Autumn Open Post As we know, I love my AUs and PSLs! I love exploring worlds and discovering how little changes can tumble and create big changes. My characters are top-leveled but feel free to add your own and let me know if there's someone you'd like! ♥

It was better than expected.

Okay, okay, it was really good.

[flickofawrist]

I knew you were a favorite of mine for a reason. Even if I feel slightly guilty about enabling your addiction.

[callmeles]

Hey, only sightly is better than very.

I may not be a convert but I would have it more often. You know, I was told, multiple times over the years that tea was a "healthier way to relax than whiskey" but I don't think I can abide by that.

[flickofawrist]

Tea doesn’t numb the mind like whiskey does, not without medicinal elements added that aren’t particularly healthy to use for prolonged periods of time, either. It’s not wrong to say that tea is healthier than whiskey, but usually the people who want to calm down by drinking whiskey aren’t looking for the same sort of solace. I'm more of a kvas drinker when I want to get buzzed. It's like vodka.

Though, tea won’t compromise your abilities like whiskey and kvas does, so it’s a trade off in that aspect, too.

[callmeles]

That's a great point. Hm, I'll have to try kvas next time I'm around and if you have any.

I did have a hot toddy once and it wasn't bad.

[flickofawrist]

I’ll do you one better and send you some. It’s one of the few takeaways from Ravka I’ve kept close to my heart.

Oh, those are good, especially when you’re under the weather.

[callmeles]

I knew there was a reason why you were one of my favorites!

I can see that. It was soothing to my throat though I wasn't under the weather then.

[flickofawrist]

Had to yell at someone instead?

[callmeles]

Exactly. Or a few someones.

Yelling takes a lot out of you.

[flickofawrist]

It can. Though I find yelling very cathartic sometimes I've been told I'm not supposed to, so take it for what that's worth.

[callmeles]

Anyone who says you're not supposed to can suck it.

I've found it to be pretty cathartic as well. Not as much as fighting it out with Adonis sometimes but it's up there.

[flickofawrist]

I can see that being cathartic. Getting out some physical aggression.

I don't do as much training these days, to be honest. Hand-to-hand sure, but ever since my powers took on a more necromantic bend, it just feels... I don't know. Indecent to practice. It isn't as if long-rested bones can consent, you know? Calling someone from the past back to the present feels cruel.

Though I did try and speak with Matthias. Once.

[callmeles]

That actually makes a lot of sense and I would probably feel that same way in your place. Do you miss the way your powers were before?

Did you? Did it work?

I would have done the same… try to speak with David that is.

[flickofawrist]

Nothing like a permanent change to the very foundation of your being to question things. I miss it, yes, but I'm trying to see it as anyone who misses a version of themselves they can't recover. Feels less selfish that way.

It didn't work. Matthias is the only person I can't make it worth with. I don't know what that means. Maybe it means he's in paradise now. Maybe he just doesn't want to talk to me.

[Maybe he's in trouble, but she can't voice that out loud.]

[callmeles]

That's for fucking sure. I get it. My abilities and strength were vastly different with Jordan around and after she died... my magic felt different. I sometimes miss what it was like before but I don't take for granted what I have now and whatever may come my way in the future.

Damn. I'm really sorry to hear that. I doubt he wouldn't want to talk to you so there has to be another reason.

[flickofawrist]

I think it does get easier, the moving forward. Slowly, over time. Takes awhile for the mud to clean up and the ground to feel more solid.

I certainly hope he's okay, at least. And that it's not just the saints having a laugh.

[callmeles]

That's a good way of putting it. I like that. And it's true, it gets easier.

I hope so too, Nina.
