Kendall didn’t pay any mind to the person after those words left her mouth. Grabbing her bag she stepped out of her car before finally looking up matching eyes with the boy. She couldn’t speak, she couldn’t get any any words out of her mouth. With a loud gulp, “I live here” whispering out, as if that was all she could do. “What… what are you doing?” she asked not really knowing what to say.

Kaden had rushed off the stage so fast that he had barely taken note of all the people sitting around until a man was talking to him. “I appreciate that, man,” he nodded with a grin and ordered a beer for himself, “I’m not sure if I’ll get back up there tonight without a little more to drink. But I’d take a request.” Kaden smiled at the other male, it was a nervous smile as always when he was talking to someone new. “Uh, I’m Kaden. Are you having a good night?”

“Why are you in charge of the robot building?” Did she know anything about building a robot? God no, she thought it would be pretty cool to learn though. Was she going to act like she did? Yes. “I think I could build a cool pink robot. I could make a pink life saber while I’m at it. I don’t own a gold bikini like Princess Leia so space buns is my contribution.”

           “ RIGHT on —- ” chris laughs, one finger pointing at him in agreement. she raises her one hand, camera entrapped in her fingers. “ oh yeah —- snap, snap that’s me. ” her free hand waves around their surroundings, clusters of people out enjoying the good weather. she pauses at his question ; she feels like she’s working in a grey area sometimes. she grins, “ —- well, i make money off it sometimes so, professional. i GUESS. if you wanna call it that. ”

“ listen, i work at a shelter – i’ve literally had full-length conversations with a cornsnake who, by the way, hates that band whitesnake. ” what were some other notable examples… “ a co-worker of mine literally interrogated a rat like he’d committed a felony of the highest degree. i’ve seen way stranger than a guy pondering with his pets – you’re good. ”

“and what are those two types of people?” pandora questioned turning her head to look at him. this answer could be great or rather embarrassing for her. her hand moved to pet the dog and then the duck, a smile gracing her features. “i don’t think anyone expects to be the proud owner of a duck. it’s great that you took him in and are giving him a home.” after another bite of her cookie, pandora looked over at him and shrugged her shoulders. “are you trying to tell me drying fruit is normal? it’s a weird texture.” she laughed. “sorry, that’s probably one of the most random facts someone has figured out about me.”

Anyone and everyone pls feel free to help me name him 🙈🙈 it’s been 24 hours.

“the shop is called pointed out tattoos, owned by trent. if you know him.” she replied. it was nice to know that people actually see her work. that really made her day better now. “yeah–yes,” she said with a really shy smile. “I take the flowers soak them in ink and then put it on a white canvas, it helps me with the sketch.” kim explained her art to the guy she just met. 

Collins was on his normal, daily run. He loved running outside much more than indoors because it gave him time to leave his home. He was typically stuck inside staring at a screen for work, so any other type of environment was welcomed. “Is that a duck?” He was amused as he stared at the duck and then the guy talking to the duck. He contemplated for a moment and figured that if it was socially acceptable for people to talk to dogs and cats, then it should be with other creatures too.

          it’s EXACTLY for moments like this that chris takes a camera with her near everywhere — now this is a new one for her, and she frames up the odd scene and snaps off a few candids. it’s not creepy — DEFINITELY not. a girl needs her photography practice. it’s curiosity not guilt that brings her closer to the guy ( close enough that he catches his first sentence though she doesn’t think it’s directed at her ) ; if anything this promises to be a good conversation at least and if it’s one thing she hates it’s being BORED. “ darn — and here i thought you were just crazy. ”
