Let’s just say, I was testing the bounds of reality. I was curious to see what would happen. That’s all it was; just curiosity.

She’s having another drink from her coffee.

“Mhm. I assume that’s why I’m here. Well partly anyway.”

[Laszlo Miller @The_Do_Good]

"I don't have a plan, yet... I'm working on a plan."

[Charmeuse @incharmuese]

fuck I need the sea

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬. @PropheticProse_]

One more little whiff…

Okay she’s leaning back now.

“So what’s the plan here? Pine and be all depressed? Because I wrote the book on that Lazza and it doesn’t end well.”

[Laszlo Miller @The_Do_Good]

Okay, that's good.

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬. @PropheticProse_]

close enough to be honest.

[Laszlo Miller @The_Do_Good]

Is he adequate enough?

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬. @PropheticProse_]

What? She stopped smoking and it’s very hard to not. So yeah she’s scooting closer just to get a whiff.

[Laszlo Miller @The_Do_Good]

Blink.

"Knock yourself out..."

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬. @PropheticProse_]

She goes completely off topic now.

“Is it weird I wanna smell you just because I can smell the cigarettes and nicotine on you?”

[Laszlo Miller @The_Do_Good]

He crossed over his heart.

"And hope to do, our scouts honour. Take your pick."

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬. @PropheticProse_]

That made her chuckle softly.

“Thank you.”

Tilly then leaned over to give his cheek a big kiss.

“You’ve got this Lazza. I’ll be right here anytime you need me yeah?”

[Laszlo Miller @The_Do_Good]

He crossed over his heart.

"And hope to do, our scouts honour. Take your pick."

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬. @PropheticProse_]

Oh he’s getting a hard side eye.

“Better keep that to yourself whilst I’m around then.”

[Laszlo Miller @The_Do_Good]

"well that's increased slightly."

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬. @PropheticProse_]

“Fair. What about drinking?”

She raises a brow at him with slightly pursed lips.

[Laszlo Miller @The_Do_Good]

"Never stopped "

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬. @PropheticProse_]

“Mhm. You start smoking again?”

[Laszlo Miller @The_Do_Good]

"never, it's the only thing that keeps me sane."

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬. @PropheticProse_]

There’s a small huff at that comment and she reaches for her coffee to take another drink.

“When aren’t you always working?”

[Laszlo Miller @The_Do_Good]

@PropheticProse_ "maybe you have a book problem."

He teased gently, he knew it was potentially a step too far.

"Work, like always ... Just taken on more of it."

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬. @PropheticProse_]

@The_Do_Good “Yeah except it’s a lot of books…”

She can’t help but ruffle his hair and chuckle softly.

“So what have you been doing to distract yourself from all this stuff?”

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬. @PropheticProse_]

Her eyes follow him as he paces.

“Will you sit the fuck down already? Jesus. Tell me about your last conversation.”

[Laszlo Miller @The_Do_Good]

He paced around, unable to sit still.

"That's what a presumed too, I was just hoping I was doing that thing where I overthink things."

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬. @PropheticProse_]

@The_Do_Good “Yeah I’m going to have to. It’s too much for me to handle at this point BUT I have been sorting the books out.”

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬. @PropheticProse_]

@The_Do_Good “Besides staying sober? Lots of tea and coffee and reading but also trying to tidy the house but I’m sort of at my wits end with that.”

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬. @PropheticProse_]

@The_Do_Good “A bit yeah.” She smiles and gives a gentle laugh. It was nice to see a little smile there. “So what have you been doing? Old habits?”

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬. @PropheticProse_]

@The_Do_Good He can’t see it but there’s a frown on her face. She rubs at his back softly and just hugs/holds him.

“Hey! I thought I was your best friend? But then again I’ve been gone so I get it. I’m so sorry babes.”

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬. @PropheticProse_]

@The_Do_Good Tilly sets down her coffee and just tugs Laz into a warm embrace.

“I’m sorry. I know it fucking sucks, but we’ve just got to get you back to looking tip top. Chin up and a fuck the world attitude. She doesn’t need to define who you are love.”

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬. @PropheticProse_]

she quite misses @IgnisSanguis and wonders where he may be in life.
