WHO: Veronica & Noel
WHERE: Coffee shop in Eptos to start
WHAT'S HAPPENING: Coffee and talking
WHEN: late afternoon
RATING: TBD
Veronica already had a hard enough time controlling her ability. It was easy enough to focus to make others feel a specific emotion. It took a lot of concentration, but it was something she did often. Too many times people arrived at the Elysium seeking help, scared of what they were running from. Veronica could always console them. But to feel what others were feeling? Take it in and internalize it? That had always been hard to turn off. It was a part of Veronica and she had come to accept it. Through meditation and practice, she had managed to get by all of these years. But as everyone was feeling panicked and stressed at the same time, Veronica couldn't control it. She felt everything. All that pain, all that fear. It was suffocating. So when Noel helped her out by remaining calm and letting her take in that calm, Veronica was eternally grateful. She never knew how she could repay him for that.
So when he invited her to coffee, Veronica was more than happy to make time to head over to Noel's part of Eptos. Although Noel offered Veronica protection after she first started using the Elysium for more activities than just the basic club scene, she hadn't pursued much as way of friendship with him. It wasn't anything against him as a person, Veronica was just naturally a bit more closed off than most women. Her life had been pretty limited to her brother and the few close friends she had working at the Elysium with her. But now she was curious. Especially at how he was able to stay so calm for her during a time that was difficult for everyone.
They planned for when school had ended and she arrived a little early to the café. She took a seat at a table near the window, and pulled out a book to wait for him.
