Walking on Air || EJ & Arín
“Well yeah, it’d be better than drinking the blood out of someone’s body, but that doesn’t mean that blood orange juice is good! Orange juice isn’t even good. Orange juice is disgusting, and blood oranges are worse than normal oranges. I would die if all I could drink for the rest of my life was blood orange juice,” EJ said with a wide grin. “That is a really good book. Movie’s shit, but the book is one that I could probably read again. In fact, I should read it again.”
Deja vu. What an interesting word it was, both in meaning and phonetics. EJ allowed her mind to get locked onto the simplicities of thinking about deja vu for a few moments before she heard the blonde’s question. “No, I was asking you what, and then you answered my what. What are you asking what for again? Didn’t we sort both of them out?” she asked, unable to keep herself from laughing. The situation was simply too funny.
Arín smiled and shrugged. “I like orange juice. And blood oranges are perfectly fine too. Besides, they probably have a lot more vitamins than human blood, although…” She tilted her head to the side, pondering, while a soft breeze blew her long hair around. “It might depend on the person’s diet.” Another light shrug. By now she was convinced that EJ would make a terrible vampire if she hated orange juice as much as blood. “The books are always better. But the movie had Brad Pitt.” And it was a simple rule that no movie could be absolute shit if Brad Pitt starred in it. That was just how it was.
"I don't know..." EJ's laughter was contagious, and soon enough, Arín was chuckling as well. "I'm pretty sure that you looked at me like I had two heads...somewhere between the first and the second 'what'." Or prior to both of them. Or after? Or maybe she'd imagined it all, she couldn't say with certainty. But it felt like there was an unresolved what still hanging in the air.
