Good. Great. Next weekend?

( Or tomorrow? Is he taking a plane? )
regentem: (12)

[personal profile] regentem 2021-11-12 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Next weekend.

[He has time, no rush. She wanted to make sure he could make the plans to get here.]

I'm glad you're coming. It'll be fun.
commend: (planned grouply)

[personal profile] commend 2021-11-12 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It will be. Should I -- bring anything?

( Why is he asking? Doesn't the guy usually just bring the flowers without asking? )
regentem: (13)

[personal profile] regentem 2021-11-12 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Just you.

[She's never really been a flowers girl, though she'd certainly be charmed by them.]

I'll text you all the details.
commend: (crossed interrupted)

[personal profile] commend 2021-11-12 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
OK. I'll draw up a flight plan.

( He's cute, ain't he? )
regentem: (14)

[personal profile] regentem 2021-11-12 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[He very much is.]

Good. Then, I'll ... see you soon, I guess?

[Which feels weird to say after so long doing long distance, but she's clearly excited.]
commend: (befriends loyally)

[personal profile] commend 2021-11-12 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. See you soon, Davina. Thanks for the call.

( Yeah, he be giddy. And then he -- hangs up. is that okay? He totally hangs up but takes a moment to revel in the phone call. )
impetere: (a shot in the dark)

[personal profile] impetere 2021-11-12 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[And when he eventually floats his way back to the table where Cora is waiting, she answers his question about Stiles with a shrug.]

He went to the bathroom. How's Davina?

[Because she doesn't have to ask who it was. She was in New Orleans when they met, and she knows that look on Scott's face.]
commend: (arm inspection)

[personal profile] commend 2021-11-12 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Planning a beignet festival. And she invited me. It's some kind of pastry.

( He's fighting the urge to Google. )
impetere: (like some child possessed)

[personal profile] impetere 2021-11-13 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
They're good. Kind of like funnel cake but it's stuffed with fruit.

[You'll like them, is her point. And then, because she's curious.]

Is it a date?
commend: (attention halved)

[personal profile] commend 2021-11-13 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
It's a date. She called and asked personally... Should I get flowers?

( He should bring flowers. )
impetere: (mirror my malady)

[personal profile] impetere 2021-11-13 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Cora is probably not the person to ask. Because while she is a woman, her romantic liaisons haven't exactly been the most formal endeavors. She's still a Hale, which means she stumbles into things, enjoys them while they last and hope they're not out to kill her pack.

That being said, she is still a woman:]


I don't think flowers will hurt you.
commend: (breaches triumphantly)

[personal profile] commend 2021-11-13 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'll bring flowers.

( It's a deal. Oh, right. Food. He continues to attack his food.

And that's about the time Damon saunters up.

"Well, if it isn't the nicest werewolf in town and --", who are you, Cora? "Also, I agree. Flowers. Couldn't hurt. Davina Claire?"
)

impetere: (be careful of the curse)

[personal profile] impetere 2021-11-13 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Enjoy that Hale glare, Damon.

Cora's been aware of Damon and Lydia's presence (12), but she wasn't looking to interrupt her friend's date. But now Damon's here and Lydia is nowhere to be seen.]


What's it to you?
unforgivably: (I had it handled)

[personal profile] unforgivably 2021-11-13 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
She's feisty. I'm going with second werewolf. Well - eleventh - where Scott goes. Or, I guess where Stiles goes. Or, whomever makes up your pack. You all love to travel in - well. Packs.

( Scott, being so close to the school knows enough about Damon to not trust him (14). He even pushes his tray further, finally regarding him. )

Do you want something, Damon?

( "Just checking up. We used to be vampire country but now it seems like we're all-country. So. Checking up." )
impetere: (baby doll i recognize)

[personal profile] impetere 2021-11-13 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Weren't you here with Lydia?

[So yes, she figures it's more than just checking up.]

Or did she decide she had better things to do?

[Aka why are you bothering them instead of bothering the person you actually want to talk to.]
unforgivably: (do you want a piece)

[personal profile] unforgivably 2021-11-13 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Well, this is a dynamic I like.

( And he's above explaining biological systems. )

Should I ask the same of Stiles, or do we both pretend we don't know where our dates are? You heard. I heard. We have impeccable hearing.
impetere: * scott (i'm making to attack)

[personal profile] impetere 2021-11-13 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Cora's eyes narrow, because she's trying to read between the lines of what Damon's implying, but before she can come up with a witty retort, a scream echoes through the air.

The thing about a banshee's scream, is that while humans aren't specifically attuned, the supernatural are. Both werewolves snap to attention, turning in the direction of that supersonic sound.

Probably, somewhere over a tub of cotton candy, two vampires do too.

As the sound fades, Cora's eyes meet Scott's as she pushes up to her feet, prepared to move.]


Lydia.
unforgivably: (you want me to be better than)

[personal profile] unforgivably 2021-11-13 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
( (9) Less attune to Lydia's scream, he just hears a scream, not having heard her cry the night Stiles died. But, Cora and Scott making the connection and having better ears than him (and knowing her scream) snaps him to attention, too, as he looks back in that direction and then to Cora and Scott. )

You heard it, too. Lydia? ( Wait. )

She screamed.
impetere: (and the crave gets slaked)

[personal profile] impetere 2021-11-13 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[It doesn't escape her notice that Stiles is still missing. Tension gathers in her shoulders, hoping that Lydia is screaming for something unrelated. She gathers what remains of her food to toss in the trash as she looks to Scott for confirmation.]

We should go.
unforgivably: (I feel things)

[personal profile] unforgivably 2021-11-13 11:25 am (UTC)(link)
I'm coming with you.

( He's not asking. )
impetere: (and says his prayers by night)

[personal profile] impetere 2021-11-14 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Then keep up.

[And with that, off they go to track down the banshee and weave their way into the main thread.]
