“Stop right there, I see that look in your eyes.” It was sometimes easy to forget that before he became her friend, Emil was originally her therapist. How he listened to her thoughts for months and got to see more of who she is and what scares her. After her attack back in 2021, it’d been mandatory for her to see someone, even though she hadn’t been too keen on it as first. Yet meeting Emiliano had been what she needed, especially with everything else that happened with Theodora not too long afterwards. While she still hasn’t returned back to therapy since May, she enjoyed whenever she could spend time with him. Even if it means him indulging her having ice cream during the middle of winter. She’d been taking another bite of her lemon and blueberry sherbet with a caramel drizzle and mint chips (a new one for her; thanks, little baby) when she glanced over at him. Taking a deep breath, she looked up at the ceiling before back down at her frozen dessert. Fuck, did he suspect anything? “Would you like to try it? I promise, it’s better than you think.” Surely he didn’t. Hopefully he didn’t Shit. Shit, shit, shit.

If Asli was being honest with herself, Emil was the best person to talk to about her current situation. He was easily one of the most open-minded people she's ever met; While she knew that he would be worried about her, especially considering her last two pregnancies, she was certain that he wouldn't judge Elijah for needing time to process everything. If anything, he might be able to give her advice on how to help her boyfriend with this. Yet even the most selfless of people had their limits. Was it wrong of her to assume that he wouldn't also be upset with Eli? She wasn't sure. And it was that uncertainty that caused her to stop considering that moment of telling him what's going on. "You sure? I know it looks strange, but it actually is working amazingly well together." Glancing over, she smiled softly. "Busy, mainly. I'm definitely more than ready for summer to come." With her careers at the museum and university and then also working on bringing in the institute with her parents, it was easy to pass all of that off as an excuse with how tired and depressed she looked recently. The three were certainly great distractors from everything happening right now. "What about you? How're things in your life?"
