Ylva Theodulus:
Ylva was curled up on the top one of the tables drawing idly on her tablet. She was wearing booty shorts and a crop top. Her boots and jacket sitting on the seat of the table as she sits on the top.
There was a gentle fire crackling nearby with some Kebabs cooking on it. Half Vegetarian half Meat.
Asbolus:
Asbolus arrived promptly when they had arranged for the meeting, slipping through the main hollow gate with little fanfare...barring the strengthened Wyrd that came with him, at least. The Darkling was dressed casually in jeans, boots and a grey t-shirt, keen eyes scanning the hollow until he spotted Ylva. He offered the Courser a smile as he approached, eyeing the spread. "Good evening. Nice little spread you have going."
Ylva Theodulus:
Ylva waves first with tails and then eventually with her hand as she finishes the line she is working on.
"Heyo Asbolus. I thought we could do with a snack. Old times sake and all that."
She twists and sits up.
"How are you."
Asbolus:
"Indeed." He claimed a seat beside her, that supernatural grace on display as always.
"Doing well enough, all told. Been grasping with changes that came with a turning of the page of my personal story, as it were, but that's settled for the most part. Yourself?"
Ylva Theodulus:
Ylva tilts her head nodding. "I understand that. Ive had that own journey myself. Allot of broken plates."
There is a pause as she answers. "Ive been really good, the Center has been going well, taking a step back from the Escape and Klaire has moved into the Polycule house so I am very happy."
Asbolus:
"The Escape?" Cue a curious arch of the eyebrow, followed by a nod. "Klaire mentioned the move the last time I spoke with her, glad that it's going well."
Ylva Theodulus:
"My tattoo studio that I run with my Wife and my Jenny."
A happy nod. "It is. Its going very well."
Asbolus:
"Ah, I see. Never looked into getting anything done on that front, I'll admit." He smirked a touch, tapping at a spot under his collarbone. "Once was enough."
"Good to hear. Being closer to loved ones is always a boon."
Ylva Theodulus:
She tilts her head and nods. "Since. There?"
Another happy smile. "It is. Avery has been spending a lot of time at my Hollow and we are becoming close. Though that did lead to one awkward as shit conversation."
Asbolus:
"Indeed. A mark of being Chosen by Her. The thought of getting rid of it was there when I got back, but I see it now as a reminder of what I escaped successfully rather than Her ownership."
"Oh?" Another eyebrow arch. "Of what sort?"
Ylva Theodulus:
She nods her head, fingers tracing the multitude of tattoos across her body.
"They wanted to ask about Children and the idea of having them. This led to me learning that they didnt know how Pregnancy works. So. They have been sleeping with penises without knowing the possible side effects."
Asbolus:
Asbolus clearly wasn't expecting that, a look of surprise flitting across his features. "...ah hah. I see."
Ylva Theodulus:
She chuckles.
"They might have been horrified by the idea of how big a baby could grow inside of them."
Asbolus:
"Understandable. It's quite a shift in one's physiology, from what I know." He smirked a touch. "I'll admit that wasn't a topic that came up during my tutelage with them, but then again I haven't been with anyone like that in quite a while myself."
Ylva Theodulus:
Ylva nods her head, hand continuing to trace her tattoos. "It's not the first time that sex related stuff has come up. But. I kinda thought they understood more than they do."
She sighs slightly. "More annoyed that those that have slept with them didnt make sure they knew everything."
Asbolus:
"Right. To give Vincent the benefit of the doubt, I imagine he likely didn't know that Avery wasn't aware either. One can also hope the proper protection was in use, vampire or not."
Ylva Theodulus:
"I don't believe it was though he cant get them pregnant. He doesnt work like that."
She nods her head. "Thats. Fair."
Asbolus:
"While I may take issue with Vincent's brashness he does have a good heart, and he wouldn't cause Avery any undue harm if he has something to say about it."
Ylva Theodulus:
Ylva nods her head. "I would hope so. I just. I forget how little they know, from, before."
Asbolus:
"Very little, although some has come back over time. More of what happened there has come back as well, of course, which can throw things off balance if one isn't careful."
Ylva Theodulus:
"Yeah. Do you. Remember it all now? Your time there?"
Asbolus:
"Not everything, but a sizable portion of it. As someone with a rather keen memory having those holes always grated on me, but there are some things that I took part in that I wouldn't mind not remembering. Such is the way of things, though."
Ylva Theodulus:
Ylva nods. "I understand. I wish I could remember less to be honest."
Asbolus:
"I'd rather have that knowledge than not, as painful as it can be. It's a part of reclaiming the time we lost there, even if it wasn't pleasant."
Ylva Theodulus:
She shrugs. "My time there was so much longer than here. I hate how long those 12 Hours took."
Asbolus:
"I can imagine." He nodded quietly. "I was gone here for about five years, although I couldn't say how long it was There. Would say that it's at least that long, maybe twice that."
Ylva Theodulus:
She nods her head. "It was, two decades there. Maybe a little longer. All condensed into one night Iron side. It is interesting how our experiences can differ so much."
Asbolus:
"Indeed. There are some of us who were flung decades if not centuries in the future while others were gone for moments or hours like yourself. Even those of us in the same realm at the same time could end up escaping at different times, thanks to the vagaries of the journey back. Fascinating in its own way."
Ylva Theodulus:
"Fascinating is certainly a word for it."
She chuckles.
Asbolus:
"One of the kinder ones, true." He offered a small smirk. "Looking into that side of things is what drew me to making ties with the Autumn, I will admit. Winter has my heart, but the Mirror has its allure as well."
Ylva Theodulus:
"I chose Autumn to research but I am still not set that it is the right Court for me."
She shrugs. "Its been a short time since ive been back really."
Asbolus:
"True enough...eight months, give or take?" He nodded quietly. "There's nothing wrong in changing what Court you ally with as time goes on, though. What may be a good fit at the start can shift as you grow into yourself."
Ylva Theodulus:
She nods her head continuing to trace her tattoos.
"Maybe. Thanks though. For being my vent about Little Bird."
Asbolus:
"You're very welcome. It's always a pleasure to talk with you; we should make it happen more often."
Ylva Theodulus:
"We should. You should come by my Center some time. And my Hollow, its changed a lot since you were last there."
Though she stands. "But. I have a dinner date with Astrid that I should be getting to. Thanks."
