The sound of someone talking to her made Lola open her green eyes. A hand raked through her hair, leaving a trail of sand behind, but, she didn’t quite mind it. It had been a long time since the last time she’d actually cared about her appearance. Slowly, a smile stretched upon the Spaniard’s features. It might not have been genuine given the circumstances, but, she was willing to try. “It’s just seasickness,” she explained. “I’m gonna be fine, I just… I need a few minutes to breathe.”

he didn't even have a car. he sometimes borrowed his dad's old truck, but salem was walkable. or he took the bus. so, really, dom had no real reason to be at the theater...other than to harass his roommate. he happened to have the night off and, normally, he would have spent his evening lounging on the couch binge watching a new show or finishing up his latest book. instead, the cat that had followed him home had cornered him in the kitchen, tail flicking and pupils dilated, and dom had decided to just...let him be. hopefully he'd be asleep by the time they got home. or gone. gone would be preferable.

"so," he said as he leaned against the counter. "d'you know anything about cats? or how to get rid of them?" he was at a bit of a loss.

Luis was watching his computer with intensity, reading through the files he had been given, and seeing the many emails coming in. He was in the zone, sipping his coffee absent-mindedly, not even being asked if he needed a refill, it was just magically refilled. 

About midday, a menu was slid onto the table, and almost automatically Luis reached for it, seeing another hand being placed on it, he looked up surprised. He smiled at the other person sitting at the same table. “Hi, sorry, you go first.” He paused. “Excuse me, I’m not very talkative, I must look like a complete workaholic.”

Luce outstretched a hand and moved one some loose tendrils of Iris’ hair behind her shoulder as she smiled at the woman. “All things considered, I’m doing well,” she pointed out, emphasizing the statement with a couple of nods. “How about you? When did you get here?” She wondered, especially for she was positive she had not seen Iris at all while back at the former island. “Did anybody hurt you?”
