<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Artemis just shook her head in her amusement, at his teasing. It was like nothing had changed in their relationship. The two always having such banter and teasing, even back then. “Yes…yes I can blame you.” she said with a laugh. Knowing she always found a way to do so, even if he used come-backs against her. But the two were similar in such ways, it was hard not to point it out. As he suggested a night out with him and Dom, she rose a slight eyebrow. “I am…</span></p>

For she<a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/1d5b5d795efa8ab5e3227af50f039e0a/tumblr_inline_ogceug4Idk1rifr4k_500.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/1d5b5d795efa8ab5e3227af50f039e0a/tumblr_inline_ogceug4Idk1rifr4k_500.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="190" class="align-right"/></a> did not get paid to baby-sit, and if she had to end up babysitting both of their drunk asses, it’d be hard work for her. “I am not sure it’d be a good idea. Might ruin your guys’ fun.” Not wanting to put a damper on their evening, with her being responsible out of the trio. “But if it’ll make you happy. I’ll think about it.” What’s the worst that could happen? One of them convince her to start drinking…and her getting drunk herself. Besides, she wasn’t even sure how Dom would take to her hanging out with them both. Artemitra hadn’t really talked with Dom, just a passing greeting when she saw him out and about; but that was it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Guess I have a natural talent.” she said with a light shrug. Somehow always having the artistic eye about things; even back in the olden days. She knew what she was doing, that was for certain. Artemis was always one for details. Even then, not satisfied if something didn’t look right and out of place. Raising a slight eyebrow at his warning. What did Cora not tell her? “What did Cora do now?” she asked; knowing how the Aspect of Darkness had a habit of getting into trouble. Sure, trouble may have found the Celestial, but it’s not like she ever walked into it, willingly. Unless someone needed saving. The Star was smarter than that. Knowing Damien must have been warning her for a reason. Like always, looking out for her.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She gave an innocent shrug. “Yeah, sorry about that.” Artemis knew how much he enjoyed playing match-maker; when it came to her love-life. But Tori had beaten him to it. “Why were you planning on trying to set me up with someone?” she joked. Wondering what ideas he already had in his mind. Yes, whilst she may have had feelings for Ery in the past. Things with Jem were entirely different. The two just clicked. Maybe it was because she hadn’t been with anyone for a while; but she felt like she was on a whole different planet from being happy. “Maybe just a small secret.” Truthfully, her first priority had been sobering him up. As Damien seemed to catch onto what her type was, she nodded. “Yes, he is actually. And he plays the guitar also.” Artemis did always have a soft spot for musicians. And guys with a killer smile. It was a few of the things that had instantly attracted her to Jem. It was hard not to fall for that smile.</span></p> “It’s one of my traits” He te…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2023-03-12:6610746:Comment:4352182023-03-12T08:59:02.421Z✓ Damien Verlac ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/DamienVerlac
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s one of my traits” He teased back. Finding she was an easy target to confuse even when he was drunk he was still able to mess with her. Damien was happy to see her smile again not seeing it in a long time. He’s missed the star more than she knows. It was like old times again in a way, reminding him of the good times. “Can you blame me?

Damien was happy to see her smile again not seeing it in a long time. He’s missed the star more than she knows. It was like old times again in a way, reminding him of the good times. “Can you blame me? You're the same so don’t point fingers at me” Remembering how the celestial cheeks always would flush pink whenever a cute boy is nearby especially if he tries to help set her up. “Maybe next time you can come with me and Dom on a night out” Offering to her what could be a wild night but he knew she’d quickly decline but one could hope. She’d most likely be on babysitting duty like she was doing already right now trying to sober him up. “You like to see us damsels in distress and help” Artemis was always the one to help to sober them up or to clear up their messes. That she was the more responsible one most of the time, especially when it came to one of them being drunk and needed help to sober up.</span></p>

Having heard from a few others that she’s been struggling to find normality once again after all that happened in the past. “You were always handy with a camera” He pointed out remembering how even back then she was able to capture it all. Even taking a photo of one of the most simpler things and then being able to see all of the finer details. He was a bit old fashioned but better than others. Sticking to taking photos in a smartphone. He wouldn’t have a clue or anything to edit a photo or change settings. Damien was happy to hear that she was hanging out with Cora and that it did them both good. “Maybe don’t go all adventuress’s with her” Having heard that Cora once stole all of Virideus’s weed one time. Yet he knew that Artemis was sensible enough to stay out of trouble like that.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Oh I see. Someone else has beaten me to playing matchmaker… So who is this new toy boy?” He couldn’t wait to tease her after hearing of her new crush. Damien could already tell that it must be something to make her act all giddy. Smitten. This was different to how she was when she had a thing with Erytherus. Damien could see how happy and excited she was. “You kept this all secret” That something like this she’d want to tell him straight away and here he was wanting to take her out to find a match but it seems she’s already found one. “So a musician huh? I’m guessing the lead singer, knowing you?” Raising a brow wanting to know more.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sticking her tongue out at Damien, she threw him a slight glare. “I swear, you do love to confuse me.” she shook her head. Cracking a light laugh. Even so many years later, he knew how to be a pain in her ass. Something she knew he’d probably excel at, no matter how much time would pass by. It was Damien after all. Hearing his comeback, she looked over at him. “That’s besides the point. I’ve seen you get flustered by hot guys too. Though you’re always much…</span></p>

Even so many years later, he knew how to be a pain in her ass. Something she knew he’d probably excel at, no matter how much time would pass by. It was Damien after all. Hearing his comeback, she looked over at him. “That’s besides the point. I’ve seen you get flustered by hot guys too. Though you’re always much more smooth about it, than myself.” To her it wasn’t fair that he was using that excuse, just because he was gay. Though she tried helping him out in the love department, she sucked at being a wingman. It wasn’t her usual skill. She always got a bit…flustered trying to find the right words. So she let Damien do the speaking himself, after a few tries. But nonetheless she listened to what he had to say about the pleasure house.It didn’t exactly seem like a place that she’d visit. But who knows. There was a first time for everything. Especially if she needed to find him for some reason.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Grabbing a slice of bacon from the side-plate, Artemis bit down on the crunchy piece. Nibbling at it, whilst Damien ate the food she set out in front of him. Seeing that he was sobering up was a relief. At least she wouldn’t have to deal with cleaning up his sick. Not that it’d be the first time. Oh no. She had endured plenty of that before. “I am sure it has its advantages. Especially since you guys are always so busy.” It no doubt helped them on long missions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the conversation turned over to her. Artemis knew that Damien would no doubt try and suck out some new information out of<a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/5560f0f41634a0c8e81608a8cc4b0d75/tumblr_inline_nd3riuZ0jA1slk5sm.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/5560f0f41634a0c8e81608a8cc4b0d75/tumblr_inline_nd3riuZ0jA1slk5sm.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right"/></a> her. “Oh besides keeping you sober?” she joked. “I guess I partially have been trying to get out of a hole, as Cora would call it.” she shrugged her shoulders. “She says I need to be more adventurous and live.” She indeed was trying to though. “A few of my celestial friends helped me set up a display at the art gallery. I still feel lucky that I got accepted with my work.” she smiled proudly. “Besides adding new additions to the art gallery, I’ve been working various photography jobs.” Telling Damien about the last few events that she attended work wise. As he brought up her love life, her cheeks instantly flushed pink. God, he always knew how to stump her. Her love life had been quite confusing to say the least. Given her relationship with the Aspect of Death, once upon a time. “There might be someone.” Artemis eventually said. Knowing he’d tease her about it. He always did. “I actually met him, when I was helping Astoria with her party event. His band was playing at the event.” The smile on her face made her eyes sparkle. God she felt smitten.</span></p> Damien watched looking amused…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-09-20:6610746:Comment:4290572021-09-20T21:41:09.103Z✓ Damien Verlac ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/DamienVerlac
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Damien watched looking amused seeing Artemis’s reaction to him asking for her to stop by the Nadiya’s pleasure house without her knowing the context or the reason why. He was having fun seeing her freak out a little after he said it, with her saying that she didn’t swing that was. “I know you aren’t” Damien was still finding it amusing. “I’ve seen you blush and get flustered by hot guys” She was never a good wingman.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Damien watched looking amused seeing Artemis’s reaction to him asking for her to stop by the Nadiya’s pleasure house without her knowing the context or the reason why. He was having fun seeing her freak out a little after he said it, with her saying that she didn’t swing that was. “I know you aren’t” Damien was still finding it amusing. “I’ve seen you blush and get flustered by hot guys” She was never a good wingman. It took a while for Artemis to figure out what he was meaning, he never made much sense when he had a few too many drinks. Not getting to the point so quickly. “It’s not so bad of a place, there’s kinda a back part to the place that's like a normal home” It was a home away from home to him in a way. Whenever he wanted to get away from the Ailward manor, he would head straight there. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He was now starting to sober up. Artemis’s cooking had filled him up, soaking up the alcohol in his system. She always used to be the one who helped to sober him up after a drinking session in the past. That he used to often joke that she was his sponsor. Making sure that he wouldn’t do anything stupid. In this case now it was to stop him from having a hangover in the morning. “Protein shakes are just a money making thing but there's guards who use it to build up muscle and strength” For himself eating food wasn’t so important just as long as he has enough blood he’s fine. He always can make an exception to Artemis’s cooking. “So what do you do these days?” He wondered looking over to Artemis with all of their talking so far, he’d almost forgotten to ask about what she was doing. Not wanting for it all to be about him and then the Ailwards all of the time. He may or may not know a little from asking Cora or hearing some of the few others talking but he knew that he’d be able to find out properly from Artemis herself. “Or has something happened in your love life, are you seeing anyone?” He grinned, shooting her a wink trying to tease the Celestial knowing that he hated to speak about her love life and that she was always shy like that.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Of course, Damien would pretend to be hurt. It slightly amused the Celestial; it just seemed like something one of them would do; if the other one made such a comment towards the other one. It was just how they rolled. Not minding the banter. It reminded her of the past. Things felt simple again...even if for a bit. “Very funny.” Artemis mused at his comment about living in a manor full of Ailwards.…</span></p>

It reminded her of the past. Things felt simple again...even if for a bit. “Very funny.” Artemis mused at his comment about living in a manor full of Ailwards.<a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/51f70bf0ddfeb0ba053a4b0274410320/tumblr_inline_ntlu0eXTkZ1qlt39u_250.gifv" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/51f70bf0ddfeb0ba053a4b0274410320/tumblr_inline_ntlu0eXTkZ1qlt39u_250.gifv?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right"/></a> He wasn’t wrong though. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trying to wipe her mind off the current thoughts, the celestial sensed that Damien caught onto her mind wandering. Feeling grateful as he changed the subject, but he soon confused the fallen star. As she was about to take a sip of her own coffee, she raised an eyebrow at Damien. Was he kidding? “I...I don’t swing that way.” Not sure if he was hinting at her, to come to a pleasure house for the women or he just mis-said something and confused the heck out of her. Not to mention, that poison pleasure house, sounded like it was something dangerous? Not sure what to think, until Damien explained himself. Now feeling a bit silly.”Oh.” Biting her bottom lip, she looked slightly emmbrassed. “Sounds like a bit of a strange place for a woman to hung out.” Well...unless you worked there or owned it. But for the Celestial to visit, it wasn't her usual place on the map to visit. But she supposed it wouldn’t harm her, if she visited Damien there, right? Especially if she didn’t feel like being in a large manor with the entire Ailward faction.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Truth to be told, she did miss this...this banter and good old days of friendship. Did she miss having Damien around, whether she was ready to admit it out loud or not. He did always know how to cheer her up, when things got her down. Or just generally get on her nerves, without meaning to. But that’s what friends sometimes did, right? Hearing about his diet and munchies, it sounded like the old days. Just snacking on light food, rather than eating something proper and substantial. Maybe it was a Valkyr habit. Who knows. “I don’t know how some people could be like that. I’d miss the food, if I lived off protein shakes.” But she supposed that kind of diet worked for some people, unlike herself. Helping herself to some bread, she put it in the toaster. Making herself some toast. Artemis was feeling a little peckish. Not too hungry, to have a full plate full of food like Damien. But just a few pieces of toast would do her, good. As she waited for Damien to come out with an answer, he for once didn’t give a silly answer like she might have expected. “You’re welcome. I’ve always loved cooking, I suppose.” A trait she never lost. Even her fellow stars always loved her cooking; especially her roast dinners that could feed an army. Artemis always took pleasure in her food and the joy it brought to people, if they enjoyed it.</span></p> Trouble was something that me…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-07-29:6610746:Comment:4286292021-07-29T21:57:06.645Z✓ Damien Verlac ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/DamienVerlac
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trouble was something that meant the opposite for people like them. In a way it was a good thing. An occurrence that happened so often was normal. That trouble followed any of them wherever they went. Whether it be supernatural or just people getting up to no good. Mostly these days the Valkyr manages to stay out of trouble.

That trouble followed any of them wherever they went. Whether it be supernatural or just people getting up to no good. Mostly these days the Valkyr manages to stay out of trouble. Finding that if he does find himself in a spot of trouble normally there's another Ailward involved. Especially when alcohol too was in the mix. “You wound me little star” He pretended to feel hurt placing his hand to where his unbeaten heart was. Too scrunching up his nose a little. “Living in a manor full of Ailwards” Damien sniggered a little before chuckling, still he was feeling too drunk to think of a better comeback. </span></p>

Not realising at first that he was talking about something that is tabo or it should be. Maybe it was that seeing Artemis was being back memories and bit notaglia. All of the good things that happened once ago. Damien bit the inside of his cheek knowing that he should stay quiet and not talk about a specific Aspect anymore. The Valkyr quickly thought of something else to talk about but the Celestial thought it was him being drunk. “You should come over to Nadiya's place, Poison Pleasure House. If you want to go somewhere that’s not here or at your star castle” He rattled on. His choice of words was poor without an explanation involved, forgetting for a moment that she wouldn’t have a clue what he was talking about. That he just asked her about going to a brothel instead of saying the correct term of his adoptive mothers place. “Wait, wait… wait” He started to explain himself. “I don’t mean in that way. The person who owns it I’m close to. Sometimes I work behind the desk or have my own space there if I want to escape this place for a bit” Some people thought it was weird getting close to Valkyr who turned him but they had a mother-son relationship. Who knew them, it makes sense but he was probably sounding crazy right now. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You love it really” He grinned letting her know that they were stuck with each other for better or for worse. Knowing each other better than they know themselves at times. Making the Valkyr realise how much he missed having Artemis around. “I normally just raid the cupboards for crisps or chocolate” To have some munchies especially if he’d had any of Virideus’s stash of homemade weed. Soon as he mentioned that some people didn’t know their way around the kitchen he could see how puzzled Artemis was. “It’s simple really, some just live and breathe coffee or protein shakes and snacks” He himself never got into any of that stuff preferring real food over just shakes and smoothies. Preferring something substantial and real. “Thank you” Smiling as he was handed a large cup of coffee which looked so good right now. Damien didn’t know what to say when Artemis said he looked old enough to be his mother knowing that she was waiting for him to say something wrong like usual. “Well no but you have this motherly attitude to you” It was the glare and raising brows that did it. The Valkyr was sipping his coffee as he watched Artemis cooking up a storm in front of him. With a large plate of breakfast put in front of him. “Thank you. You always have been good at cooking” His cooking skills still haven’t gotten much better but she’d always managed to cook up so much delicious food. </span></p> Artemis knew that she cared t…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-07-04:6610746:Comment:4275782021-07-04T15:20:12.179Z✓ Artemitra Astrid Bluemoonhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/ArtemitraBluemoon
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Artemis knew that she cared too much; it was always one of her weaknesses in a way. Even when people hurt her, part of her still cared for them. As Damien spoke about Arwyn, at least one of them was trouble-free. As for Damien, Artemis didn’t fully believe him when he said he had kept out of trouble. Looking at him with a raised eyebrow. “Of course you haven’t.” Artemis muttered, clearly not believing him. Her eyes slightly rolling at his teasing smirk. He…</span></p>

Looking at him with a raised eyebrow. “Of course you haven’t.” Artemis muttered, clearly not believing him. Her eyes slightly rolling at his teasing smirk. He knew how to get under her skin, with his annoying tendencies. Just like the good old days. “If you haven’t been getting into trouble...what would you call it then?” She asked, curious. Waiting for what kind of an answer, Damien would come out with.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Those two could bicker like siblings, when they got at it. It was no different; Even though they hadn’t seen each other in a long while. At the talk of Ery, the Celestial bit the inside of her cheek. Yes, it did hurt her to know that the Aspect was getting worse. Their relationship had been complicated and confusing to most that had found out about it; sometimes to even herself. But she still cared<a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/95dbf217b789b8481cb8b1b3c435c1fc/tumblr_inline_ntludlNmNN1qlt39u_250.gifv" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/95dbf217b789b8481cb8b1b3c435c1fc/tumblr_inline_ntludlNmNN1qlt39u_250.gifv?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right"/></a> for Ery. That wouldn’t change, despite the chaos that had happened between their people. It bothered her, that he was sinking down so low; but she tried not to let it show...or she wouldn’t hear enough about it from Damien. But somehow, it didn’t surprise her that Ery had been drinking himself to a pulp the way he had; things had been bad from what she had heard from Cora and Ven, and on occasion when Ery mentioned a few things here and there. “I suppose that’s his choice then.” Artemis avoided eye contact, as she was pottering around the kitchen, keeping herself busy rather than thinking about the chaos that was around in her life.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Of course, Damien knew her better than that. “I hate how you know me so well.” Artemis muttered under her breath slightly. Even if she had a high wall up in front of her; he could see right through it. She did miss him. It reminded him, off their better days before things went to pot. As Damien mentioned toast, Artemis nodded slightly. “I am not sure, that toast will be enough to stop that hang-over.” But she would include some toast with bacon and eggs and pancakes. As he mentioned that some of the guards were confused about where things were in the kitchen, she shook her head. “How is that possible? They live here. Surely they don’t need a map for the kitchen.” she said jokingly. Hearing his request for coffee, Artemis poured out the freshly brewed coffee into a large mug, with <a href="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/dc/fd/24/dcfd24c189186558e05f60c6b2e6343b.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/dc/fd/24/dcfd24c189186558e05f60c6b2e6343b.jpg?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="190" class="align-left"/></a>some milk before passing it to Damien. Raising an eyebrow at his question. “Do I look like I am old enough to be your mother?” she questioned, before giving him a warning look not to say anything insulting. No, she wasn’t giving Nadiya a run for her money; she was doing what any good friend would have done. Look out for a hung-over friend. Soon enough the scent of cooking filled the kitchen as the Celestial got to work. Making fried eggs with bacon, on a separate pan she was making pancakes. Putting some bread in the toaster; soon enough the toaster dung, springing out some freshly made warm toast. Once the eggs and bacon were done, Artemis put it on a plate and in front of Damien; before she carried on with making the pancakes. The butter and cutlery was also out in front of the Guard, so he didn’t have to wander far in case he lost balance with his drunk self.</span></p> When he had a little bit too…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-01-31:6610746:Comment:4240702021-01-31T19:48:08.266Z✓ Damien Verlac ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/DamienVerlac
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When he had a little bit too much to drink he was more irritating than normal. Not knowing what a filter was. Years back it used to get him into quite a bit of trouble to say the least. Getting into bar brawls with whoever decided to pick up a fight with him.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When he had a little bit too much to drink he was more irritating than normal. Not knowing what a filter was. Years back it used to get him into quite a bit of trouble to say the least. Getting into bar brawls with whoever decided to pick up a fight with him. In the past he used to flirt or kiss someone who was taken then the boyfriend would take a swing at him. Then he would react like anyone else would. To go in for the fight. Ending up in him either being chucked out of the bar or ending up in jail for the night until he sobered up. Normally he managed to use Bexley to bail him out. It hadn’t happened to him in quite a while. Ever since he got back with Arwyn. With the Lycanthrope keeping him out of trouble but it hadn’t kept him from his drinking habits. Which Artemis’s now is seeing for herself. “Arwyn likes to keep out of trouble” Lately it seemed like whenever he consumed too much it would be when he was out drinking with either Ertytherus or Dominic. He would say that they were bad influences to him but he was just as bad choosing to go with them. “I haven’t been up to trouble lately, I’ll have you know” He shot the Celestial a teasing smirk. Knowing she knew what lengths of trouble any of the Ailwards gets up to. That she’d seen it happen first hand and had once been so used to. It was heartbreaking to see alcohol going for waste like that. </span></p>

One thing that continued to confuse them all were Erytheuru’s drinking habits “I think it’s gotten worse in the past few years” He pointed out truthfully, knowing the celestial once cared for or even loved the Aspect of Darkness at one point. That she probably doesn't want to know what he gets up to these days when he has a bit too much to drink. Damien choose to stay quiet, yawning a little feeling a bit tired. Not knowing what the time was not boring to fiddle about in his pockets to find his phone that would most likely be dead. Having a habit of not charging it until it was dead which was bad if he needed to be reached. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You know you love it really” He teased, grinning, knowing that she had missed him even if she wasn’t going to say it outloud. Always knowing how to annoy her but she knew took any of it to heart. People were used to how he was by now along with when he was a bit tipsy too. Normally he never bothers to eat anything after coming in late at night from the bar. Yet always having a hangover in the morning because of it. “I normally have toast in the morning” Damien could understand what she was trying to do so he could avoid having a bad hangover in the morning. Most people would leave him be but the Valkyr knew how persistent the celestial could be. Damien could see that he managed to make her laugh with his vomit free comment. He just continued to sit there watching as she was walking around the kitchen finding all what she needed. His drunk self wasn’t taking much notice to watch ingredients she was picking up. “Believe me there are some guards who still are confused about where things are in the kitchen” Making a sly comment but pointing out the truth but it mostly was the gadgets that confused them the most. “I’ll have coffee with some milk please” He lived and breathed coffee like everyone else but he was one of the few who didn’t take it black even when he was drunk or hungover. Moments later a glass of water and some painkillers were placed in front of him for him to take. “Are you trying to give Nadiya a run for her money?” He teased her softly to how she was mothering him almost, looking after his drunk self whilst everyone else kept away. </span></p> The Celestial rose a slight e…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-01-08:6610746:Comment:4232002021-01-08T15:00:41.907Z✓ Artemitra Astrid Bluemoonhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/ArtemitraBluemoon
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Celestial rose a slight eyebrow, as Damien began to compare himself and others when being drunk. Not looking impressed. It’s not like that, would talk him out of this situation. “At least, he has more sense than you...and doesn’t drink himself into oblivion like you do.” pointing out one difference between him and Arwyn. It seemed like she wasn’t the only one that was trying to set Damien on a better path, hearing how his fellow guard member Bexley, was…</span></p>

It seemed like she wasn’t the only one that was trying to set Damien on a better path, hearing how his fellow guard member Bexley, was the one that usually brought him back to reality, like she was <a href="https://criticalpopcorn.files.wordpress.com/2019/05/wellgroomedrewardingiriomotecat-size_restricted.gif?w=388&h=218" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://criticalpopcorn.files.wordpress.com/2019/05/wellgroomedrewardingiriomotecat-size_restricted.gif?w=388&h=218&profile=RESIZE_710x" width="230" class="align-right"/></a>attempting right now. “Good. You need more sponsors, to get your drunk butt out of trouble.” Not blinking, when he complained about the booze going to waste, as she emptied the bottle out of the window. “Trust me, you’ll thank me later...when you recover..” Well, here’s to hoping he would. But it was good for him. Whether he wanted to believe it or not. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tilting her head, in slight confusion at his drunken slur. Artemis shook her head. “No, it’s not!” But she couldn’t help but look slightly amused. His drunk come-back, was a bit amusing. But she chose to ignore his warnings. There was no way, that she would be leaving him in such a state. No one would appreciate being left like that, despite him being a pain in the ass. It wasn’t her, to leave someone like that. Past or no past. “I don’t even want to know how he has such a high tolerance. It’s scary.” The Celestial muttered honestly. Ery’s alcohol tolerance would floor anyone. And some might find it impressive, she on the other hand found it worrying. Hearing Damien’s quip, she raised a slight eyebrow. Not looking so impressed, with his smug look. Squinting at him, slightly. “That’s nothing to be proud of.” she uttered, shaking her head at the Ailward Guard.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Out of all the places to run into Damien; The Celestial didn’t think it would turn out like this, him bringing his drunk ass back to the manor. Suppressing an eye roll, The Celestial sighed slightly. “I see, you’re still as annoying as ever.” she shook her head, hiding her amusement. Whether or not she wanted to admit it, Damien had amused her often, but more times than not; he did manage to get on her nerves with annoying comments. “You can sleep afterwards, right now...your body needs to absorb some of the alcohol in your system, so you don't have a major hang-over in the morning.” Or well, it’d still be major. But she might help him in some ways, by lessening it, with some food. Shaking her head, at his vomit comment. “Mhh, let’s hope you can keep your record then.” she said with a slight laugh. Deciding to go for some eggs and bacon, along with pancakes. Artemis had pulled out the needed ingredients...setting them on the counter in front of her. “It’s a kitchen Damien, not a maze.” Artemis muttered, as she heard his comment. But she had been here in the Ailward Kitchen a few times with Cora, so it’s not like she was a stranger to where things were. Putting on the coffee maker, she glanced over at him. “How do you take your coffee?” Coffee being one of the few things, that helped people when drunk. She then pulled out some pain killers from her purse...setting the packet and a glass of water in front of Damien. Whether or not he wanted it, it’d come in useful, to fight a head-ache. With that, the Celestial began to make the pancake mix.</span></p> It was an often occurrence fo…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-12-28:6610746:Comment:4229372020-12-28T14:41:32.192Z✓ Damien Verlac ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/DamienVerlac
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It was an often occurrence for a guard member or Aspects alike to stumble back into the manor late at night or early hours of the morning. Mostly after a late night drinking session. Then the next day they’d all be paying for it with the hangovers that was to come.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It was an often occurrence for a guard member or Aspects alike to stumble back into the manor late at night or early hours of the morning. Mostly after a late night drinking session. Then the next day they’d all be paying for it with the hangovers that was to come. He used to just make it to one of the couches in the lobby of the manor then just sleeping it off. People were all used to it by now but it seemed like Artemis didn’t get the memo or forgot what he was like. “It wouldn’t be the first time he’d seen it. You should see when he’s drunk. He becomes extra needy and clingy.” He pointed out almost so smugly that he’s not the worst one of the bunch when it came to drunks. It never took many drinks before Arwyn would become drunk how his drinks level wasn’t like his own. That he’d often tease him for being a light weight and not able to handle his alcohol. That he’s still a young pup. Damien tried reaching for the bottle of booze before feeling his hand being slapped away from grabbing it. With Artemis thinking fast. “You sound like Bexley when she tries to be my sponsor” Sighing almost. The ones who try to cut him off the booze never do it gently. Damien watched in horror as the Celestial poured the rest of his bottle of booze away out of the window onto the ground below. “What a waste” Still gasping that anyone like him would be like seeing it all go to waste whilst him and others always savour all of the contents. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/4e5784740bc7cdec844ad6fac7269b90/tumblr_inline_ptb2u3AEvw1w59d50_400.gifv" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/4e5784740bc7cdec844ad6fac7269b90/tumblr_inline_ptb2u3AEvw1w59d50_400.gifv?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-left"/></a>“Owns or lives in one same thing” Even though they weren’t he was too drunk to think of anything else. “You can always leave me that what everyone else does, so don’t waste your time with me” Warning her off, thinking he didn’t need her help whilst in reality he does but never want to admit that he’s not able to handle his booze all of the time. “I don’t know how that guy does it, he’s so old but he’s able to put people on the floor when it comes to drinking” Still in disbelief of the Aspect when it came to drinking. “Don’t worry I can’t die from drinking too much, if it was true that would have happened a long time ago” He commented sarcastically looking a bit smug even when it’s something not to be proud of. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He had missed her that was for sure but before he’d never found the courage to seek her out or any other celestials at that after all that happened. Damien was too ashamed of himself and that he played a part in it all. That the people he had hurt wouldn’t be able to accept his apologies, he wouldn’t blame them either. So he kept his distance, thinking that was the best thing he could do. Though he had noticed how there were some others in the manor who celestials have started to forgive. That not everyone is able to hold grudges forever. Whenever had a bit too much to drink he’d find himself saying things with no filter, that include trying to flirt. “Arwyn and Erythreus never complains” He teased, shooting her a smirk to annoy her a little like the old days. “But I just want to sleep.” Trying to protest almost not at the stage to eat food, but he had forgotten to eat before they went out like usual. It seemed like with all his protesting that Mitra hadn’t given up on him, even trying to help him up. Damien had helped her trying to get on his own but trying not to trip over his own feet. “Don’t worry I’ve been vomit free since 93” Smirking proudly as they made their way to the kitchen which wasn’t so easy. Somehow Mitra managed to make it to the kitchen ordering him to sit in one of the bar stools. Damien tried to balance his drunk ass on one of the stools. The Valkyr watched as the Celestials raided the fridge and cupboards. “You know your way around the kitchen, huh?” He chuckled softly almost saying how he’d noticed her in and around the manor even when she didn’t notice he was around. </span></p>
