"Alright..I'll try.." they smile a bit before resting their head against the window again and closing their eyes, listening to the relaxing music and the sounds of rain starting to hit the car. It was peaceful..and nice..they finally felt safe
Belladonna drove quietly, her eyes narrowed as she watches the road. She was glad that the other was going to get some sleep. She hummed along with the radio as she turned on the windshield wipers. At times she would glance over at Orion and make sure they were okay before returning her attention to the road.
Orion slowly starts drifting off, sighing softly and curling up a bit more. It was pretty much a miracle they were even able to fall asleep with something so exciting yet so stressful coming up in only a few hours- but somehow they managed it
It was good to see that Orion was sleeping. The drive was fairly short now that they were asleep. As promised, Belladonna stopped at a restaurant. She woke Orion so they could get some food, seeming chipper and in a good mood the closer they got to HQ.
Orion blinks a few times and yawns when they were woken up, sitting up in their seat and looking around. "Mm..hey.." they mumble and glance out the front windshield at the restaurant, humming a little and leaning back in their seat slightly
She smiles a little bit, "Hey there sleepyhead. How was your nap?" She asks cheerfully, her eyes bright as she leans over the seat the find her backpack in the back seat, humming when she found it and started digging through it to find her wallet. "Aha! Here it is!"
Orion smiles a bit and looks at Belladonna, humming in response and watching her for a bit. "Good..you seem really cheerful" they shiver and glance back out the window, watching some raindrops run down the window
She nods. "Yeah. HQ is basically home. We consider each other family with those we fight with." She giggles and grabs an umbrella. "You hungry?" Belladonna always loved to grab food before heading to HQ. It was always good to be top notch when entering the building.
"Not really, though I am thirsty. Is it ok if I get a drink instead?" They smile and look over at Belladonna again, smiling and unbuckling their seatbelt, still watching her
Belladonna nods, "Of course! Just make sure to use the bathroom before we head out again." She chuckles and gets out of the car, using the umbrella to shield herself before shutting the door and walking to the passengers side so that Orion wouldn't get wet.
They nod and open the door carefully so that they wouldnt hit Belladonna with it, stepping out and closing the door behind them. They duck underneath the umbrella, smiling up at Belladonna gratefully. "Alright then, let's go inside"
She waits for them patiently, a sweet smile falling over her lips as she nods. "Inside we shall go then!" She hummed and put the umbrella between the two of them before she opened the door to the restaurant for Orion. "Here you are!"
Orion smiles widely, stepping inside the resteraunt and holding watching Belladonna for a bit. They loved how she smiled, it was so pretty, and calming..it made them feel safe, safer than they had felt for a while
The restaurant was warm, the sweet aroma of food wafting through the air. She hummed in content, "This is one of my favorite places to eat." She giggles quietly, "Are you sure you're not hungry?" She asks gently, a warm smile on her lips.
(Omfg I swear it didn't give the notification- I swear I checked and didn't see your response I am so so so so so sorry!!)
(No worries!!)
(Still, really sorry)
(It's okay!)
Thank you, I've just been so busy and I'm really sorry if I keep not responding for long periods of time)) Orion smiles to them self and puts their hands in their pockets, tilting their head. "Pff, well from the smell of this place it is starting to make me hungry!" Orion giggles softly and keeps following them
(Hey no worries! We all need breaks!)
She laughed a bit in reply and hums, "Well then, we can get you something to eat then. Don't worry. We get free food here." She lifts her arm to reveal her wisteria tattoo. "Comes with having the restaurant so close to HQ."
Thank you-) "Oh, thats cool" they smile and glance at the tattoo, tilting their head before looking ahead again. They really enjoyed their time with Belladonna-
Belladonna nods and smiles, "If you're not a fan of tattoos, then there's always the license option." She shrugged and waves over a waiter. He guides them to a table before letting them be to choose what they wanted to eat.
"I don't really mind tattoos, I've always wanted one really" they shrug, sitting down across from Belladonna and humming softly. They smile, watching her for a bit before looking down at the menu
She nods and smiles a bit before clicking her tongue. "The process they use, as well as where you want it determines pain factors. It only hurts for a little while." Her eyes skim the menu as she talks. She already knew what she wanted. "The burgers here are really good." She hummed, setting her menu down.
"Alright!" They hum softly, and read the menu, deciding to get a burger as well. They smile and look up at Belladonna, watching her for a bit before looking around the restaraunt.
