She seemed benign, maybe even friendly, at least. ...wow, this entire ordeal has rendered me way too suspicious of others. "Seculus, a pleasure to meet you. How do you know Terezi?" Her name was also very...straightforward, to say the least.

"I'm someone who has been look for her for a while. Since I died, to be exact."

2015-07-23 08:01:14

🌀

"Is there any particular reason you look just like her, then?"

2015-07-23 08:04:27

●

"Well i would be concerned if she didn't look like the woman who gave birth to her."

2015-07-23 08:05:11

🌀

So it /was/!! "Oh, good heavens. Please, come in." I moved out of the doorway, thoughts swirling. Terezi's /mother/, really? Would she be happy to see her?

She stepped inside the apartment. "Thank you. I'm sure standing outside would only bring question to the neighbors."

2015-07-23 08:10:22

🌀

"They don't seem to care about much, fortunately. So, sit down, how did you come to be here...?"

"Well, until about...3 months ago I was in charge of a nineteen year old girl. One day she was out with friends, and went to a bar. Which, of course, was completely not my idea. Well, I noticed a man had slipped something into her drink, so I took over, and slapped him. Usually I am completely against possession, but this time an exception had to be made, and that's how I got out. I explained who I was to my charge, and she gave me some money to start a place one my own. I arrived in the state of New York about...Christmas time? That usually when people who steal are out, right? Well this man, when I refused to be given money, cut my throat with a dull knife and ran off. It was only a flesh wound, but it made me remember who I was. Soon, I ran into Daniel a few weeks ago while trying to find a job, and yesterday, Mr. and Ms. Paxaro."

I was nodding continuously as she spoke. So she'd died by beheading, or at the very least a slit throat. Considering her origins, she must have been a victim of the French Revolution. ....alright, so maybe I paid more attention in darling's history classes than darling himself, but was that really so wrong? "So you've met his parents, I assume they directed you here?"

2015-07-23 08:27:04

●

"Yes. They did. They told me him and Terezi were dating as well, is that correct?"

2015-07-23 08:29:05

🌀

"Yes, it is. They have been for some time." I was almost tempted to brag about how I contributed to this fact, but resisted. It was all their doing that they'd managed to stay together this long.

2015-07-23 08:31:22

●

"Really? How long? I've always seen boys fawn over Terezi but she never reciprocated." Oh yes, she was /that/ kind of mom. Not like it was a bad thing.

2015-07-23 08:37:35

🌀

".....more than a year now, collectively?" That was counting the six months she was away, but I wasn't sure it was a good idea to mention that to her mother. Boys fawned over her? ...well, that wasn't surprising.

2015-07-23 08:38:41

●

"I am impressed. I'm sure she'll happy to tell me this herself as well. You said she is back in her apartment?"

2015-07-23 08:40:46

🌀

"I'm sure she will. Yes, for a while she was staying here with myself and da....Tas--" As if summoned, the door swung open and Tassek came in, about to toss his backpack onto the couch when he saw Angeleq and froze. "Um, what?"

2015-07-23 08:42:41

●

Now that /certainly/ was the pride and joy of Mr. and Ms. Paxaro. He looked so much like his father. "It seems the old superstition of 'speak and thy will appear' has been proven right." She stood up and moved over Tassek. "Allow me to introduce myself." She held out her hand for a shake. "I am Angeleq Pyrope."

2015-07-23 08:45:43

🌀

His eyes grew wider and his fingers did the shaking for him as he took her hand. "I-I -- wow --" he stuttered out before he slumped over. I'd seen this coming and gotten up already, moving over to catch him.

2015-07-23 08:49:36

●

With confusion, she watched as Tassek passed out. "Have I broken him or does he do this often?" She asked, concerned.

2015-07-23 08:51:22

🌀

"It's a common occurrence, he has a...condition. He's alright, though." I moved him to the couch and took his backpack to his room.

2015-07-23 21:52:44

●

"Oh. He has always been like this? I assume that at least.Will he be out long?" She returned her hand to her side.

2015-07-23 21:54:48

🌀

"Yes and no. Well, probably not. He didn't sleep very well last night, so I'm tempted to leave him be, but I'm sure he'd like to actually meet you as well."

2015-07-23 21:55:47

●

"I would hope so, but I also do in fact need to see my daughter again."

2015-07-23 22:01:35

🌀

"....then he can wait a bit longer." I gave her a soft smile. "You go and see her. Do you need her address?"

2015-07-23 22:02:51

●

She nodded. " I do indeed."

2015-07-23 22:08:35

I gave her short directions to the building and the apartment number. Maybe this would get Terezi in a good mood. That would be nice to see.
