''That depends'' the Bennett witch spoke looking towards the heratic as she scanned the crowd. ''Is this you offering a dance or to just stand awkwardly with me? I can do either honestly, though if we are standing I do need a drink.''

“  it’s  an  offer  for  either  .  ”  nora  turns  to  face  her  friend  .  “  i  definitely  don’t  mind  dancing  but  the  real  question  is  ,  how  do  you  feel  about  dancing  in  that  dress  ?  don’t  be  me  wrong  ,  it  looks  ABSOLUTELY  stunning  on  you  but  how  comfortable  are  you  ?  or  ––  ”  she  pauses  .  “  drinks  first  and  then  a  dance  ?  ”  /  @thatbennettwitch

" i can't say i am the best dancer , that's why i tend to actively avoid it. " jeremy exclaimed, a cheeky smile on his lips, raising the drink to his mouth and taking a swig , wincing at the taste. he had always hated gatherings like this , mostly due to his clear embarrassment when he got on the dancefloor. " though , if you were to join me , perhaps i wouldn't look silly alone ? unless of course you can dance then , spare me my embarrassment. " he teased with a grin.

“  cute  .  ”  she’ll  roll  her  eyes  and  reach  for  her  drink  .  nora  takes  a  small  sip  ,  savoring  the  taste  of  champagne  .  she’s  always  been  good  at  adapting  and  when  presented  with  the  opportunity  to  attend  an  event  hosted  by  the  mikaelsons  ?  why  not  go  ?  “  only  if  you’re  okay  with  me  leading  .  you  said  you’re  not  the  best  and  i  don’t  wanna  risk  any  chances  of  getting  my  toes  crushed  .  ”  /  @hunterled

"oh please, do you think i wore a dress like this just to stand in the crowds and blend in?" lexi challenged, gesturing to the dress she'd chosen to wear. "i am going to dance, and you should totally come join me."

“  i  was  just  asking  !  you  won’t  believe  the  amount  of  people  i’ve  met  who  choose  to  stand  around  and  look  good  .  and  to  each  their  own  ,  y’know  ?  i  can  appreciate  it  .  ”  nora  responds  with  a  light  laugh  .  “  but  i’m  not  opposed  to  a  dance  so  please  ,  lead  the  way  .  ”  /  @vampyredefender

"hats aren't really my thing." there was an insistance in the woman as she looked at the salesman - an old man, who clearly had a penchant for knitting the most obnoxiously festive hats she'd ever seen. "but i'm sure you're buying one - right?" she nudged the stranger beside her, looking pointedly in the hats directions in an attempt to distract the man from herself.

clicks  her  tongue  against  the  roof  of  her  mouth  as  she  looks  at  the  selection  of  hats  .  “  these  look  like  they’re  an  acquired  taste  .  ”  she’ll  eye  the  selection  of  hats  in  front  of  them  .  “  you  sure  you  don’t  wanna  give  it  a  shot  ?  get  into  the  holiday  spirit  .  this  one  ––  ”  reaches  over  to  grab  a  hat  that  isn’t  so  ...  obnoxiously  festive  .  “  seems  to  suit  you  well  .  ”  it’s  said  in  jest  as  nora  presents  the  hate  to  aeliana  .  “  think  i  might  go  with  the  purple  one  .  ”

         honestly,  she doesn't know if this is tone deaf or not.  but she's too curious !   "you can tell me to fuck off."   like,  she's just setting the boundaries here !  she'll fuck with a mikaelson,  but other witches who've died ?  she feels a sort of kinship with them.   "but how many times have you died?" / @mal3ficas.

she  hums  at  the  younger  witch’s  question  .  and  while  nora’s  no  open  book  ,  she’s  been  around  for  quite  some  time  so  the  question  doesn’t  feel  as  invasive  as  it  probably  should  .  “  just  once  ,  technically  .  ”  does  being  turned  into  a  vampire  count  as  dying  ?  nora’s  not  too  sure  .  “  but  i’ve  definitely  had  many  people  try  to  kill  me  .  that’s  never  fun  .  why  do  you  ask  ?  ”

“  extremist  group  of  vampires  ?  jeeze  ,  you  miss  a  lot  when  you  die  and  then  come  back  to  life  ,  ”  nora  will  sarcastically  jest  .  however  ,  that’s  the  least  surprising  thing  she’s  heard  .  she  knows  how  vampires  can  be  .  just  look  at  what  happened  to  the  coven  of  witches  that  followed  lillian  salvatore  .  “  but  all  valid  points  .  ”  the  elder  hybrid  remarks  .  “  they  definitely  won’t  take  too  kindly  to  me  and  i  take  it  you  belong  in  both  the  category  of  a  hybrid  and-or  werewolf  ?  ”

        there's a pause and she scoffs.   "i'm patient."   nora knows she's lying,  and so does katherine;  but she'll say it to make herself feel better anyway.  alas,  she's trying to be cool,  to be chill.  her vampirism doesn't exist anymore,  so she needs to like  -  take care of her body and not overexert herself,  emotions included.  it's not an easy task.  at least,  she thinks to herself,  it's the day after the shower  -  so there's less people around,  and she and nora can simply  ...  be one with the star energy,  or some witchy rumors as such.  katherine's not that well versed in it.   "fine!"   and though she huffs,  the traveller plops herself down next to the brunette,  thighs touching as she stays close,  for the tempers are lowering and she's not exactly a vampire anymore.  she sits in silence,  letting minutes pass,  listening to the beat of her own heart,  and watching the twinkle of the night sky.   "since i came back? i haven't."   she's always on edge,  and being mortal again doesn't exactly help,  either.

nora  counters  katherine’s  words  with  a  playful  roll  of  her  eyes  and  subtly  gives  the  other  witch  a  once-over  .  while  her  immortality  is  still  very  much  in  tact  ,  that’s  where  she  and  katherine  differ  .  nora  is  all  about  making  the  most  of  her  situation  .  she’s  always  done  well  to  adapt  to  her  surroundings  .  and  after  being  trapped  in  a  prison  world  and  then  sacrificing  herself  ?  she  thinks  she  deserves  to  have  a  moment  to  herself  .  lips  curl  up  into  a  satisfied  grin  as  katherine  plops  down  next  to  her  .  the  simple  act  of  the  other’s  thighs  grazing  hers  further  soothes  her  .  and  maybe  it  is  time  to  move  on  from  mary  louise  .  it’s  a  new  chance  at  life  and  nora  ought  to  take  advantage  of  that  and  try  not  to  live  in  the  past  .  she’ll  let  out  a  sigh  .  “  i  think  you  should  .  i’m  sure  it’ll  be  hard  but  it’s  good  for  the  soul  .  as  will  being  one  with  nature  .  ”  /  @vigilanthrine

thank  god  or  whatever  deity  for  the  invention  of  cell  phones  .  nora  finds  herself  completely  engrossed  ,  stopping  to  admire  the  decorations  and  snapping  a  couple  pictures  here  and  there  .  she’d  been  given  a  second  chance  at  life  and  there’s  a  lot  to  catch  up  on  in  her  opinion  .  and  in  her  efforts  to  capture  yet  another  picture  ,  the  heretic  tries  to  sidestep  the  blonde  only  for  her  to  crash  into  her  .  “  oh  i'm  so  sorry  !  let  me  get  you  a  new  one  ,  ”  she  offers  .  “  there’s  also  a  hot  cider  stall  too  if  you’re  no  longer  feeling  hot  chocolate  .  ”  /  @blondegemini

"Now now." Kai tsked as he kept holding the object the person desired. The hybrid could simply give it back but was no fun at all.Arms extended away keeping it out of the stranger's reach. "What ever happened to saying please?"

“  those  are  some  bold  words  coming  from  someone  who  likely  wouldn’t  say  please  ,  ”  nora  comments  ,  walking  up  to  the  other  .  “  correction:  say  please  and  mean  it  .  ”  /  @coolcobrakai1962

a  small  frown  settles  upon  her  lips  as  she  watches  the  scene  unfold  in  front  of  her  .  not  out  of  disapproval  because  listen  ,  she  gets  it  .  she’s  more  of  an  act  violently  if  disrespected  or  threatened  kinda  person  .  but  nora  supposes  it’s  out  of  intrigue  ?  “  certainly  not  a  bad  skill  to  have  in  your  pocket  ,  ”  the  brunette  comments  .  “  any  reason  why  you’re  feeling  homicidal  on  a  sunday  ?  ”  /  @triblud

pout forms on her lips, the playful side to katherine which died when she turned the salvatores ... perhaps coming back for it's true time within the traveller. "nora, i came here because you said we'd get some ... magic woo-woo stuff out of the meteor shower." that, and katherine's found it a bit harder to say no to the witch hybrid she'd decided to ... get to know better. frowns, looks at the ground where there was a blanket laid out on the grass. "i wasn't informed it involved laying on the cold, hard ground. don't you think i had enough of that in literal hell?" / @mal3ficas.

“  and  we  will  .  ”  eyes  shift  from  the  night  sky  to  katherine  .  “  hasn’t  anyone  ever  told  you  that  patience  is  a  virtue  ?  ”  was  there  something  about  the  meteor  showers  that  could  aid  in  their  magic  ?  honestly  ,  nora  really  couldn’t  tell  you  exactly  what  it  is  .  but  it’s  an  astrological  event  !  it’s  gotta  have  some  benefit  .  and  was  this  a  ploy  to  spend  more  time  with  the  other  witch  ?  maybe  .  “  when’s  the  last  time  you  took  a  moment  for  yourself  ,  katherine  ?  like  really  took  a  moment  ?  just  lay  down  with  me  .  ”  pats  the  spot  on  the  blanket  next  to  her  .  “  it’s  not  that  bad  ,  i  promise  .  ”  /  @vigilanthrine
