"i won't say no." danika hadn't pulled away from bax yet, though the music had stopped, the next song just barely starting. there was something, some small voice in the back of her mind, that told her to not let go yet. that wanted nothing more than to keep his hand in hers for the rest of the night. "you're better at dancing than you are at flirting."

"everything isn't meant to be okay," danika shrugged, watching erica for a moment. "there really isn't more to it, you know? sometimes things just don't fucking work out, it sucks but it's how it goes, right? no use in getting upset over something you can't control."

"technically, it's not really impersonating a noble for you, is it, princess?" danika nudged her friend's shoulder with a laugh, trying to keep their own voice down a bit as they walked into the thick of the crowd, keeping her head high like they belonged her. "they're going to just smell the commoner on me." she snorted, pulling bryce along with them.

"not even a little bit, honestly, they really could have stepped it up. at least a few more believable jumpscares would've been nice." it wasn't a bad haunted house, but danika was sort of hoping for more.. but then again, they probably set it up so it was accessible for most demographics.. bummer but whatever. "we should find a really scary one before the seasons over."

"alright, that's my bad," danika pulled her foot back, an apology clear on her expression as she looked back up at nat. "the bartender has been very generous, so sorry about that." she added before adjusting a little more. "do you have a drink? you should get a drink. come on."

"i ain't proud of all the punches that i've thrown," and god, how fucking many fights had she been in in her time? some of them weren't exactly necessary, some weren't ones that she would ever want to recount, but there were also fights that she knew were unavoidable. like this one, that left her with a busted lip and some drunk being escorted out of the bar while she accepted an ice pack from hunt. "but i am pretty proud of that one."

"i won't lie, if there's somethin' to be gained," danika shrugged, bottle to her lips as she relaxed against the booth next to angel. "i'm gonna go for it. why let an opportunity pass, right?"
