It was just, peculiar and that rarely was a good thing when you felt a bad gut feeling. A week at the manor might be a good idea for her, least it was safe to feel relaxed behind the walls, gates and layers of alarms. They could work something out during the week regarding the situation. Marlin would not turn Xia away when she needs help, fuck that. What was the point in having money and resources if you could not use them to help those close to you? Tapping out a quick message, they had talked a bit but appreciated Xia needed a little space to sort out her head. Things were a bit weird. Leaving a message once the office was quiet, plus she trusted the other pilots. Little nerves but her accent retaining its small chime that had been returning of late as things improved. Making a slightly bold suggestion but they had done things the wrong ways round. [i][color=f6989d]"Hey Cutie, missing you. Stupid network error lost your message for a bit. Your welcome here, I have work, but I'll make time and call in a few favours. We can make some good luck. Pack for a week or longer, if you want to stay longer, I have spare closet space. I mean it, time will be found if I have to strange the fates with there own loom to do it. Stay safe, please. Really, you're important. Its been a short time but your important to me, I'm worried, and I admit il feel happier when you have a week off at my place. Love you Cutie"[/color][/i] A worried Marinalia would be keeping a close eye on her phone, probably have to dig you her smartwatch she did not wear so much. Yeah definitely feel better knowing she did not miss a call right now. Where did that reaction come from? Yes, the family was loyal to a fault but Xia had ended up under the category without her noticing? Sipping her overly sweet coffee, she had this unknown thong from her grandfather to deal with. What venture caught his interest this time? [hr] [b]Victoria[/b] Hearing a faint tune in her handbag playing a Russain Tatu song for the moment. Vibrating away, she probably overreacted but after being hacked, hormones and her maybe volatile personality... Not crazy, just a little highly strung. Yeah. Highly strung. How did she even react to that message? [i][color=6ecff6]"Your not only one with guy issues, too pretty for own good!"[/color][/i] Doing best to make light of it, might as well add a positive spin. [i][color=6ecff6]"Ryan, I was hacked, through multiple layers of advanced security, my intimate moments broadcast to the world and only one who could know had to be close somehow. Of course, I'm a bit overly worried! Sorry, thank-you, I'm just pretty stressed right now... Reluctant... Knocked up and changed up! Fine, there's issues ok, things are not happy Waltons world rights now. No Jim Bob changing the oil in dungarees whistling Dixie with a ring on his finger. Child, no twins thankfully, one is sufficiently challenging on its own. I do not send men to grab people. It's Sol, not Somalia and is not my dad. Asian place opposite the big yellow budda in heart sweet nacho hat. If you want to talk. Old man's Ramen shop. Purple dress, black coat, dark tights. If you want to talk, your choice... "[/color][/i] Wondering, changing. The dam burst and it all came out, lying her head on arms at the counter a second. [i][color=6ecff6]"Manami, where's Disney Princes when you need it?"[/color][/i] Cheesy, a bit creepy in some respects but hey, least Disney you found prince charming, kissed them and you had a charming prince. Perking up at the smell of delicious Ramen, savouring a spoon full of her soup and giving the old man an appreciative smile and generous tip[i][color=6ecff6]"Should stay gone for tonight though. Hey, its Sol mates, we can find you a cute guy if you want to make up for the jerk?"[/color][/i] Joking mostly, she did not get to tease Manami much so all in good Spirits. [i][color=c4df9b]"Let me know if he returns. He learns No quickly. Practice for Daughters too."[/color][/i] Isosef gave her a nod ordering a soft drink and keeping a lookout from a little further away to give the women some privacy. He worked the job, for one thing, money. The Romus Family had tested him well when he worked for them but his daughters would not know his upbringing, degrees, white-collar jobs and every chance to excel even if it meant some hefty sacrifices. [i][color=6ecff6]"Hot, you do look it though, you look great in casual too! I needed to get out of the house, and need no excuse to dress up a bit. Are you doing better? You were having a bad week when we met at the food festival?"[/color][/i] Happier with that distraction and her Raman dish, Victoria would remember this place the food was lovely. Talking with a friend over a bowl of Raman felt right, something vaguely normal in her life. Something Victoria really needed in the crazy times. Not wanting to dump on Manami too much, Ryan opened that door, she did not need to worry about all her problems when thr woman next to her had her own issues to handle. [i][color=6ecff6]"me, a little confused about someone but I'm managing. I ate fish sticks and custard earlier, so feel free to work out how not normal I am. What happened to me? Umm, I'm a bit boring compared to you, coffee, met up with my friend from Russia Dira, Grampa is in the about something, its just nice to spend an evening with a . oh, my old friend from Englands here for a short time, I missed him, not his bad jokes though!"[/color][/i] Ending with a smile, Victoria got a tad lonely in Sol at times, she had friends here for now and hopefully Manami would be in that category. [hr] The black 4x4 of Maxamilion Olympus breezed through the large security gates of the Old Sol airport and found a place next to a rather familiar white land rover he should recognise. Marinalia had beaten them here somehow... Though she did know the local area well. Hugging his oldest grandaughter as he walked in, Lucile watched gladly her boss would be in a good mood. [i][color=f6989d]"Grampa max, finally. I was getting worried. What is this, why we here?"[/color][/i] why indeed, while his idea might not be popular with his female family members. It was his risk to take, not theirs. [i][color=c4df9b]" You see Marlin, just trust me ok? Lucile, relax, we have time before they arrive I'm sure. Just sign a few papers, hand out copies. It's an easy one. Everyone already agreed. Just formalities. [/color][/i] She did worry about things, though that was kind of her job. Even so, this should be an easy one anyway. What could go wrong?
