Run small child

seeing her friend so sad saddened georgina beyond belief. contrary to popular belief, there was indeed a heart beating somewhere deep within her core- and seeing kota like that made something in her body ache when she moved to caress their hand, biting her lips. “dory will get over it.. i know it.” she tried to say something, anything to make it better for them. “look, dory loves you, okay? there’s not a force in the world or a mess up so bad that could ever break your two’s bond and this you need to remember.” georgie spoke softly, moving to offer kota a reassuring smile. “plus, what even happened that made your dad and dory so upset with you in the first place?” georgie asked, honestly confused as she didn’t bother to keep up with gossip girl while she was away in venice. all she knew was what kota told her over the phone. 

Caspian: well just my manager really, i once tried to hire a really cute cockapoo onto the team and it just didn’t go down well 

Caspian: i’ve messaged him that i wanna chat so i should know pretty soon! 

Caspian: i mean i might have to run it past a few people bc nobody trusts me with decision-making but!!! like you’re easily my new fav candidate  Caspian: so probably! Caspian: maybe Caspian: i hope 

even though the van buren talked with dakoa regularly while in venice, the girl still couldn’t understand how it was humanly possible for kota’s dad to do such a thing to them. however, as planned- georgina was now parked next to the coffee shop her and kota agreed to meet in. with a little smile on her face, the blonde walked in and stepped towards her friend, moving to sit before them on the table. “hello, my lovely doll– i’ve missed you.” she sang out sweetly and pulled them in a tight hug. “tell me the 411– who should i yell at next?” @dakotaworthington

Caspian: that’s so clever… i just… get caught when i don’t wanna be caught. like this one time i ended up on page 6 for kinda sorta being involved in an orgy that i wasn’t even PROPERLY involved in… so that sucks. i didn’t even get to have the fun i was accused of having :/ Caspian: huh. y’know that’s kinda poetic. i have mad respect for people who don’t give a crap too 

[ text to kota ]: hey, i’m already here.

andré hits send and sits comfortably in the grass, enjoying the rare february sun. going by gossip girl’s latest blast, he imagines dakota is not having the best of times lately. so he’s come prepared with a cute little picnic to cheer them up. he’s got everything, from the nicest rosé he could find, to the best french macaroons in new york city. it’s all a bit french themed, but he hopes they won’t mind.

closed starter for @dakotaworthington

Caspian: i mean i probably would get caught anyway. i’m not really the most conspicuous of people :/  Caspian: huh. then ya know, honestly, it could work. all i ask is that people keep it real with me… but you’ve already been more honest than my existing agent sO 

the easy vibe from their earlier conversation had clearly disappeared, but she still was intrigued to know what their thought process behind all this was. “i believe you, i mean–you must’ve had your reasons.” and it was true, jinhee knew everyone had their own reasons and justifications for doing whatever it was they did. “i just hope things get easier i guess,” she said quietly before looking back at dakota. “how’s the rest of your family taking it?”

jinhee had completely left all the thoughts of soccer mom’s, fashion statements, and everything else behind when she heard what dakota had said. she could see that they weren’t very comfortable with talking about it with jinhee, which she understood, but a part of her still felt terrible about what they were going through. “you tried to steal the company? wow i can’t imagine that going over very well..” she commented before nodding at their words. “well of course, but yeah honestly dakota, if you need anything–you can ask.”

jinhee couldn’t help the giggle that escaped her at dakota’s words. she herself wanted children, but given the last couple of months, she wanted to avoid thinking about it for as long as possible. with a nod aimed at them, she smiled, glad they understood where she was coming from. at the sudden revelation though, she found herself surprised and concerned. “what? i mean of course you’ll survive, but how–did all this happen? but listen, i mean you know if you need anything–you’ve got people around,” she told them with a smile, hoping he understood without her getting into specifics. 

Kota, though fashion forward in their own right, could definitely understand the desire to not participate in all aspects of the fashion world. Antique lace, overly bright 90′s fashion coming back, mom jeans... they were all things that Kota didn’t get behind. As the other spoke, Dakota shook their head quickly. “I know I.... i’ll be fine.” They didnt want to have to accept help from others, having spent years building up walls to seem untouchable and show people that they didn’t need anyone. “Its a long story. I tried to sneakily steal the family company and got caught.” It was more than that but they werent in the mood to get fully into it right now. “Im figuring it all out but thank you for that.” 

she only chuckled at their words before shaking her head. “can you imagine the horror?” she giggled before hearing their words and frowning, “yeah but fur–i don’t know, i just can’t..like i’ve never been a fan,” and there she was again, giving out her own opinions to those that hadn’t asked. she heard dakota’s words and raised an eyebrow, concern slowly filling her eyes. “what do you mean? why wouldn’t you go anywhere for a vacation that’s as fabulous as you are?”

“Id rather not. I am not having children for that reason right there. Too many Karens and Debras.” They mumbled before shrugging. They owned quite a bit of fur, some real and some not, but could understand a desire to not wear it. “I get that though. Im not a huge fan of that antique lace trend that went around. You either look like a grandmother or a child and both are not attractive.” Bringing their hand up to  play with one of their curls, they cocked their head to the side. “I no longer have the money for it. My father disowned me and cut me off. Its no big deal. I’ll survive.” 

Caspian: you know, that’s very, very tempting. i’ve been looking for an excuse to get some of that LA sunshine Caspian: lol can i hire you instead? as i’m no longer sure what i’m paying mine for, that’s for sure 

jinhee thought about their words and pulled a face, “oh god yeah, but i bet the caffeine or whatever she came for in here helped her chill out,” she smiled before making another face at what dakota told her. “oh god–that sounds horrific, and yet–i wonder why she was wearing a fur vest in the first place,” she tsk’d before laughing at their words. “it was definitely a fabulous adventure and absolutely something you should do as well. it’s actually so therapeutic to just get away.”

“I hope so. God forbid Brenda didn’t bring a healthy snack for practice today. That lady will end her.” Dakota joked before shrugging slowly. “She could still wish to look fab. Nothing wrong with owning nice things despite your life and current situation.” Heck, even with the idea of selling a bunch of their own high end items, they were still keeping some that they couldnt bring themselves to part with. Ducking their head, Kota shook their head slowly. “I dont think I will be going on fabulous adventures for quite a while. 

she could see a sort of wistful look in their eyes as they spoke about the european city and it almost made jinhee want to repack her bags and jet off again; but she wouldn’t–not when she’d only just gotten back. instead she smiled at them, pleased that a job here actually wasn’t as bad as she’d once imagined it to be. “that is pretty cool,” she grinned as they lifted the apron to show her. she checked it out and smiled back at them with a nod. “i actually love it, more reasons to come to this place for sure.”

“I did have a soccer mom with an attitude earlier but it must be really hard dealing with annoying children all day and only having enough time to throw your hair into a messy pony because of it.” They pointed out, letting their apron drop with a smile before raising their hand and giving a quick brush motion as if the encounter was nothing, “She had baby spit up on her fur vest so I forgive her. Its going to be a nightmare to get that out. But how have you been, Miss Jet off to have fabulous adventures? Im proud of you. It sounds like something I’d do.” 

caspian: oh right. huh. this stassi person and i should have a get together as that’s practically my main prerogative in life. 

caspian: … why are you wiser than my agent wtf
