Happenstance (Open to Irene and Hyunjin)

He was late. He hated being late but there was little sympathy when it came to the sign off process in the force, he had to file all his cases before the end of the day and thanks to a runner putting his schedule behind earlier he was still writing up the last of it. He pulled out his phone to send Alicia, Rosie's babysitter a message to say he would be late and he would meet her at the coffee shop, adding to treat herself and Rosie on him. He breathed a sigh of relief when she responded with 'No Problem' and got back to work on filing his final case, wiping his brow and shaking his head, working a full job was tough when you were a single parent.

When Lici announced they were going to get hot cocoa, Rosie couldn't help but squeal excitedly before placing her hand into hers, they headed out of the house and she followed as they walked the distance over to the cafe they liked going to. It had only opened recently and the owner was really friendly, always giving her a candy whenever she came in. Before long they were heading inside and over to the counter. She looked around the room curiously before spotting what looked like a massive white cloud across the room.

Her eyes widened and she tugged on Lici's hand to point in the direction of the dog before pouting her lips as though to plead with her. When she nodded but asked her to stay in sight. She nodded before wandering closer to the white dog who was laying down and minding it's own business but instead of petting it, Rosie pulled out the chair opposite the owner and hoisted herself onto it. She wobbled a little before smiling softly "Hi" she tilted her head a little, trying to figure out what she was doing on her laptop.

"Your dog is very fluffy" she spoke softly as she looked at her and then back to the blonde girl "Do you have to brush it a lot?" of course she was fact-finding about dog ownership since she had been trying to convince daddy to let her get one for a pet.

When he shot her that look, Irene had to admit she almost bit her lip and swallowed everything down just so she could behave. Exactly how he would want her to. Which was weird considering how much the diviner normally doesn’t submit to anyone. At all. It would be a lie if she said she didn’t notice the way he looked down at his shoes, to which she bit her lip briefly, right, she often forgot how other people had their own circumstances. Dammit Irene, she cursed internally. It really wasn’t her intention at all. She just wanted to spoil Rosie, and her father. Money didn’t seem like a big deal to her after a while of navigating her entire life around it.

“I’m not the best person… admittedly. But I want to try and make amends… for what I’ve done wrong, I should be… doing something nice for everyone else. Whoever could benefit.” You cannot satisfy everyone, after all. “I think my sanityhas gone off the rails for a while now, if we’re being honest.” She jested, or maybe it wasn’t much a joke to begin with. Irene Farley hasn’t had a mundane life for as long as she could remember and she has lived for a few more decades now.

“No… I actually did end up making a decent ceramic.” She’s a workaholic, and a perfectionist, which wasn’t the best combination for a control freak. Irene glanced over when he said his legs are tall and have a mind of its own “Yeah… they’re nice to stare at too.” As are other things.

Once the items they purchased were bagged up, she was excited to go for the dressing up section. She has always been a jewelry girl but you cannot adorn yourself with sets of those without a complete match up from your clothes. “I… will admit that I actually do spend a lot… People call it retail therapy?” Either way, she dragged both of them to the clothes section at another department store. “Let’s play a game… the first one to come up with first three ticks on clothing choices, will get a wish.”

Hyunjin nodded his head slightly “I’m sure with a company like yours, you’ve been involved in plenty of charity work” whether a person particularly felt strongly about charity or not, it was a known thing to improve publicity and general sentiment, but perhaps he wanted to hear if there was anything she felt strongly about personally. “You and me both” he echoed with a soft chuckle when she pointed out that her sanity wasn’t on the rails “I think that’s just a symptom of being an adult” he teased softly.

He raised his brow curiously wondering what a ceramic she designed would look like, she didn’t strike him as a particularly artistic person so it made him somewhat curious. “Naturally you’d find a way to be good at everything huh?” he questioned softly “Then what are you bad at?” he questioned playfully, they all had something they couldn’t be good at no matter how hard they tried right?

Hyunjin looked down at his legs and chuckled when she said they were nice to stare at, he couldn’t see the appeal personally but who was he to…question. “Well…that much I can’t relate to, unless you count going grocery shopping once a week” but he definitely saw that as a chore more than any kind of therapy that was for sure. Regardless he followed behind her, offering to take Rosie’s bag for her so she could go on ahead.

Rosie excitedly followed after Irene, reaching to hold her hand as they headed into the next part of the store and Hyunjin followed behind them, happy to see his little girl having such a good afternoon “Not to cut the fun too short…but I do have beef in the slow cooker waiting a home” he commented softly.
