Mistletoe 2023 - Canon

Where: Smoke & Mirrors Who: @chaussard When: Dec 9, 2023

It was a Saturday night and she had it all to herself. The blonde spent an hour scrolling through her phone to see who would be free to go out, but after five minutes, decided she was going alone. She spent some time getting ready, deciding to visit a place where Emilia knew she would be around those she felt comfortable with.

Heels click against the floor, weaving through the crowd, a red painted lip smile etched into her features, emerald hues falling on a set of blonde hair. Théodore. At least she wouldn't be alone.

A hand comes up to rest on his shoulder. "Is that seat taken?"

Where: Gizli Bahçe Who: @maksimkurylenko When: Dec 9, 2023

Ayda had kept to herself after Halloween. She had shut herself down completely, focusing only on the bar and the bakery. With the holidays coming around, she had this sense it was going to be different, not like it had been over the years, perhaps a new beginning.

She walks around the bar, making sure all the chairs are turned, reaching to shut off the lights, that when she opens the front door, surprised to find Maksim standing there.

"Hello," a soft smile pulls at the corners of her mouth. "Did you want to come in?"

Where: Nomentano Who: @gianna-palazzolo

He could have gone to Vespucci, a place that was supposed to feel like home, but for some reason he found himself stepping into Nomentano. David didn't know how he felt about the owner of the bar, something about her didn't sit well, but at least he was on their turf.

Russet hues glance around the room, landing on one he didn't expect. Long strides cross the room, sliding onto the stool beside the brunette.

"Evening Gianna," a grin etches into his features. "What are we drinking tonight?"

The candles were halfway burned just as the bottle of Batard-Montrachet was halfway empty.

There was no ordinary commotion of hushed conversations and clinking of the cutlery one would find in such a fine restaurant as any other Saturday evening. Lyudmila decided the private company would suit the two the best, not only to enjoy their romantic dinner to the fullest but also to suit her business needs to be reserved for after the meal. Once the manager heard the Korshunov name it did not take long for the restaurant to be closed-off entirely just for them.

In such cozy privacy, Lyudmila's hand rested over Maksim's. Her smile towards him carried the deep sentiment of genuine contentment. Not many people can honestly say they're happy - but Lyudmila could. Maksim was perfect. Family friend, good social standing and education, handsome and intelligent, caring and kind. And she loved him completely.

She could've had it all.

If only family business hadn't always come first for her. "How much would you hate me if I told you I'll have one business partner of my father come for a quick chat in a while?" Before there was even an attempt from his side to distance himself - whether physically or mentally - Lyudmila squeezed Maksim's hand. "I promise I will make it up for you, darling."

Even though he was as of yet conscious of Ilya's behind-the-curtain business and Luymdila's involvement in it, she made sure soon into their dating, that he knew that once Korshunov said there was something or someone to deal with, it was meant to be dealt with.

Mistletoe 2023.

FOR: @gianna-palazzolo WHEN: 19th of December, 2023. WHERE: The Underground.

Maksim actually rather enjoyed this time of year.

Even his brooding was transformed into something of undilated excitement when he was off around London. However, he wasn't a fan of the amount of people who found themselves crammed onto the sidewalks. Enough that he was gritting his teeth as he swerved in and out of those who decided today was the day to walk at a glacial pace.

A few drinks here, a few drinks there, he'd walked around London with his friends in the bitter cold until one by one they'd peeled off. The nickname 'flake' had been thrown around a few too many times as the night had wore on and it'd left that humored grin flashing across his lips as he walked to the last place, one friend left from the group in tow.

Although he felt the eyes on him the second he reached the door, lingering just a little too long as he swept passed. His jaw ticked, teeth clamping, and gone was that too-easy smile, those light shoulders. The Rutherford's had left their stench on this place and he was already regretting agreeing to this.

Alcohol called more, although, he'd have preferred the talbot to this.

Maksim, however, would eat his words the second he stepped through the door. Gianna. Here. And no matter the eyes he felt upon his back, his feet were moving as he crossed through that rambunctious crowd. Tonight, it seemed, would be far more entertaining than he'd planned.

"Gianna," Maksim called, slipping quietly into the spot beside her. "What a surprise." His eye's twitched left and right, looking for Vincenzo lurking somewhere in the shadows as he'd done previously.

Emilia leaned down to kiss his check, emerald hues glancing at the paper spread across the table. "It has been awhile. I was beginning to think you were avoiding me." She was teasing of course. Life had been busy and with her first visit back home over and done, she was starting to feel better. Édith was starting to sleep better through the night. She was starting to become more self-sufficient, that figuring out this single parent life, it was becoming easier.

"Did you bring work to the smoke and mirrors?" The blonde knew she was a little early, but wasn't expecting to find Théo here working. Emilia moves around to sit down beside him.

The paperwork that Théo had laid out before him had been weeks worth of research. Research that he wouldn't normally bring out into the open, but the fact the bar was closed for another hour and the french man was the only one in the building. He had told the staff to take an early lunch -- not that he had any say over what they did but they had taken his direction hesitantly.

The sound of heels caught his attention, eyes pulled from the papers and offered the familiar face a welcoming smile. As her hand cupped his shoulder, Théo reached up and cupped his hand over hers. "Hey there stranger, its been a while."
