Lila
Calling for her friend's assistance was one thing but the events that transpired next were nothing Lila could have predicted. Sure, she had begged her friend to punch him, but the last thing she thought would happen was that Serena would actually dig through her purse for her oversized mess of house keys, and level a hard-punch, keys and all, against the moron who had been hassling her. The version of events that she expected involved some swift intervention on Eduardo's part and then celebratory bacon cheeseburgers afterward. Instead, Lila lowered the feathers and watched slack-jawed as the man stumbled to the ground. Realizing that this was reality and not a fictionalized version of events playing out in her mind, Lila's eyes widened as she grasped that Serena was coming toward her at a clip, pushing her on and telling her to drive.

Keys still in hand, thankfully not yet having lost her grip on them, Lila threw her purse and costume in the general direction of the passenger seat as she slid into her Ford Fiesta, music blaring as the engine came to life. "Here, hold my feathers," she said, using her now freed hands to buckle herself in and push the shifter into drive. Destination? Anywhere but here. She pulled out into the road before daring to look over at her friend, finally turning down the music so she could hear her. "Are you okay? How's your hand?"

Brock

It was a good thing he wasn't completely naked now wasn't it. Though now barefoot and shirtless. His left hand reached for his sword, he had planned on taking a shower so yes it was in the bathroom. Especially after the day like today and good thing too because now someone was in the house. He paused waiting a moment to listen to feel. There it was, the feeling of another highlander. He out his finger to his lips in a shhh motion. Then pointed for her to get beside hin, then he reached for her and gently moved her behind him as he made his way quietly and slowly out of the washroom.

Emmeline
She temporarily felt a flash of anger when he pushed her behind him. Did he not think she was capable? True - she was much newer at this than him but still. She moved to stand slightly behind and to the side of him, as they made their way out of the bathroom. That way she could cover both his side and back, although the odds of someone coming at them from the bathroom they had just exited was unlikely. Still, she knew never to let her guard down about things like this. She held up one finger then held up two, for him, asking if it was one or more people. She really wanted to know if it was the immortals he had run off earlier today. He had said there had been two of them. At least it would be an even fight.

Ash

Doing just as he says, she gathers some pens and gulps down the rest of her coffee. She was really going to the vault. She felt like this was a new stage for them of sorts. He was allowing her to do more things than originally been ruled out. Ashleigh did not miss any part of her surroundings. She paid close attention not wanting to miss anything.
"It's bigger on the inside"
She could not resist that. It had to be said. A pen at the ready poised above the paper.
" Ready"
She smiled.

Bigby
He put on a pair of thick rubber gloves and picked up the first item.
"Aladdin's lamp."
He said and started to walk with it to the other area of the room where the shelves were bare.
"Most of the items should be on the list and you just have to put a check mark, and right down any changes to the item, if there are any I'll tell you, and if there's any new items they will go at the bottom of the list."
The list was over 50 pages and he knew it might be daunting to her.
"It'll be nice not to have to do all the work myself."
He said with a small nod. But he was really thinking it would be nice not to be stuck all day in here by himself. The vault almost felt cage-like to him when he was in here all alone for extended periods. He knew he had the keys but when he couldn't come out until he was done - he could feel trapped.

Brock
He held up to fingers. There had been two left, that had run away. It's not that he didn't think she wasn't capable it's more that she was new and it was his job to teach and protect. Not just as a mentor but a lover. He made his way to the living room to see if it was clear. Sword ready. It was like law enforcement scene from a movie or show only with swords and they weren't the law, they were immortals and they had to take off heads or lise theirs.

AtomicEmpress · 05-14-2015, 11:06 PM

Emmeline
She walked with him looking in both directions. She heard a noise and froze. It was coming from back towards the bedroom. She pointed to alert him in case he hadn't heard it. They walked towards the bedroom and suddenly a man came running at them, he dove down and went between Brock's legs, then jumped up and ran into the living room, sword in hand. She turned and ran after him, when she made it to the living room there were not one but two men in fighting stance waiting for them. Emmeline waited for Brock to join her and questioned him,
"Which one do you want?"

TATE
As Elisa had come down to the ground with him, hugging him back, he'd only embraced her more. His little sister, his favorite human being, back in his arms. He had not felt so much himself in the last three years, but now... He had always considered himself tough, and brave, and any number of other things that went hand in hand with the choices he'd made, but everything that had led to his having to run, to fake his death, had revealed in him that there was such a thing as fear for him, and it wasn't the dark, or insects, or clowns. His fear was losing his sister, and now that he had her back, he'd finally been able to admit to it, to let out the monster that had been pressing on his lungs for three years. He could have just fallen asleep and slept a sound night for the first time in a very long time, but he had better things to do right now.

His eyes were still a mess, but better than they had been, and when he pulled back to look at her, he could almost see her clearly. She'd been crying, too, and he reached up clumsy trembling hands to wipe her tears away. "Sorry I ate all your cereal," was the first thing he could think of, and seeing her sort of smile was the best thing to happen all day. "And even..." he breathed out, finding himself more worn out than he'd expected, "Even though my face is killing me right now, I'm glad you have that thing on you and you're not scared to use it." He knew they should have been talking about the elephant in the room, his having been gone, the way he'd been gone, but he was feeling a spark of happiness and he couldn't let it go. "Tell me about... what you've been up to, I... I want to know about how you've been," his hands kept reaching for her arms, her face, anything to keep the contact real, like he might wake up back in his crappy apartment far across the country otherwise. "Are you... seeing anyone, or..." he tried to look at her hands to see if she had a ring. A lot could have happened in three years.

SERENA
She was being knocked back and forth as Lila peeled out of the lot, driving like a maniac, and she didn't care. She had her mangled hand cradled in the other, a string of curses spewing endlessly from her lips. "There, just go in there, I need ice, something!" she called, pointing to the gas station. Lila did as told, jumped out of the car, went for the ice and came back a minute later. Serena grabbed it and jumped when it first touched her cradled hand. Lila was already driving off from the gas station, and Serena sincerely hoped they were still headed to the diner. Pain or no, she was starving, and with the rush of everything that had happened before, she could have eaten a whole cow.

Slowly, eventually, the ice had started to work its magic and allowed her to calm down. Lila still looked on hedge. "So why did I have to punch that guy?" Serena asked her, to get her talking.

Sydney Jordan
She found herself practicing late again. Despite the fact that the 2014-2015 season had concluded the previous weekend, Sydney trained the same as she had when she was preparing for Giselle earlier in the month. Many of the dancers at the American Ballet Theater had been encouraged to take a holiday to recuperate from six months of rigorous training but the soloists and prima ballerinas often stayed behind. Sydney had relented, promising her dance instructors she would at least take a three day weekend to rest up but it was already off to a late start. She lingered behind to work on the choreography of a new contemporary dance she would be performing in the next couple of weeks.

The wooden panels were cool beneath her feet as she lifted a foot to the barre at the far end of the room, stretching the muscles in her legs as she visualized the steps she had been practicing for the better part of an hour. Rogue strands of dark hair escaped the lazy bun pinned to her head, the shortest strands pinned down at the side of her face and back of her neck by a thin sheen of perspiration. She ignored the mess of her hair as she peered at herself in the mirror, gently rolling her neck from side to side before her tired legs carried her across the room to where an iPod sat in a music dock.

She hit play, before idly moving to the center of the room as a sultry voice began to croon in her ear. Walking through the city streets, is it by mistake or design? Sydney Jordan listened to the music intently, letting it flow through her as she performed idle demi détournés and pirouettes while moving to her mark on the floor just as the portion of the song she had been practicing started up.

I feel so alone on the Friday nights
Can you make it feel like home, if I tell you you’re mine?
It’s like I told you honey

Somewhere between the moment she was on her feet to the moment she found herself on her back, she became aware of another presence in the room. Sydney was no stranger to withering around on the floor as people watched her, but generally her audience consisted of more than the one person who had entered the studio. She continued dancing, only seeing the reflection of Christian Jenkins in the wall length mirror as she pivoted on her hip and found her way back to her feet. Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry. Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough, I don’t know why. Her eyes locked with his in the mirror and she noted the briefcase at his side. Something told her it was even later than she thought.

Pausing in her movement, she moved to the far end of the room while smoothing out the wrinkles in the wrap skirt at her hip and pulling the sheer material over her thighs. After lowering the volume on the music, she turned back around to face her intruder. “What time is it? It can’t be that late already, can it?”

Ash
It was a lot of pages,yes, but the young blonde was used to hard work and long hours. There were times where she had barely able to take naps. (Not by her choosing, obviously). Her step family kept her on her toes and forced to work her fingers to the bone. Today's work might be long hours and tedious but she'd be with Bigby and she would take all the time she could get with him. She checked Aladdin's lamp on the check list.
" Happy to help"
She knew what it was like to be stuck somewhere small by one's self . Not fun. But she would always sing and she had GusGus but talking to mice and singing didn't seem like a Bigby thing. She almost chuckled at her thought. And after some time checking things off and writting she began to hum a happy tune.
