selfish tendencies come out to play — she’ll think of herself alone , as she’s done a thousand times , “ ugh , you’re a TOTAL life saver , ” wide smile , yet , today … it’s weighing differently . ( perhaps it’s all FINALLY catching up with her ?? ) “ well , that’s no fun — ! i love free drinks , but … ” a pause , change of heart . “ we should do something fun for … both of us . — ‘s there a reason you can’t have some , anyway ? ” overstepping boundaries … it’s just something she’s good at .
the former ghost boy nodded, confident he knew his drinks well enough to pick out something the other would like. he watches as the bartender prepares them, finding it interesting how drinks are made since he often learned how to make them on his own. “ hm? ” his gaze shifts back to her. “ uh, a promise. i’m having enough fun --- ” he paused when the shots were finally placed in front of them. “ anyways, try it! ”

“ you don’t reckon we should change that ? ” head will tilt slightly to the right , fingers moving to tuck golden locks behind her ear . gaze will fall from his face , to the ground . she’s not one for getting excited about festival activities — but there were ways around that , certainly . “ i’m not so sure this kind of thing is my … style , but . being drunk would help ! ”
“ yeah, we --- wait, i can’t.” he stopped himself, internally patting himself on the back for resisting the temptation of alcohol. “ alright, well, i can’t get drunk but i can help you get drunk. i used to be pretty good at it, after all. ” he chuckled, waving down the bartender. “two -- no three white gummy bear shots.” he turned back to the princess. “these taste so good and totally go with spring vibe.”
the halloween prince was letting himself ride high on the good feelings of the festival. slightly tipsy but not wasted, he was trying to get better after all. “ damn, you caught me on the one day i don’t have my old friend jack daniels with me ! ” the male chuckled, offering his sympathies. “ but enjoy the good mood and let go. have you seen the face painting booth, yet? they got some wicked stuff going on, i’m thinking of asking to get a skull painted on me. ” a fitting tribute to his father.
in clutch : a small designer wallet in her right hand , and a tall glass of pink moscato in her left … though it’s EMPTY , by now . the spring festival ? it’s supposed to be fun . it’s supposed to be happy . but for someone like charity ? it’s only BORING . there’s talks of unity , and of banishing tensions between vks and aks . and perhaps all that is good , it’s just … charity doesn’t care . after all — it hardly concerned her . she’s an ak . she’s royalty . so , cue dramatics ! she wants to have some fun of her own . “ SIGH . if i’m going to get through this , i don’t need another drink . i need another bottle . ”
