This was not how Shirou intended to spend his evening.
For one thing, he was in the wrong place, namely not in Fuyuki with Fuji, Sakura and Rin preparing to celebrate the holiday. Instead, he was in this wretched hive of a city, at a dance he wanted little to nothing to do with. A scowl adorned his face for but a moment before he returned to his neutral expression, eyes carefully surveying the dance floor. He still couldn’t quite fathom the purpose of this event; but he would remain nonetheless, in part because it seemed polite. Far be it for him to try and make enemies when there really wasn’t anything wrong with this event, in spite of his own misgivings.
As he weaved towards the door, hoping to perhaps salvage his intent on a quiet evening, Shirou was approached by a woman who… seemed to have already taken… other measures to enjoy the evening. Groaning at the turn of events and making sure to tilt his head slightly from the scent of the woman’s breath weaving onto his skin, Shirou attempted to sidestep past the woman, only to find a hand already clasping his arm. Mind racing, he attempted to discern the proper course of action
“H-hey, what’s with this…? Why are you grabbing onto me of all people?”
❧ ● Edea is surely to let out a groan, a mistake on her part for not watching her part of liquor through and through. Still, she needed it. When thoughts of this city permeated through her mind, there was no way to relieve one from the increase of stress. Other than to drink--and in truth the wine was a supplement far like anything she had drank before. If she could thank anything of this new world, it would be the variety of liquids they brought to her in taste. She’d been lost in those thoughts but also as well, that she wanted to hide away some where quiet. Far too many people looked upon her, and not because of anything ill but rather that she was a mess to begin with. Her incursions with Alternis and others at the dance, left her with much discontempt. So here she was, accidentally hugging close to this strange male, to whom of which she initially thought was a pole of sorts.
❝ Oh--You.. Y... You talk?? Why are you talking? Aren’t you--ah? Oh! Youre a person... A people... A boy? A BOY? Whoa-- Mm... Hic--- ❞ Edea’s grasp of the situation came in slow moments, as she was trying to size up who this was. Her hand had gone about tapping across his face, uncertain of what was going on and upon her realization that it was a talking boy--she had mildly jumped. Though, not without wobbling about and clinging back to him, afraid that her dizzy spell would cause her to fall forward. ❝ M... Mm so sorry.. I... Could you--- Help? Where--oh...... How do I get home?? Home? ❞
