nice day, isn’t it? ,, lila & sakuya
Or, it would have been, had the sky not started to rumble threateningly above them.
The weather aside, Lila was sat on a bench with her hands folded on her lap. She looked like someone had taken her food and stepped on it when they found out that it was a sandwich and not the marvelous spread of international confectionary she had advertised an hour ago.
But that was beside the point. The point was that she had started her act of gathering attention. The easiest way was to pull the heartstrings of whoever paid attention to her not-so-subtle sniffling. The story she spun revolved around going to an undisclosed shelter.
Was she really going to one? A believable story would have her saying ‘yes’. Maybe she would.
“And really, how am I supposed to volunteer at the shelter today if the weather won’t let us?” She blinked back tears, turning to the poor sap who had been lured by her... act. “The forecast said it was going to be sunny today, but look at how dark the day’s been!”
@sakvhana might need to get some tissues ready.
