"That's the vibe we're going for." she winked. Thinking about it, Mia shook her head smiling. "If you sit through that, I'll sit through that." she semi joked, knowing it was almost a joke that either of them literally would do it. "That's the spirit!" || @lolamitran

Lola's eyes got a little wider and she nodded. "that's perfect! It'll show I have a spine, but not reveal I have a spine. Plus if I can sit through a tattoo I can do anything!" She exclaimed. She stood herself up a little taller and rolled her shoulders back. "I am Lola, hear me roar."

"Guess it's true that cats really do pick their human, unlike dogs who are all the more friendly and wanting attention." Esme leaned against the nearby surface and smiled, "I think if I wait long enough and with patience, then I'll have a cat myself." @lolamitran

"I mean, it does look like he's been in a fair few muddles, so it makes sense that it fits so well." She said, a hand running down the cats spine gently while he stretched out a little more in her lap. "You just have to find the right one. I found a couple that really didn't like me, I wasn't going to let that dishearten me though!"

Mia laughed at that. "Or a tattoo. One of those who need blacklight to be seen." she waved her hands around a little. "Be incognito and all." she chuckled. With Lola, Mia felt like she did when she was younger, helping her mom better herself. It held a certain amount of nostalgia. "You're doing great. Here's your daily affirmation." || @lolamitran

"Maybe I can get one of those fancy back pieces of jewellery that show like a spine made of gold or something. Maybe I'll go for rose gold though." She giggled, she was definitely far more a person to wear something tinted pink than gold. "I'll just have to keep reminding myself of that one."

@beautyxnthefire

[beautyxnthefire]

"You're okay." Mia chuckled. Lola actually amused her in an endearing way -not her usual 'you amuse me' way that held a bit of contempt because honestly she was not amused at all. "You're doing great, you don't even need to try hard." she encouraged a little. || @lolamitran

“We’ll just have to dig it from my back and show it off more.” Lola shrugged, perhaps she just wasn’t ready to admit that she wanted to be soft and a little bit of a pushover. Then again she could be a soft person and still have the spine to be able to stand up for herself, or at least let someone know her own opinion without feeling like she was doing too much. “You’re right, I’ll just take a regular spine… Made of bone.”

[beautyxnthefire]

"You do have a spine; it's just very well hidden" Mia offered lightly. Though being heartless wasn't for everyone, maybe learning to fend for herself would do Lola some good. Not to fully change but to know how to deal when push came to shove. She was very soft spoken so maybe she needed it. She laughed. "But we like cotton candy! No no..we'll find some middle ground for you." || @lolamitran

“Ah, a process that no doubt is going to be a rough journey for someone who doesn’t have the spine right now.” She giggled softly, that was another thing. While Lola might have been sweet outside, so was her inside. She was soft and kind and the world knew how to take advantage of that, so perhaps it was indeed time that she learned how to grow a spine from the one that she had made of cotton. “Please, teach me your ways. I need my spine to be steel, not cotton candy.”

@beautyxnthefire

[beautyxnthefire]

"It's a process." Mia insisted lightly. A process that, for her, spanned years, a sad childhood, poverty, having to be fight for everything and work five times as hard as others to make up for her background. But she wouldn't go there. "Being nice will take you places in life, but when it no longer does, or you need a different course of action, you should be prepared." Now, Mia didn't expect Lola to turn into a different person any time soon but giving the girl some confidence in her own backbone -that was present, just concealed- might help. || @lolamitran

"Well, it sounds like you have a gift then," Lola affirmed, because if she was able to be that forceful to the point of making grown men cry then maybe she was a good one to keep in mind if she needed help with things. It was clear Lola needed to make friends first though. "You know, that's a good point. It doesn't have to all be nicely nicely."

@beautyxnthefire

[beautyxnthefire]

"Don't worry, none of us was born able to make grown men cry." she chuckled. "It's a process." she said simply, but only half joking. "Respect is nice, but I've learnt it also needs to be earned." Mia said honestly. "You can be respectful and still a force to be reckoned with, you know." || @lolamitran

At least it felt like Lola was making some headway with trying to make friends, but Lola didn't want to make it seem like she could be this big strong person and then not follow through. "Ah, I think I would need lessons in that regard, I'm not really one to put up a fight, especially when it comes to an older person. My family is all about respecting our elders."

@beautyxnthefire

[beautyxnthefire]

Despite herself, the corner of Mia's lips tilted upwards. "Mia sends her regards." she said in her best Game of Thrones tone, matching that scene. She shook her head amused. "You're welcome, but I think you can scare a grown man too if you put your mind to it." she said referring to what the kinder of the two of them girl had done earlier. || @lolamitran

Lola let out a soft giggle, the thought of meeting up with this person and being able to wave sweetly and ask if he remembered her friend Mia was going to be so much fun. "I can just imagine the thought of me saying 'Hey, remember Mia?!' and it scarring someone. Thank you, I think you've given me a new power today."

@beautyxnthefire

[beautyxnthefire]

"No" she hummed. "I'll survive." Mia couldn't guarantee the same for the one that had managed to piss her off though. Chuckling she looked at the other girl "I bet he'll be a real peach after this. If not, you can tell him you're my friend..and I still remember him" she said that last part slowly, as if she was a menace, before laughing "that'll set him straight." || @lolamitran

"Oh I meant if I got you something you could take it home and eat it when you got there.. Eventually." She hummed softly, turning her gaze to the other driver who at this point seemed to be completely lost in whatever was happening. "Oh I think he's scarred already. I can't wait to see this guy around town."

@beautyxnthefire

[beautyxnthefire]

"Oh no." Mia shook her head. "Eating makes someone look approachable and less dangerous." she explained. "Have you seen anyone eat calmly while in a staredown with a hyena?" Mia's gaze returned to the other driver who still seemed to be frozen in place. "Eyes on the prize, love, I'm giving him nightmares for life." || @lolamitran

"Oh my god, never... Yum!" She exclaimed, one of her eyes slightly closing while she was thinking about all that chocolate. She thought about the situation for a second and hummed softly. "Is there anything else I can help with? Like... Do you want me to go and pick you up something you can heat up for food? Cause it might take a minute for them to get here and if I can help I will." Lola was always willing to help people, especially when it came to food.

@beautyxnthefire

[beautyxnthefire]

“And chocolate” she added. “Never, ever, forget chocolate.” Mia said feeling like a total chocolate junkie but, oh well. The other driver was still there too so she had very little to worry about now. Especially with the text on her phone saying Tina’s class was running late; traumatizing her kid sister again with another crash, minor as it may be, was the last thing Mia wanted to do. || @lolamitran

Lola had a massive grin on her face, it might have seemed small to someone else but the fact that she managed to actually get through to another person with food was something that she was almost proud of. "Yes! Food is by far one of the worthy war causes. I mean, all other reasons for war are kinda silly when you could go to war for a massive plate of food." Lola nodded, it seemed like a perfectly reasonable reason to rage.

@beautyxnthefire

[beautyxnthefire]

While Lola was being an absolute boss, Mia had dialed the police to settle this. She was too exhausted mentally to further traumatize a human being. Crossing her arms to her chest, Mia chuckled amused. "Food is a priority and should be respected at all costs. We wage war for food" she returned, a more relaxed. Lola had that quality about her; lightening the mood. And when it came to Mia and her almost innate foul one, it was a major pro. || @lolamitran

Lola closed the door of the other driver, deciding it was probably best if they remained in the car before she turned her attention back to Mia. "Maybe I'll try and use my force powers or something." She said with a shrug. "Probably not, I'm a little weak when it comes to being forceful unless it's like... A friend who needs me to be? Maybe that's not a bad thing though." She mused, shrugging slightly. "Like if a friend gets the wrong food I'll go to war." She stated, almost overconfident in her moment.

@beautyxnthefire

[beautyxnthefire]

"Good. Good." Mia nodded. She was not in a mood or headspace to have to take care of someone else. Looking at the girl boss the man around, she smiled. Color her impressed. "It's a good look on you though" Mia offered. Considering the woman was practically a human barrier between her and the man who crashed into her especially. If her siter had been in the car with her, she would have torn him a new one. || @lolamitran

Lola giggled softly and shook her head, "Me? Faint on someone? Never. I just like helping." She shrugged, dialing triple A and explaining what had happened quickly and then moving over to the other driver. "Drink." She ordered, handing them the bottle of water. Maybe she wasn't one to try and force someone to do something, but this one felt like it was necessary. "Woah, I've never sounded so forceful in my life."

@beautyxnthefire

[beautyxnthefire]

Mia chuckled. "Just don't faint on me, cause I'm not the most helpful one." she said casually but honestly. Hell, she was a terror really but that was a whole other story. "Triple A sounds good. Thanks" she said simply and leaned over "That one looks more in need of the water though" she whispered pointing to the frozen-in-horror driver of the other car. "Come on puppy. Out of the car. Nice and easy." she patronized the male. || @lolamitran

Lola took a second to take a deep breath, she knew she could be too much sometimes and she really did try to keep herself in check when she could. "Sorry, okay, I just got worried when I saw the crash and I just wanted to help if I could." Lola tried explaining it concisely, but maybe she tried a little too hard. "I have triple A on my phone, you need me to give them a call? I also have water in my car if you're thirsty?"

@beautyxnthefire

[beautyxnthefire]

She was about to star cursing at the other driver who looked to be a teenager. Was he even driving legally? Her brain kept cursing in Spanish. But then Mia paused, in an utter 'what the hell' moment. The girl was panicking more that the actual driver who crashed into her. Resting face on, Mia held a hand up. "Breathe maybe?" she suggested. "You weren't the one who did that" she pointed at her broken tail light "so calm down" she said slowly before adding a "please" for good measure. || @lolamitran

Lola had only seen the car briefly, but she couldn't help but want to help. She took a detour, heading toward the car in question and pulling in behind. Lola jumped out and made her way over to Mia, sympathy on her face. "Hey! Need some help? I can call somewhere? Or something... I don't know I just want to be helpful, can I be helpful? In any way?"

"Mr. Muddles is a cute name and it suits the cat perfectly," Esme chuckled softly, her eyes softening at the cat as she set her coffee down on a nearby surface and picking up another cat to scratch behind the ears. "You're the chosen human while I'm still having to get them to allow me to pet them." @lolamitran

"Oh absolutely, this sweet baby is coming home with me, I can't say no to him, I think I already wanna call him Mr Muddles." She didn't know where the name had come from, but she loved it and the name seemed to fit with his personality. "He's been sitting here for the past hour and hasn't left my lap. It's perfect."
