Alicia got up and ordered herself another drink at the bar, standing next to the boy she assisted.

Alicia saw the boy order, 'why would he order water at a bar? im not even twenty one and ordering alcohol.' she thought, taking a sip from her drink.

Gabriel glanced at her, but promptly averted his gaze.

'why's he being so awkward? this is the best place to make friends.' Alicia thought, taking a sip of her drink and looking back at him.

He hesitantly took a drink of his own glass of water, nonsensically making the awkward pause midway to his mouth to avoid the two drinking at the exact same time. Which, still.. would have been no less awkward to him.

Alicia's eyes met his for a second and she smiled warmly, trying to let him know he could loosen up a bit.

He blinked, and as if he heard her say it aloud, he nodded slightly and let his tensed shoulders relax a little. He pushed his thumb along the condensated surface of his glass, leaving a clear trail against the dewy fog.

(Why hello! May I use Hashy- Hashbrown Johnson and Ro Rosa Estanyos?

((sure!

"see your loosening up." Alicia laughed a little bit, looking at the man finally let loose his tension.

Hashbrown walked with Rosa, but she was avoiding Rosa at the same time

He finally smiled a little, "I don't come to parties much," he admitted with a quiet laugh, fixing his dark green coat.

"you should," Alicia replied, "I can see you more often."

"Why would you want to see me, specifically?" He interested with a curt smile, sipping his water.

Alicia took a small sip of her drink and giggled, "i dont know, youre kinda cute."

"cute?" He squinted, but on the contrary his lips twitched with a flattered grin. He let his natural French accent thicken, for amusement mostly, "Why do you flatter me, chérie? We barely know one another," he poised his tone as a sort of a challenge— as if, in the undertone of context, I dare to see how well you can get to know me in one measly evening.

Alicia smirked at the man, opening her stained lips once more, "well, lets start knowing. My names Alicia."

"Gabriel." He answered on his own behalf, "Or Gabe, if you please."

"Gabe… I like it. what do you do Gabe?" She inquired, finishing off her drink. She fiddles with her lipstick and reapplied the faded layer to her berry red lips.

"For a job?" He tilted his head, "If any sherriff asks, I'm an office worker," he smiled a little bit.

"oh, well, if any sheriffs ask, i'm twenty two. anyway! I'm a singer and a dressmaker looking for love." Alicia responded, sliding her glass across the counter towards the bartender.

"Looking for love is part of the job description, eh?" He teased, sipping his drink.

"yup, i'm fucking desperate." Alicia sighed.

"Hm." He laughed through his nose, looking off to the wall for a moment. "Sounds like a rough job."

"It doesn't have to be." Delilah smiled, "I have a proposal, would you like to come see the movie set for the latest Delilah Pip movie?"
