“  Did you know her?  ” Nevin asked out of the blue, needing to find someone to talk to about the morning news, “  I saw her just a couple of days ago. At the supermarket.  ” Granted, she hadn’t known Daisy long, but the shock of her murder still left her feeling uneased.

Coming home, though she loved to travel and work, was meant to be relaxing and worry free, but in light of recent events, Nevin was finding it harder to do. She didn’t entertain drinking alone, nor did she want to result to a cocktail whenever she felt amiss, so turning her focus to the gym gave her the best of both worlds. She got to stay fit and energized, but also forget about the problems that engulfed her thoughts when she went to an empty home. Walking out of the ladies locker room, she came face to face with Vincent exiting the male’s room next door. Nevin hadn’t spoken to him since the gala, for good reasons, she was upset, but also knew she’d done wrong in striking him. “  Hi.  ” she said with restraint, and because she didn't know what else to say, “  How’s your face?  ”

DON'T ASK DON'T TELL.

kirby had made a deal with andrew of all people, well aj as they knew him. it was a deal for him to keep a secret of theirs that they decided to blurt out without even thinking as they usually did but this one was a bit too big of a secret for them to just leave it in the hands of someone else to blab about.

shaking on the deal didn't help because kirby was always a man of their word and something like that they refused to break, call it morals? if they even had any left. andrew had promised to make their life a living hell if they didn't follow through with the deal by the next time they saw each other and though they were curious what he meant by that, they also didn't want to find out. surprisingly he hadn't followed through with that threat despite not having the item, however kirby knew it was also the faire at the time and there wasn't exactly an easy way for andrew to get on them about it without someone overhearing.

it wasn't cause they didn't want too, they hadn't had the time. until now. while they sat in a booth at the diner like they always were, they watched vincent from afar, watching him be distracted by louis flirting him which was honestly a little funny to them. it was being handed to them on a silver platter it felt like, they didn't have to come up with a distraction themselves and when vincent finally left from behind the counter with louis in tow they figured that was their chance.

kirby got up from the booth and headed in the direction of the bathroom, 'accidentally' bumping into vincent in the process. "shit sorry, didn't mean to run into you." they sounded genuine at least but they had other intentions in mind. both were distracted so it was easy to swipe his keys from his pocket and smiled at him, going to the bathroom like originally intended.

now locked inside the bathroom they searched the key ring for the one that resembled a house key and took it off, shoving that one in their pocket and held the ring in the hand now as they left to hopefully run into vincent again which as if on que was coming back towards them. kirby bumped into him again to slip it back into his pocket, grabbing onto his arm this time with a smirk. "we gotta stop running into each other like this."

they both chuckled and vincent went on his way, kirby going back to their booth to finish off their fries before putting some ration cards on the table to leave and head towards the soda shop. seeing that andrew was at work was good cause then they didn't have to track him down so they sat at a bar stool, waving him over to order a vanilla shake.

kirby waited for him to bring the shake over, pulling out a ration card and the key and put it underneath the card before sliding it over the counter towards him. "pleasure doing business with you." they told him with a wink and sipped at their shake, finishing it not long after and went on their way.

“ so i have to admit, i’m curious. ” adrian paused, a quizzical look on his face. it was as curious question that he had, one that he did indeed want to know the answer to, for some godforsaken reason, his unbridled curiosity getting the better of him. “ as a guard, have you ever mistaken, you know, screams of, let’s say, ecstasy for something else and walked in on an otherwise inappropriate moment? ”
