@wvsteria ; lexi && maddy

"sorry, you were saying?" lexi spoke with a smile, tilting her head as she glanced over at the other woman "i totally zoned out for a minute, and it seemed like maybe you had something to say?"

[optxmiist]

@drvcxrys ; lexi && cassie

"uh, so this might be totally awkward." lexi spoke, making her way over to the woman sitting in her section "but my manager wants to know if you're actually going to order anything, or just drink the water and eat the free bread basket."

[vcndetta]

"seriously." this was not something that hyacinth would lie about; certainly not when it came to her best friend. "why, have you been here long as well?" at this point she just wanted to know everything that was going on with her best friend. it had felt like too long that they were apart. "oh felicity, i am so happy for you. i'm okay. just been taking some college classes and trying to find my footing."

[optxmiist]

felicity was certain she was alone in this city. and though she enjoyed the freedoms that allowed her, she missed her family, and her best friend more than anything, so seeing hyacinth opened up her hope that her sisters, and her mama would show up eventually. "i have." she nodded her head "isn't it shocking? being allowed to study? to have our own lives? i'm sure eloise would be losing her mind if she were here." felicity chuckled "i finish work in an hour, if you want to catch up for a tea?"

[drvcxrys]

(¸.• ♛ → the redhead looked at the other girl with a small smile. "this place is nice, yes." or at least most of it but this girl seems in love with this place so she didn't want to break this. "i'm sure your family wouldn't ruin anything. at least i would love for all my family to be here." auggie misses simon as much as she does of course and she would also love to see the rest of her siblings and her mum.

[optxmiist]

"i'm sure your family is much different to mine." posy spoke with a frown, the idea of rosamund or her mother showing up and dulling her shine, like a grey cloud on a summers day sounded awful. "i'm sure your family are lovely."

[wvsteria]

"that's right, there you go!" stella was happy she'd run into more women at her job. she'd missed her friends from back in chicago for sure but was always happy to make new ones. "but you know also don't do too good, you might end up being appointed the cook for every shift." she joked as she made her way in to grab a plate.

[optxmiist]

vic let out a chuckle as she basked in stellas hype, an eyebrow raised at her comment "oh i don't know how many of my parents recipes i remember to keep everybody fed forever." she spoke with a raised brow "but anything is better than some of the slop some of the boys serve up, they'd fall apart without us."

[tearstodust]

malia immediately fights the urge to roll her eyes, mostly because she couldn't even get a word in. but the other's confidence is admirable, she'll give her that much. " then why'd you ask to begin with ? " malia retorts, her tone mostly in a teasing manner - it might sound a little foreign on her tongue, but she's working on it. " do you always wear so much red ? "

[optxmiist]

"i thought i needed the reassurance, but i realised it was a moot point." she spoke with a tilt of her head, a smile spread across her lips "red suits me, i know what looks good."

@optxmiist [Alec + Kai]

"Are you admitting to committing a crime or are you speaking in riddles?" Alec asked the other. "I'm off duty, man. I just want to enjoy my drink."

[optxmiist]

"you weren't listening? that hurts man, to the core." kai spoke, feigning pain as he clutched his chest "i thought we were really bonding."

[hiddendarkrosesx]

"You aren't wrong, it was a lot easier to meet people as a kid." Chishiya hummed. "Well, I guess coming up to someone is the first step, right? I'm guessing the second is to introduce yourself. I'm Chishiya."

[optxmiist]

"kids just run up to another kid on the playground, and bam, best friends." jules spoke "but here i am, working eighty hour weeks, meeting strangers at the bar instead of going home to sleep" she added "jules."

❝ don't know what? ❞ benjamin got confused. what was the other talking about? ❝ i am confused over what you refer to ❞

"whatever is going on" riley rolled his eyes as he spoke, a frown on his lips "don't worry."

[butterflykings]

"Have you taken him before? Do you have old notes I can use?" She knew she probably sounded overly eager. "Not to come on too strong." She laughed at herself. "Do you want to get a coffee, go over classes? I don't really have any friends yet here."

[optxmiist]

"i haven't, unfortunately." eloise frowned, wishing she could have been at least a little more help "but if you need of a friend to study with and compare notes i'm totally down." she nodded "though i'm more of a tea girl."

[vcndetta]

"you can have it. but only if you give it back later." the dry sarcasm and joke rolled off his tongue as if it was something he did with every turn to talk. "i understand that. there has been so much going on tonigh down in the er---a moment to clear my head probably did me a world of good."

[optxmiist]

"no promises, the view is pretty great." lexie chuckled, raising an eyebrow at the male doctor "there's always too much going on in the er, you guys have it rough." lexie shuddered thinking about her er placement when she was an intern "at least for the most part, surgery is predictable."

[vcndetta]

"that's okay. it happens to the best of us.. we can just move the body and hide it." it wasn't like anne could judge. not when she had been in this position herself many times before. "my name is anne, what's your name?" her voice is soft, reassuring as she reached out to put a hand on the other's shoulder.

[optxmiist]

rileys eyes stayed locked on her face. she was beautiful. like a guardian angel who didn't care that he'd just killed a man. "riley." he spoke softly, taking in a deep breath, despite not needing to "you're not going to judge me?"

[lavendaers]

"i'm sorry." sophie shook her head, feeling genuinely bad for the other. "i hope your sister is out there, but i doubt that she's me and i've forgotten you and i don't hate you? i don't know you."

[optxmiist]

"it just makes so little sense." posy shook her head, unable to put it aside "what's the liklihood you look like my sister, and have the same name as her?" she questioned "do not worry. i am sure i will find her."

[musingnook]

"Don't call me that. I'm the last person you would get a warm welcome from." Bonnie said with an eye roll and a sigh. "Who, in their right mind, brought you here?" She couldn't imagine anyone wanting to bring him back, or why they would have a reason to.

[optxmiist]

"ouch, that hurts." kai spoke, clutching his heart in fake pain. he did thrive on the reactions he was getting from everybody oh no, kai is alive. "bon bon, we're friends, aren't we?"

[vcndetta]

"felicity. oh my gosh." there was so much relief that washed through hyacinth as she reached forward to give her friend a hug, the counter between them be damned. "i do not know how i got here. i've been here half a year or so. what about you? are you okay?" there were so many questions she had for her best friend.

[optxmiist]

god, why did she have to be at work right now? all she wanted to do is run off and catch up with hyacinth, to make sure she was okay, to spend time with her best friend. "seriously?" she raised an eyebrow, how had they not run into each other in all these months? "i can't believe it has taken us this long to see eah other." she spoke "good, good. i'm studying, i'm going to be an artist. or at least i will work with real artists. are you okay?"

[vcndetta]

"no, i will not chill. not about this." at this point it seemed like this was beyond the point of being 'chiil'. not when her sister was looking at her like a complete stranger. "oh no you are not. you are far from an only child and i do hate to be the one to break that to you."

[optxmiist]

eloise raised an eyebrow as the other woman spoke. she seemed to adament, but there was no way she was telling the truth "if i had siblings, i would remember." she scoffed with a shake of her head "prove it."

[wvsteria]

the smirk never left toni's face. there was a wash of relief that even without her remembering cheryl was still smitten with her. "i pinky promise." she agreed as she held up her pinky finger to the other woman.

[optxmiist]

cheryl smirked back as she reached her own pinky finger up to lock with toni's, a soft giggle escaping her lips "great, now that we've got that out of the way, lead the way?"
