❝        ARE YOU TRAVELING ALONE ?       ❞        between the tilt of her head   &   the arch of her brow,   she manages a small smile.   alas,   what is she if not a girl adrift   /   no anchor,   no place to rest ?   just a cold creature sewn together with mottled blue  -  purple  -  black flesh   &   spite   &   sharp teeth,   sword in hand   &   decaying girlhood worn like a cloak.       ❝      i am,   though i think MOST people wouldn’t recommend it.        ❞

                    ——   “ well   …   this is a dance studio . ” bizarre   ,   that’s the first word she would pin on the woman.  (  a  FOREIGNER  perhaps   —   it seemed likely with her appearance and her manners of speaking .  )   her confusion only seemed to grow the more the girl spoke, to the point that was almost tempted to sit down for the sake of fully understanding the  SITUATION  she was getting herself into. “ how   old   are you   —   ? ” if she were to pin the other’s age, she might just place it at  SIXTEEN  at most . “ do you need to use my phone   ?   i can call a taxi for you . ”
