“Listen, I’m bored. Fagin left too many bottles of vodka within my reach, and I haven’t heard anyone in the house all night-”
Attina had come to the house looking for Rita, desperate for a girls’ night to clear her head. But she couldn’t argue with all of the spare bottles of booze. “Ah, fuck it. Pour me a glass.”
“so, i’ve got a big stack of movies, snacks for days in the kitchen, i made you a face mask for your skin type. oh! i almost forgot…” they’ll trail off before moving to hand the other a pair of fuzzy socks. “you might need these tonight, too. it can get very chilly in my livingroom.”
“Winnie, you’re a lifesaver, truly. My dry skin has been calling out for a face mask,” Attina crooned, a wide grin appearing across her lips. “I practically live in sweaters and fuzzy blankets, so these will be perfect! I don’t exactly do well with the cold,” Attina laughed, settling into a crook in the sofa.
“I don’t know what’s worst, eating by myself what could have been considered a feast. Or the fact that I watched six full episodes of a blind date show, and I think I got four of the six couples right“.
“There’s absolutely nothing wrong with indulging in great food and trashy TV shows every now and then,” Attina reasoned with a wide grin. “I feel like it’s cleansing in a way-- good for the soul.”

Maybe she should have just bought herself a bottle of wine or a case of beer. Anything would be preferable to reminders of the past. She had become accustomed to avoiding anyone that had known her in her younger years. Back before she had been hurt and morphed into the woman she was now. The woman who was an absolute expert as pushing people away and pissing them off. She took a deep breath and motioned towards the bar tender,“ Scotch, on the rocks.” Her head turned to look back towards Attina and she rolled her eyes,“ It’s a little too late for that, isn’t it?” It almost hurt to look at her old friend but she couldn’t show that. Instead she took a breath and leaned further over the bar,“ And whiskey.” She motioned towards Attina,“ Put it on my tab.” She mine as well try to be nice. At least, a little nice, right?“
Cautiously taking a seat next to the brunette, but keeping a barstool between them, the blonde was just relieved that the girl didn’t dismiss her completely. It had been months since she’d seen her around town, and even longer than that since the two had held a conversation together for more than a moment, and Attina couldn’t help but wonder how her old friend was doing. On her rare nights off, she’d contemplate going to the Snuggly Duckling, hoping to run into Megara, but decided to keep her distance. Still, as luck would have it, here she was at the Lounge on the one day she decided to come by early. “Thanks, you didn’t have to do that,” Attina said earnestly, graciously accepting the drink from the bartender. “So what brings you to the Lounge? I don’t exactly see you in here with the regulars,” she ventured to ask.

“There is no such thing as leaning too far— only that there isn’t enough!” The cafe owner reaffirmed with her own laugh. “Besides, no one can reprimand us for wanting to have cute photos of our cats. They are very adorable after all and we would only be bringing the world justice by wanting to take photos of them.” Cass then said, only to clap her hands together in delight. “So it’s agreed then? We’ll get together sometime and have some mommy and cat time? Wow, that sounds silly, but even so I can’t wait! It’ll be fun, I’m sure of it.”
“Very true-- and I’m sure all other pet owners in Carthay will understand!” Attina reasoned. Over half of her camera roll was just pictures of her cat, and she was certain that everyone else in town that had a pet was in a similar situation. “I mean, who can honestly say they don’t enjoy cute pictures of animals? Only monsters, that’s who.” Nodding firmly as they solidified their plans, Attina smiled brightly at the thought of it. “Sounds like a plan, I can’t wait either! I spend way too much time with my cat anyways, might as well use it as an excuse to get together and do something fun.”

“It is interesting; I feel like something different always seems to be coming my way through it. And it definitely could be worse, so I do appreciate it, for the most part,” Elsa explained with a small smile and a shrug. After another sip of wine, Elsa was starting to feel a bit warm, realizing she was beginning to share more than she normally did, though not in a bad way. “It probably wouldn’t have been my first choice, but I’m also so glad to keep my parents’ company going for them, you know what I mean?”
Taking another sip from her glass, Attina nodded, listening along as Elsa shared what it was like to run her family’s business. She couldn’t help but wonder how different her life would be if she had taken her father up on his offer to be his second in command. In her twenties, the mere thought of it seemed like a death sentence, but now she wasn’t so sure. “I understand that-- like keeping their legacy alive. What would have been your first choice, though? I mean, if you could do absolutely anything you wanted to.”

“How would that be a nightmare? You’d have knowledge on a bunch of different things and not just one!” she pointed out. “Hey! It’s not corralling… it’s just… watching! Hm, well,” she thought for a moment, taking another sip of the wine. “How about… Making him think Ariel and I ran away? Skipped town to live the nomad life.”
“But then how would you ever pick a career path? You at least need some kind of starting point, Andi, otherwise it would be even harder to choose,” she reasoned. Sure, it would be great to have all of that knowledge, but it would make job hunting anxiety inducing for the older girl. “Sure, we’ll go with watching if that makes you feel better. I think you might just give Sebastian a stroke if you pulled something like that,” Attina giggled, taking another sip of wine.

“Yeah. It makes you happy for the fact that you live right next to an ocean. Living in a colder state would suck too.” Boo shuddered. “I’m not envious of people who live in places like Illinois and Indiana.”
“I can’t complain with this view-- it’s downright magical,” Attina agreed. It was one of the main reasons she had bought a house in Sydney Way-- the ocean was just a walk away. “Can you imagine having to shovel snow in the winter? Nope, I don’t envy them at all.”

Meg grinned at her friend. “Yes, definitely, let’s do that,” she agreed. She’s happy Attina knows about the planes because if it were someone else, she’d definitely have a hard time explaining it. “I think it was flying over there,” she pointed towards a cluster of bushes, and started walking towards there.
Attina felt touched that Meg had let her in on her hunt for the paper planes flying around Carthay-- it honestly felt like something straight out of a movie, and the eldest Benson couldn’t have been more excited to help her friend find out where they were coming from. Following behind her, Attina asked, “You see anything?”

“It would be great if you could,” she huffed. “Mmmm, are you sure about that one?” she teased, before shaking her head. Attina definitely wasn’t the most boring when it came to her family, but she did like to tease. “You could always help me come up with a way to annoy Sebastian.”
“That would make things easier, but then life would be a nightmare for post-grads,” she quipped, offering the blonde a soft smile. “You mean something besides having to corral you guys all the time?” Attina teased with a slight laugh. “What did you have in mind?”

“Yes, it’s the paper planes again,” Meg said, grateful that Attina knew at least a bit of what was going on. “I was actually walking down from that corner there…” she started, pointing to a curb several meters away, “...when I saw it pass by me. I didn’t get to immediately catch up with it, but I tried my best… And I think I saw something fly by here…”
“Well, maybe we can track it down! At least you saw what direction it flew in, and that’s a start, right?” Attina asked, giving her friend a symapthetic grin. She knew just how long Meg had been chasing paper planes, she figured it was the very least she could do to help her find it. Besides, she had to admit to herself that her curiosity at the identity of the mystery person behind the paper planes was sufficiently piqued. “Lead the way!”

“Yeah. But that doesn’t mean I have to like it!” Boo said. She held onto her cup, looking out at the view in front of her. “But, it’s also so serene when it’s colder, you know?”
“Exactly-- we have every right to complain!” Attina agreed, pouting her lips and nodding in approval. It was one of the few things she genuinely disliked, but she had to admit Boo was right: it looked so peaceful out on the shoreline, not a soul in sight. “I guess the view is pretty gorgeous though... as long as it doesn’t get cold enough to freeze the ocean, we’ll be okay.”
She's imperfect, but she tries She is good, but she lies She is hard on herself She is broken and won't ask for help

“Oh my, it really would have wouldn’t it?” Cass clicked her tongue against her teeth in order to make a ‘tsk’ noise at this realization. “It’s much to late to even try making Christmas cards with them, huh? Such a shame. But, there isn’t anything that says we can’t get a head start for next year.” She suggested. “Maybe once the hectic reality of the holiday passes, we could get together and take one final picture of the two in their costumes?”
“If only we could have a little photoshoot and make Valentine’s Day cards or something with different costumes. Or is that leaning too far into my cat mom image?” Attina asked with a light laugh. “That’s a good point-- if we do it now, we’ll be prepared for next year. Oh, I would love that! We’d get our adorable pictures, and Fin Fin would enjoy the company,” the blonde agreed, a wide smile spreading across her lips at the thought.

“That’s a good way to put it,” he replied with a smile. Panic was never good with words, but it seemed Attina had a better way of phrasing things.
“Yeah, but that’s why I’m lucky I found Pain, cause now he’s the brother I never had,” he replied with a smile. “And I now can understand how annoying siblings must be sometimes.”
“Exactly-- it’s not all bad,” she quipped with a soft grin. At least now she had the freedom to do things she never got to do in her youth, and she was glad he understood.
“At least you found that kind of friendship with Pain. Everyone needs a close relationship like that in their lives, even if you’re not related by blood,” Letting out a laugh at his comment about siblings, she replied, “Yeah, as much as I love them, they can be a handful-- especially when you’re the oldest.”
