"No, I've had much worse."

"Nope. Lies. Worrying about me is always a bad idea."

2015-09-07 02:40:50

🌀

"I'm not lying. You need someone to worry about you."

2015-09-07 02:43:22

●

"Yeah, just me though. No one else."

2015-09-07 02:43:51

"You made it very clear that you don't worry about yourself."

2015-09-07 02:44:52

"....Can we pretend I worry about myself?"

"I'm afraid not."

The next day, I decided what better time than the present to introduce Ivory to Anndrea. Of course, I also desperately wanted to get away from Tassek, who had been even more angry with me today, mostly because of Ivory and because I'd had some of his coffee. It tasted terrible, but I wasn't so tired. I was avoiding him. As much as I could. I'd thought it was bad when he pulled a feather, but he'd actually grabbed and pulled my wings. He really didn't give a single damn for my well-being, to the point where he would actively hurt me without caring, and that scared me. However, when I tried to leave for Ivory's, he grabbed me. By the arm, thankfully. "Where're you going?" "......out. Goodbye." "No. Where. Are. You. Going?" "/Out/. Leave me alone." "No, I've been paying for your rent and food for three months now, either get the fuck back to work or answer my questions." "FINE. I'm going to get Ivory. Happy? Now let go." "Oh Christ, you're not taking her on a date are you?" "Watch your /language/, and no, I'm actually taking her to meet Anndrea, so that wouldn't end well anyways." "So you're saying you would." "Tassek, either you let go of my arm right now or I'm using my new knife on your hair." "/Don't you threaten me you little bitch./ I'm going too. I haven't seen Terezi for a while." "Because she doesn't want to talk to an arse," I mumbled, and he punched my arm hard, then walked off to get his shoes. I left without waiting for him. If I was lucky he'd skip Ivory's entirely and just go straight to Terezi's. That wasn't the case. He caught up and followed a ways behind me until we arrived at the shop. I moved inside and hoped he'd wait outside. Again, that wasn't the case. "Hey Lance," he said as he entered.

Ivory looked up from her sitting position on the counter. There was...Tassek, and Seculus. Oh Good. She would't have to murder everyone in this entire damn store. Clarenz offered to help Lance out today, who were both putting dresses on the the racks. No. She did not want to help. She wanted to stay as far away from them as possible. "Oh. Hi!" Lance greeted. "Terezi not with you?"

Kinsley glanced up, then returned to methodically inserting hangers into dresses. "Nah. But we're headed over there." ".....yes. We." Unfortunately. "Ivory, I believe I offered to introduce you to people...would you like to meet Anndrea?" Tassek went over to where the two men where and looked at Clarenz. "Who's the new guy?"

2015-09-07 03:22:01

●

Ivory's facial expression looked like Seculus just asked her if she wanted every trouble of hers wished away. "Yes. Please. Now? That would be lovely." Get her out of here.

Clarenz looked from the on of the dresses to...Tassek. Yes, this was Tassek. "I'm Clarnez. Ivory's...angel."

2015-09-07 03:27:38

🌀

I blinked in surprise. Well, the enthusiasm is appreciated. "...alright. That was the plan." I gestured to Tassek, who was gazing at Clarenz skeptically, and said more quietly "He, however, was not. Sorry about that." "She has an angel?" I shot him a look of death that he didn't notice.

2015-09-07 03:31:20

●

"Ah forget about-" Oh. Well then. She looked over to the gaggle of men. "/Yes/, Tassek. I have angel."

Clarenz nervously adjusted his glasses. Please don't fight him. "I uhm....became human a bit after her birthday."

2015-09-07 03:33:33

🌀

"Well, how was I supposed to know. Happy birthday then." "It was your birthday? Oh dear..." "So how'd it happen?"

2015-09-07 03:40:25

●

"It was February tenth, Thank you though."

Clarenz paused, then looked over to Seculus. Uhhh. He looked back to Tassek. "Uhm...it's a long story."

2015-09-07 03:47:11

🌀

I frowned. "Not really. He shouted at everyone, said several things he shouldn't have, and made Ren and Brielle both cry." "Woah. I didn't even know that was possible." "Well, he's..../special that way/."

2015-09-07 03:56:50

●

"I'm not...special..I'm just-" Clarenz was cut off by Ivory.

"Finally deciding to fully fuck me over? Yeah, thanks for that."

"...No."

2015-09-07 03:58:29

🌀

"That just sucks. Why is he still here?"

2015-09-07 04:06:17

●

She didn't say anything, just gestured to Lance.

2015-09-07 04:06:57

🌀

He looked at Lance. "Come on. Why would you keep him around?" "The same reason you keep me around, I suppose," I spat bitterly. "He works."

2015-09-07 04:08:16

●

A smiled spread across Lance's face. "To help Ivory."

"Which will never happen."

"...It would if you'd let me."

"What, you finally realized how fucked up I am from you and you're feeling sorry for yourself? No thanks. I can become stable on my own, thank you."

2015-09-07 04:12:50

🌀

I didn't like where this conversation was going one bit. "I believe we should go now. You should stay here and talk to them instead." "Oh no, you're not ditching me that easily. I'm coming too." ".......fine. Ivory? Are you ready?"

2015-09-07 04:19:09

●

Ivory looked back to Seculus. "Yes. Lets go." She moved from the counter and to the door.

"Wait...Ivory...I don't think-"

"I don't give a /fuck/ about what you think Clarenz, Seculus, lets go. Now, please."

2015-09-07 04:21:28

🌀

"Alright." I held the door open for her, and, by association, Tassek. Then I followed them out and headed towards Terezi's apartment.

Terezi was the one who answered the door, as once again, Anndrea was, once again, baking. This time it was cookies. She seemed pleased that both Seculus and Tassek showed up, but slightly confused that Ivory was with them. Nonetheless, she let them inside.
