"By now I doubt you really have your license." Carmine pointed out, somewhat tense in his passenger seat. Sure, the streets weren't overly crowded but the way Jonghun drove was.. concerning? He was looking over at the other male, a hand tightly holding onto the support handle that this car had above the window. "Remind me that the next time you ask for test driving one of the faster cars for me to tell you no. I don't think I ever will get into a car with you again or, well, have you drive it." He was definitely happy once the car was parked. "You do have a license, right?"

Languages were confusing. Harper was perfectly fluent in multiple of them, one of them being english, and still hadn't gotten used to the transition. The accents were a bit thicker and different than the ones she'd encountered in the States or her time in England.

"Excuse me," she asked someone who looked like they knew their way around. What Harper hadn't realized was she spoke the words in Korean first, then shook her head and corrected herself to say the words in English again. "I'm sorry, still getting used to speaking english again. I'm looking for the bus stop -- is it around here?" she asked.

"Haven't you been taught that if you play with fire you'll get burned?" Jakah teased, although he couldn't help the pleased grin that grew on his face as he heard what he had suspected being confirmed. It was rather obvious, but he still wanted to ask, to be entirely sure. During all the time he came here, he was more than delighted to have a drink along with a chat with Jongin, but he did hold back a little knowing that the other was at work here. Hearing the owner of the blub being a little more bold than usual was a rather pleasant surprise today. "A little. I guess I really must be very distracting, might be better to take you out on a proper date next."

"ài de..." Kaili approached the other from behind, wrapping their arms around him where he sat at the computer. "What are you doing?" Kaili leaned in to kiss Taesun's cheek. Kaili wasn't sure what time it was - but it had gotten late and Taesun still hadn't come to bed. "Is something wrong?"

˖ ࣪ . 🧸 ࿐ ♡ ˚ . "now," jiwoo's hands were in front of her, as if she was holding them up in a state of surrender. "can you just put the craft scissors down, i'm worried you'll fling them at me and they'll do some serious damage." eyes wide, it not registering with her that the shears were plastic and couldn't do any damage to her whatsoever. she pushed the dried pasta shells over to the other. "i wasn't hogging them, by the way. spaghetti makes for a nice barn." jiwoo said, looking down at her masterpiece of artwork, craft night between the pair being a hit. she knew it would be! / @travelexe

Wolf had been told similar before... Ever since he was granted his human form, his friends down in Hell had tried to tell him exactly those things, but Wolf was a curious pup if nothing else. Curious, and very good at getting into trouble and, apparently, he was also very oblivious. At least until his back was resting against the wall, the other's face was close enough to feel breath against his lips and he caught the scent of something.. not human. He'd run away from one man, and into someone who... he couldn't place. It was different. A little like Nix, as though neither scent he could pick up was pure, but it was enough to make his heartrate pick up, skipping a few beats even as his hands took on a life of their own, curling into Nine's shirt at his sides. It felt right, even if he did feel a little like a rabbit in headlights. "Wolf," he whispered in return, and as much as he wanted to look, to see the man leave, the proximity between him and Nine made that near impossible. And then, with that same curiosity that had gotten him in trouble in the first place, he said, "Where would an escape ride go?"

"human and the supernatural always make an odd combination, people tend to be a little alarmed right away with anything they cannot just explain," he whispered back, small grin tugging on his lips. he had a few clients he drove with similar difficulties, flirting going wrong, panicking youngsters chasing after them for a tiktok video or trying to deal with them seeing some flashing eyes of a werewolf or realizing the missing heartbeat of a vampire. "my car's outside if you need an escape ride, i'm nine," he whispered, turning them around so that the younger was more resting against the wall, his face close enough to fake a kiss. the noisy voice of whoever seemed to be pissed off by this one did ring in his ears but he seemed to be too much of a rush to pay them any attention. "looks like he will pass without a scene."

close starter for @travelexe inspired by this. 'I didn't want to tell my friend who my real date last night was so i just pointed at a random stranger (you) but now they're storming over to interrogate you and you're playing along??? okay' au

hwan sat alone, nursing his drink in the dimly lit corner of the bar, never expecting to become entangled in someone else's web of deception. caught off guard by the sudden confrontation, he quickly assessed the situation. It was clear that the stranger who had unwittingly implicated him was in need of assistance, so he made a split-second decision to play along. with practiced ease, he adopted a nonchalant demeanor, meeting their friend's accusatory gaze with a casual smile. 'so...now we're dating?' he questioned when the accusatory friend left the scene, glimpsing at the other with a predatory grin.

"embrace you and kiss you before i leave a mark on your pretty neck," nine suggested. "and then make sure, you know how much you are adored in whatever way you long for." he was fine with elian tugging and pulling on his hair, bringing their lips back together. every kiss was always appreciated, did he ever enjoy kissing anyone that much before? things were different with this vampire, it made him feel weird things, and for once it seemed, human and supernatural sides both perfectly agreed with each other that this was what he wanted, the one he wanted. "mh, a princess deserves a place to enjoy, not one where one must hide. it's why it's stinky to me, people who make life wrong do not smell nice." he allowed his teeth to gently bite down on elian's lips before the arm wandered to curl around his waist, pulling him closer, reducing the space between them. "if you do ever change your mind and want to leave tho, you can count on me."

"A mark on my pretty neck.." Blushing and giggling would be a pretty solid reaction to this, though, Elian could not blush. He would just grin, widely, shortly touching at his own neck. "Despite us being the one that usually leave our marks on necks, I- I just really like it.. your teeth on my neck, marks.." It turned him on. "I would love to be just.. a princess, but I can't be just a princess. And if I can be just that around you, I think that's good enough for me." It had to be enough because how was he supposed to just run away? From a powerful family like this.. how was that even possible. "You smell nice though. You're not stinky, just, perfect." He was enjoying the closeness and would kiss Nine once more after his lip was bitten. "How about we lay down a little? Just so, you know, you could be marking that neck of mine?" He licked his lower lip shortly, looking right back into Nines eyes. "I like when you're my height.." And sometimes he liked it when Nine got taller, made him, a fricking tall vampire prince, feel somewhat small and dainty.. and that was hard to achieve with his broad muscles and thighs. "I won't leave anytime soon.. maybe in a few hours. We still have a few hours."

Brazil’s real weakens, interest rates climb under Trump effect

Investors brace for a Selic rate above 13.75% per year next year as fiscal and external pressures mount

The renewed expectation of a more protectionist policy approach in Donald Trump’s second term weighed on emerging-market currencies like Brazil’s real in Monday’s session. The exchange rate per U.S. dollar ended up 0.56%, at R$5.7695.

Marcos Weigt, treasury director at Travelex Bank, said the effect of Mr. Trump’s tariffs on China might not hit as hard as in the past, which could limit its indirect impact on the real. “Since 2020, with the United States pursuing ‘nearshoring’ and ‘friendshoring,’ dependency between the U.S. and China has declined on both sides, as China has also diversified its partnerships,” he said, noting that China’s exports to the rest of the world (excluding the U.S.) rose to $3.9 trillion last year from $2.5 trillion in 2018. “There will be an impact, yes, but it will be smaller. If it affects China less, it affects Brazil less too.”

While awaiting fiscal measures and amid a tougher global backdrop, Brazil’s local interest rate futures also rose in Monday’s low-liquidity trading session, which was affected by a lack of action in the Treasuries market.

By the close, the rate on the January 2026 Interbank Deposit (DI) contract had risen to 13.115% from 13.095%, and the January 2027 DI rose to 13.20% from 13.14%.

Liberia’s Central Bank clarifies reports of $20 million cash consignment received by BoG

Liberia’s Central Bank clarifies reports of $20 million cash consignment received by BoG

The Central Bank of Liberia (CBL) has clarified reports of a US$20M cash importation consigned to the Bank of Ghana (BoG). According to the CBL, the cash destined for Monrovia is a legitimate transaction.

It said the importation of United States dollars is part of the Bank’s normal function, which is required to meet the needs of the economy, including the USD withdrawal demands and needs of the Government of Liberia and the commercial banks. “CBL and the Bank of Ghana (BoG) have long standing Cash Custody Agreement executed for the BoG to provide overnight custody for CBL imported cash when shipped from London by Travelex Currency, which is an international currency shipment company. These cash shipments by flights are cleared through both the Ghana and Liberia Customs, thus validating their legitimate sources,” the CBL said in a release on August 28, 2024.
