Aurica drums her fingers on the table. "Is there anything else you wanted to talk about, or...?"

"Nothing really comes to mind, no..."

"It's okay, you don't have to share if you don't want to."

"I... would rather not get into the details now, no."

"That's fine by me. See you around?"

"See you two around." 

Aurica gets up from the booth and offers a hand to Pigeon to help her up as well.

She accepts, and the pair of them walk off arm in arm, Pigeon's wing still wrapped around Aurica's back.

Tabs balls her hands into fists beneath the table, but when Aurica looks back at her, she smiles. 

So. Her alt wants to invite her over to see her new girlfriend and sling mud at her progress with Lily. Two can play that game. She'll just have to - 

Come out as a little to Lily?

Ugh.

She unfolds her hands, and rubs at the red marks her nails left on her palms. 

Maybe she should just give up now. 

Her phone's dingely-dingely-beep rouses her from her reverie, and on reflex she raises it to her ear. 

"Hello?"

"Hey Audrey!"

"Hi, Hannah." She sighs.

"Hey. You doing okay?"

"It's nothing. Nothing important anyway."

"I won't pry. But I will ask if you'd like to come to Club Farseek with me."

"Isn't that for extroverts?"

"Says the girl who arranged a threesome on her third day in the Bowers."

"Um." She passes her phone to her other ear, crossing one arm across her body.

"I'll be right there with you the entire time. You can't tell me you're scared of a bar after all the stuff you've shared with me."

"Just so we're clear, I don't drink."

"Have you tried it?"

"Well, no, but..."

"You don't know what you're missing out on."
