[h2][centre] [color=6ecff6]Victoria Darya Romus "Vika" [/color] [/centre][/h2] [h3][centre] [color=a2d39c]Monday Morning . Coffee Pot . Home at Noon (Park view) . "Daughter of Persephone"[/color][/centre][/h3] [hr] Victoria smiled and gave Ethen a slight smirk, important information, that was strange unless he was just being some strange kind of flirty nature that seemed to be making very little sense or reason. Unless he meant the firday night fight night situation. That would make more sense. A time sure, they could work somthing out, she worked but he also had his bad stuff and whatever else he did but hey, where there was a will there's a way round the situation. Returning barely a whisper with her normal accent of English with Russian tinge. [i][color=6ecff6]Then its a date Ethen. Sure, I've got a reroute and all set up. Don, t make me wait too long. [/color][/i] Adding with a small smile, she did kind of enjoy thr novalty of being somewhat considered worth chasing after and to the trollop, somewhat a object of jealously. That was definitely very diffrent to her previous life being seen as some weak or disabled victim. Flushing a little pink but her eyes glittered at his response. She definitely could have fun with this one and she was not quite as innocent as her skin tone seemed to display. Her darkside had a slightly more healthier release than anger, and one that would be alot more fun to boot. Playing with her long highlighted black hair, she twisted a strand round her finger with its glittering diamond acompiment. It was not deliberate as it seemed and was just a a little almost tick she had depevloped. [i][color=6ecff6]Never judge a book by its cover. I might suprise you. I may want to know more... [/color][/i] Laughing quietly with a slightly teasing edge to her voice and seemed rather happy with herself about how things where going. She could break out her shell somewhat and be herself. Not hidden behind the mask of ice and snow, the Raven haired woman was much closer to her true nature. Noticing a slightly uncomfortable Thomas with her who she seemed to have got caught up in her flirtatious response to Ethen, who was rather intresting. He was nice though and it was good to know someone whom you had a shared intrest and so. His look told her, wait... He had intrest in that situation a a little more than he let on. Well they where still friends, or the start of it more accurately. [i][color=6ecff6]of course. I'd not let someones bacon go cold. Not so sorry. Its first time in years I've been able to be myself. It's nice to be free again. I might take you up on that. Plus Im intrigued by your AI defense research programme. Personly and professional, your work [/color][/i] Seeming genuinely more happy as she was open about who she was, the ice princess was not her, sue had been a fun Raven haired and sporty teanager before she became a slight ghost of the old Victoria, weaker and was glad to be able to be true to her nature again as she was regaining her strengh and balence slowly. Even if she be forever slight, pale and remain 4'9 and alot smaller than everyone else unless you Marlas son! She could be taller! And he would be taller in a few years no doubt. Relaxing as he went back, she texted her sister a rather excited message about things. She was excited by things and would have to gauage he response and caution but she wanted to enjoy life, and you had to takw some calculated risks. Finishing off her drink and heading out paying the bill and putting down a tip, why did they always have to tip? Could they not just pay the bill as the bill in US. Like sensible people. With a blip she unlocked the mini convertible parked outside and climbed in with a a little care as she was still not quite fully fit or balenced, well by a fair margin compared to some people. Checking the GPS and headed back via a round about road home, stopping by a shop for some make up, another for a few things for the fridge and a quick stop to fill up. Turning onto the Old Harbour Road about lunch time and headed up to home, the traffic jam was fairly busy switching to a local rock station playing some [i]Beyond Temptation[/i] whole she waited for traffic to begin to move again so she could sit back with a mug of tea in and a maybe finish watching what left of the trashy movie she started the previous night. As she waited, she looked across to see a tall person working on a vacant lot to be building dome kind of cottage and caught a view of a taller figure hammering away at some timber. Glancing across she saw the place was odd for park view, smaller and not grand like the nearby homes. It was cute though, and the grass was wild and the gates and walls needed some care and repairs. Her thoughts where soon brought back to the present as she hered cars moving again and turned a minute or so later Into Hesphestus Manor. [@Almalthia][@Conscripts][@Silver Fox] ... BREAK ... [h2][centre] [color=a2d39c] [color=f6989d]Marinalia Romus Olympus "Mali" [/color][/color][/centre][/h2] [h3][centre] [color=a2d39c]Luna Sports . Later Monday morning[/color][/centre][/h3] [hr] Marinalia calmed slightly to her rather direct response, she definitely was a Cop, but of a kind she was not sure of what or so, rather not like anything she had met before, most where not as intense and also "Bring you in" was not quite a reponse like the police she chatted to at the airport. They where definitely Deadicated but of a diffrent shade. [i][color=f6989d]Remind me not have you after me. Might not end well. Sounds pleasant, I know from experience about idiots and assumptions. Learned to shoot, not my thing despite my dad's best efforts. I always enjoyed fencing back at school, though we could use full swords in final years. Was fun, if a little dangerous. [/color][/i] Admiting abit about herself, that was a strange perk to going to a full private academy, they where rather good for the perks, sports facilities. It was located on a large country estate that had been converted centuries before and it was joked you inherited a place there not got one. The family tradition was to go there, alot of family had been educated there. She had swam for the team there, and taken her first helicopter lesson as part of there little extra programmes that where possible if you wanted to engage in extra curriculum things. Sometimes having a rich family did have perks. Reacting to her, well Paige was strange she gave little away but then she gave out what she wanted. Her whole personality and demeanor was definitely rather prickly and defensively layered. Her eyes where a diffrent story, she definitely was little miss deathstar as Victoria had referred. Realising she made a slightly nervous reaction to things and so but they had rather difficult subjects behind those. They where very definitely going to takw along time to fully heal. She still was slightly conchous of her scar she had from 9 years ago, Marinalia was not one who could easily let somthing go, especially the hurts, well the ones that ran deeply anyway. [i][color=f6989d]Sorry. Just a bad memory. Sol shining reputation has a few shadows. [/color][/i] Trying to brush it off as nothing more than a bad date or somthing., her accent a more forced neutral English that kicked into a more cut glass queen's English than before. She was not very good at hiding her issues from sneaking through. They always managed to to, even when she tried to keep them more suproessed than normal. She could bottle the up totally but she had tried that one and ended up a worse emotional wreck than before. Thrn Xia replied and her accent calmed a a little going softer than the more strictly English she had used before, forcing a calm and a softer side back. Breathe Marlin. Its over, the jerks in jail and will be for a very long time. Keeping the fact from a cop she may have used pepperpray and a rather forceful elbow strike to keep them off, sadly that Ashton caught the bulk of what she was using. But 16-2 or so odds. Cheating was mandatory. [i][color=f6989d]We where OK. Lucky for us, with had a a little advantage to play in the bar. Our lawyer had us out by morning. Good lawyer worth weight in gold... Cost that much to. Purpose... Not sure I'm quite important ernough for divine purpose! Oh. That's why. I Don, t always like the machines. Mums a doctor, aunts a trauma surgeon, I prefer lower impact exercises anyway. Lectures got detailed... [/color][/i] More relaxed. She got a... Posetive vibe from Xia, paige was a wall... Not quite cold but it gave away little, it was harsher. Xia was more open for sure. But somthing deeper about her more than being aprachable. Competive? Well yeah she definitely was in pool and... What the cut off... Questions... Sipping her smoothie and moving her long blonde hair out the way of one of her eyes, it was pretty but had disadvantages. She loved it, but she could bear the disadvantages quite happily. [i][color=f6989d]oh, I'm definitely Competive, im a fish to water. Help out at university a few times on there swim programme as I used to be Competive... Long story.... I had to quit early.[/color][/i] Oh, Paige. How can you say my sister ringed your car and gouged it up, and so. That's not awkward at all... [i][color=f6989d]Oh, we kinda... Yeah, we know each other through someone. Somehow never met despite everything that happened.. London. Nothing as exotic. Sunshine was a luxury! [/color][/i] Adding with a small laugh. Growing up near London sun, warmth and beeches would hardly describe the weather that they had as bikini ready. Well the private times she wore one, not public pools. She had a good feeling about things at the momment and so, a few. Laps and a challenge, Xia might make her have to work hard to beat her, she was rather fit and definitely looked athletic. Taller, she had a runners build more than a swimmer perhaps so advantage might be hard to calculate. It would be a rather even compation of they did.. [@Pilatus][@King Tai]
