually, but that was a him problem, not a her problem.

"He usually doesn't take me on hunts with him cause of how dangerous it can be, but when he does he tends to have this idea in his head that having another person is useful as live bait to lure the target out quicker. Absolutely dumbass behavior but expected from someone who wasn't raised to manage his emotions properly. He was raised on 'if you're gonna be a hunter and risk death every day don't bother getting involved with anyone romantically because it'll cause them too much pain'. Yeah, well, guess what ended up happening?"

"Most people would say our relationship isn't the best, and honestly I can't even deny it. We're always bickering with each other because I challenge everything he's ever known and he's just a stubborn prick. But it's essentially what we agreed upon in order to try and change things and make it work. There's probably a billion other ways to do it, but it's just the one we ended up doing - even if it makes thing difficult."

❝Well, he's not my partner.❞

Yet. Maybe one day when he finally got the guts to confess his feelings, he could say proudly and happily that the opposite was true. Maybe in another hundred years it'll happen!

❝But you said he uses you as bait..?❞

What kind of partner did she have?? To be used as live bait for something didn't sound romantic at all, it sounded terrifying!

❝Is that normal for him?❞

"An opinion, if you may? Black bat earrings or black cat earrings? Or should I get both?" // @a-hell-of-a-lot-of-muses

Neff makes twins feel safe and warm. They don’t have to worry about anything and she naturally calms them. She makes them feel small sometimes but in a good way! Like it’s ok for them to be immature and goofy and not know things because she can answer any question they have. She isn’t going to harm them and it kinda feels like they have a big sister watching them and they can get away with some things because she’s just cool like that

How Y'all Feel About Her? || @inseparableduo

Nobody look at her. She feels all warm and fuzzy and she knows she's blushing with how touched she feels by that statement. Her hands are on her cheeks covering as much of her face as possible, but from the little bit that peeks through it's easy to see she's smiling.

"I'm glad that's how they feel about me. I remember what it was like being a kid...and even as an adult I know what it's like to not feel listened to or understood. I wanna do my best to be for them what I would have wanted and needed for myself at their age. It makes me happy to know it's working."

"Fine, you can have a cookie, but just one. I haven't gotten to try any yet."

Neff had never actually gotten to try anything cherry blossom flavored, and with spring coming she was actually quite surprised her job had decided to try this out themselves. Maybe she was having some influence on them when it came to these new flavors. // @chaosmicjelly

🔮

Neff Does A Pull || @squidsavior

"Affirmation pull. Smoky Quartz. Grounding, protection, and resilience. 'I am grounded and protected. My thoughts guide my actions into a positive direction.' It's dangerous out there, but you're strong."

Onto the next.

"Oracle pull. Citrine. Manifestation, fulfillment, and confidence. 'Now is the time to manifest what you've been seeking. Let go of a scarcity mindset and bask in the glow of endless possibilities. Just as citrine never wavers in its brilliance, may you stand unwavering in your belief in yourself and your abilities. Manifest abundance with a heart full of confidence, knowing that you are worthy of all the universe has to offer. You are a radiant being, destined for greatness, so shine bright and let your confidence propel you towards your dreams! Ask and you will receive. The universe has your back!' The short version is you're worth it all and deserve it all....so take it all!"

🔮 {Kae definitely wants to find out more about this}

Neff Does A Pull || @kingdom-of-mxginica feat. Kae

"I'll do both I suppose. We'll start with an affirmation pull. It looks like you've gotten Howlite. The properties of this crystal are emotional freedom, rest, and mindfulness. Your affirmation is 'I release my past and my heart is at rest. I am worthy of happiness and peace.' "

She puts the deck away and does a quick cleanse of the next one before shuffling and doing the next pull.

...oh now THAT's amusing.

"Bloodstone. Nobility, strength, and determination. This message is 'Like a crown adorning your spirit, let bloodstone infuse you with the regal essence of power and determination. Embrace your inner royalty and stand firm in your convictions as you navigate life's challenges with grace and poise, knowing that you possess the inner strength of a true noble. You are destined for greatness so rule your life with confidence and courage like the king you are!' "

[cosmicdreamt]

"You must be tired because you've been running through my mind all day!"

Flirty prompts || @lordspreyer

SNORT.

Instantly does Neff's hand rush up to cover her mouth. She hadn't meant to react out loud like that...but how could she not? That was one of the corniest lines in the book. Not to mention...

"....did you mean for that to sound as flirty as it was?"

The question is asked behind hovering fingertips that fail to hide the amused smile on her face.

"Well....either way....it's cute since it was you, so we'll let it slide."

[cosmicdreamt]

"I wouldn't have minded housing you for the night at a hotel. These things are usually easier to do when the dreamer is relaxed and comfortable. Well....as relaxed and comfortable as one can get while handling nightmares."

But then all things considered it probably wouldn't make much difference with his situation and current state.

"But yeah that's usually how it works. I'll have to take a few extra cautions, however. Like a means of protection for the both of us while we're out here."

Because like hell was she risking anything else going wrong in this situation. Thankfully she always carries little protection charms on her, setting the intention to protect them both from outside forces.

"Alright....I'm ready when you are I guess."

// Minato stood up a little too quickly, nearly forced to sit back down again from dizziness. “ Thanks for coming. Sorry I brought you all the way out here, I couldn’t really afford a hotel and I can’t do it in my house. ”

Not moving, he didn’t walk any closer, opting to stay near the bench. “ S-So what’s our next step? Do we both fall asleep and you… uh… enter my dreams again? ”

Twins prank neff by replacing all her snacks with fish flavored snacks. All the candy and potato chips are now fish flavored

Super Late April Fool's Ask || @inseparableduo feat. The Twins

This was absolutely awful. The worst thing to ever happen. She thought you guys liked her. How could you betray her like this. Now she's going to be dramatic about it by acting like she's dying.

"Made this masala chai with mocha, cherry, and salted vanilla."

"Sound like something you wanna taste test for me?" // @pluviacuratio

[cosmicdreamt]

"So, there's this place that sells coffee flights. Do you know how badly I'd love to try out different coffees like that? They have hot cocoa and tea options, too. Wanna check out the menu and see if there's anything you'd want?" // @rcdhotnight

[cosmicdreamt]

Well this time period sure was...something. Funny enough it didn't feel all that different from her own when she thought about it. Or maybe it really was just this situation in particular that she was all too familiar with. She wasn't much of a party person - just her and her best friend used to head out to their favorite lounge on Fridays to hang out, but even so it was a very loud and highly energetic environment.

There were def a few people who had too much to drink then, too.

Makes her wonder if she'll ever get to meet Varys sober.

But now her biggest shock was the way the knight carried this man over his shoulder. It would make sense he was strong. She knew he was strong after all they'd been through already ( though was it really a lot or did it just seem like it?). Still she can't help but be impressed by it, finding herself staring at him for what was probably far too long.

It's when he hands her the coins that her eyes widen hen she snaps back into the moment, looking down at the sack and then back up to him as she takes it in her hands. He's entrusting her with an errand.

"A few buildings down on the right. Got it. Okay. I'll meet you there then. Be careful."

Though she's not sure why she felt the need to tell him to be careful. He was going the same way she was and wouldn't be too far behind. Ah, well, doesn't matter. She hurries out to find where the inn is, seeing the building she assumes to be in and making her way inside.

"Um....hello. This is the inn, right? Ah....I told to announce that Varys is coming."

And she holds up the sack, giving it a little shake.

Kaelan places a hand on his chin, seemingly trying to map out a good route in his head.

In complete honesty, very few times was Kaelan the one to give the grand tour unless he personally invited a person to it. That usually fell upon the mayor of the village or one of his assistants, due to the fact that Kaelan usually was away from Redwood almost half of the year. Some years, even moreso.

“It would, the town hall is in the main village. The farmer’s market at the far east corner! From there, it’s just a simple stroll to the valley. A lot of the people here also are good hunters, so you may see a couple of creatures up and about in the forest.”

It wouldn’t take very long off a walk before they reached the main village. Previously mentioned tavern still miraculously roaring with noise. The voice of a familiar friend still singing out his drinking song, has he really gone all night?

“My lord…we can check on Varys later, he’s still alive and partying hard.” Kaelan says with a big smile on his face. “I might just need to get him to the inn later on.” Then a big crash could be heard from inside the tavern. “Or…we can check on him now!”

Kaelan rushes to the tavern doors, swinging them open to examine the damage. Varys had successfully placed himself through the table. That’s when one would know it’s time to take Varys home. By then, the majority of the people had gone home long before then and it was just Varys, a couple of drunks in the corner and the poor barmaid and owner who looked on with both horror and intrigue. The knight had paid them both while offering an apology.

The knight shot a quick glance at Neff before pointing down at the now sleeping Varys. “Presenting, my best friend! He’ll be alright. This happens.” Just to make sure however, Kaelan flipped over his hand and felt his wrist for a pulse. A quick nod confirms he still had one. 

“Alright Varys,” Kaelan said, picking the drunk man up and placing him over his shoulder with a grunt. “Time to take your heavy ass home.” Not only was Varys taller he was heavier by at least 20, maybe even 30 pounds. Still, the knight seemed used to it.

“Here.” Kaelan said, holding out a sack filled with gold coins. “Do you think you can run ahead to the inn and tell them Varys is coming? They’ll know what it means. It’s a few buildings down and on the right, you can’t miss it.”

Blind Date Starter || @aegror

Yet another obnoxiously tall man has entered her life and Neff isn't sure if her immediate reaction wants to be a sigh or an exclamation of slight aggression - not towards him, but of the situation. And speaking of such...she gets the feeling this guy didn't actually come with the intention of aiming for a relationship.

Honestly, maybe that's better for her in the end. It'll be one less concern about her 'dates' intentions.

"Hi! I'm Neff. Full disclosure I am awkward as hell and have no idea exactly how to go about this so.....yeah. Uhhh....I guess why don't we have a seat so we can get to know each other better?"

[cosmicdreamt]

@iinauras Draven: Depends on context.

"Depends on which of the two options you gave your vote for."

"Cause if you didn't find me any type of intimidating I have many questions."

[cosmicdreamt]

@iinauras Kale gives a smooch on the cheek.

"You know you're always welcome to do more than that, right?~"
