aurora briar

I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream.

[colin-gear-thanks-blog]

Oh, I’m so sure of that. 

[he chuckles, heading in after her and ducking into a booth] I’m fairly certain that most people like their places of employment much better when they aren’t working. Can’t say the same for myself though. The library is much more fun to work in than to sit in. You just get so much more time to explore and clean. 

[auroraintheclouds]

[she slides in, sitting across from him] It must be nice for you to be able to organize the books and keep them in order. If I were in a place that quiet, I'd just drift off into my own world like I normally do. 

[colin-gear-thanks-blog]

You just adore making your own rules to things don’t you? 

[he rolls his eyes playfully, opening the door for Aurora] 

[auroraintheclouds]

I didn't make the rules to that one, I learned it in, like, mythology or something...

Thank you. [she walks through the door and waits for Colin to walk in] I love this diner when I'm not working.

[colin-gear-thanks-blog]

especially not with a pinky promise. Because pinky promises hold no other significance than real promises and even they don’t hold that much, do they? 

[auroraintheclouds]

They totally do, because if you break the promise, you have to cut of your pinky. It's a good way to keep promises between two people, 'cause no one wants to cut their pinky off.

[colin-gear-thanks-blog]

Trust no one but yourself, Aurora!

[auroraintheclouds]

Not even with a pinky promise?

[colin-gear-thanks-blog]

[he rolls his eyes playfully] I suppose we’ll have to see about that. 

[auroraintheclouds]

[turns to him] What's that supposed to mean? You can trust me.

[colin-gear-thanks-blog]

[he follows her out the door, raising an eyebrow as Aurora rambles on. he chuckles, amused by it all] 

Yeah, you are a bit. But it’s very nice of you to admire my smile, Ror. [he walks a bit ahead of her, turning back to grin. Compliments come few and far between so Colin certainly isn’t above letting them go to his head, but…] But don’t go spreading around that you got a grin out of me. I’d deny it til the ends of the world. 

[auroraintheclouds]

[Aurora walks faster to try and stay caught up with him] Well, then it stays between us. 

[colin-gear-thanks-blog]

[smiles a bit] cool, um…[scratches the back of his neck] lead the way?

[auroraintheclouds]

Let's go! [walks out the door and waits for Colin to catch up with her] By the way, you should smile more. You have a really nice smile. That doesn't sound weird, does it? It's just that you do have a nice smile and smiling is good for you, and it's contagious, and it makes you look happier... I'm rambling aren't I?

[colin-gear-thanks-blog]

It’s not the color I have an issue with. I own many green garments but I don’t see what’s so vital that people wear it on this day. [he huffs out an annoyed sigh and shakes his head] it doesn’t matter anyway. I’m thirsty, do you want to grab some coffee or something?

[auroraintheclouds]

[shrugs at his odd opinion] Sure, I could go for a coffee.

[colin-gear-thanks-blog]

Why would I do that? It’s silly, and I don’t really see much a point in wearing a color just for the sake of a tradition. I’m pretty sure I’m not even Irish, so it’s even more pointless. But by all means, you feel free to play along Aurora. As long as you don’t pinch me. 

[auroraintheclouds]

It's fun, I mean, I'm not at all Irish but I still wear green for the fun of it. Also, I promise not to pinch you if it makes you feel any better.

[auroraintheclouds]

[lightly chuckles] Why aren’t you wearing green, Colin?

[colin-gear-thanks-blog]

Because I refuse to take part in nonsensical traditions.

[auroraintheclouds]

Oh come on, it only happens once a year. Why not participate? It's fun.

[kelsey-potts-deactivated2014050]

I think I know where you are talking about, but for the life of me, I can’t remember the name either! I am horrible with that kind of thing.

[auroraintheclouds]

Good thing you know what I'm talking about or we'd probably be roaming the town for hours. Let's get going! I really like the store, I've gotten a few things from there before.

[ofrowans]

*coughs nervously* Erm, t-thank you? I probably should’ve shut the door, sorry, I’ll be on that now. 

[auroraintheclouds]

Right-- but before you do, I just thought you should know that there's an open mic down at the diner every Saturday if you're interested.

[ofrowans]

"Singing radiohead at the top of our lungs, with the boom box blaring as we’re falling in love, when the sun goes down we’ll be raising our cups, sining here’s to never growing up."

[auroraintheclouds]

Sorry to intrude, but you have an amazing voice.

[colin-gear-thanks-blog]

I swear if one more person tries to pinch me because I’m not wearing green, I’m going to throw something. My eyes are green for Pete’s sake! That very well counts.

[auroraintheclouds]

[lightly chuckles] Why aren't you wearing green, Colin?

[kaylahelps]

It sounds like a good idea to sleep then., right?

[auroraintheclouds]

It definitely does, but my cousins are having a scary movie marathon and they scream at something that pops out every five minutes. I probably shouldn't have stayed up so late last night.

[kaylahelps]

Is there anything to do any other day?

[auroraintheclouds]

I'm usually occupied in my head or at work, but for some odd reason, I can't even think straight. Must be lack of sleep.

[belleredding]

Oh that’s perfect. You could read the first book of the UnEnchanted Series by Chanda Hahn, which I highly recommend. You could also read Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro which is more of a calm book. The Color Purple is a great book with an amazing movie to go along with it. Those are just some I can get off the top of my head.

[auroraintheclouds]

Hm, I'll have to stop by and check them out some time. What's your favorite book?
