ย ย ย ARLO HAS KNOWNย the sheridans ever since he came to kaos for the first time. in fact, he had worked on and off at the bella donna hotel when he first got here, before landing a more permanent gig elsewhere. besides his art, which isnโt nearly as lucrative as arlo would hope, arlo has taken a liking to his career in hospitalityโ heโs rather good at it, too. he loves talking to people and listening, and having been in kaos for close to two years has given him a plethora of suggestions as to where tourists should venture to. nonetheless, he finds himself lending a helping hand at sophie and lisaโs wedding, standing off to the side and running around if needed. now, of course, heโs leaning behind the makeshift bar at the reception, a jar of cocktail cherries in his hand as he slowly stirs it around and watches people slow dance. he notices the other standing not too far from him, doing precisely the same thing: watching. arlo smirks.
โcan i get you something?โ he asks, to break the silence. he grabs a spoon and scoops out a cherry, then offers it to the other with a grin. โslow dancing is a bit awkward, isnโt it? sure is romantic, though.โ
ย ย ย ย ย RHIANNON SHOULDNโT HAVE BEEN SURPRISED TO SEE ARLO AT the wedding. after all, he was so lovable --- of course he has connections to various people across kaos. but knowing that this is NORMAL, that she lives near arlo, that heโll often pop up at places she goes to? she hasnโt gotten used to it, not yet.
ย ย ย ย ย but she is trying. rhiannon was an emotional person, never able to hide her feelings. in this moment, however, sheโs trying. she keeps her face blank, trying not to spot him out of the corner of her eye. ( she missed andres. they werenโt technically anything, but to rhiannon, they were; just enough for his leaving to hurt, to feel like a failure on her part. she felt this way before with arlo, but on a considerably worse scale. ) arloโs voice snaps her out of the melancholy thoughts. heโs offered her a cherry. he remembers how much she loves them. โย ...no, thank you.ย โ she looks at him, trying to offer him a small smile that doesnโt reach her eyes.ย โ ...super awkward. but iย think that depends on who youโre dancing with.ย โ
