Neptune

Rowan’s lips curved in a smile at her words, his golden eyes sparkling in happiness. He leaned down, giving her a chaste kiss, “Good. And in return… I’ll make you feel pleasure you’ve never felt before and yet want over, and over again.” He said, befores pressing his lips harder against hers, preventing her from answering. He pushed his tongue into her mouth, kissing her passionately. He placed his weight down on one of his hands which was leaning down above her head, keeping her somewhat enclosed in his embrace almost as if he was holding her protectively. His other hand continued to rub and toy with her nipple, using the stimulation along with the kiss to distract her. He shifted his hips, allowing the head of his cock to slide down her pussy lips until it came to rest at the entrance of her pussy. He paused a moment before pressing himself against her. He felt resistance at first, stopping him from being able to gain entrance. He paused for a moment before pushing harder against her. The pressure against the head of his cock increased for a moment before it suddenly vanished as her hymen snapped and his cock sank several inches into her deflowered cunt. He pulled away from the kiss with a soft gasp, his eyes closing for a few moments. She felt so tight, and hot around him. It was almost as if her pussy was squeezing the life out of his cock. It was so tight it was actually painful. He was so glad that she was so wet, otherwise this would have been even more painful for the both of them. He made the right decision in preparing her properly. He let out a soft grunt, “Fuck, Natia… You’re so damn tight…” He said with a soft pant. His hips moved of their own accord, pulling back slightly before pushing back into her as he began setting up a gentle rhythm. He didn’t want to slam all the way inside of her, because that would only cause a huge amount of pain for her. Instead, he patiently allowed his cock to glide in and out, slowly allowing her body to adjust to the intrusion and to slowly open up further to allow more of his cock inside of her. Rowan kissed her again, this time softly and tenderly as he hoped that it would comfort her through any pain that she was experiencing. His hand moved up from her nipple to stroke her soft cheek before it returned to the nipple, toying with it lazily to keep at least some amount of pleasure for the young woman as he watched her carefully in concern, hoping that he wasn’t making her too uncomfortable.

Location: Outside the city perimetre, en-route to Rosayia Forest Daedrin couldn’t help but to feel a little amused at the mans confident statement about being able to take care of the monsters when they appeared. He couldn’t help but to caution, “Don’t allow yourself to become over-confident. That’s how you die.” He said as he tucked the map away again before grabbing the reins. He lightly kicked Daegrin’s flanks as he shook the reins causing the Aelda to start forward at a canter as he didn’t feel like having anymore discussion as he felt himself go deep into thought, only half paying attention to where they were going. But then the route was fairly easy, as long as they kept the river on their right. They would stumble upon the ford soon enough. Even he couldn’t afford to be over-confident, especially with the gifts that had been bestowed on him by his father that allow him to take care of most situations. But then again, he had felt something strange about Izanagi that he couldn’t quite put his finger on. Something familiar and yet something so different. It confused him, and he was curious to let Izanagi attempt to take care of any troubles just to find out more about him. Daedrin certainly wasn’t going to risk revealing any of his own secrets unless the situation was that dire. And even then, he may call upon those that were watching over him, protecting him, so that his cover wasn’t completely blown. The appearance of Divine beings was perhaps easier to explain. But Daedrin doubted it would ever reach that point. He was skilled enough in fighting to not need his abilities too much. His gaze moved out over the river which sluggishly flowed beside them, watching as a kingfisher dove into the water before it erupted out of the water and flew to a perch where it started eating its prize. Daedrin turned his eyes away from the scene to keep an eye on where they were moving. The sun made lazy progress across the sky as the two of them followed the path up the cover, their horses seemingly inexhaustible as the canter easily ate up the miles that were stretched before them. With his sharp vision, Daedrin could see the walls the village of Hermitage long before Izanagi could. It meant that the ford was close by, and he turned his eyes back to the river as they continued to follow its curve. It was unfortunate that the ford wasn’t to the North of the Ildran River, as that would reduce the time of their journey. As it was, they had to stick to the south of the Ildran River until they drew close to the mountains of Enutpen’s Glory before the river was shallow enough for them to cross so that they could pass by Ashaba. Due to how dark the river water was, Daedrin almost missed the ford. He was glad that his eyes were far sharper than that of a human, otherwise he would have missed it completely. He slowed Daegrin to a walk, the Aelda snorting in annoyance as he did so. Daedrin patted Daegrin on the side of his neck before he looked up and across the river, “Once we cross here. We’re stepping into the Forests Bounds.” He said, before turning to look at Izanagi, “The Forest isn’t a place to step lightly. It is filled with monsters and other horrors. Even the most hardened war veterans cannot handle it.” He said, trying to get across how dangerous the place was. He didn’t want Izanagi to become so confident that it stepped into the realms of arrogance and thus get himself killed as a result. He then turned back and nudged Daegrin forwards causing the huge stallion to step into the cold river water. He had absolutely no trace of fear as he carried Daedrin across the wide river, the water swirling around his legs. They easily reached the other side and Daegrin pulled them up onto the riverbank, walking several paces before Daedrin pulled him to a step. He carefully scanned the foliage before them, every sense alert for anything that would jump out at them. But all he could hear was the song of birds, however he did not allow him to relax just because everything seemed fine on the surface. He remained where he was, waiting for his companion to join him.

Location: Redford Park Time: 08:35. At Halie’s condolences, Rose shrugged her shoulders a little before giving a small smile to try and show that Halie didn’t need to worry over her. She felt relieved when Halie changed the subject, going back to the topic of guns and shooting. Even if Rose didn’t know much about it, it was better than talking about her family. It was always quite a depressing topic to her, and she prefered to avoid it as much as possible. So she eagerly clung to Halie’s words. Her blue eyes went wide as she saw the blade that the girl drew. She had never seen a knife up close before, and she felt a little intimidated by how sharp it looked. It looked very dangerous. She saw the word that was scratched onto the handle, and could only assume that it was the name she had given the blade. She felt herself cringe back a little when the knife came closer, but she couldn’t help but to gaze at it with a sense of awe, “I-it is pretty.” She admitted, “I’ve never seen a knife like this before…” She then laughed a little nervously, “Back where I come from, England, a knife like this would be illegal. I don’t think we can even carry around a butter knife.” She added, before looking back up at Halie. She saw a flicker of a dark look across the girls face but it was gone so quickly that she wondered if she had imagined it. She then blinked when the girl asked if Rose could take her back to her house. After a moment, she nodded slightly, “Sure… All I am doing out here is walking with Shane and talking to you.” She said, giving another smile. She then looked at Shane and called out, “Shane!” The dog immediately came bounding over with the stick in his mouth, his tail wagging, “Time to go home, buddy.” Rose told him before leaning over and grabbing the dogs collar. She shifted the leash in her hand, before clipping it onto the collar. She then glanced around to get her bearings, as she had gotten distracted talking to her new friend, “This way.” She said, pointing out behind them as she turned and started walking, “My house isn’t that far from the park. Only about five minutes walking.” She said as Shane padded serenely at her side, proudly holding the stick in his mouth. Location: On-route to Winter Flowers. Time: 08:45 Zack had been so deep in thought that at first he had not noticed that someone was approaching him. His eyes snapped open when a soft, musical voice spoke and he turned his head to look at its source. He froze slightly upon seeing a young woman standing close to him. She was stunningly beautiful, with long blonde hair and captivating blue eyes. She looked very embarrassed and nervous as if she didn’t particularly like being this close to him. His green eyes then shifted downwards, taking note of what she was wearing. It left nothing to the imagination, and he felt his mouth going slightly dry because he wanted nothing more than to just fuck her hard. As he looked back up into her face, he realised that she reminded him of Silvia, back when he had first met her. When she had been a shy, beautiful young woman that gazed at him lovingly. That thought made him suddenly feel angry, because this girl reminded him of something that he had lost and felt like he would never get back. Now thoughts were filling his mind about tying this young woman up so that she was helpless and vulnerable as he fucked her without mercy. He gritted his teeth slightly, taking a deep breath through his nose to try and control his unruly emotions. It was then that the words she spoke registered in his mind, “Help? What kind of help?” He asked, the words sounding a little harsher than he intended. He sucked in a little air, cursing himself before asking in a much softer tone, “What do you need help with?” He tapped his cigarette, causing the ash on the end to drop off onto the pavement, only to be whisked away by a gentle breeze. He took another pull of the cigarette and blew the smoke out to the side as he calmed himself down.

Location: Selil Stables, Selil Marketplace and outside the city perimetre. With no discernible change in expression, Daedrin nodded although inwardly he was pleased. Not quite the name he would have picked but he felt that it suited the white mare. He reached up, patting Lucky’s curved neck, “That is a good name. I hope she brings us much luck.” He said before turning around and moving to Daegrin’s left side. As the stables were pretty much within view distance of the gates, it would be fine to mount up so that they could ride. However before he did that, he untied one of the bed rolls from the large Aelda before moving back to Lucky and tying it onto her so that Izanagi was carrying his own bed roll. Once he was satisfied that it was secure, he returned to Daegrin’s left side, gripping onto the saddle as he put his left foot into the stirrup before pulling himself up. He swung his right leg over the Aelda and settled into the saddle which was extra padded for comfort which for him, was a good thing all things considered. He shifted a couple of times to get comfortable before picking up his reins. He looked at Izanagi, “The gate is just over there. We can ride from here.” He said before he nudged Daegrin’s sides with his feet gently, causing the powerful beast to start walking forwards. He guided Daegrin out of the stable property by tugging on the reins to tell the animal which direction to go. They stepped out into the street and turned towards the gate, still moving at a walking pace so not to disturb the other citizens, both on foot and horse. As they neared the gates, they could see that it was guarded by a contingent of soldiers who were carefully watching everyone as they passed in and out of the city. They were a mix of humans and Keza’s, a response to the tension caused by The Black Ones and the threat that they posed to the security of the nation. The soldiers looked at him as he passed, nodding at him as they recognised who he was, while they eyed Izanagi with suspicion but let him past without any troubles. Daedrin lead Izanagi away from the city, looking over his shoulder to see the huge city walls beginning to disappear. He then slowed Daegrin down so that he was riding beside Izanagi. He reached into his saddlebag and pulled out a rolled piece of parchment which he unrolled to reveal a map, “There should be a ford in the river close to Hermitage where we can cross with the horses. It will take a few hours, if we move at a canter. It will eat up miles but won’t exhaust Lucky too much.” He said, as Daegrin could easily gallop the distance without too much effort but a human bred horse didn’t have the same kind of resilience.

Location: Selil Stables, Selil Marketplace. Daedrin watched as Izanagi took his advice on board and picked one of the two saddles that he had picked out as well as a bridle that matched it before agreeing for the stable master to saddle the beast for him. He red eyed man watched as the stable master began to saddle the beast, using efficient and well practised movements that spoke louder than words that he was used to saddling horses of all sizes and breeds. The mare was also very placid, remaining still as everything was put on her, not reacting when the man tugged and pulled at the saddle. His eyes then moved over to Izanagi who was staring out into the paddock with his eyes lost in thought. Daedrin watched him for a few moments, wondering what the man was thinking about. But he wasn’t curious enough to actually ask. What a man thought within his own thoughts was his business unless he decided to reveal them. It wasn’t his place to force someone to reveal their thoughts. He looked back at the stable master when the man had finished the saddling. He looked back at Izanagi, “Let’s go.” He said, before moving off. The stable master hastily moved out in front to the front of the stable, opening the door so that Izanagi could pass through with the mare. Daedrin moved over to where Daegrin was patiently waiting, untying him from the pole before coming back so he could join his companion. The stable master eyed the Aelda, “Is that your horse? He’s a fine beast. I would love to be able to breed my mares with him.” He said, eyeing Daegrin appreciatively. “He is. I do not have any intention to breed him.” Daedrin said in a tone that he hoped would end the discussion. The stable master flinched slightly before nodding slightly as he went silent, heading back inside and closing the door behind him once Izanagi was outside. Daedrin turned to look at his companion for a moment before asking, “Your mare has no name right now. What are you going to call her?”

Rowan watched as her lips curved into a smile he had never seen on her face before, and yet he wanted her to smile like that more often especially if it was due to what he was doing to her. He continued his furious speed, knowing from the rapid pace of her breathing and the trembling in her limbs that she was close. Then she uttered the words that she was going to, before gasping in heavy moans. He increased the pressure of his tongue, before he then felt the liquid splashing against his tongue. His tongue worked overtime to lick up every drop of that sweet nectar, his mouth latching onto her virgin pussy as he drank every drop. He couldn’t get enough of that sweet liquid that seemed to call him, urging him to force more from her so that he could have more. He then pulled away, his tongue licking at what had splashed against his face. He straightened so that he was kneeling between her open legs before he smiled down at her, “You did, yes. But that was what I was aiming for, Natia.” He said, his smile widening when he saw that she had covered her red face with her hands. She was so adorable when she was embarrassed like this. He then decided that it was perhaps time that he was as naked as she was. He pulled off his shirt, revealing a well muscled torso due to his life as a thief and spy that required him to be athletic which gave him a well muscled, yet lithe body build with muscles across his chest and arms, and a well defined six pack. He carelessly threw the article of clothing aside before shifting as he pulled down his trousers and wiggled out of them so that he was left completely naked. His cock was not like a human’s cock. It was purple in colour and for the most part it was completely smooth with a more pointed tip instead of a mushroom head. He also had small nubs around the base of his cock which would stimulate the entrance to the pussy. It was also fifteen inches long and was rock hard. It was one of the ways that people could tell the difference between a Keza and a Neko, despite their other physical similarities. The Keza’s cocks were a lot different in shape, form and even function. No Neko had anything like it, unless they were part Keza themselves, proving that the two were completely different species. Rowan shifted, moving up her body until he was looking down at her covered face as he smiled. He pressed one hand beside her head to hold his weight up while he used the other to gently pull her hands away from her face so that he could smile at her, “You look so beautiful when you blush like that.” He leaned down, pressing his mouth against hers as he gave her a soft and tender kiss, hoping that it would distract her from her embarrassment. His free hand moved down, stroking down her shoulder before brushing over her rock hard nipple. He then pulled away from the kiss, looking back up into her eyes, “Are you ready?” He asked. He lowered his hips slightly, pressing the hard length of his cock against her clit, rubbing against it slightly to stimulate the small bundle of nerves. Her body certainly felt as if it was ready. She was soaking wet, and it would easily slide into her depths where his cock was aching to be right now. But he would only do that upon her signal. Luckily, due to the shape of his cock, he would be able to easily penetrate her and bury himself inside of her. His cock throbbed against her clit in anticipation.

I'm more than happy to have Zack as a blackmailer. He's the more flexible of the two characters that I have. As for Serenity... it's entirely possible that she could suspect him of something illegal. You'd need to look at his blackmail material. We can always talk about it either through EcchiText or you can DM me on Discord if you want. Or it could just be a chance meeting like at a shop or something like she's chasing a random criminal and he points her in their direction. It could be any number of ways. It's a shame Lisa hasn't done any posting, I've never roleplayed with her before and I was looking forward to see her characters in action. If she's not been doing other posts, it's possible that they're just very busy. A number of people have gotten pretty busy as of late, including myself. I don't like gore if it's used sexually, like fucking someone with a severed limb. Non-sexual, I'm fine with it. It can be good for horror RP and I've roleplayed a few number of gore scenes that weren't sexual. Maybe I should make that clearer in my preferences.

Location: Daedrin’s Blacksmith, Selil Marketplace. Daedrin watched Izanagi as the man reached into his coat pocket before pulling out a sack of gold and handing it over to the stable master. His red eyes then shifted back to the horses as his companion claimed his mount. Before Daedrin could answer Izanagi’s question, the stable Master spoke up, “You will need a saddle and a bridle. I would also recommend that you get a saddle blanket. This is all included in the price.” He bowed slightly with a smile, “Let me return the stallion and I will be right back with you.” He said before leading the stallion away and handing it off to one of his helpers. He then came back and indicated for the two of them to follow as he lead them off to one corner of the barn where there was a collection of leather saddles sitting on display. The stable Master said, “As you can see, we have several styles, including some coloured leather like black saddles. They’re all in really good condition and, if you would like, we can saddle your horse for you.” Daedrin looked over the saddles with a keen eye before stepping forwards and gripping one, shifting it to inspect it. He saw that the leather was a little worn and shook his head, “This one isn’t suitable. It’s a little too worn to be suitable. Not made very well, either.” He said, before moving onto the next one. It was black in colour, like his was, and it looked brand new. He nodded his head to show Izanagi that it was a good saddle to go for. Not only was it new, but it was well made and he figured it would last for quite a while. The mare that he had purchased was certainly worth him keeping a hold of her. He shifted to the next saddle which was a dark brown in colour and was clearly made by the same person as the previous saddle as again, it was in a fantastic condition and was well made. He inspected the other saddles, but the two best were the black and dark brown one. He moved over to the bridles and inspected them, inspecting the leather and seeing if it was worn, or strained by they were all suitable. He moved back over to Izanagi and pointed to the two saddles, “I would recommend going for either one of those two. They’re the best quality of the ones there. The bridles… take your pick, they’re all good. I would recommend getting a saddle blanket though. That will prevent the mare from getting sores.” He said in a low tone that the saddlemaster couldn’t hear. He then stepped back, letting Izanagi make his choice.

At the sound of her plea, Rowan pulled back slightly and looked up her body and into her eyes, “Relax.” He told her softly, “Just let yourself go.” He purred softly before once again pressing his tongue down onto her clit and pressing against it. He wanted to taste her sweet juices and to have her cum hard from his ministrations. It would ensure that she was wet enough for them to proceed to the next stage. His tongue moved down between her slick lips to gently press against the entrance to her pussy, rotating his tongue to stimulate the sensitive nerves around the entrance but not pressing too deep as to cause pain by pressing against her unbroken hymen. He had to admit to himself that one of the reasons he was licking her out like this, was because he wanted to hear her sweet moans as she reached a climax. Her whimpers, and that sweet cry she let out were already driving him crazy. Her voice was so sweet and expressive, and he absolutely loved making her let out sounds of pleasure. He wanted more, and thus he was more than willing to take his time to enjoy this as much as possible. For him, sex was a very good way to relax and to clear one's head, especially with someone as sweet as Natia. Rowan moved his tongue back up, licking away at the juices that had built up before he once again pressed his strong tongue against her swollen clit. He wrapped his lips around it once again before he began to flick his tongue back and forth against the bundle of nerves, before rotating his tongue against it while being careful not to lip up under the clitoral hood. He picked up the pace of his tongue movements to try and force the orgasm from her so that she could no longer fight against it. His eyes were glued to her face, watching it closely so that he could see her face at the moment of orgasm. His hands kept a firm grip on her thighs, keeping her legs spread so that she was completely vulnerable to his attacking mouth as he licked at her most intimate area. He could feel her thighs trembling and straining against him slightly as she was trying to close her legs. He couldn’t help but to smirk slightly, loving the fact that she was so exposed and vulnerable to him like this. He knew that this was the first time she had ever experienced something like this, and it made him happy that he was the one teaching her about it. He wasn’t going to stop his torturous attack until he had gotten what he had wanted.

Location: Redford Park Time: 08:34. Rose listened carefully as Halie explained that her Daddy provided everything for her, and it made Rose wonder what her Dad did as clearly it was enough to let Halie do what she wanted. Her eyes widened slightly when the girl admitted that she wanted to be a surgeon. To Rose, that was a goal worthy of awe, as she knew it was hard to become a doctor, of any of the fields. Rose hoped that Halie would be able to achieve her goal, and thus be able to dedicate her life to saving the lives of others. She found her respect for the girl rising and she smiled widely at Halie before she blinked in surprise when the girl admitted to liking hunting. Coming from England, Rose had a natural aversion to guns and she doubted that she could ever hold one in her life. The thought of hunting was a little scary to her, and she shivered slightly, “Ah… I’ve never been hunting in my life. I don’t even know how to use a gun.” Rose admitted with a nervous laugh. Her smile when completely dropped at Halie’s next questions and she couldn’t help but to wince a little. She didn’t respond at first, instead watching Shane as he bounded after the stick that she had thrown for him. Finally, she gave a small shrug, “On my days off… yeah, I’m alone. I love my parents very much but… even when I don’t have the day off I’m alone most of the time. My Dad spends most of his time outside of the house… usually at the gym, or going to a bar. He even sometimes spends the nights away. I have quite the good relationship with him. My mother though… I’m not even sure if there is a relationship there. If she isn’t at work, she’s at home and just sits in the living room staring at the television until she goes to bed. I doubt she would realise I was there even if I danced naked in front of her. Mum and Dad aren’t having a good time with each other… they’ve tried to hide it from me, but I know they don’t sleep in the same bed anymore.” Rose said, not entirely sure why she was spilling everything onto a complete stranger, but it felt good to talk about these problems. She took a deep breath before she went on to say, “I… had a sister. Aimie. But she died ten years ago. I don’t think my parents have ever gotten over it. It’s one of the reasons why we moved here from England. To try and get away from the memories but I think she haunts us even more… but yeah, my parents aren’t going to be back home until about eight this evening. I’ve got the entire day to myself.” She kicked a stone at her feet, watching as it bounced off of a tree before rolling down into a small stream. She was feeling rather down now, as she hated being reminded of the little sister that she had lost. Shane came came back, his tail wagging as he dropped his stick at her feet. She bent over, picking it up before throwing it away again, watching as the canine jumped away from her in pursuit of it.

@Aura I don't have any current plans for the character. He's labelled as an Onlooker at the moment, but he's able to be both Blackmailer and Victim depending on RP circumstances. He has reasons to be both. Amelia is good, although I imagine you will be wanting to keep her relatively close to Jasmine? Amelia is at the limit of the age I am willing to RP publicly so I'm not to sure on the suitability there and I don't want to ruin any plans you have regarding Amelia and Jasmine.

Location: Daedrin’s Blacksmith, Selil Marketplace. Daedrin watched as the stable master brought the two animals up to them, who were several hands smaller than his own mount. It did sometimes make Daedrin wonder how human bred horses were able to support weight of any kind, but he knew that they were suitable for what they wanted. He turned his head towards Izanagi when the man made his request, one of his slender eyebrows arching slightly before he gave a slight nod and looked back at the two beasts. The Courser horse, the mare, was slightly smaller than the stallion. He stepped towards the white horse, reaching up and running a hand across its cheek as he peered into her dark eyes as the animal observed him calmly, not afraid of a strange human touching her. He stepped to her side, running a hand down her curved neck and eyeing down her body. She was slightly leaner than the other horse, with a frame built for speed. Her coat was a good colour, with no sign of any abuse. His hand moved down, feeling her shoulder before moving down to her front leg but again, the horse wasn’t bothered. He bent down, gripping her leg and forcing it up as he inspected the shoe. “She was reshod the other day. The stallion a week ago.” The stable master said, causing Daedrin to grunt slightly in reply as he lowered the foot and straightened. He stepped further forward until he was at the horses hindquarters. He glanced back, seeing that she wasn’t bothered by his close proximity despite being out of her line of sight. A number of horses often became nervous, so this was a good sign. He checked the hind leg, testing its flexibility and the smoothness of the joint. He then moved around behind the horse, patting her on the rump, “She’s a good horse.” He commented quietly. He then turned his attention to the stallion. He wasn’t as lean as the mare, with more muscles and a more powerful hindquarters that made his hind legs more springy so while he was stronger, he was still quite fast. He moved to the front of the horse, stroking its neck as he observed the face of the animal who regarded him calmly. He then moved so the animals front leg, touching its muscles in a similar way to the way he had the mare. He lifted the horses front leg up, looking at the horses shoe, seeing that it was still in very good condition meaning that it was a professional job. He lowered the foot, moving down to the animals hindquarters, inspecting the shoe on the hind leg. As he moved around the animal, he saw that the animal turned his head, watching Daedrin but not reacting. Daedrin came back around, patting the stallion on his shoulder before he went to join Izanagi again, “They’re both very good horses. It’s a take your pick, really. The mare will be faster, and thus good at moving around the battlefield. She will also be the cheaper option. The Destrier though, is physically stronger and thus able to carry more weight. They both seem to have a suitable enough temperament.” He said, before looking at the stable master, “Price?” He asked. “The stallion is fifty gold, sir. The mare is thirty.” The stable master replied. Daedrin turned to look back at Izanagi, “It’s your choice, really.” He said, before turning his head to look at the two horses as they waited patiently for Izanagi to make a choice between the two.

Location: CEO Office, Naughty Cow Dairy Alvina nodded her head at his request, “Of course.” She said understandingly as she turned so that she was no longer facing him and left the room. Just before she left, she said, “I’ll try and make sure that no one else comes in while you’re here. Just knock on the door if you want me to come back in, alright?” She turned back to him, giving him a sweet smile before she stepped through the door and closed it behind her. She let out a sigh of relief as she leaned against the door. Truth be told, she was just as glad to get out of there. While David wasn’t a bad looking guy, she had never seen a guy naked before and she didn’t think she could cover up her embarrassment. She certainly wouldn’t be able to get that image out of her head for weeks to come, and if he was working there she was certain to see him frequently. She doubted that either of them could live with the embarrassment. Alvina looked up and down the corridor, seeing that it was completely empty and quiet. It was quite boring and she was going to have to wait here for an hour or so. She winced, before she reached into her pocket and pulling out her phone. She checked the battery, finding that it had plenty of power left. She opened up one of her games and started playing it, hoping to be able to waste the time while waiting for David to be finished. She just hoped that she had enough games to distract her, but a part of her doubted it. She could go on social media, but she wasn’t a big social media user, only using it to keep in touch with a few of her school friends. She hated the vapid posts that she found, that made her roll her eyes and then exit the app. No, she would stick to her games and perhaps browsing the internet for something to read while waiting.

Location: Redford Park Time: 08:33. Rose looked up at Halie in surprise, her blue eyes widening slightly at the girls offer. She paused for a moment before she continued walking, “A… are you sure? I mean, Shane is very good with other animals but… you should always be careful. I could always leave him at home… mum and dad are at work at the moment, but he’s used to being on his own, even if it’s a few hours. He’s not like he used to be.” Rose said, before she giggled softly, “Once when he was younger, we left him alone in the house and he tossed up all the cushions on the sofa, and knocked all the pillows off of the bed. He didn’t break anything but…” Rose shook her head slightly, “He’s a good boy though.” She added, looking at the german shepherd with affection. Shane padded over to them, his tail wagging furiously. Rose petted him on top of the head before she bent down and picked up a stick off of the ground. She then threw it, causing Shane to chase after it. Rose glanced up at Halie again, reaching up to rub the back of her neck as she nervously asked, “So… what… what is it that you do?” She asked before she shyly looked away again hoping that her question wasn’t too presumptuous, watching as Shane came running back with the stick in his mouth. Rose grabbed the stick, wrestling with the dog for a few moments before she yanked it from his mouth before throwing it off again with a smile as she watched her best friend running off after it. She was glad that her father had bought Shane, after they had moved to this city. She couldn’t imagine her life without him, and his presence had become a reassurance to her and became the companion that her little sister never was. Location: Convenience shop, and on-route to Winter Flowers. Time: 08:40 It only took a few minutes for Zack to reach the shop in question, a small local convenience shop. He walked to the entrance, the doors opening sluggishly before him as he stepped into the building. The rather dull, quiet sound of music tickled his ears, with the slight screeching sound that came with poor quality speakers. He looked to his left where the till was, to see a middle aged man sitting at the counter reading a newspaper that was spread out before him on the till. The man looked up and saw Zack, giving him a slight nod before returning his attention back to the papers. Zack turned his gaze back to the shop before him before he walked deeper inside. He had been here so many times that his steps were subconscious and took his straight to his first stop. The alcohol. He needed a drink, almost as badly as he needed something to smoke. His eyes roamed over the choices that the shop had. It was mainly watery beer and lager, certainly nothing compared to his home country. He hated american hop drinks. His eyes moved over to the spirits to see what they had, and saw only one thing he wanted. Whiskey. He reached out, taking down a bottle before he turned and walked towards the cash desk. As he passed through one of the isles, he picked up a packet of sour cream and chive crisps, or chips as the American’s called them. Zack still wasn’t used to the various names, and sometimes found himself staring at a dumbfounded expression when he used crisps, instead of chips. Or chips instead of fries. He was trying his best, though. It was something embarrassing when it happened and he hated being embarrassed. He reached the counter and put the two items on the counter as he said, “Pack of twenty please as well as a lighter.” The cashier pulled away from his news paper as he turned and picked up a packet of twenty cigarettes. He put them down next to the whiskey before picking up a disposable lighter and adding it to the pile. The man then pressed his slightly chubby finger against the worn buttons of the till register with loud clicking sounds. Zack reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet. He opened it up, taking out the number of notes he needed as he had learnt the amount from memory. He threw them down on the counter, to which the cashier picked them up and put them into the till before giving over his change. Zack put it away into his wallet, before slipping his wallet into his pocket again as the cashier was putting his items into a plastic bag. Zack gave the man a nod of thanks, before he picked up his bag and walked out of the shop and started walking back towards the flower shop. He had only turned the corner when he stopped, turning to lean against the wall. He reached into the bag and pulled out the packet of cigarettes as he undid the plastic wrapping and opened up the box. He pulled out one of the smooth sticks and put it between his lips as he put the cigarette packet into his pocket. He took out the lighter, holding his hands up to shield from the breeze as he lit his cigarette. He pulled the smoke into his mouth, holding it with one hand as he slipped the lighter into his pocket as well. He pulled the cigarette away as he inhaled the smoke into his lungs. Almost instantly, he could feel the irritation burning beneath his skin fade away, as his muscles relaxed. He sighed out the smoke, closing his eyes for a moment before he lifted the stick to his mouth again and took another pull of it. He had decided to have a well deserved smoke before he headed back to the shop, and Silvia’s cold shoulder. He wished Rose was there, as she acted as a good buffer between the two of them. One of the things that pissed him off the most about the whole situation, was that Silvia’s attitude was hurting their only living daughter. He could see how much it upset Rose, and Zack thought it was disgusting that Silvia was just pushing her own daughter away like that.
