Ends and Beginnings (Nox’s Building)

[Elyse]

Elyse laughed and nodded at the mention of Ana. "That's a good idea. I'll send Ana a message. She's probably mad at me that I haven't checked in in awhile, but she will be a good help."

Elyse got out her wallet, sending Ana a text. Hey Ana. Sorry I've not checked in in awhile. Things have been really crazy. I'm living in Nox's building now, and it can use a little more of a decorative touch. Would you be interested in helping me? Love you, Elyse

While she was at it, she sent Hayden one too. Heya...just ended the relationship with Mae. We're going to stay friends at least. Might need to talk soon - I don't know yet. Depends on where my mood is after lunch. Bar open?

She put her wallet down and dipped a fry in ketchup before eating it and taking a sip of her water. Elyse felt like they should take things slow. Having lunch would be fine, then they could part ways for now. "Anna and I have been thinking about doing a routine together sometime soon. I'm really excited about trying something with her."

Mae Kawata (Mist)

Mae smiled "I'm glad you and Anna are connecting. I look forward to seeing your routine." They finished their lunch and Mae gave Elyse a smile and wave before heading home.

Sounds lovely. That boy needs some better taste, and a woman's touch.

[Hayden]

Not officially. But you are always welcome

[Elyse]

Mae left and Elyse began the walk to Hayden’s place. She responded to their texts.

Will be fun, Ana - will set a time soon. We have a lot to catch up on.

Then to Hayden I meant the metaphorical bar, you dolt! XD lll be there soon if you have time. If not we can talk later. I also have a girl that I think would benefit from talking to you. I’ve talked with her and her guardian and they are okay with it. I can tell you about it too.

[Hayden]

Already said any time sweet heart. I'm here.

[Elyse]

Elyse arrived at Hayden’s building and sent a message asking where he was. She didn’t just want to walking, upon his answer she found him and gave him a quick hug. Elyse had really enjoyed talking with him last time. The sex had been great too, but she had told herself it wasn’t he plan to take advantage of that. She wasn’t opposed to it, but today she wasn’t here for sex.

”Hey!” she said. ”Your advice was in line with what I thought I needed to do. I talked to Mae today, and we ended things. We’re both able to be friends. It feels a little awkward now, but that will go with time. Still hurts though. Hurts a lot. I’m just trying to tell myself I’m doing the right thing here.” she sighed. ”Really trying. But I wanted to touch base not just because of that. I have a friend who I think could benefit from talking to you. She’s thirteen and has lived a pretty traumatic life. She’s a good kid, sees a therapist weekly and has made a lot of progress, but well, she’s like me and can’t share everything with that therapist. I know you’re not one, but I think you could help her, and she’s willing to try. Is that something you’d be willing to do?”
