ooc/ XD I've always found kids like doing everything BUT what you'd expect them to. Buy them some fancy toy and NOPE they want that random thing in the corner. I figured Lillian would be that type. Totally spoiled yet still able to get into mischief. Plus, it'd get her parents attention. She'd be feeling pretty lonely with Leo getting a lot of attention! She is Daddy's little girl... lol
I have been thinking about Envy's side project for Gavalion. Where did we want that to go? I've been reading backwards in the rp but I never quite settled on exactly what Gavalion was looking for. XD What's their end goal?
bic/
Raechelle graciously took his hand and got up, ready for whatever adventure they were about to partake in. Well, maybe not exactly right now. She had two different socks and two different shoes on, and that was beyond her limit. She was fine with two socks that didn't match, but the two shoes was a little too wild for her standards. One of the two little devils probably hid the matching ones... At least she had a couple matching pairs hidden in her closet where they were safe from little hands. She knew her children too well...
"I can't imagine you caring a lot about your appearance. And, I don't mean that in a bad way, I promise!" The sentence came out of her mouth before she could even think about it. It did sound rude, but it felt true. He wouldn't wear hoodies all the time if he cared about being the prettiest in a room. She always threw that characteristic more towards Sandon than Gavalion. That being said, it wasn't that Gavalion looked bad. She thought he looked fine, but he was no fashionista. It was probably better that way, since she'd rather steal the spotlight when she got the opportunity to dress him. "Just don't tell Lillian we're going to be playing dress-up. She'll be heartbroken to hear that I stole her thunder!"
She already had a good idea of the different types of clothes she wanted to get him to try on. A few different styles, just for fun! The idea of dressing Gavalion sounded exciting, but she knew he wouldn't be wanting to stay for hours on end. If they dabbled in a few different styles like dressy, business casual and maybe something a little more laid back, then they could pick out some similar sizes and be on their way. Along the way she'd absolutely tease him and try to make him a little runway star, but that was expected!
The one thing that did catch her and send her into her own thoughts was Envy's comment. A spark in his life? That sounded like her therapist back in the day... While it was tempting to ask what was going on behind closed doors she also knew prying wasn't going to get her very far with him. If he wanted to keep his secrets then he'd just do it. Just because she was forthcoming to try to hold onto him didn't mean it worked the same way the other way around. So, she decided to file that away for later and instead try to tease him just a little bit more. It was fun, and they were in a good spot right now so she was taking advantage of it!
"Give me three weeks and I'll give you a little spark," she teased, wiggling her eyebrows at him. "That didn't sound as good out loud as it did in my head," she admitted after a few moments, laughing at herself. Half of the laughing was because of how dumb her comment was and the other half because she didn't even think she was serious.
"Are you hiding money on me? I've been working hard all hours of the day and my husband is secretly rich?" she gasped playfully. "What underground gig have you been doing that I don't know about? Should I be worried or should I join you?"
They weren't struggling, but Raechelle did find the lack of freedom a lot more concerning. She had done her best to secure as much as she could out of the Myssett's before they disappeared. Half of the baby shower gifts she hoarded she sold since she honestly didn't need them or figured they were too expensive and would be destroyed by her children either way. Now, she felt a little more nervous which didn't help with every other aspect of her life she had to deal with. In her current circumstances, she literally had to think about being an adult and it was awful. Before, there was a back-up plan and now they were just gone. It was better this way, but slightly terrifying. It was one of many things she didn't bring up to Gavalion. Things were going way too good to bring that up now! Her treading water had been so graceful and spectacular, she didn't want to just cannon ball in and create chaos.

// Aw. Poor Lilly. Gav tries…I think. I was binge reading a manga called Spy x Family by Endo Tatsuya, and I got major Gav vibes with the main character just kinda being roped into having a family and the daughter being a total Lilly with her sweet-hearted, trouble-maker nature. There was one chapter where the main protag was trying to teach his daughter math, and the frustration was what I totally imagined what Gav would feel. xD; Like there’s this sequence (manga is read from right to left in case you didn’t know) where the protag falls asleep and his daughter snuggles up to sleep next to him. drive.google.com/file/d/1gAzywiZBRrtsa8t3qp5vha_q2zvtIJs0/viewdrive.google.com/file/d/1Be4pRwkRJXZD4PW4fcwOJX8REMiV67qu/viewThe wife’s passion to keeping the daughter safe basically gave me Raech vibes if she ever became a vampire. xD; Anyway in regards to our story and Envy’s side project, Gav just wants to get high. 💀 It’d be great if he could slip in and out of euphoria on will, but he really just wants to go on a trip. lol // Gavalion smiled at her comment. Her imagination wasn’t failing her. In his perfect world, he’d have a week’s worth of the same clothing. That world didn’t exist, so he made do with wearing hoodies and ballcaps. Now he was a father of two who had to keep up daily appearances else he’d be the new topic of discussion among the chatty parents. The last thing he wanted was Lillian getting embarrassed for his failure to dress his age. Besides, with Antoine out the picture, she may be craving another well-clad plaything. He wasn’t planning to adopt a punk theme anytime soon. Only Antoine seemed capable of pulling that off. “Your secret’s safe with me,” he grinned, knowing Lillian would have appreciated giving some input. They could wait for tomorrow since Lilly wouldn’t have to attend daycare, but he would feel bad leaving Nikki with the spawn all day. Gavalion tilted his head in confusion as he tried to decrypt what Raechelle meant by a little spark. Something that could be done after she recovered? There were talks about a family ball a few weeks back. Was she possibly referring to that? He didn’t think she was still interested. Social activities would be a different change of pace. Lillian could meet some new friends. The ladies at the daycare seem wary of them, but new friendships elsewhere may mean playdates, and therefore, more free time for Raechelle and him! He could fund the activities with the money he had been robbing off the corpses. There was no way to tell her that. Gavalion smiled and offered his own laugh as he led the way back towards the house. “It’s not a lot. It should be enough to afford whatever you had in mind. I’m not talking anything excessive like a closet full of designer outfits. If you had an eye on a thousand-euro pair of shoes,” he said while glancing toward the mismatched pair she donned, “we may be in trouble. I’ve been saving since my current clothes are becoming unwearable, and I don’t have many to begin with.” Grinning at her, he continued, “Whatever we don’t use can go to the raising Leonardo, paying for general utilities and food, and saving for whatever else fund.” He thought he skirted around her questions expertly and patted himself mentally on the back. He really did need to look into a more legal, worry-free, and stable source of income. Sure he promised Raechelle he’d be a stay-at-home dad, but he would worry about their financial state. Initially it made sense Ariel didn’t leave him in a will since if she died, he was cursed to die with her. However, Sandon seemed to inherit all of the Myssett fortune. From his time at the House, the Myssett’s weren’t struggling with money. There wasn’t some huge debt lingering over Ariel’s shoulders. She simply hated people sitting on their laurels. Working was only mandatory to avoid a stagnant House. They didn’t need the money. If they…Raechelle could convince Sandon to share, she and the children could live their normal carefree life again. For now, only the spawn was guaranteed a financially stable future. When they were inside, Gavalion released her hand. “I can take the tablet from you unless you need it,” he said. “I’m not pressed to go shopping immediately or anything. We don’t even have to go today.” Although he may mess up another outfit when he went hunting tonight. He’d probably pick up a couple inexpensive shirts and a pair of pants just in case. “But if you want to go before we have to pick up Lilly, I can pack what we need for Leo.”

ooc/ Awww! It's so cute! <3 Now I'm gonna have to look it up! It sounds interesting!! And... ah XD Well, that's more doable than I expected haha! I felt like adding a little 'umph' to Raechelle's story, more so to give her a reason for her slight change. Over tired and frustrated. XD She might as well keep some secrets too! bic/ Gavalion didn't get it! Oh man, this was going to be so much harder if he didn't GET the dirty jokes! But, that did give her the option to tease and torture him more... Hm. She didn't know if this was a good or bad thing. But the look on his face of pure confusion was quite intriguing. What did he think she meant? Maybe it was a bad joke... Or maybe she was still tired? It made sense in her head! Why was she internally defending herself?! "The spark was sex," she whispered at Gavalion, winking at him. "I thought it was a funny and inappropriate comment. Now it's not funny anymore because I have to explain it to you! You know, I can't do any physical activity and that requires physical activity..." she tried to explain, then sighed and shook her head. "But don't worry! I wasn't being serious, so you don't need to get your panties in a twist. I figured it was funny and I can't exactly participate in dirty jokes at the daycare or with the kids. So... yeah." She partially missed Sandon for that aspect of their relationship. She might get her own panties in a twist over his immaturity, but sometimes she enjoyed it. Not that she'd ever admit that! Raechelle noticed that he didn't answer all of her questions. Where'd he get his money? No answer. How much? No answer. Na da. Nothing. If he wasn't going to answer her, it wasn't worth it. She'd figure out eventually anyways, or... she wouldn't. Did it matter? All of these stupid secrets just led to fights and she didn't want that! Happy Raechelle, happy couple, happy Gavalion. Faking the fun and happiness so there wouldn't be any troubles... It was exhausting. "We can go today! We might as well, it's not like I have much else to do," other than paint or sleep or clean. None of those sounded intriguing at the moment, so she really did want to go shopping instead. Sure, she had a job that had flown into her email the night before but that could wait. It would wait because she just wasn't feeling it. If she wasn't tired from parenting, she was tired from the effort she was putting into everything. Raechelle knew better than to wear herself out, but she couldn't help it. She had to prove Nicholas wrong, she had to prove Envy wrong and she had to prove herself wrong. It was dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb! That was just one more lie she was living. She had the 'opportunity', as Envy put it, to sit down with a human doctor. Those were so much scarier than Envy, despite the fact that they weren't as likely to take a bit out of her. Yet again, 'talk about your feelings' came up and it was... awful. The human doctor wasn't dumb, which was absolutely infuriating. And it was all Envy's fault! All Raechelle did was complain about Nicholas's insistence about Gavalion and how she frequently wondered why she got herself into this mess at all. She didn't mean it in a bad way! Raechelle had too much time to think in her tired states, and as she tried to explain to Nicholas she just... thought about it. What if she didn't do the dirty with Gavalion and have another kid? What if she let him stay away and never went after him at all? It was like the alternate universes flew into her mind and she played them out. Apparently, that was a bad thing to tell a doctor, because now she was captive in this human doctor's web. She used the excuse that she had to stay at the daycare and talk to the Moms. Sure, she did that sometimes... but not all the time. Sometimes she saw HIM. As far as she was concerned, the guy was pure evil. Helpful, but evil. He liked to remind her of her past and try to pry things out of her. 'Be your authentic self' was her favourite line of his. It was kind of hard to do that when she wasn't even sure what that was yet. He agreed a lot with Nicholas too and that made everything worse. She didn't want to tell Gavalion she had to see him. It wasn't that she was ashamed of it... but at the same time she was. Raechelle prided herself in growing up and not having to rely on anybody else anymore. Now, she was back to step one trying to tell people she was normal, all because she liked having intellectual conversations. Would Gavalion think she was crazy? It wasn't like the doctor told her something she didn't already know. She stopped her medications years ago and found better methods. Self-care, meditation sufficient sleep, stress reduction and having a good diet helped a lot. The whole 'exercise' thing got cut out a lot due to the kids, but she tried her best. The doctor thought he was doing a good job identifying more problems with her, but again... nothing she didn't already know. It was dumb. And it made her... shockingly pessimistic, being back at square one. So she didn't go now! She had the three appointments she was required to be Envy and decided to not go. It was only hurting her in the end, which she was sure the lovely doctor didn't agree with. But, the lovely doctor also didn't agree with her picking up her own children so she could shove it. That woman took out her reproductive organs, she had enough from her (in her humble opinion). "You get Leo ready, I'll find some matching shoes, and we'll be on our merry way!" And she wouldn't mention that Gavalion forgot to mention they needed to pick up Kory. Yup, she wouldn't do that. It wouldn't change a darn thing... He was right about one thing, that stupid doctor, Gavalion didn't change. The one thing the doctor had wrong was that Gavalion would change when he 'grew up'. That one made her snicker, but hey - humans doctors. What can ya do?

// and there’s this totally cute moment: drive.google.com/file/d/1ryeTtMiGP39LbcRciEdAL6rlZ5OFDBMF/viewThe first few chapters are available free on viz.com: www.viz.com/shonenjump/chapters/spy-x-familyI think it’s a new series, so a physical book isn’t available yet. Gav isn’t a very picky druggie. He just wants something to work. xD; Poor Raech. At least she’s *trying* to get better. Gav would go to a marriage counselor kicking and screaming. Heck he’d probably nail himself to the house first. Lol // “O-oh,” Gavalion stammered, blushing slightly at her clarification. That explained the eyebrow wiggle. She was being flirty…and he missed the cues. He needed to work on seeing them. Knowing that she was willing to spend the day shopping with him, he shuffled away a little embarrassed and went to place down Leonardo so that he could pack with two hands. As he assembled the baby bag, he called Nikki and talked to him about dinner plans. The boy was doubtful finding all the ingredients would be easy, but he would do his best and hung up. Gavalion guessed he was still annoyed with him. Either way, he didn’t have to deal with Nicholas or his attitude until they returned home. Maybe Gavalion could buy him something while they were out. Nikki wasn’t as easily amused as Lilly nowadays, but it was the thought that counted, right? He’d have to buy something that wasn’t totally useless or Nicholas would ridicule him. “Why did you bother to buy this?” he imagined his grandson would quip. Maybe he shouldn’t buy anything… Once everything was packed, Gavalion waited for Raechelle in the kitchen. Weighing nothing to him, the baby bag hung from his shoulders. Leonardo was dressed and with a new diaper in the carrier. Gavalion had traded his normal glasses for sunglasses, and they rested on the top of his head. He was humming to himself as he rocked Leo’s carrier and thought about what he could possibly buy Nikki as a sort of “make-up” gift. Nicholas was kinda like him. He didn’t seem to be the big spender type and treasured the things he had even beyond them falling apart. He doubted that there was an astrology book Nikki didn’t own. He did seem to enjoy puzzles mostly with the spawn. When Lillian helped, he enjoyed watching the children collaborate. Maybe another puzzle then? But that seemed to be catering to the children than to Nikki. Hrm. He could ask Nicholas to fill half a page of things he’d like to have. For some reason Gavalion thought most of the page would be filled with sassy remarks revolving around Raechelle and him. The boy was a handful of trouble, and he doubted any of that would go away once he decided it was time to move out.

ooc/ Ugh. So cute DX
I turned my screen brightness down while trying to read this, and I was 'the baby boy hung from his shoulders' and I was all like O.O. Turned the brightness up and was quite relieved to know it was the bag haha
bic/
Raechelle managed to fix herself up nicely and quickly. Matching shoes (different shoes, because lord knows she couldn't find the matching pairs for the ones on her feet), matching socks and she brushed her hair and teeth. It sounded pathetic, but it felt good! The little things were what counted...
She grabbed her purse on her way downstairs, ready to get out of the house! Once she managed to make it to the kitchen, she couldn't help but smile. It was the cutest, little sight that made it all worth it in the end. Gavalion seemed happy and Leo was adorable, as always, so her heart couldn't help but swell up. Gosh, it probably would even bring tears to her eyes!
"Are you ready to go?" she asked, smiling towards the two boys. Was it bad to admit she was excited? Raechelle even remember to throw her wedding ring back on now that her finger wasn't swelled up anymore. It was like today was some exciting event! The shopping really wasn't, but it something more exciting than her typical day! Although, she was curious how much attention Gavalion would really appreciate. He'd be the star of the show today! He didn't seem like the type to like being fussed over, but it was still going to happen!
Raechelle did ponder if Gavalion was going back to his shyness again. Months ago during their whirlwood pregnancy, she could essentially snap her fingers and they'd be getting it on. Now he was blushing and stammering at her teasing... It wasn't like she cared, her hormones weren't running amok anymore. She couldn't care less if he wasn't as interested. As long as he didn't hide away from her completely, it wouldn't be that bad. Sure, probably at some point it'd cause an issue but for now she didn't care. It was super tempting to ask him what his intentions were but it could be awkward. Maybe she'd wait it out. Eventually it'd be a topic of conversation, so why bother?
"We're going to make a frog into a prince today, as Lillian would say! This is going to be fun!" She headed towards the door, leading the way.

// xD //
“Ribbit ribbit,” Gavalion teased, following after her with Leonardo.
>>>
He took them to a little shopping center he occasionally visited at night. A few swinging benches surrounded a fountain, and the vampire would spend some time watching the moon’s reflection waver in the water. The soft gurgling calmed his racing thoughts and just rocking on the bench was peaceful. The last time he was here, another night owl was perched at the edge of the fountain. He had been stirring the water with a stick, and when Gavalion approached, he tossed the stick into the fountain. The two talked a bit before the boy took his leave.
Gavalion wondered if the stick was still there. It must have been moved by now, right? Their encounter was almost a week ago, so it wouldn’t make much sense for it to be there. “Hm.” Standing before the directory, he noted their current location and the location of the fountain. He could hear it, but they weren’t close to its location. If he decrypted the legend correctly, there were a few restaurants near it. They could have an impromptu, possibly romantic fountain-side picnic.
He pursed his lips slightly. He wasn’t sure why he was so fixated upon the stick and the fountain. True the boy looked a bit tired and disheveled. Gavalion guessed he was part of a fight or two before finding refuge at the fountain, but he didn’t bring it up in their conversation…Was that why he was thinking of him now? Suddenly angry at himself, the vampire scowled inwardly, but a twitchy smile hid his true emotions. The boy was only a child.
Shaking his head, he decided now was not the time to think about food. They were here to fill his shrinking closet…because he was a messy eater…dang it. Maybe doing this hungry was a bad idea.
“Where do you want to start first?” he asked, wanting to take his mind off the need to feed his monster side. Having given up translating, Gavalion pointed to a few spots on the map. “I know these are clothing stores, but I don’t quite remember what they each sell.” He looked at Raechelle. “We can look around. We still have a few hours before Lilly needs to be picked up from daycare. We may even find something that catches your eye! When was the last time you treated yourself?”

"Let's head towards the clothing stores," Raechelle pointed on the map to a section of the map that appeared to be focused on clothing. All of the names were listed under the the clothing section, so she figured it would be a good start. At least one of them would have men's clothing in it! She lightly held onto Gavalion's elbow, pulling him as she led the way. All the while, she tried to think of the last time she treated herself. It was definitely before Leo was born, but did that really matter? It was more fun spoiling Gavalion and the kids than herself. Once she lost the extra baby weight she would have some real fun clothing shopping, but that would take a little bit of time.
"I haven't treated myself for a while, but today is not about me! It's all about you!" She offered him a grin then directed him towards what looked like a department store. Soon enough she'd be dressing him up like a Barbie doll and making him walk the runway. Even if it was simple and silly, she was pretty excited for this little trip. She could already imagine the fun clothes she would get to pick out and make Gavalion try on.
"You need to figure out what size you are so I can pamper you with clothes! Maybe we'll be able to find a matching outfit for you and Leo! That'd be super cute!" She already had her eyes set on some of the clothes. Some of them were fancy, but most were just simple fashion items. A pair of green-ish cargo pants, a light grey dress shirt, a brown pair of shoes that looked like a cross between fancy and plain - they all seemed reasonably priced as well.
She eventually released her husband's arm, barely realizing she was still dragging him as she went. Somehow she'd escaped into her own mind and was barely thinking about the present. All she could think about was the cute little matching outfits that she had her heart set on. It would embarrass Gavalion potentially and make Leo look even cuter! She'd have to find something matching for Lillian though or she'd throw a fit... the poor girl was her Daddy's girl and it showed. She had better not try to ruin that relationship on accident by giving Leo and Gav cute matching outfits.
"What do you like?" she asked curiously. "While you're looking, I can carry Leo around... if you'd like!" She felt like a helicopter parent even if she wasn't trying to be one. The constant hovering was driving her crazy, but she didn't know what else to do. Eventually she'd have to get used to being farther away from both Gav and Leo, but her inner introvert was still working on that.

ooc/ Ideas for later: I imagined a very lovely reuniting of Raechelle & Sandon. I have this little feeling in the back of my mind that even though she trusts Valentine, she's still unsure if Sandon made it out okay. Seriously, I imagined like a Hallmark movie, jumping into his arms, tears and the works. XD It was a seriously goofy thought but I figured it'd be cute lol
I'm still playing with ideas for the rest of them though. Envy finishing her deal with Gavalion, Raechelle second guessing herself, all the normal fun stuff. I'm hoping some more exciting ideas pop into my head lol
