Houston went out for a drink as a treat for himself, but soon remembered why he preferred to drink at his place. He found the other patrons to be loud and obnoxious. He stayed out for a second drink before closing his tab. He was putting his debit card back into wallet as he walked through the exit, when he bumped into someone. Out of habit, he looked over at them, about to apologize when she spoke first. “Yeah no, as if it was entirely my fault.”

“-or you got bones of glass or something,” she retorted quickly, “You’re still standing,” and still mouthing off, she thought but kept that part to herself. Technically she wasn’t supposed to be at the bar at all- in fact, it wasn’t technical issue, it was a legal one. There probably wasn’t a person in town that didn’t know she was underage, it was the curse of living in a place with a population of six and a half, she considered. She cleared her throat, reminded of the power imbalance between them, Arwen could have MJ out on her ass within seconds, even without the collision between them, “Sorry, alright?” it wasn’t particularly sincere but it was something, “Wasn’t paying attention,” she conceded and it was as close to humility as she was going to get, it seemed.

arwen recognized the girl from around town, baby-faced and all, her brows furrowed even further. “what’re you even doing here?” she nodded toward the bar, mj’s apology instantly going out the window. she burrowed her hands deeper in her denim jacket, trying to keep herself warm in the iowa winter. “you look a little young to even be hanging around a bar. what’s your name?” 

it’s just moonie again --- back at it with another muse! this is arwen dylan, who is the baby sister to ethan dylan. like all of my muses, she’s a hot mess --- so i apologize ahead of time for her behavior. again, if you want to plot with me, feel free to give this baby a like or hit me up on discord ( 𝟗𝟎'𝐒 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄#8111 )

*       MADDIE HASSON + CISFEMALE + SHE/HER —— have you seen ARWEN DYLAN around? they’re a TWENTY-THREE year old BARTENDER known around town as the MAESTRO. not only are they broke af, but they’ve been in town for TWENTY YEARS. they’re ZEALOUS + DIAGNOSTIC, as well as BLAZING + THWARTFUL, but what else would you expect from a ARIES? paint stained hands, cigarettes dangling from pinks lips, and furrowed brows with deep thought and concentration.
