Klaire
Klaire was driving. She was a pretty decent driver, not wonderful, but better than many. Teleporting Rook left him miserable so she decided to only do that in emergencies, she was fine. So that meant the back seat of the car was COVERED in German shepherd floof.
Klaire often was as well, but that never bothered her. She seemed more excited than normal. "I hadn't realized Mages had that kind of ability. I know its not the same but its similar. Maybe it'll teach me some new things?"
Ylva:
Ylva having had a long day was curled up in the passenger seat. Absolutely in a not safe for driving way but eh.
She in theory had a seat belt on but did not look comfortable to anyone that didnt know she was in fact a fox.
There is a smile betrayed in her words. "Im glad it went well, I know you were nervous hun. I told you it was a good choice didnt I."
Klaire
Klaire had argued on the way to Maddy's about her sitting habits, but realized that sitting normally was uncomfortable and let it go. Cars were not made for foxes.
Klaire keeps her eyes on the road but motions with one hand. "I'm still nervous. But...well maybe I can learn something. If I'm stuck in a group anyway I might as well get the most out of it."
Ylva:
Ylva smiled enjoying the change in how she talked about her seating habits.
"I understand. I get nervous every time I see Guy. He was there when I, um, ate half a Vampire."
She squirms a little before continuing. Look there is a lot of fucking floof and tail and car seats not Mein sized.
"They can teach you so much. How to make it easier to get through the day, less overwhelmed."
A stray hand and a tail reach out to touch Klaires thigh.
Klaire
Klaire spares a half second glace at her partner.
"Guy was frightening, but he seems...well interested in joking? A bit on the quiet side. "
She takes a moment. "Are you talking about me or you, Ylva? I know a lot of things are hard on you now but...I want to help you too."
Ylva:
"Hes lovely just, memories and I dont have enough of those right now."
There is a pause and a chuckle.
"Yes?"
Klaire
Klaire nods. "Memories are hard sometimes, weird stuff never quite affects us right."
She puts a hand on Ylva's. "I'll be fine, I've dealt with people's thoughts for years. Its why I meditate each morning. I can start making you do it too if it helps you?"
Ylva:
"Too many memories for how old I am."
She squeezes that hand.
"Meditation helps. I'd like that. Need to figure out a good place in your house to head home."
Klaire
Klaire stays quiet for a bit.
"I've mostly stayed out of your head since you got back, but if you ever need me to help you process anything, I'm here for you love."
Klaire squeezes back the hand and lets go to begin changing lanes.
"We can meditate any morning you need. If you need to go...open doors or whatever for an hour, feel free. I want you to feel safe."
Ylva:
"I, uh, really liked the connection we had at Maddys. That was nice. Made me feel close."
She looks up a bit opening the window slightly.
"Id like that. I mostly need to find a safe way to your place. The closest place I know is a 4 or so mile walk."
Klaire
"The mind link? Its useful for stuff like that. Just keep in mind that if we do that with groups, every person can hear every message, sort of like a group chat. I will say Rook is quite hyper with it."
Klaire's head turns at the opening of the window, then back to the road.
"Im not sure how it works but feel free. Just like... don't show anyone else. I don't want random visitors from a place I can't affect."
Ylva:
"Yes? If thats what its called. I dunno just meant I could feel close to you. Mental group chat. Plus we can talk when im not feeling so human."
Klaire absolutely notices it was not opened with a hand and hey she can choose how to deal with that.
"Every door connects to somewhere on the other side, its mostly random. Some of them dont connect to nice places. My house for example has a door that leads to Astrid and mines en suite."
Klaire
"Its what I call it. Every person has to be willing and, to be honest, its sort of exhausting with any more than 3 or 4 people. Most of the time I hardly use it since...well...its usually just me and Rook. I guess that may be changing now but....still."
Klaire doesn't pay much attention to it, but dos file it away for later.
"If there are any...particularly nasty doors please let me know. In case someone like Vorpal wishes to use one of them."
Ylva:
"Okay. I like it when you use it on me."
There is a blush.
"I will file it down for later on the condition you do in fact not tell Vorpal its dangerous unless she goes to use it. Otherwise she will worry."
Klaire
Klaire smiles.
"I can use it more then. As for the doors....is there any way to block them off if they're bad? And well...what will stop Vorpal from worrying anyway if she tries to use one?"
Ylva:
Sinking further into her chair she smiles trying to hide her increasingly blushy face.
"Id like that." A bit of a pause. "Nothing really. She can be a bit of a worry about me ending up in situation where im going to do things that are bad for my brain."
Klaire
"Well...I'm worried about you doing that too. I don't know nearly enough so I'll leave it up to you for that side of things, but let me know if there's anything I can do to help."
Ylva:
"Thats" and she pauses hesitant in her words. "Fair."
There is a longer pause after that.
"I would appreciate some cuddles after the shit holes im sure some of them will put me in before I can find a good one."
Klaire
She nods.
"I can give cuddles. And hot chocolate, meditation, convincing Rook to snuggle with us as well." She spares a side eyed glance. "We may need to get treats for that. But whatever you need love."
Ylva:
"It depends how often I turn up as a Fox and or smelling like a Fox."
There is a happy little wiggle.
"I do like treats."
Klaire
Klaire gives a bemused smile. "Well you are a cute fox. We can get you and Rook some treats."
Ylva:
Another happy wiggle.
"I would like that."
Her head rises up a little as they get near to Klaires home.
"Do you want me to come in tonight?"
Klaire
Klaire keeps the bumused smile, waving to a neighbor as they turn into the neighborhood.
"Of course love. On one condition, you gotta help me walk Rook. He's going to be hyper after being alone."
Ylva:
"Okay. I can do that."
There is more happy wiggles as they reach home.
"We can do walks and then I can do a wander and we can do some cuddles."
