time for a visit with the bestie. - @wiprus.
thunder and lightning strike above her head, and aurora pulls her hood up and over, trying to keep herself as dry as possible from this downpour. it soaks into the ground almost immediately, making the dirt turn into a slick mud that cakes into the bottom of her boots, and she slips and slides a bit in her run. trying to dodge the rain drops has always been something aurora's gotten accustomed to - thinking she can outrun the incessant droplets, but alas, she knows she's doing absolutely nothing but soaking herself further.
slipping into the spread eagle, she beelines it towards the bar, surprised to see that ophelia is working today. a bright smile spreads across her features as she saddles up to it and sits on one of the barstools, away from other potential patrons. pulling her hood down, she is overcome with the urge to begin shaking her head like a wet dog, drenching anyone that would dare come close. maybe that'll keep 'em off her.
when ophelia comes over she presses a kiss to the tip of her fingers and places it on her friend's nose, an act of annoyance none the less but the other girl seems to allow it. aurora knows she's got a soft spot for her, and despite all that she's been through, ophelia is one of the only people she knows she can trust completely ( aside from scarlett, that is ).
"how's your shift goin'?"
the brunette asks, tucking a dampened piece of hair back behind her ear before reaching for the glass ophelia has set down in front of her. she doesn't know what is in it, but trusts the other girl as she takes a sip. it's not whiskey - but moonshine. something she probably acquired from one of the people makin' it outta their home. that’s just a little bit illegal though - but it'll do, and it warms her insides nicely.
she can't have too many of these or she'll be in a coma, that's for sure.
