NEW SCENE
Ylva Theodulus
Ylva has been spending frankly far too much at the Freehold hollow but its easy here.
Tonight she was laying on one of the tables idly chewing at her kebabs that she made.
Tails and feet wiggling happily in the air.
She is wearing a far too short skirt, fishnets, knee high boots and a leather bomber jacket.
Ella Widener
Ella makes her way into the hollow, it'd been a little bit since she'd been back but that was alright. She was wearing a black leather coat over a white shirt with blue jeans and black leather boots. What little visible flesh of the polychromatic was simply cycling through colors as was the woman's hair, the two were almost completely in sync with each other. She looks around the room and her eyes eventually land on Ylva. She offers a smile and walks over to take a seat nearby. Silent for the moment.
Ylva Theodulus
Ylva waves with a few tails and eventually a hand. Smiling the whole time. But letting her sit if that is what she needs.
Ella Widener
"Good morning. I don't think I've met you before, if I have my most sincerest of apologies. I've seen a lot of new faces of the past couple weeks. I'm Ella Widener, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Ylva Theodulus
"Nice to meet you Ella. I domt think we've met. You can call me Ylva."
With that she rolls over to sit on the side of the table. The practice of someone that jd very used to that length of clothes.
"Its nice to meet you. Would you like a kebab. I've got meat and vegetarian."
Ella Widener
"Well that makes this significantly less awkward then doesn't it?"
-a small chuckle, the colors seem to shift to a slightly lighter palette than they previously were-
"Ylva. I will commit it to my memory, it's nice to put a name to a face. I suppose it might be considered impolite not to accept so I will take you up on your offer."
-she extends a hand to take a kebab-
Ylva Theodulus
There is a smile at that then a sigh.
"Well not the best way to be famous."
She says with a chuckle grabbing her own Kebab as she slides the plate over to Ella.
Ella Widener
-She reaches out to take the plate before grabbing one of the aforementioned kebabs and turning it over before her eyes a moment, then glances back toward Ylva-
"Now what could you mean by that exactly?" -she inquires curiously-
Ylva Theodulus
"Sorry. I assumed you knew my name based on the recent news broadcast."
A blush as she flattens her ears to her head.
Ella Widener
"Would you prefer that I did and have an opinion of you already formed in my mind or would you rather imprint one there yourself personally?"
- she cants her head to the side ever so slightly but chuckles before taking a bite-
Ylva Theodulus
There is a tilt of her head at that. Canine questioning.
"I think I'd prefer you to make one of me not. Have ome already formed. But that is. Hard for me."
Ella Widener
"I tend to form opinions of others once I've met and interacted with them. Rumors can be awfully unreliable at times as I'm sure you're aware. So this interaction right here right now will be me forming my first impression of you. Just as its no doubly you forming your first of me. Why is it hard for you?"
(no doubly = undoubtedly)
Ylva Theodulus
"Making friends has been hard since getting back from Arcadia."
She looks down at her hands.
"My kith and lack of self control caused many issues."
Ella Widener
"Perhaps that's why I was drawn here, you did seem like you were in some kind of pain. But that's not for me to uncover, it's your's to disclose to someone you feel comfortable around. I'm always happy to make new friends."
Ylva Theodulus
"New friends is nice."
She nods.
"I am im significantly less pain than I was. Just. Working on mending broken or damaged bonds."
Ella Widener
"A very true statement."
-followed by a brief thoughtful pause-
"The mending of bonds can be a long journey. As much as we hate to hear it, most often than not time is truly a contributing factor in such matters. But that does of course depend on the severity of the damaged bond."
Ylva Theodulus
"Im hoping they are repairable. Some of them we have just been unable to see each other so that should be easier."
Then a shake of her head as she finishes her kebab grabbing another.
"I didn't mean to burden my new friend with my worries. Apologies."
Ella Widener
"I assure you that you are hardly bothering me. I consider this type of work to be apart of my passion. Offering what aid I can to others brings me joy so if speaking of your troubles will help to unburden some of them than I consider our interaction to have been more fruitful than normal. After all, friends share things with each other anyways." -she takes a bite-
Ylva Theodulus
"Can I ask you a question then?"
She asks with a tilted head.
Ella Widener
"Certainly."
Ylva Theodulus
"How do I apologize for not accepting a dear friends help? Besides of course taking that advise which im working on."
Ella Widener
"Would you be willing to share more details, even vague ones? It would help me give better advice."
Ylva Theodulus
"She asked me how I was going to change after. Hurting. Killing. Someone."
A pause and a deep swallow.
"Who i would become. What i would do to make it up to them. What life i would live to make them proud. I dodged the question and said I didn't know how. When in reality I wasn't ready to swallow my pride and admit how badly I fucked up."
Ella Widener
"I think in a way you just answered your own question. However I'll put it into better context if it helps. Without knowing this person, I would imagine that admitting that would begin to repair any damage done between the two of you. I'm sure there are a lot of other details here that I don't need to be fully privy to. But I think that perhaps you should start there. Does that make sense?"
Ylva Theodulus
"It does yeah."
Then she looks down at her hands.
"I've painted her a painting to go with it. Is that too much ?"
Ella Widener
"No. I think it's kind and might help more, it shows that you put thought into it."
Ylva Theodulus
"I appreciate your help thanks."
Ella Widener
"I'm happy to help, Ylva. I hope that things work out between the two of you."
Ylva Theodulus
"Thanks. I don't want to keep you if its late. I know I have odd sleep hours."
Ella Widener
"I've still got some fire left in me, you needn't worry about me getting tired. Besides, I would be certain to inform you if that were the case. If there is anything else that you wish to discuss with me, I'm happy to continue."
Ylva Theodulus
"Oh I have plenty on my mind. The question is if I can put it into words accurately"
She thinks for a moment before speaking.
"What do I tell my wife regarding the investigation?"
Ella Widener
"Ah relationship questions. These are tricky as you know your wife better than I do, significantly. So I'm afraid I'll have to ask you questions and have you answer them to get answers."
-She sits up a little bit more straight in her seat-
"Is your relationship an honest one where you tell each other everything?"
Ylva Theodulus
She nods. Then sighs.
"It is. And I think that is the basis of my problem."
Ella Widener
"It certainly would be if your significant other was the individual who was investigating you. Is that the case here?"
Ylva Theodulus
"No. She is wanted for questioning aswell."
Then she looks up at the sky.
"I have been lying to her since I got back from Arcadia. I haven't told her anything. I know I can't."
Ella Widener
"Well I'm afraid I can offer nothing but advice. I am not a legal consultant, I'm a singer."
Ylva Theodulus
"I know. Its not legal advice im after. There isn't really a legal defense for that fact I did eat him."
She cuts off at that looking away awkwardly.
Ella Widener
"This is the part where I'm supposed to judge you harshly, right? I'm sorry. That's not who I am, there are still pieces missing here that could account for why that happened. It's possible you lost control of yourself and that's what led to that moment."
Ella Widener
"Its what I expect. Not of those around me but of myself."
She sighs again.
"It was the day I got back from Arcadia. I went into work. Thought it was all just a bad dream. He was my first client."
Ella Widener
"It is all too common that we do not seamlessly return here without some amount of scaring. These are . . . sad facts and I'm sorry that such a thing happened to you and this individual."
Ylva Theodulus
"So am I. I can't undo what is done just look forward. Its more how do I explain that to my two very human partners. My third partner is a sleepwalker so knows some of the details but they don't."
She flops back on the table looking up.
"Ughghh."
Ella Widener
"Umm . . . informing human partners about our issues is an extremely difficult thing to do. I admit that I would have to think on that quite some time before even attempting to do it."
Ylva Theodulus
"It is not that I want to tell them. I would love to not tell them. Its a question of what do I tell them if not the truth. Why have I been absent for 5 months. Why didn't I turn up to police summons."
Ella Widener
"That sounds like the kind of issue that might best be solved with a little help from behind the scenes. Some times it's wisest to "fudge" a few books to keep our secret."
Ylva Theodulus
"And that is my problem. My fear. Lying to them. They helped me get clean and we promised to never lie to each other. But now I have to. I understand that I have to. But. It still feels wrong."
Ella Widener
"Lying to people you love is never an easy thing to do and it can often be the wrong thing to do. Though this really feels like one of those times where its best to make sure that they're safe just like you are."
Ylva Theodulus
She nods.
"I know. It doesn't make it feel any less wrong though. Doesn't make it feel less like a betrayel."
Ella Widener
"I'm afraid I can't help with that too much. You feel how you feel, I can only try and help you through those feelings once you've experienced them."
Ylva Theodulus
"I appreciate that. Really."
She sits up grabbing another Kebab.
"Not asking you to solve my problems. I know the path. Just gotta build up the courage."
Ella Widener
"And I can check in on you every so often just to make certain if you like."
-She offers with a smile-
"Do you have any plans to fix the situation at the moment?"
Ylva Theodulus
"Id appreciate that."
She nods.
"I don't. But there are smarter people than I working on it."
Ella Widener
"Well that's reassuring to hear, there might be some things I could do but I would have to handle it a bit more discretely. Especially considering the circumstances."
Ylva Theodulus
"One of them is winter. The other. A. Friend. The other my sleepwalker lover."
Ella Widener
"Then perhaps I shouldn't put my hand in that cookie jar, there seem to be three already there."
Ylva Theodulus
"I dunno. Cookies are yummy."
She adds with a chuckle.
"Now I want cookies."
Ella Widener
"Cookies are delicious, hands . . . not so much. Alas, I didn't bring any cookies, it wasn't something that occurred to me when I came here this morning."
Ylva Theodulus
"That is a fair point. Hands are. Well. Let's leave it at that."
She looks away a sigh.
"I'll make sure to bring cookies next time."
Ella Widener
"I enjoy hosting parties at my home and often do catering for such events, many of them are extended solely to people in the know. So if you can manage to clear things up on your end you would be welcomed at my home."
Ylva Theodulus
"I appreciate that. I'll make sure to make all the kinds of cookies."
[6:39 AM]
"Once I can leave the hedge."
Ella Widener
"Well I do hope that day comes soon."
Ylva Theodulus
"Thanks for talking. I think its time for me to head home. As it were."
(Thanks for hanging out. Not sure what else to say)
Ella Widener
"You have a wonderful morning as well, I have a few places to stop by on my way home. Safe travels to you."
(Thanks for the scene, I was going to wrap it up there because it's almost 7am for me)
