Popping into the bathroom of the bar, Dexter rolled his shoulders and winked at the man he startled before making his way out of the restroom. The night was early, yet, and he was looking for a companion for a couple hours. His house back at Eden had been rather lonely while the Kingdom was in mourning, hopefully that was going to change sooner rather than later.

Slipping in between people, he ordered a whiskey from the bartender. Dexter let his eyes scan the people that had decided to have a night of fun. Eyes locking on a man sitting at a table, he grabbed the drink from the bartender before blinking out of existence for a moment before reappearing sitting next to the man. Tongue darting out to wet his lips, Dexter gave a toothy grin, his eyes dragging along the figure of the man.

“I'd offer to buy you a drink, but it seems we both already have one,” he said, cocking his head to the side. “I don't think you and I have ever been introduced. I'm Dex.”

A HELPFUL TEXT 

miscellaneous angst starters. (omerta, past)

Aurora tried to look stony and expressionless as she tossed clothes onto the bed and necessities she’d be bringing with her. Her father’s words echoed in her mind with the pain of a throbbing wound: You’re not the daughter that I loved. You’re not the daughter that I loved. You’re not the daughter that I loved.

Even though she tried to wash the blood off her hands, she could still see stains of it underneath her finger nails. She had paused and fell onto her bed to sit and stare at the sanguine coloration she had failed to wash off. Aurora remembered the bright light she’d seen in front of her and the beautiful, warm, healing color that emanated from her hand at the same time. The same hands that stuck that knife into her father’s friend’s throat. The same hands that were still stained with blood now.

The house was empty at this hour and Aurora forgot Darius sometimes liked to stop by. She barely made motion to look up at him as she heard her bedroom door open. He paused, clearly gathering that something was terribly wrong at the entrance. ‘What’s wrong?’ Aurora finally looked up. She was quiet - almost emotionless. She didn’t know what to say.

‘You’ve been crying, I can tell.’

He made his way over and the look in his eyes as he noticed the pile of clothes on her bed made Aurora’s heart break. She realized than and there - this had to be good bye. The realization made her eyes sting and her throat clog up. And though she tried her best not to let tears surface, she started to feel the dampness in the side of her eyes as she looked at Darius. ‘Tell me how to make it better.’

Aurora looked down again, taking in a shaky inhale. For a few heartbeats, she composed herself and didn’t speak. Then she looked up, searching his face and trying to memorize every inch of it all over again. As if her heart wasn’t already shattered to pieces, she felt what was left of it crush into dust.

“ — There’s nothing you can do, Dare,” Aurora said, her voice weak and quiet.
