Thread: An Empty Nest (N7Biotic & Spirit)

While they couldn't talk very loudly or about anything they actually wanted to talk about, it was still a rather nice ride to work. Most of the time, Casantiolth spent her time on the train reading or just staring out the window with a stranger sitting next to her, but today, she had a nice, and slightly hard to hear, conversation with a friend. Even though they couldn't do anymore dragon talk, it was just nice having him near. Someone she could bond with over something that was too risky to bond over with anyone else. They talked about everything and nothing all at once, and Casantiolth probably would have enjoyed it for hours if neither of them had to leave. Once he left, Casantiolth felt a tinge of loneliness as she waved to him. She still smiled though and it's felt like a century since she's smiled so much. Casantiolth couldn't wait to see him again. Work was as uneventful as usual. Her job required little magic to be used, mostly to work and move a few small things here and there so she wouldn't have to stop using her hands for sewing. It was tedious work for little pay, but her day went by a lot more pleasantly. Her co-workers seemed to notice her change in behavior too and ask what had made her so happy today. She simply let them know she met a friend while waiting on the train and it seemed to be enough for them. Casantiolth couldn't stop thinking about Sullivan and ended up stabbing her fingers more often then usual, but luckily she had thick skin and the needle only managed to leave little scratches behind. They only really stopped for short breaks and their lunches breaks which were just short breaks with food and tea, but Casantiolth worked harder then usual in hopes of being able to get to the train station faster. They must of done well, because the boss told them they were free to leave at a rather early time for her. The whole work day seemed to go by quickly, much quicker then usual, but Casantiolth wasn't one to complain. She said goodbye to all her co-workers and excitedly made her way back to the station. The train ride back was more or less the usual affair. Crowds and lots of talking, but for some reason there was magic dust every where and she swore some got on her dress when she sat down, but luckily it was rather easy for it to come off when she got up. When it was time for her to leave, a bunch of others were getting off at the same stop as her, so it took her a minute to make it off the train. It was nearly six when she finally made it and she quickly looked around to see if Sullivan was waiting for her. She noticed the magic dust was all over the station too and wondered who had all this dust on them, but it really didn't matter. It took her a minute to finally see Sullivan waiting where they first spoke once the crowds started to become less clustered. Casantiolth waited a moment for the train station to clear before making her way too him. When she was close enough, Casantiolth greeted him sweetly, Hell again stranger. She teased playfully before noticing the magic dust on him. Casantiolth giggled softly and dusted off his shoulder playfully as she spoke, So you were the one who got dust everywhere. She teased with another giggle.
