Ylva Theodulus:
Ylva has been worried about Klaire and so today that meant seeking it Jay. That did give her an excuse for basic bitch coffee.
She was sitting in a corner booth bundled up in a heavy coat and scarf her legs wiggling happily under the table.
Her hair was flowing around her head and neck often getting fiddled with. A happy smile on her face at the wiggles to the music.
Jeremiah Hamilton:
Soon enough the master of the house emerged from the door labeled OFFICE near the front of the cafe, relieved of the burden of paperwork for another day. Spotting Ylva he perked up a bit and headed her way, offering her a bright smile. "Hey. Thanks for coming by. How are you doing?"
Ylva Theodulus:
"I'm doing pretty good honestly."
She smiles and waves happily.
"How are you?"
Jeremiah Hamilton:
"Doing pretty well, can't complain." He made a "mind if I join you?" motion with his hand, waiting for her all-clear before taking a seat. As he got settled she might notice a new bit of hardware on his hand, a slim band of gold and brass swirled together into a rather striking whole.
Ylva Theodulus:
She nods giving him the all clear and looking towards the band.
"Congratulations are in order it appears."
Jeremiah Hamilton:
"Why thank you." He glanced down to the band with a smile. "Polly and I made it official official last month."
Ylva Theodulus:
"Oh."
She says with a chuckle.
"I didn't realize you were with Polly. Even more so then."
Jeremiah Hamilton:
"Mmhmm. Will be three years in June." He smirked. "I think I mentioned it once but that was a bit back."
Ylva Theodulus:
"Well. It has been a stressful few months. My apologies."
Jeremiah Hamilton:
"No need to apologize. I know you've been dealing with a lot. I heard you were able to talk with your others partners recently, too?"
Ylva Theodulus:
"Yes! It's been a little awkward but good. Glad to be home."
Her smile is beaming as she speaks of them.
Jeremiah Hamilton:
"Good! Glad to hear it." He nodded with a smile. "If there's anything you and yours need a hand with do let me know."
Ylva Theodulus:
She runs her hand through her hair.
"Well, I'll admit, I did come here for a purpose."
Jeremiah Hamilton:
Jeremiah glanced down to his pocket as his phone chirped, although he left it be for the moment as he looked Ylva over. "Oh? What's up?"
Ylva Theodulus:
"I'm. I'm worried about Klaire. She's not eating, barely sleeping."
Another look down.
"I think she is developing an eating disorder. But. I'm not an expert. You seem insightful. And she trusts you."
Jeremiah Hamilton:
His eyebrows shot upwards at that, pieces falling into place from his more recent conversations with the psychic. "That...would explain some things. I noticed she wasn't doing all that well the last time we talked but she was resistant to talk about it."
Ylva Theodulus:
"I had to push to get to it. Plus I have the extra information of living with her."
She nods.
"She was barely able to finish a kids bowl of soup the other day without feeling like shit."
Jeremiah Hamilton:
He nodded quietly, the gears turning in the back of his mind. "She's been going through it lately herself, I know. Lot of stress after the riot and butting heads with people she didn't expect to."
"She asked me if I knew any psychiatrists among our community., and I offered to look into it. Haven't had any bites yet but once I find someone I'll pass it on."
Ylva Theodulus:
"Thanks. I know a few on my side but. I'm just worried."
Jeremiah Hamilton:
"Understandable. I was definitely concerned when I saw her last." He offered her a hand in support. "I know I could probably help but she's understandably hesitant to get prodded at that way, so maybe doing things the more normal way will be better for her."
Ylva Theodulus:
She nods squeezing the hand.
"Yeah. She is sick of that prodding."
A sigh and a nod.
"Thanks for your help Jay. I better get going I've got an appointment at work. I'm working. Oh my God."
Jeremiah Hamilton:
"You're welcome, and congrats." He squeezed her hand in return, smiling warmly. "I've got another tattoo idea rolling around, I'll definitely hit you up when I've got it finalized."
Ylva Theodulus:
"Thanks Jay."
She says standing and dropping a bill on the table inclusive of a generous tip.
"Have a good day."
