@mythosisms liked this for a starter

"Elysia, right?" The young mage called, having finally found the woman he was looking for. Not that it had been easy, but given the right directions even someone new to the city like he was could do what was needed.

"Hi... Milo told me to find you over certain... Huh... Information. Regarding demigods? Do you have a minute?"

[heirofhermes]

So, as usual, it seemed like Brandon had totally disconnected from reality. It was flattering to think that Sebastián himself could have that effect on the boy, and also rather amusing to see. The smile grew on the Hermetic's lips as their eyes met and he made sure to remain close still, even when the kiss had ended.

"Free from the girl you asked me to save you from," he clarified. Alas, his behavior didn't shift back to the usual platonic demeanor. No. His arm was already wrapping around Brandon's waist to keep him locked in place, to keep him very much in his personal space.

"I'm not trying to get rid of you, Bebito. I never half ass things... Looks like we're gonna have to keep pretending to be boyfriends for the rest of the night, yeah?"

It was once again a matter of impulsivity, deciding whether or not to follow the feelings bubbling all over his chest. If Brandon were a more logic-based person, he would've stopped and think of the consequences for a second. If he were more rational, he would've remembered that the whole thing had the purpose of scaring a girl.

Point was, Brandon would've given it a second thought had he been a less impulsive person. Alas...

Sebas' words barely registered in his brain before Brandon found himself locking lips with his friends once more. What he'd told his precious Güerito had not been a lie: Sebastián's kisses were addictive. The softness of the lips, the general taste of his mouth, how Sebas' smell wafted into his nose due to the closeness of it.

One thing was for sure: there was no coming back from this; no "let's resume our friendship as if nothing ever happened." Brandon was sold, line hook and sinker, into whatever it was developing between them.

"Free? Free of what?" he asked, once his lips separated from Sebastián's. "Don't think you're getting rid of me that easily, Güerito."

Turns out she was every bit as intimidating as Milo had warned him about, which was odd for a woman about his same size. He could almost feel the power emanating from her, though. Despite his young age, Sebastián knew from the get go that she was someone to thread carefully with.

"Wha- No, no. I don't want to know about demigods, I-- Oh, forgive my manners," he stumbled within his words, trying not to let his own anxiety show as he took a seat right across from her.

"My name's Sebastián," he started kindly. "I know Milo from the team, yeah, but I'm not a part of it. I came to you because... I think I came across information about some demi-gods in Mexico. I was told you were the one to inform of those cases... I'm new in the city, I'm still learning the ropes."

Elysia looked up, sunglasses sliding down as honey-brown hues watched him intently over the rims. What was this scrawny kid doing here?

Ah, Milo. The tension in her shoulders eased and she leaned back against her seat, folding her arms. From his tone and aura, he was speaking the truth. Had he lied, she would have fried him with lightning. "Milo sent you, huh? You from Zero's organization?" The name 'Zero' was said with blatant contempt.

She could not beLIEVE that Chris somehow had Astra in his clutches, all gaga eyes over him. That sociopath. She cleared her expression, in case he thought it was directed at him. "What's your name? Why do you want to know about demigods?" She gestured to the seat across from her.

“A royal like you shouldn’t be out here. These woods are rumored to be full of nightmarish monsters.”

Princess Emma startled, turning abruptly towards the sound of the voice; the compound bow in her hand raised to eye level and pulled taught with an arrow already knocked. She searched the forest before her, looking for the source of the disembodied voice; her eyes darting left and right to scan the trees before her but her aim never wavering.

"Whose there? Show yourself!" She tried to keep her voice level to now show fear. She heard no footfall, no snapping of twigs, no rustle of leaves. Nothing alerted her to an approach which was why she was caught so off. Was this a trick of the woods?

"No. He is not a recruit," Chris clarified immediately, knowing there was some sort of need for context as he simply showed up to drop a teenager in Astra's shop. "He's just a cute little kid I rescued from a raid to some evil witches in Mexico... A cute little kid that I'm trying to help control his power somehow."

Was that enough context? Absolutely not. Was Astra already used to Chris being a tornado just rushing through everywhere like an unstoppable force of nature? Probably.

"Alas... All I can do for him is supress his magic when it starts running wild. I figured you'd know better. Not that I'm enough of an asshole to just drop a kid on your lap and expect you to adopt him but-"

".... M-maybe if you could stop talking for a minute and let me explain to her what's going on, mr. Laverty?" Sebastián interrupted, popping up from behind one of the shelves as he became incapable to let this conversation about his condition continue without his input.

"Hi... I huh-" he stammered a little bit, walking towards the counter to meet Astra wearing clothes that were definitely Chris', and definitely too big for a kid his size. "I'm Sebastián. Nice to meet you, ma'am."

      THE OPENING OF THE DOOR STILL CAUSED ALARM TOWARDS THE PHOENIX but despite her quick jump, her grip upon the cupcakes remained strong and with a blink, her bright emerald eyes looked upon the human the other side of the door. She looked angry? Would that be the correct word to use? Possibly frustrated at being kept down here? Still, the firebird offered a small smile and extended her arms and in turn, the plate of cupcakes as she offered the woman a small smile.

       “   Y   ---   yes, that’s me… I   ---   I thought you might like something to eat and, well, I know that not many eat food down here, and I also know that everyone likes a cupcake… or several… so I brought you a few.  ”    She was rambling again; her words quickly carrying off her tongue and filling the air as she breathed heavily, swallowing, and making a small face with scrunched up features.   “  Sorry   ---   I ramble… It happens when I’m nervous… I’m   ---   I’m also sorry that you’re stuck down here… I   ---   I don’t really want to be down here, either…  ”

What could he say in his defense? Chris was, for a change, aware of the weight of the burden he was dropping on Astra's door. However, he was limited in options. The threat of Sebastián's power was too big to ignore and Milo -his resident wizard- had already proven useless in figuring out how to help. Wasn't it only natural that he turned towards the most knowledgeable woman he knew?

"I know I'm gonna get scolded, but hear the kid out first, please," Chris groaned in resignation for his unavoidable fate, but still adamant in his desire to help. But since there really was no more room for his input in the conversation, he simply helped Astra with the plates.

"Huh... No, ma'am," Sebastián started, sitting down and studying the food for a small moment. It did look delicious. "I wasn't kidnapped. I am... was... a trainee for the Order of Hermes. Have you heard of-"

He trailed off, assuming she should've at least heard of the organization of mages that studied magic and tried to maintain some sort of structure within the magical society. Hopefully.

"There was an event in Mexico. The branch of the Order there fell and... And that's where mr. Laverty came in. We... fought together to stop the witches. We won, actually. But there was nobody left to help me with a certain problem that I have with my magic. And now we're here."

@theasteria

There were many times when Chris surprised her. In fact, she was almost anticipating the curve balls when he was around. He made her life rather interesting that way.

Though even she had to admit to herself that she never thought Chris would bring a teenager home. "Expect me to -- what?" Astra managed to get out incredulously. Adopt him? She opened her mouth to protest, but then the teenager in question stepped forward and spoke.

If this were any other situation, perhaps Astra would be amused over the fact that this boy called Chris 'Mr. Laverty'. "Oh... Nice to meet you, Sebastián. I'm Astra." She held out a gloved hand for him to shake, though kept her Sight in check. She was getting good at that.

"How are you feeling? Have you eaten?" Eyes swept over the baggy clothes before she decided to steer him towards her kitchen and dining area, shooting Chris a look over her shoulder before she left. "Let's get you something to eat first. And then you can tell me everything."

A few moments later she had various plates of hot food set out for him and some dessert. "So how about we start with those evil witches? Were you taken hostage?" She somewhat relented and gestured for Chris to have a seat as well and eat. Though they would definitely have a conversation about this later.

❝ I yield. Though I will not beg for my life. That would be unbecoming, wouldn’t it? ❞

s i r  t h e r i u s:

“Hm. It would certainly be so. Wise answer.”

Therius had long since knocked the sword out of young Baelfire’s hands, sword even pointed at the young man’s throat. The knight looked Baelfire in the eye, before lowering his sword.

“Should you consider training to be a knight, you must be prepared to lose your life. No matter how daunting it is…”

     He thought he was doing well, using the sword he was given to the best of his ability. He was getting training little by little, but the only way for him to grow was for him to learn from the best knights in the kingdom.  Shocked brown eyes watched the sword fly out of his hands to the ground nearby before they laid on Therius. 

     “Th-Thank you. Father taught me best.” He said before nodding along to the next words. “I want to train to be a knight. I want to learn to fight to protect someone I love without having my sword knocked to the ground.” There was a moment of pause as Baelfire thought over his next words. “Did you always want to be a knight? Were you prepared to lose your life from before you became one?”

Mortimer sighed at her thoughts, ears twitching on debating to acknowledge them. Finally he whispered, voice soft and mournful, “Because we were strange. We were considered monstrous and therefore...” He trailed off with a long tired sigh, massaging the bridge of his nose at the faded memories that whispered in his mind.

“It’s better now. That’s all that matters,” he muttered, stepping over a smaller angelic gargoyle, evidently a child. “We may never again be fearless in the face of humans, but at least we are safe now.”

Uma snuck up behind them, slipping cold hands up the back of his shirt before he noticed she was there.

Harry smirked as he felt the others hands on his back only to spin and move to gesture a bow to her. “Uma I’m surprised to see you here.”
