LOCATION — Peak Seasons, Holiday Charity Event.
WHO — Elijah & Sage ( @sagefranklin )
It had been over a year at this point, attending these sorts of elegant events, and Elijah still hadn't managed to get entirely used to it. Donning an expensive suit and looking pretty on Aslihan's arm — that was the easy part, the part he was used to. However, inevitably, there came a point in the night where his girlfriend would split away from him in order to mingle with other guests (affectionally dubbed as 'Bailey business', in his mind), leaving him to occupy his time all alone for the time being. Usually, he would find a friend to cling to instead, but this time he decided that it was the perfect time to slip outside for a smoke break. Maybe call his parents to check up on the baby in the process. He'd only been outside for a few minutes, tucked away to the side and enjoying the bite that came with the low temperature when he saw someone else nearby from the corner of his eye. Normally, he wouldn't be moved to say something, but further inspection made him realize that it was Sage that had a similar idea of escaping the crowd for a moment and he figured that it may be rude, or awkward, if he didn't. "Feels nice out here, doesn't it?" he piped up, "One of the few times I'll be grateful it's so stuffy in there — makes me feel like I don't need a coat." Tucking away his phone, figuring he'd call his parents later, he continued, "You look wonderful. Are you enjoying yourself?"
