the best thing about an outdoor fall/halloween celebration is how readily accessible picnic tables are. once used to facilitate the pie eating competition, talia is now seated at one reading. she’s creating her own light, filtered from the moon, making it easy to read in the less-than-helpful night time lighting. talia looks up when she hears the crunching of leaves underfoot, smiling slightly when she recognizes ezra. “nice costume,” she can’t help but comment, even though he’s surely heard it 100 times by now. “are you sure you want to leave before they crown a winner for the contest? you might win ironically.” / @ezrastokes​

"hey, what’s this?” she asks, holding up a flower she’d found fallen on the ground. surely he’s learned something from spending so much time with oliver. “it’s pretty, i wonder if it’s native to california or not.” she, herself, is not, so she’s not sure. “it kind of reminds me of those flowers that grow upside down back home. you know, the purple ones?” / @ezrastokes​

for as much as talia genuinely enjoys helping others, one of the nice things about taking the brunt of the late shifts at the infirmary is the lack of activity. it gives her time to read, which is what she’s doing when someone walks in. talia glances up, glowing slightly with a defensive aura in case this person is looking for trouble. but when he comes into view, clearly he’s injured, just from the way he’s holding himself. “good evening,” she greets, setting her book aside and getting to her feet. “your hand? or wrist?” she asks, based on her first impression. / @ezrastokes​

       ❝  ... WHAT ?  ❞   brows  lift  in  a  questioning  manner  as  her  steps  come  to  a  halt ,  hands  squeezing  the  ends  of  her  soaking  wet  hair .  theo  knew  from  the  moment  she  signed  up  for  tank  duties  that  she’d  probably  be  spending  more  than  half  of  the  festival  soaked  wet ,  save  for  her  activities  at  the  strength  test  booth  and  guard  duty .  either  way ,  it  sounded  fun  enough  ---  she  knew  there  had  to  be  a  number  of  people  dying  for  the  chance  to  dunk  her  in  water .   but  when  she  saw  ezra ,  the  slight  frustration  of  being  wet  head  to  toe  was  replaced  by  mischief .  ❝  oh  i  know ,  you  want  a  hug ,  huh ?  ❞  with  arms  wide  open ,  she  started  walking  towards  the  man  again ,  ❝  c’mon  bud ,  bring  it  in .  ❞

“heeeey,” she says in her fakest tone of voice, slinging her arm through his so he can’t escape. “my car is making this like...super angry noise,” she starts, pouting to show how upsetting this turn of events has made her. “do you think you could take a look at it for me?” / @ezrastokes​

oliver sets two drinks down on the picnic table. “i got us cherry blossom lemonade,” he states, though he’s not sure what that entails. it sounds festive, which is reason enough for him to try something. “we’ll need to stay hydrated if we want to win the three-legged race.” which one can only assume ezra has not actually agreed to yet. “i have a couple of hours before i have to go back to the booth.” / @ezrastokes​
