Location: Astoria’s Beach @laurelgavaris
Albeit their main goal in Astoria was finding any word on Cassie, and their secondary goal was flirting with as many men as possible, Sahid felt like they could make time in their busy schedule to not be dealing with either of those, and instead talk with people who after one conversations didn’t give them the feeling like they were making a giant mistake. Somehow messaging Laurel had taken way more courage than walking up to a random person in a club.
But once the question was out there, and the response was favorable, Sahid’s nerves had settled. They figured if anyone could show them around the beach, it would be her. Also at current - not counting all the men they had flirted with over the course of the last few months - Laurel was the only one who knew about their preference - aka Michael B Jordan. It was nice to have that, and to not be afraid of the consequences.
They looked up with a smile when Laurel appeared, having scanned the crowd like crazy, knowing they still held up the facade of being not-deaf. Which was going to be a problem at some point, but they were still uncomfortable about it all. “Hey! Thank you for wanting to be my beach guide.”
