📍bar con vista al mar — La barra no es un lugar seguro, pero sí uno que se siente bastante familiar. Resignada a beber lo que parece jugo de manzana de una copa demasiado elegante para su contenido, Siobhan suelta un suspiro detrás del trago. “Pensé que el salón no sería tan abrumador,” comenta a quien supone por sus ropas que hace parte de la gala, sobre el tenue ruido de la música ahora lejana, “pero la entrada fue suficiente para mí. ¿Te molestaría acompañarme una copa?

"...is there anything I can do for you?...I mean, you can even tell me to stop talking and I can do that, too, i'm told that I sometimes do that too much, so..." he chuckles halfheartedly, feeling a pink tint reaching his ears as he babbles.

"If you're not busy or waitin' on anybody, my table is right over there. You're more than welcome to join. Honestly, I wish you would. My friends are all scattered 'round here somewhere and I could really use the company."
