the door closed behind them, and lotus's lips thinned slightly .

"have a seat-
do you want a drink?
or a wall to punch?
someone to talk to - ?
all three -- ?"

she's concerned and trying her best -

[𝙳𝚎𝚒𝚣𝚎 𝚂𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚕𝚊𝚗 (𝙳𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚁𝚎𝚒𝚣𝚎) @Vilig4ntB00ms]

Lots…Lots and lots of stuff is what she missed. As Deize entered, he had a whirlwind of emotions in his chest…Anger, sadness, shame, guilt, everything…

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

she wasn't the best at emotions , nor was she the best at facial expressions .
but even she could tell something was up .

"...door's unlocked, let's head inside ."

...the hell did she miss ?

[𝙳𝚎𝚒𝚣𝚎 𝚂𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚕𝚊𝚗 (𝙳𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚁𝚎𝚒𝚣𝚎) @Vilig4ntB00ms]

Deize simply turned to look at her, he looked extremely stressed out and tired…He didn’t even look like an extremely angry demon. He looked more like a sad and scared teenager looking for someone to turn to.

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
and so would she, behind her pupil.

"maybe.
but what if she does bite ?"

[𝙳𝚎𝚒𝚣𝚎 𝚂𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚕𝚊𝚗 (𝙳𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚁𝚎𝚒𝚣𝚎) @Vilig4ntB00ms]

A council that she heard knocking on her door as well as a voice from behind the door.

❝It’ll be okay, Deize…She’s family…She won’t bite…❞

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

she's been catching up on the months worth of sleep she's actively disallowed herself from getting
so she actually feels energised for once.
that being said, her pupil might be a bit undertrained as of recent.

maybe she should go find him -

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

coff

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

"Because you confuse me."

[𝕎𝕀𝕃𝔻 ℂ𝔸ℝ𝔻/ℝ𝔼𝔹𝔼𝕃 ℍ𝔼𝔸ℝ𝕋 @wildxcardrebel]

@SoulofLotus_

"Why do we keep running into each other?"

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

don't worry, others have said worse.
you're fine .

and, depends .
would you call what we have a friendship ?

[𝕎𝕀𝕃𝔻 ℂ𝔸ℝ𝔻/ℝ𝔼𝔹𝔼𝕃 ℍ𝔼𝔸ℝ𝕋 @wildxcardrebel]

oh . . . i'm sorry .

so , are we . . . friends ?

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

"the one you're best at"

shuffling the deck . . .
kinda
fumbling .

[𝙳𝚎𝚒𝚣𝚎 𝚂𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚕𝚊𝚗 (𝙳𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚁𝚎𝚒𝚣𝚎) @Vilig4ntB00ms]

Sitting up.

❝Which card game is this?❞

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

hm .

materialising a deck of cards, and a small table .

"Let's play."

[𝙳𝚎𝚒𝚣𝚎 𝚂𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚕𝚊𝚗 (𝙳𝚊𝚛𝚔 𝚁𝚎𝚒𝚣𝚎) @Vilig4ntB00ms]

<——— Laying on the floor…B O R E D…

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

. . .
i have no parents -

but no, she's one of my closest friends .

[𝕎𝕀𝕃𝔻 ℂ𝔸ℝ𝔻/ℝ𝔼𝔹𝔼𝕃 ℍ𝔼𝔸ℝ𝕋 @wildxcardrebel]

why? is she your mom or something?

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

talk to him more, he'd help a lot.

and yeah, i suppose you could call me that .
but you can thank her for most of that.

[𝕎𝕀𝕃𝔻 ℂ𝔸ℝ𝔻/ℝ𝔼𝔹𝔼𝕃 ℍ𝔼𝔸ℝ𝕋 @wildxcardrebel]

he's mostly black , actually .

honestly , i'm surprised by this . you just seem very . . . aloof ? i guess that's the best way to describe it .

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

||♡|| that's going in the drafts
none of you are ready for that 🍵

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

huh .
funny how that works .

also get a black cat they're cool .

[𝕎𝕀𝕃𝔻 ℂ𝔸ℝ𝔻/ℝ𝔼𝔹𝔼𝕃 ℍ𝔼𝔸ℝ𝕋 @wildxcardrebel]

i...

i have a cat. also, that's therapy. you're literally doing therapy.

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

i have a lot of things going on
nothing like that.

mainly because i have a cat lady friend that i tell all my worries to.
have you tried having a cat lady friend that you tell all your worries to? shit helps.

[𝕎𝕀𝕃𝔻 ℂ𝔸ℝ𝔻/ℝ𝔼𝔹𝔼𝕃 ℍ𝔼𝔸ℝ𝕋 @wildxcardrebel]

i sincerely doubt that.

most people who associate with me have SOMETHING going on.

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

ohhh.

i have none .

[𝕎𝕀𝕃𝔻 ℂ𝔸ℝ𝔻/ℝ𝔼𝔹𝔼𝕃 ℍ𝔼𝔸ℝ𝕋 @wildxcardrebel]

No, I meant mental and emotional trauma.

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

i've never broken, or fractured, a bone in my life

[𝕎𝕀𝕃𝔻 ℂ𝔸ℝ𝔻/ℝ𝔼𝔹𝔼𝕃 ℍ𝔼𝔸ℝ𝕋 @wildxcardrebel]

you also talk about your trauma

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

absolutely .
i've told /many/ people how I feel around them.
mostly negative things.

but therapy.

[𝕎𝕀𝕃𝔻 ℂ𝔸ℝ𝔻/ℝ𝔼𝔹𝔼𝕃 ℍ𝔼𝔸ℝ𝕋 @wildxcardrebel]

do you, though?

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

i talk about my feelings all the time .

[𝕎𝕀𝕃𝔻 ℂ𝔸ℝ𝔻/ℝ𝔼𝔹𝔼𝕃 ℍ𝔼𝔸ℝ𝕋 @wildxcardrebel]

when you talk about your feelings

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

what the fuck is a therapy

[Lotus . @SoulofLotus_]

sipping some tea while reading the newspaper .
she's bored .
