"no that's - fine, i guess. i mean, yeah, it's good." moira's eyes narrowed at the hand reaching out for her. she didn't move out of the way, didn't pull back, just let her gaze move along the woman in front of her, unsure of her vibe and her words. something just didn't quite match. her expression didn't shift, frown settling in deeper at the other's next words. "you like scaring people or something? is that your deal? 'cause i gotta say, you're a bit too pretty for that, sorry."

rosalie noticed kellan's reaction, she couldn't not when she didn't trust her enough to take her eyes off her. she also noticed that the younger woman didn't move away, the one thing she wanted her to do. the question gave her pause, made her pulse quicken just-so because kellan was aware of what she did. rose was trusting, overly so, but she couldn't be here. couldn't give one of the second chance she usually gave for free; not with her, not with someone who put her on edge. "no." the word was unfamiliar and abrupt, despite the soft tone it was delivered in. "we can't start over." she fought the urge to apologise, to end it with a sorry, because she couldn't be that either. @sowickcd

it had been confusing ever since cain had warned missy and told her the extent of some of the things dylan had done. that that either of them had successfully broken from dylan's orbit since or had really tried. but missy was willing to admit she was conflicted and on some days she wondered if dylan did have any real feelings for her like she and cain did. "consider the duality of man," missy said, pretty sure that was something she'd heard cain say. "i can have affection and still see the rest a little more clearly now." her breathing started to increase with dylan over her. she couldn't deny she had affection, dylan could see it plane as anything on her face anyway. "what do you think of me?"

closed starter for @sowickcd || + grace

"come on, it's not that bad, i promise." grace smiled, leaning her head on the brunette's shoulder, fingers toying with the other woman's gently as she glanced ahead of them. "and we can leave early if you want. just because i was invited doesn't mean i have to stay the whole time." she explained, watching as the people moved around the room, some dancing, most drinking, the music loud and the crowd mostly strangers. "i just figured it'd be nice to show up, for a little bit. i don't often get invited to parties, you know?" grace tilted her head up to glance at the other with a small grin. "maybe we could even dance together? only if you feel like it, of course."

andy made sure she kept as much distance between them as possible, lingering as close to the other side as she could. if she was lucky, maybe it would even show that she wasn't looking for trouble. she shrugged at the initial question, because yeah it was just her, and she wasn't exactly a fan of the reminder. her eyes settled on cain, only until she saw her eyes already on her - smart, but still uncomfortable. "i have no idea." she answered, maybe too honestly; every day she survived this hellish world surprised her. "luck?" it paid not to question it and risk subsequently pushing it, but andromeda still wouldn't say she was grateful when dylan spoke. not for the words nor the tone they were delivered in. casual, like the growing statistics were nothing. "some of them did." again, honesty. felt like it would be illegal not to be in this room; she'd never been a problem student, but being in the principal's office still felt like being in trouble. "i left." andy debated continuing, but what could she say? she could hardly claim personal reasons in the apocalypse. @sowickcd

iris hated being the bearer of bad news, the one who tapped into reason and logic. she preferred whimsical, but that had gone out the window. replaced with lunacy at this rate. she took a moment to stare at the blatant wrongness of luca's place in this state, like maybe that would be the thing that transitioned things from numbing to real. if homes in this kinda neighbourhood had fallen, she hated to think what hers, or hazel's, could look like by now. she suppressed a snort, because this surpassed fucked - this was fucked getting fucked and then hit by an asteroid or something just as colossal. still, she was glad when luca agreed, since she really didn't want to have to fight her on this. she just let luca speak, watched her. iris considered the woman to be some kind of super-human, but anyone who had seen their old home reduced to that with their family potentially caught in the chaos deserved a little extra attention, in her humble opinion. she found herself nodding, mentally tacking on an hour to make it three just in case. all things considered, it was their best bet. "sounds good." her voice was quieter than it usually was. being boisterous just seemed wrong. then she shook her head. "no, not yet." because that yet was important, especially since locking and unlocking her phone didn't seem to be doing anything to make communication happen faster. hazel, andy. anyone. "we'll leave, right? like, drive up the road to check our phones or whatever?" @sowickcd

cain wasn't wrong but missy couldn't help the way her face screwed up looking at the body cain had to step over. this was far from the first time she'd been up close with one but it was still difficult for her to deal with. cain had noticed her hesitation, that feeling that she was hurting someone if she landed a blow despite their humanity long since gone. she looked away from cain, feeling rightly chastised. missy knew she needed to be better. for herself and for cain who couldn't always save her. she heard cain's voice soften, the way she said baby feeling like home in a world without a home anymore. it was enough for her to make eye contact, hoping there wasn't too much disappointment there.

"no, you're right. i know you are," missy said nodding. "i'm sorry. i don't want to hold you back. it's... they're not human." maybe she needed to repeat it like a mantra. she was good at keeping close to cain, physically in sync enough even without taking the other's hand, mostly because that meant one less hand ready for each of them if something went sideways. "maybe when we get back you can practice with me. so it starts to feel more natural." she knew cain wouldn't hurt her and if she could even mentally consider fighting with cain surely she could handle the part that wanted to hold back with the zombies. even if really all she wanted to do was curl up with cain in their bed when they got back and forget that the world was like this. "at least we got the food?" missy tried to sound positive.
