he watches the way violet holds herself in front of the mirror with far too bright, too tired eyes ; leg propped atop counter as the woman swiftly tightens the strap of her heel. david himself hovers near the wall, pushing his back against it like he was attempting to blend the entirety of his form into the peeling paint. he's supposed to pick up his wallet he left here the night before, though he already seems to have forgotten what he came for. so he just stands there for now ─ twig-like, jittery digits frantically tapping against the fabric of his own jeans. violet catches his reflection. but he's not looking back. just staring into nothing, jaw slightly clenched.
you got the shakes, baby ? she asks, and david blinks. twitchy hands rising themselves to remove the headphones still nestled in dark, tousled strands. letting them fall loosely around his neck instead.
' i'm fine ─ just been a long shift. didn't sleep. ' he mindlessly scratches the bridge of his nose, greens darting around backstage room's surroundings, pretending to search for his wallet. was it even here he left it last night ? he's not even sure anymore. ' just tryin' to figure out where i left that damn thing. '
