"Don't flatter yourself too much, it's a safety hazard," Isabela scoffed, though the edge of her words was entirely ruined by the amused twitch of her lips. She leaned her forearms against the bar top and allowed her chin to rest in her hands, tilting her head as she watched them take a sip. Her gaze lingered on the smug smirk playing across Alejandra's face. It was infuriating how charming they managed to look even while slightly slurring their words, a fact Isabela had absolutely no intention of admitting aloud. "I said I enjoyed the company, not that I was lookin' to join you in whatever hangover you're buildin' for tomorrow," they countered smoothly, their tone dripping with playful sarcasm. She gestured with her chin toward the glass in Alejandra's hand. "And as for your supposed high tolerance, we'll just have to see if you're still singin' that same tune when you're tryin' to stand up in a little bit."

“you might be on to something.” however, sadly for nico the only curse she was the victim of was a jealous best friend. it might’ve been easier for arden just to not offer to set her up but she felt like she had a little more control over the situation by somehow making everyone nico could be involved with an awful option. “maybe… but i mean, it can’t all be bad, right?”

now, iris didn't make a habit out of looking at her brother's girlfriends and wanting. it was hardly a secret that she liked women above all else but family's partners tended to be off limits. to a degree, of course. rylee was quite an exception. it likely had more to do with how her brother treated such a kind, beautiful woman. it genuinely escaped iris when she tried to understand why the two were even a couple, especially given how poor the attention could be from her brother, through no fault of rylee. "mhm," iris hums, glancing back out the window to where her brother and his friends laugh and joke, none the wiser to his girlfriend inside, wising up to how poor he was of a human being. "yeah, that's probably true. doesn't it get tiring?" iris knows she's walking a fine line here, but she can't help herself, looking back at rylee as she reaches up to tug the sheer curtains across the window, softly blocking out the view from outside. "he's not a good guy. how do you even put up with him? i mean... if i had a girl as beautiful as you, i wouldn't let you out of my sight. i especially wouldn't let you walk out thinking i didn't care about you at all."
