<p style="text-align: center;">Olivia was beyond conflicted then she would imagine she would be as she left the home of the most complicated man she had possibly ever encounter. everything Olivia stood for now was to help people rebuild their lives and vanquish their demons. but for some reason this man was so against help that Olivia finally understood what they meant by you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped.

As she walked through the city, the sun was creeping up on the horizon, it was peaceful out and the immortal brunette took the time to think about the evening she had. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It was complicated and she had somewhat blamed herself for coming on to strong with her advocacy, she replayed the whole night in her mind and tried to peace together what went wrong. Her stroll through the woods was everything she needed to clear her heard and finally come to terms with that fact that Olivia had planted the seed of help for Rhydian and if he wanted it he could go to the center and apply for it. Until then Olivia could only hope that the man found some sort of peace and find it soon,</p> Rhydian raised an eyebrow as…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-03-31:6610746:Comment:4035392020-03-31T19:36:14.788Z✓ Ronan Wintershttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/joediamond

<p>Olivia slammed her coffee cup on his counter, the hot liquid spilling out and the ceramic mug broke in two, she felt nothing but absolute rage fill her always calm demeanor and she slowly turned and her soft gaze was now dark and menacing. “ Pardon?...” she took a couple steps and placed herself in his like of vision. “ so because i was born in a different time period then you what i went through is in no comparison? Not valid enough?” Olivia rose her voice. Something that was so out of character for her, but his response made her snap and lose any and all patience. “ how can I live!? Oh well it’s quite easy! As a matter of fact! You get the hell up and you live for Esmeralda and Vasili! You do what they couldn’t! “ she shouted and got right into personal space. “ you go out there and honor them! “ Her hazel eyes had burning tears that made her clench her fists. “ I live for Chase everyday, I honor him by doing everything he would want to do not only for me but for him... you sit here and wallow in a pathetic little pity party reeking In alcohol and self pity while two people who you love watch in the afterlife I’m utter disappointment!...” Olivia scoffed and shook her head. “ at least when i die I know that wouldn’t have been for nothing...” Olivia took one look at him and shook her head before swiftly turning away. <br/><br/>Olivia walked the dawn lit streets of the city fuming, her hand raked through her disheveled waves and she looked up at the lightening sky and closed her eyes finding her sanity before she did something reckless. Going home she ran a hot shower to ease away the prior days stresses, had her breakfast and made her way back to community center to start her day all over again. Olivia and her coworkers were setting up when a few of the early birds made their way in. Sorting through donations her mind was distracted with her annoyance towards him still. Sighing, tossing boxes, angrily clicking at her pen, snappier then usual Olivia had to go outside and just catch her breath </p> "One of a few when I'm doing…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-02-05:6610746:Comment:3994682020-02-05T23:45:10.899Z✓ Ronan Wintershttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/joediamond

Rhydian's mind began to flashback to each of there deaths before shaking it off as he sat on the lone seat</p>
<p><br/>"I grew up in a different time Olivia you wouldn't understand " he looked back at her dead in the eyes " Alcohol may do that, but it takes every bit of pain anger fear, and you don't feel the youths of today do not know the hardship " Rhydian gripped his seat as he looked . up at her " and how could you live when you everyone you loved or cared about dies " he voice was stern and sharp."</p>
<p><br/>Why do you care I'm just some guy that could not take a compliment " Rhydian stared at her as she made her way out as his markings turned icey blue as he formed two knife-shaped icicles throwing them hard at the wall as he paced the room trying to calm his self as he began to see the start of the sun glimmering on the horizon as he turned to his stereo turning on the easy listening that he always did as he sat on the f taking in the music as he began to control his breathing as he began to close his mind returning to the only place he could relax</p> Olivia stood up instantly a…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-01-03:6610746:Comment:3966432020-01-03T22:49:20.676Z✓ Athena Rosenberghttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/SURVIVOR

<p style="text-align: center;">Olivia stood up instantly a few seconds after he did it was a simple reaction of not wanting anyone to stand behind her that she didn't know, which was a reason why she was hesitant to follow him inside the sketchy doorway. Taking a few steps inside she looked around and protectively wrapped her arms around herself. Her eyes looking around what was his home, the walls, the furniture, the windows, making mental notes for an escape route. " you live here?..." She raised a skeptic eyebrow and walked over to the kitchen island and took the cup of coffee adding a lot of sugar and cream to it. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Looking over her shoulder as he picked up some coats and hanging them up she had an amused look over her features and held the cup of coffee. " I take it you don't get a lot of visitors over? " she smiled faintly and listened to him tell her things. Olivia sighed and set the mug down tucking her hair behind her ear. " Rhydian listen, not everything in this life is going to end badly... So why not just make the most of it? You can't always be this brooding self-loathing person... " Olivia gave him a stern look and shrugged her shoulders solemnly.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"Easy. Alcohol affects your judgment and motor skills... so the more you keep drinking the more your level of being in danger goes up. " Olivia spoke with finesse as she looked the man dead in the eye. " Awesome you can hold your own in a fight with a drunk Russian, so what, so can I... I can take you as well " she gave him an unimpressed look and pursed her lips. " I am not here to give you some bubblegum life advice, I am not here to help clean your wounds, I am here to tell you Rhydian... wake up. " she leaned in and slammed her hand on the counter. Standing straight she inhaled and slowly exhaled shaking her head. " I will see myself out... "</p>

<p>Rhydian picked up a couple of jackets placing them on the old coat hanger " you can have the bedroom if you wish " he walked into the dimly-light kitchen as he moved to the cups putting two . on the counter as he stopped " the last person that told me that ended up dead " Rhydian turned to the fridge as he opened it up " there is plenty of food if you get hungry " Rhydian touched the coffee maker quickly withdrawing his hand as he felt the heat knowing someone had been there recently as he poured two black coffees as he placed one on the bench milk and sugar in the canisters.</p>
<p>Rhydian walked to the sofa as he took a seat " and how do you know I won't be safe " he chuckled "I survived in many fights a lot more drunk in Russia, and when you annoy a Russian they let you know it " he raised his mug to his lips taking a gulp before placing the cup down he pulled his lighter as he lit the candles he used to meditate " and making my own advice I've tried that, and it never worked out "</p> Olivia looked over at him f…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2019-12-02:6610746:Comment:3937442019-12-02T21:32:25.479Z✓ Athena Rosenberghttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/SURVIVOR

<p>Olivia looked over at him from the corner of her eyes and shook her head as she huffed out some air, her hands being stuffed into the pockets of her jacket to keep them warm. " Yeah well you know what everything and everyone in this world can kill you so if we want to sit here in this whole cynical mood. Think about that..

" shaking her head she hummed while sitting on the edge of the roof. " You should really take your own advice you know.. "</p>
<p>Olivia tensed up at his kind gesture of giving her his coat, she simply glanced up at him and gave a little smile of appreciation." No, I live south of the city...I take the train as commute..." She brushed her hair out of her face and looked down letting out another famous light laugh. " Yeah well I am good at disappearing so even if I did toss it over the edge you couldn't find me.. " she smiled in a nonchalant manner and shrugged with a matter of fact attitude.

<p>Rhydian . began to count on his fingers how long he had been drinking since Esmeralda's death but counting the decades in his head so she couldn't hear he was much older then he looks " well put it this way I've been. drinking along time and many have given up trying to stop me what makes you think you could stop me drinking " Rhydian knew this time of night it would start getting colder as he took off his jacket as placing it carefully around her " do you live close to the rec centre " Rhydian turned his head towards Olivia " its not safe this time of night and excellent job you didn't spill that scotch else you will owe me a bottle of 8o-year-old scotch and that's a new one " he looked out to the skyline " I'm frequently called an ice chicken</p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Olivia brushed the hair away from her face as she stayed where she stood, watching the man before her with a concerned gaze, not daring to move until he showed some sort of sign that he was with her. When he spoke Olivia knew he was present and with that she didn’t speak a word only listened to him. Met his gaze each time he looked at her nodding slightly to let him know she was listening. Sitting down on a old chair Olivia frowned it wasn’t pity or anything of the sort, it was relation. She knew the feeling he was trying to convey because she endured the pain of watching someone you loved die before you at the hand of another. Olivia swallowed at the way he described death a feeling she was all to familiar with, blinking back tears afraid to show any emotion when this was about him and not her. Looking down she licked her lips and squeezed her eyes closed before clearing her throat.</span></p>
<p class="p2"></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">Standing she joined him on the bench and rubbed her hands over her thighs, looking up as the day began to take over more and more, she glanced over at him. “ Listen I- I get it, all of it... I do, i watched chase die, I died that day. And now... I have this life... “ she sighed, watching him turn to a cigarette and alcohol before she stood and reached into her coat pocket. “ here, it’s my number... you use it when you want to okay? I’m not going to force you to come to the rec center but I think you can get some good from it...” she moved to stand in front of him and took the flask from him and replaced it with her card. “ this and that thing in your mouth aren’t the answer we both know it...”</span></p>
<p class="p2">Olivia opened the flask and took a whiff before shaking her head and was tempted to dump it. “ I should just dump this against your will...” taking a small sip while waving her finger at him. “ make you quit cold turkey... but that’s mean and I would know cause it was done to me, worst 72 hours of my life.” She laughed at the memory before handing the flask back and looking around at the city below watching it come to life. </p> Roman sent his goons my frien…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2019-09-21:6610746:Comment:3860812019-09-21T23:21:53.180Z✓ Ronan Wintershttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/joediamond
