Room 327- Wednesday after classes

[notconflicted]

It'd taken a while for Sia to realize there was anything going on, just because, well, she wasn't in the habit of licking herself. And then at some point between class and now, she'd bit her lip unthinkingly and now she was annoying herself in trying to figure out what that taste was.

She dropped her things on her bed, stopping to lick her lips again. Yeah, she was pretty sure she was champagne-flavored today. Minus the alcohol content.

[Princesses get to taste fancy. Door and post open!]

"Human Shield Guy?" Olive asked, frowning. "Why? Does he drink a lot of champagne?"

[notconflicted]

"He seems to have made it his mission to try and get me to loosen up by taking me drinking," she explained. "...Human Shield Guy?"

"I'm going to hide behind him if I get shot at," Olive explained, for a very special definition of the word 'explanation.' "But he's not totally wrong. I don't really drink, so I'm not endorsing that, but loosening up wouldn't kill you."

[notconflicted]

"And yet I feel perfectly fine the way I am," Sia said.

Going out with Atton meant she could let her filter go just enough to snark with him easier. You have your hobbies, Sia has hers. Otherwise, though, it felt dangerous being in hiding and loosening up too much.

"Well, sure, and you know, power to your self-esteem and all," Olive replied, "but I mean, it's kind of fun to just be a dork sometimes? Like, we should totally have a dumb movie-slash-manicure kind of night sometime."

This was Olive missing Rhiannon, yes. But look at her make new friends! Kinda!

[notconflicted]

Sia would probably never really be able to be a dork, realistically speaking. She was a Fel and part Hapan, that sort of thing had probably been bred right out of her. But what Olive was suggesting seemed harmless enough.

"We could do that," she agreed.

"Sweet. And there can be drinking if you'd really like," she added with a smile. "Atton would approve."

[notconflicted]

"In that case, we can definitely do without drinking."

Because Sia could be a pain to Atton even when he wasn't around.

"Is this like a love-hate thing or just a hate-hate thing?" Olive asked, lifting a brow.

[notconflicted]

"We have a friendship based on a solid foundation of riling each other up." She didn't care if he said he didn't do it on purpose.

[dirtiest-skank.livejournal.com]

"I bet you do," Olive agreed, knowingly.

She didn't know anything, no.

[notconflicted]

And the frown was back. "What does that mean?"

[dirtiest-skank.livejournal.com]

"Nothing. I just think it's adorable," Olive decided.

[notconflicted]

Sia shook her head. "No," she said. "There will be none of that."

"I'm sorry for teasing you about something that's very sensitive," Olive assured her.

[notconflicted]

"It's not sensitive at all. I simply don't want you getting the wrong idea," Sia told her.

[dirtiest-skank.livejournal.com]

"Mm-hmm. There is a very fine line between riling each other up and, you know, riling each other up," Olive said, and yes, she totally waggled her eyebrows.

[notconflicted]

"That may be, but not in this case," she said, completely calm. "I'm being honest, it isn't like that at all."

[dirtiest-skank.livejournal.com]

"Maybe not yet," Olive replied, nodding. "I'm gonna pull for you crazy kids."

More accurately, she was going to tease Sia about Atton basically forever without expecting results.

You're welcome.
