I walk into the greenhouse. I love it in here since it's never too cold and never too hot. Always comfortably warm... for me that is. Plus it's beautiful with all the plants and flowers. Another plus is that it's never busy in here, ever. I guess not too many people want to be in here at once since it would make it hotter. I sit down on the ground, cross my legs in a yoga pose and close my eyes to try and relax in the peaceful environment.

cecilia ((M'kay, finally here ^^))
Gabe had been taking a break--though he wouldn't admit it, it was a much needed one, too--and eventually decided to head for the greenhouse. It was relaxing enough for him, making it easy to cool down a little before he leaped right back into rigorous training. After he'd gotten used to the routine, Gabe had found he actually enjoyed training; it gave him something to do. Often, he would find himself bored if he didn't have training. What was there to do with life if there wasn't to get better? So, slipping into the greenhouse silently as not to disturb Violet, Gabe felt himself relaxing already.

I sigh as I hear someone come in. Because it is so still and I am so focused, even the slightest noise could disturb me. I swear I can smell his cologne already. I open my eyes and look at him slowly. "Hey, Gabe."

sol | 447 comments ((lol, don't worry :) ))


message 6: by cecilia (new)

cecilia ((XD. I'm trying to come up with realistic 1x1 ideas... you have any?))
Gabe exhaled slowly, crossing his arms across his chest lazily. "Hey," he said with a faint smile, greeting. "Sorry for disturbing you. I'll be gone in a few minutes; just had to get some fresh air." He knew she probably didn't want him around; and he didn't want to stick around up here if she didn't want him to, so he offered the chance early.


message 7: by sol, Touching Jace's Mango (new)

sol | 447 comments ((hmmm... Maybe two best friends on the run from a weird ass corporation who wants them dead?))
{Vi}
"No," I say somewhat abruptly. "I mean, you can stay as long as you'd like. I don't mind." I add, rubbing the back of my neck a little nervously. I didn't know if he knew what I'd done, but if he did he wasn't bringing it up, for which I was grateful.


message 8: by cecilia (new)

cecilia ((Hmmm... :) thanks :) ))

Gabe arched an eyebrow, but said nothing on Violet's nervous manner. He'd approach it in a few moments, when she was more likely to answer, not right now when she was clearly worked up. "If you're fine with it," he said after a moment, giving her a reassuring smile.


message 9: by sol, Touching Jace's Mango (new)

sol | 447 comments ((you could elaborate of course haha!))
"I'm okay with it." I assure him. It's nice having someone around who wasn't judging you for something you honestly didn't mean to do... Well, he would be judging me once he found out, but for now it was okay.


message 10: by cecilia (new)

cecilia ((Obviously XD))
Gabe nodded after a moment, taking a seat on the ground next to a nice plant, mindlessly tracing the petals on the flower. "It's nice weather," he said, not even as an attempt for small talk, but rather an observation, in hopes of figuring out why Violet was up here.

"Yeah it is. I love it." I say in response. "So, how's Aura? I haven't seen her yet today." I ask him, closing my eyes again to relax.


message 12: by cecilia (new)

cecilia Gabe paused a moment, trying to remember when he'd last seen his sister. "I haven't seen her since last night. And at that point, we were all so tired that I couldn't tell you anything, I hardly remember it all." he noted with a shrug. "I'll see her eventually."


message 13: by sol, Touching Jace's Mango (new)

sol | 447 comments {Vi}
I smile slightly. "Yeah," I say. "How are you today?" I ask Gabe politely. I don't really know what else to say.


message 14: by cecilia (new)

cecilia Gabe offered a nonchalant shrug, running his fingers through his dark hair. "I'm well enough. Taking a break from training. So what's up with you today?" he asked curiously, arching an eyebrow.


message 15: by sol, Touching Jace's Mango (new)

sol | 447 comments {Vi}
"Well, I'm okay. I guess..." I say a little sadly. "Bri and I had a - We had a fight,"


message 16: by cecilia (new)

cecilia ((I'm going to bed. Soooo tired. Love you!))
Gabe arched an eyebrow, stretching his long legs out on the ground in front of him. "Really?" he mused, disbelief in his eyes. He'd never even heard them disagree for more than three seconds. A fight? She had to be kidding. "Wanna talk about it?"


message 17: by sol, Touching Jace's Mango (new)

sol | 447 comments ((night :) ))
"Yeah really," I mutter. "And I do but I don't. You know that feeling?" I ask him, opening my eyes once more.


message 18: by cecilia (new)

cecilia Gabe nodded after a moments thought. "I know the feeling," he agreed, sighing softly. He knew it all too well. "If you wanna talk, I'm here. Just keep that in mind."

((This time, off for real :3))


message 19: by sol, Touching Jace's Mango (new)

sol | 447 comments ((haha! same :) bai!))


message 20: by cecilia (new)

cecilia ((I'm back!))


message 21: by sol, Touching Jace's Mango (new)

sol | 447 comments ((OMG :[ Ughhhh too many RP's. Stupid fever is making me even more forgetful))

{Violet}
I really do wanna talk to someone. Rant to someone that is. Instead, I just nod and suck it up. "Thanks," I say.


message 22: by cecilia (new)

cecilia ((it's fine, love ^^))

Gabe offered a shrug, noting that she seemed to want to say something, but he wasn't sure what he should say to make her talk. So he didn't pressure it. "You're welcome; anytime."

"You don't know what happened this morning do you?" I blurt after a few minutes of silence.


message 24: by cecilia (new)

cecilia "No," Gabe admitted reluctantly, arching an eyebrow in her direction. "I was sleeping, for once, believe it or not. Wanna tell me about it?"


message 25: by sol, Touching Jace's Mango (new)

sol | 447 comments {Violet}
"Just-just promise to keep an open mind?" I say. "Sooo... Basically I'm having a pretty horrible day, right? But I'm trying not to let it show. And Bri and I are training, per usual." I start. "It's all good, until about ten minutes in. I... I don't know what got into me, I guess I had a break down or something. But I accidentally broke her arm. That's something I would never, ever do. Ever, to another Shadowhunter. I don't know why I did it, and now everyone hates me and everything is really shitty between Bri and I." I take a deep breath. "And I try to explain it to her, but I never got the chance and now I don't know if she'll ever talk to me again."


message 26: by sol, Touching Jace's Mango (new)

sol | 447 comments ((cece? ;_;))


message 27: by cecilia (new)

cecilia ((Doing homework v.v gimme a few minutes to finish up an ill post, promise!))


message 28: by cecilia (new)

cecilia "Open mind is what I do," Gabe said with a shrug as he listened to what she said. Broke Bri's arm? He'd been expecting minor stuff, not something that bad. Hearing what she had to say, it was almost heartbreaking, actually. She was trying to sound indifferent, but it wasn't working very well. "I'm sorry," he said after a moment, frowning slightly. Without thinking, he wrapped an arm loosely around her shoulders, hugging her gently. Girls liked hugs, right?


message 29: by sol, Touching Jace's Mango (new)

sol | 447 comments ((lolololo now i'm late responding xD and awww, i love him <3))

{Vi}
I hug him back. "Thanks for listening." I whisper, sadly. I'm not quite sure why he would hug me. I was expecting more of a Zander like reaction or something. Then again, he was probably thinking like that right now, but had the decency not to say anything.


message 30: by cecilia (new)

cecilia Gabe frowned slightly, tightening his arms around her tightly. He was just a tad bit overprotective, so he couldn't really help it. "Of course," he said quietly, rubbing her arm gently. "She'll get over it, you know that, right?"

((I luff him too :3))


message 31: by sol, Touching Jace's Mango (new)

sol | 447 comments ((haha ^-^ he's just so loveable gahhh))

{Violet}
"I don't know. She'll never fully trust me ever again, you know. She's my parabatai, and I hurt her. It's just not supposed to happen." I say sadly. Why do I always hurt the people I love? I did love Chris, but then he wanted things I didn't want.

cecilia ((I tend to make loveable guy charries ^^))

"She'll get over it," Gabe promised, letting his arm fall off her shoulders after a while. No one needed him to hug them too long, he knew that. "Don't blame yourself," he said after a moment. "Sometimes we do things we shouldn't have."


message 33: by sol, Touching Jace's Mango (new)

sol | 447 comments ((haha xD Vi didn't say that out loud by the way. If you want, I can have he say it though))


message 34: by cecilia (new)

cecilia ((fwahhhhh??? are you kidding me? this is what happens when I lose my glasses. I thought I got it right v.v lemme edit ^^))


message 35: by sol, Touching Jace's Mango (new)

sol | 447 comments ((haha, don't worry :3))

"Yeah, you're right," I nod. "Anyway. Let's move on to something else. Um... Did you here the rumour about someones idea on how to solve the problem? It's really stupid but seems to be the only interesting thing to talk about."


message 36: by cecilia (new)

cecilia ((I finished my homework! Finally! Lol!))

Gabe arched an eyebrow, shaking his head. "I haven't heard about it; care to tell me?" He inquired, tilting his head to the side slightly.


message 37: by sol, Touching Jace's Mango (new)

sol | 447 comments ((Yayy!!!))

{Violet}
"Well, apparently someone shared a not so great idea at the Clave meeting last week. He said that female Shadowunters should stop training and just... reproduce. To increase our numbers without using the Mortal Cup." I say. "It's probably the most idiotic idea in the history of ideas."


message 38: by cecilia (new)

cecilia Gabe actually laughed at that statement; it couldn't be true. "You're kidding me, right?" He asked, running his fingers through his hair. "They wouldn't do that; we need the girls fighting as much as the guys."

"I know..." I tap my index finger on my knee. "I don't know if its true though, I was going to ask my mom but today's probably not the best day to. Considering dad is scheduled to get back from Idris, and by now she knows what happened this morning. I'll probably just persuade Zander to ask." I say.


message 40: by cecilia (new)

cecilia "Manipulating your brother," Gabe teased with false disapproval. "Tsk, tsk, I expected better from you," a grin spread on his lips, a slight laugh following. "Though if he does ask, be sure to tell me the verdict."

I smile my first real smile of the day. "I will." I say with a nod. "Don't you love it in here?" I say suddenly, my eyes roaming the beautiful greenhouse. "It's magical."


message 42: by cecilia (new)

cecilia "It's beautiful," Gabe agreed, the fingers on one of his hands trailing down the petals on a flower. "I love coming up here at sunset. The light is gorgeous."


message 43: by sol, Touching Jace's Mango (new)

sol | 447 comments "Mmhmm." I stand up, brush off my pants, then start walking around the greenhouse. "My favourite flower is the midnight flower," I say. "Is it true that it smells like Idris in here? I was only a toddler the last time I was there, so I don't remember."


message 44: by cecilia (new)

cecilia After pausing a moment to inhale, trying to associate the smell with that of Idris--of course, she was right; it did smell like Idris--Gabe offered a nod. "Yeah, it smells exactly like Idris up here."


message 45: by sol, Touching Jace's Mango (new)

sol | 447 comments {Violet}
"Wow." I say with a smile. "Do you... Do you miss it there in Idris?" I ask him, a little hesitantly.


message 46: by cecilia (new)

cecilia "Only a little," Gabe said after a moment, stretching out on the ground with his arms behind his head. "Okay, a lot, but it's not so bad here."


message 47: by sol, Touching Jace's Mango (new)

I walk over to where he's lying on the ground, and lie next to him. "You should go and visit sometimes." I say.


message 48: by cecilia (new)

cecilia Gabe closed his eyes, soaking in the sun. "Maybe I will," he said mindlessly, though he doubted it. He'd never move back, not after he'd tasted diversity.

((Please forgive my highly despicable posts. I'm working on a billion other things v.v ))


message 49: by sol, Touching Jace's Mango (new)

sol | 447 comments ((haha. All my posts are despicable. I just don't have the patience to type so much in a post >.<))

{Violet}
I close my eyes, just enjoying the peacefulness of the moment. The sun shining down on me, warming my skin. The smell of the sweet flowers, the smell of springtime. The quietness in the room, just the sound of my breathing. And Gabe's of course. "This is nice. If every moment was like this one, life would be perfect."


message 50: by cecilia (new)

cecilia ((Lol, yeah. I'm so tired my posts are beyond their normal awful... c.v))

Gabe nodded in agreement. Honestly, his life would be perfect if he could spend every moment of it with the sun, a beautiful girl, and a greenhouse. Right?
