[indent][color=997a8d]The smirk that played on her lips as the conquest of Natalia’s obviously [i]fun[/i] night scurried by was paired with the teasing rise of her eyebrows as she made eye contact with ‘The Conquerer’. Out rushed one girl and in another entered, but this time it was the bearer of food and caffeine, and the cutest one of the three roommates. 

[color=ec3b83][b]“The usual thing this morning, kicking holes in punching bags and owing debts, except I was [i]delightfully[/i] interrupted by Gennie again, oh how they love to ruin my day.”[/b][/color] Khione grumbled leaning her hip against the back of the couch after having followed after Mina into the living area and away from the front door. With the innocent, and painfully oblivious, girl involved in the conversation Khione had to be careful about her words. Ever since the first slip up she and Natalia had been referring to Genesis as a person they both knew, and disliked, which wasn’t far from the truth, The Order was a growing pain in Khione’s ass and would soon become one for Natalia. 

A growling stomach directed Khione to her usual iced americano and banana nut bread, [color=ec3b83][b]“Thanks for picking this up, Mimi, what would we do without you?”[/b][/color] Though the glittering of gold ink caught her eye and her attention as she opted for grabbing the thick letter addressed to her instead of the slice of sweetness and carbs. 

If there was one thing Mina was good at, it was taking care of her small family. She loved doing it, even if it was in the form of a nice home cooked meal. [color=fabade][b]“Probably starve to death and forget to shower.”[/b][/color] Her wide, youthful gaze subtly glanced over to see the letter that drew Khi’s attention. Subtle action, but she noticed. There was a moment of curiosity, before the morning bird cheerfully made her way to the sofa arm, leaned her plump ass against it, and took a deep sip of her tea. Peaceful. To her, the Loft was tranquil. Her happy place and her only safe haven. If she didn’t have any responsibilities, she would never leave. 

Natalia was quick to grab her usual coffee and donut order as it was offered to her. Sure, there were fancier offerings at the cafe Mina liked to go to, but the classics are classics for a reason. Donuts and coffees were the perfect start to the day, especially the double chocolate dip that she wanted to sink her teeth into immediately. However, there were a couple of name mentions that required her attention.

She took a careful sip of coffee, making sure it wasn’t too hot and had the right amount of creaminess and sweetness to it. She wasn’t too worried about the latter, Mina was usually 100% on the order, and the cafe didn’t muck around with it. It turned out the walk back had done its job in cooling the beverage enough that it could be drunk easily, without burning her most valuable instrument. [color=8a2cb5]“OK, first of all sis, how the fuck did you know who Becky was? It literally took her telling me her name this morning to figure out she wasn’t Britney or Bethany or Lavender or something else.”[/color] 

She took a longer sip this time. [color=8a2cb5]“Second, yes, as far as I know, we are still on for tonight. We might even be able to get that record deal locked up for sure if my contact can stop pestering me about joining her cult to get the contract organized.”[/color] Nat was careful not to let Mina know just who was working on that deal, at least not yet. Since Angie came out as a vampire, her name was pretty well known in that circle, which meant Khione couldn’t be told about her either, since it wouldn’t be 100% that Genesis wouldn’t find out about her interactions with the vamps.

Which brought her to the other name brought up. [color=8a2cb5]“You would think Gennie would know well enough to not interrupt you when you are punching things. I mean, shit, they are starting to get really needy and annoying. Which Becky better not start doing. Already asking me to text her and shit. What kind of woman does she think I am?”[/color] She took a large bite of her donut to signify that she was done talking for now.

[color=fabade][b]“The addictive kind! She just can’t get enough.”[/b][/color] Mina teasingly giggled at her non-committal sister, as she sprawled herself on the sofa, all the while kicking off her shoes in the process. As she listened to their conversation, she contemplated watering the houseplants. Now or later. Now, or later.

Deciding to push it off till after her shower, she continued to listen to Nat and Khi. It intrigued her when they discussed Gennie, since really, Mina didn’t know who they were. Mapping the little things her roomates said about this mystery person up until now, just to create a whole person, was a fun game of hers. At least she’d like to think of this as a fun game, since she doubts she’ll ever meet ‘Gennie’. The person capable of breaking the peace of her closest companions — they must be a force to reckon with. Or maybe, Gennie was just misunderstood. She wouldn’t know though. All she knew was, they weren’t well liked. 

[color=fabade][b]“Also, Natty. Becky said your name like ten million times last night.”[/b][/color] Taking it upon herself to act out some of the dialogue from their previous night adventure, Mina decided to take both the role of Natalia and Becky: [color=fabade][b]“[i]Barbara?[/i] No I’m Becky! [i]Who are you again?[/i] I’m Becky! [i]Betty, you say?[/i] Becky! Mina, can you tell her my name? I don’t think she can hear me! I’M BECKY.”[/b][/color] Mina ended her display with a dramatic, lost-all-hope sigh. Silly, sister. It was obvious Natalia didn’t care about learning the poor girl’s name, and Becky probably still blames the loud music. RIP love.  

Natalia took another sip of coffee. [color=8a2cb5]“And I still got her home. I am so good, it’s scary sometimes.”[/color]

Grinning to herself, bringing her cup to her lush lips, Mina couldn’t hold back a smile. [color=fabade][b]“Well aside from the inevitable heartbreak of your one-time lover, tonight sounds like a big night for us. We’ll need to really wow the crowd.”[/b][/color] Her soft gaze went from Nat to Khi, before asking with hope, [color=fabade][b]“You’ll come, won’t you?”[/b][/color] Waiting patiently for their response, she took a much needed, refreshing sip. Passion fruit tea. Her favorite. 

Khione had been struggling to open the letter using a single hand (putting down the coffee wasn’t an option), but when she finally pried it open there was an instant regret that followed. The font was a swirling show of craftsmanship that carried the weight of secrets this [i]Alexander[/i] shouldn’t have known. Though the mention of Comfort had the short-tempered huntress crumpling the thick parchment in her hand, a slight tremor along her arms the only indication of her seething anger. Whoever this Alexander was, knew exactly how to play this game. Relaxing her grip around the paper she turned her attention onto the end of conversation around her and pursed her lips in thought for a moment.

[color=ec3b83][b]“I have to meet Leo at Envy tonight, but if it goes well I shouldn’t be there for long. I won’t make any promises but I’ll definitely try my hardest.”[/b][/color] The two of them had been acquainted with different sides of the same man, the charm and charisma was saved for civilians like Mina, while Nat had seen first hand the type of man Leone [b]’Set’[/b] Deveraux really was. Khione gave a quick smile to Mina, [color=ec3b83][b] “if I don’t make it I know you’ll be killing it anyways. I need to shower and get ready for my [i]busy[/i] day. I’ll catch you later Mims, thanks for the food-”[/b][/color] finally snatching up the banana nut bread with the same hand still clasping to the letter shuffling past the girls to the stairs, [color=ec3b83][b] “I need to talk to you about your [i]training[/i] later Nat. Have fun at work Mina!”[/b][/color]. Khione disappeared up the stairs the smile from before dropping into a stern frown as the screen of her phone lit up vibrating thrice with three different text notifications but she only paid attention to one.

Nat raised an eyebrow as Khi retreated to her room. She knew the training was a step up a little lately, but she thought she was doing all right enough with it all. Whatever, it was something that could be addressed tomorrow. Tonight, as Mina said, it was all about the show. [color=8a2cb5]“So yeah, we’re on, but we gotta just treat tonight like any other night, Mina. Just do our thing, kick the shit out of Amnesia like we know how to do, and this should be a lock. So, yeah, no pressure.”[/color]

[color=fabade][b]“We’ll kill it, sissy. We always do.”[/b][/color] After placing her drink on the coffee table, Mina stood up and made her way to the Euphorbia Milii, also known as the Crown of Thrones, which was staged right by the cart that held her supplies, as well as the brightest, sunniest window. It craved sunlight. She gently checked on the leaves and then reached for her plant mister. As she faced the gorgeous plant, her mouth opened to ask a question, but it only took her a millisecond to decide against it. Part of her was curious about what Khi and Nat did on a day-to-day basis, but if they didn’t want to go in great detail, there was a reason behind that. 

[color=fabade][b]“Today is going to be a good day.”[/b][/color]
