With: @efexumukoroxlc Where: Hydration Station
The parade was loud. That, coupled with the heat, made it a little less enjoyable. Lara had nothing against the event itself; the concept of Pride, though a new one in her mind, was not unwanted, and the progression of time was good in many ways, that being one of them. She just did not understand a lot about it, nor was she quite sure why it needed to be during this heat. Lara was no stranger to it being hot out, and she was used to working in it, but there was quite a difference to working in the sun and being surrounded by people and loud noises during the heat. She'd never cared much for being touched, the brush of skin against skin, when she was a banshee, sometimes leading to visions that she'd rather avoid. Some habits don't change, even if one's species does.
She was at the hydration station-- an odd but apt name-- for water, yes, but also to get away from at least some of the noise and people. When she took some water, she tiredly asked, though she didn't expect much of a response, "Would you happen to have the little..." she motioned to her ears. "The noise silencers."
