Finding Home (Ophelia and Katrina) COMPLETED

It was almost coming up to the third year the celestials had spent in Evermore city and while Ophelia still often held her breath, things with the Ailward's had reached somewhat of a stalemate, neither side wanting to make the first move against one another and yet she still found herself on edge, she hated feeling like her whole world could implode in a matter of moments. To keep her mind off the fact that she felt like a prisoner in her own home the Wayfinder had been slowly changing the interior design of the castle, working to make it feel less like an empty shell and more like home.

So far she had fully replaced the furniture in the communal area to look more modern and gotten help to have internet and a large TV and surround system installed too. Ophelia wasn't much for technology herself, much preferring the simpler life she had known through her years but like the wind, change would come and go and if you didn't move forward then you got left behind. Besides she was sure the younger celestials would appreciate having more to do than read their way through the pretty extensive castle library.

The chandeliers had been replaced with more focused and ambient lights and by this point, the castle was looking much more like the homes she saw in magazines than the old dated building it had been when the celestials had arrived. Ophelia was proud of what she and some of the others had achieved, perhaps it was small in the grand scheme of things they needed to do but it was a step towards some level of normality and normality was all she wanted right now, the celestials had lived their entire lives running or trapped and all she could ever ask for them was peace and the change to exhale at least for a few moments.

The weekend had rolled around once again and right now the room was all but empty with but a few white sheets lining the floors. At the edge the room sat a massive bucket of light blue paint and Ophelia, dressed in possibly the most sloppy outfit she had worn in her entire life. There were spots of paint all over the clothes and they were pretty much entirely ruined but Ophelia was humming away as she painted the walls. It was pretty early morning and considering that most of the celestials tended to be night owls she figured that it would give her a few hours to work on all the things she wanted to without being interrupted.

When the Wayfinder, however, heard footsteps from down the hall however Ophelia quickly scaled down the latter she had climbed atop and yelled to warn the person to be careful but before the words could get out the bucket paint was already toppling over.

Katrina smiled at her the conversation between them flowed so naturally and so friendly between the two of them. It was nice to have a friendship with someone, quiet seemed to be her life, living it on her own as not to bother others by her eternity of life, her loneliness was not in the sense of lack of companionship as with her work she was always busy. But friends, true people who knew her it was nice.

"True, I'm fortunate and I know it. I guess I just believe others should as well. But whatever makes you happy in life." She noted as she ran a few fingers through her hair, playing with its strands before noting her momentarily. When she spoke of her family she seemed to be well in thought with it all.

"Well, I am glad they were able to provide that sense of... family for you. I can't speak highly of such, but many humans had treated me with kindness at that time, giving me lots of information. Teaching me lots of things that I needed to survive this world." She said with a nod of her head as she thought back on her past. How times had changed, for the better though.

"Oh yes, we will, I promise! It was so much fun part of me doesn't want it to end. This kind of bond has not been frequent in my life, but I feel we are going to become the best of friends, or at least I hope so. Keeping me full of excitement about everything." She said as she was practically jumping with joy.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, I can't appreciate it enough, and it will be so much fun to get to know each other more." She urged herself a bit closer, gently grabbing her hands and holding it softly, she didn't know if the other celestial was a hugger and didn't want to approach their goodbyes on terms that might not befitting.

“Make the most of that fortune, you never know when you’re going to need it” she advised with a slight nod of her head before she tucked the pie away into the fridge once more “I think in their very nature people want to be good, and that’s enough” she nodded a few times, of course there were people who did bad things but they always seemed to be a result of the life they lead and the things they were taught. She didn’t believe anyone was born evil.

She brightened at the realization she had made a new friend today, she didn’t get to spend time with the other celestials always but when she had the chance to, she enjoyed learning their stories and being someone they could rely on for friendship and a friendly ear “Don’t worry, I’m sure there will be plenty more where this came from” she laughed, she imagined people wouldn’t be able to shut them both up when they really got talking.

Ophelia looked down at the hands she took and then up to her and smiled, it was a little bit emotional, getting to know someone who was like her for the first time, there was a certain kind of kinship that came from both being the same species and having similar stories. She nodded her head and smiled softly “Have a good night Katrina and enjoy your new home, I hope you’ll have good memories here” and with that she headed off, smiling at her over her shoulder as she headed into the corridor that led to her room.

Katrina smiled as the woman put the pie away and she watched her carefully as she worked and smiled at her. Knowing that it was coming to an end seemed almost hard to believe.

Katrina was never one for goodbyes but she knew she would see more of the wonderful woman. They would see be living under the same roof, Katrina knew she always had a busy schedule because of her work but it would be incredible to if the time to speak with her.

"I'm certain I will have many more memories here that are wonderful. And like you said we will hang out more in the future." With that she watched as she seemed different about Katrina holding the woman's hands.

Letting them go she smiled and watched as she smiled and wished her goodnight. With a nod of her head she grinned and couldn't help but smile and have an aching sadness their evening was over.

"Thank you, you as well." She said before heading out of the building knowing that soon that would be her new home.
