@sadauroras (mari) sent: ❛ why are you avoiding me? ❜
IT WAS NO SECRET THAT NATALIE HAD BEEN DODGING just about everyone as much as possible since her forced arrival at Camp Green-whatever. But yeah, Mari especially was one of her top main avoidances, for several reasons. Part of her is surprised that the other brunette even cared or noticed, so when she's confronted by the obvious fact, Nat's a bit taken aback. Her spine straightens as feet slightly stumble in place before she finally scoffs and turns her attention away with arms stubbornly crossed over her chest.
❝ Seriously—? ❞ When she does meet Mari's gaze again, it's with a sterner expression, tongue licking across thinned lips in that brief moment of pause. They may have gone through some serious, fucked up shit together in the past, but that didn't make them friends, even now. Nor had they been friends, really, back then. ❝ Because the last thing I need right now after being ambushed and dragged into this fucked up place against my will is whatever slew of bullshit you've got ready to go at my expense, that's why. ❞
Bad enough that everyone around them knew about Nat's little attempt and she could feel the stares on her at every given moment, sometimes even when she was sitting alone in her room. Maybe that might have been a delusion, but it didn't make her feel any less uncomfortable overall. Arms finally uncross and she elevates them if only to slap both hands against the outside of her thighs as if in some defeat, ❝ but alright, let's have at it then. What'ya got for me, huh?
Or are you just gonna try and convince me that Lottie's still the epitome of perfection; the perfect messiah you've always known her to be and all she wants is what's best for me and everyone here like some Goddess Saint with her woo-woo shenanigans, deserving of whatever pedestal you refuse to take her off of? Jesus, Mari… twenty-five years and you still have your head so far up her ass… it's fucking pathetic. ❞
