"Okay, so I know Christmas is still a few days away, but I couldn't resist giving you something a little early..." Liza started, a grin on her lips once they'd settled into a table with their drinks and she pulled a little gift bag out of her purse. "And before you give me any hassle about not saying anything about gift exchanging today, I want you to just open it first...okay?"

After their shifts were done at the Pub that evening, Valeria could definitely use a drink and happily extended the invitation. So once their little table was secured and drinks in hand (she was definitely curious about this blood orange ale), Valeria settled in and nodded over to her friend. "So I survived the meeting of the boyfriend's family. Barely."

With both of them finally off work and not scheduled for the day, Valeria was all too happy to go out for lunch and take their time with it. “Gotta admit, it’s nice to be the one served the food and the drinks for a change.” She teased as she took a sip of her drink. “Any stupid patron encounters recently on your end? Or are you safe in the background behind your knives and frying pans?”

Luz had been meaning to check out the pub for a while now, hearing that the food was pretty good, so with a free afternoon, she decided to check it out. "So what's good here?" She asked a girl nearby as she settled into a chair at the bar. "Any recommendations?"

While the games were maybe a little silly, Valeria was still very much in her reclaiming her childhood phase. So she all but beelined towards them, grinning over at her friend as she nodded to them. "Wanna do two outta three on the water guns? Loser has to buy lunch?"

Once she'd texted back her confirmation to her friend to come meet at her job, Gillian got back to work, always amused by the teens especially who rolled in wanting ice cream or milkshakes despite the chilly weather outside (even her herself loved a coffee and brownie milkshake at least once a week). So with Roxy on the way, Gilly set aside a little kiddie cup like promised, and was just finishing handing over a receipt to a customer when the other girl walked in, making Gilly grin as she nodded over to the display case, holding up the cup teasingly.

"As promised! Go check out which one you'd like while I finish up."

Gillian wasn't really the self-conscious type. She usually couldn't give less a fuck about how she looked or how others perceived her, and right now she was trying to focus on that as she leaned back against her boyfriend's car, clad in leggings and an oversized hoodie, waiting for Asher to get back (or for some free food or drinks to be smuggled out to her).

Seeing a girl walk out on her own, Gilly looked her over for a moment, figuring if she'd gone to this thing, she might have worn the same color scheme. "Nice dress. Purple's my favorite color."

children of the wild ones | Roxanne&Riley

It was finally here. The night of the full moon had arrived, perhaps a bit more quickly than most would have liked. Although Riley had been trying her best to keep her cool and pretend that she was completely composed, her stomach was a knot of nerves. It didn't make any sense; she wasn't even one of the unfortunate souls who had to turn tonight. Even so, she was able to at least empathize. The idea of the werewolf curse being passed down in their genes was terrifying to her. There were times that she lay awake at night, so crippled with fear at the very idea of triggering the curse. But like Cassie had told her many times over the past week, she had no control over what happened. 

So instead of focusing on her fears for her own life, Riley had taken to worrying about Roxy. Generally, that was Roxanne's job; she was the older sister, the mother figure. She fretted over Riley more than she probably should have, and there were times that Riley complained about that. But now that she was the one worrying, she understood why Roxanne acted the way she did. It was just to protect her.

Riley wished that she could protect Roxanne. As they walked towards Derek's house, Riley sent a few furtive glances in her sister's direction, checking to see that she was still holding up alright. "So how secure is this place?" she asked finally, breaking the silence. Sometimes she wished she could read her sister's mind just to find out what she was thinking. Riley was convinced that Roxy kept most of her thoughts to herself, seeing it as some strange form of being strong and protecting her from the bad things in the world. "Like is it so strong that not even a band of hungry ogres could break in?" She smiled slightly, hoping that her sister wouldn't see through her feeble attempt at diffusing the tension in the air.
