[He's not actually in Paris for his birthday, or rather their birthday, but he leaves her something anyway. There's a bottle of wine from his farm, aged to perfection, beside a nice perfume. He leaves them beside a card, full of well wishes and affection from her favourite brother.]
[Aw, how sweet of him. When she returns to the house her and Roberto share she finds the gifts and card and tucks them away. She considers calling them, but instead just sends a quick text. She should probably go and move his gift in his own apartment if he won’t be there for a few days.]
How strange it was to actually be in Paris for her birthday. How old was she this year? The memory was a bit foggy, but probably somewhere around two thousand and fifty. Later on she’ll consult her journals to pinpoint exactly how old she was. For now she was sitting on her apartment balcony watching the crowds of people below celebrating; watching without interfering as she figured out how to feel.
WHY?
Because I have children, a partner, pets, and I’m horribly self centered. I’m more my life than just career, dear.
But it’s your job
Unlike some people my job isn’t my entire life.
And? Nothing wrong with that
I miss my bed.
Meetings suck.
Traveling to them is a nightmare. I just want to stay at home for just one week straight without something coming up.
I was excited for summer at first...but there seems to have been an increase in away meetings since the season started.
Hi guys! Sorry I died for awhile there. I’ve recently gotten a full time job as a cashier from 4-12 nearly everyday and it kinda took over my life. Plus there was a few other incidents that I didn’t know how to handle and I’m still dealing with.
Anyways I love you all so much and I appreciate you guys sticking around and continuing to follow me <3 I’ll be back in a week or so semi-permanently. Probably try to be on more right away actually
[Dramatic gasp] I didn’t buy a house with a big ass garden to only have a few birds. There’s plenty of space for more
If you want to. I’m not too hungry
You already have over twenty, Roberto. Your bird hoarding is becoming a serious problem and getting anymore would be highly impractical. [boops his nose before sitting up straight and taking her phone from her pocket.]
I’m a bit hungry now so maybe you’ll be more interested in it when it gets here.
Indeed. Tho i’d preffer birds. No such thing as having too many birds
Yes, we settled that five minutes ago
Darling there is such a thing as too many birds and we’re extremely close to that number. Actually we passed it, but you love them so it’s fine.
Should I order it now?
slytherin aesthetics
THERE’S SO MUCH HISTORY // the past lingers in our minds, reminding us of all we’ve lost and all we’ve found
Exactly. Now come on, think of something else to forget about this. Like… puppies
Ah yes, future dogs. Such a non stressful topic with absolutely nothing that could go wrong. [she sounds oddly sarcastic here.]
We’re doing Italian for dinner, yes?
Aurélie, please, relax a bit. I swear that if I even think for a second of getting worse I’ll go to the hospital. For the moment though, I can handle it
Maybe you should see a doctor then
I’m going to take your word for this just because I know you can’t hide behind unable to breath. [she doesn’t relax though]
Very cute.
