     “ Yeah , well , I never am satisfied in being told what to do , am I ? ” The brunette stares at the floor . The air was so thick it was suffocating . “ So what , then ? Have you come here to rub my nose in the dirt ? ”

     It was hard to be kind in this moment , feeling so many emotions . She didn’t want to be mad at Marco ; she felt a twinge of regret the moment the words left her mouth ... But she didn’t know how else to express her emotions , for better or for worse . In this case , for worse .

“...” The young man wasn’t sure how to respond after such a heartfelt confession. Josie has always been kind of a cheerful carefree kind of person, the type of person who could light up an entire room with her attitude. But... there were certain moments, just like this one which she allowed herself to be vulnerable, and... Hitoshi always struggled how to deal with that side of her. He’s never been much of an emotional boy so he was used to just dismiss or outright ignore emotional outbursts usually. But Josie was a special case... he wanted to be there for her... as corny as that may sound.

I read “I wanna give my ass my full attention” and im-

It wasn’t a rarity for him to spot people looking like they were struggling with something. He’s been all over the world at this point, so he’s learned to see the silent language we all communicate with our faces - our postures - our movements. And so on.  He didn’t need to see any of the more subtle things on this girl’s face though, because the grocery bags piled in her arms said more than enough on their own. It looked kind of wobbly, like it might collapse at any moment. His brows arch nervously, as he briskly but quietly walks up beside - tries not to make too much of a scene.

Kindness is something Atieno wouldn't really describe for themself. They can do kind things.. but it's hard for them to deal with the whole knowledge of what they are and think of themselves too well.

But now was not the time for that, they were just looking after this individual for the moment. They could tell she wasn't used to being around here and the fact that she asked about 'permission' is an immediate sign.

"Okay.. um. Permission is when you say it's okay for someone to do something. It's usually asked when someone is trying to touch you for any reason, people should make sure you are okay with them doing so. " They examined her and the box behind her, having a few questions coming to mind.

Atieno can recognize when someone was looking at them, staring even. Their attention quickly turned to the younger-looking being, intrigued by the sheer starry nature that seemed to radiate off of her. Ati offered a slight little smile, almost offering a silent greeting to her.

The sight of the pigtail breaking was enough to give them a bit pause, even more so when she has such a reaction.

"Hey. Hey... " they turned to kneel down a little bit so that they could help her.

"One of your pigtails has .. snapped. So I guess your hair is broken. But it can be fixed pretty easily." They reach into their pocket, digging in for a small band.

Send me a 🍾 to play spin the bottle with my muses uwu | @trustedmoons

She isn’t quite sure who, between the group of them, decided it would be a good idea to play spin the bottle like they were a bunch of high schoolers.  Honestly, she isn’t really sure how she convinced Frankie to join in, but there he is, sitting just to her left.

Always one to take the lead, the shifter goes first.  Slim fingers wrap around the bottle, spinning it upon its side and watching as it slows to a halt.  The bottle just barely spins past her, neck pointing to Frankie.  Could she take it easy on him?  Sure.  Does she?  Absolutely not.

Oz didn't expect to receive a present from Echo. Of all his acquaintances, Echo was one of the most unpredictable people. But the fact that she thought about him and prepared a present for him warmed his heart. He felt happier. Oz pulled out a small box with a blue bow from his pocket. There was a beautiful hairpin that would fit Echo very well.

"Thank you very much, Echo-chan! I am very happy that you thought of me. I have prepared a present for you too!"
