#veracalma

location: near the open bar 

Adee didn’t really want to be here. Despite feeling grateful for Mei and Ren’s hospitality letting her stay at their place for a while, she wasn’t in a celebratory mood, but the open bar was too good of an opportunity to pass up on. It was why she barely strayed from her spot there, already feeling tipsy despite it still being early in the evening. “Oh, crap,” Adee said, as she tripped over her feet when she turned around, spilling some of her drink on Vera’s dress. Or rather, her chest. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to,” she said, her voice already in a slight slur.

“Vera, come on,” Toby muttered as he held onto her waist, pulling her away from Azra. He had gotten used to this happening, back when they were still dating, and he understood Vera’s strength. He knew that if she continued, she’d end up injuring Azra in a way that could have her end up in the hospital so he pulled her away once he saw the fight got uglier. “You’ll end up hurting yourself at this point,” He pointed out, his voice low as he looked down at her, concern evident in his eyes, though he was already preparing himself for how she’d react, knowing her well enough to know she wasn’t going to be happy.

Toby: I can't believe this is happening again
