Maroon scoffed, "I know you don't like me. Why are you talking to me as if you care? I'm going to die soon anyway. I'll never find a cure."
Maroon scoffed, "I know you don't like me. Why are you talking to me as if you care? I'm going to die soon anyway. I'll never find a cure."
“You think I don’t like you?” Lucy asked slowly, frowning. “What would make you think that I don’t like you? And I do genuinely care, for that reason exactly.” She leaned back in her seat, resting her hands loosely in her lap.
"No one likes me."
"I like you." Robin commented. "But my opinion probably doesn't mean much to you, does it?"
“I feel like that may be an exaggeration. I don’t hate you, I think you are interesting,” Lucy said, her tone level. She picked up her glass, finishing the rest of her drink.
Maroon arched an eyebrow and looked at the small boy. "Well, I can't lie and say that it does, after all I've only known you, for what? Two hours?"
Maroon grinned at Lucy, "Is that why you stole that blood from my lab?"
Robin looked at Lucy, confused. "Is that what you were doing? You never really told me."
Lucy laughed and nodded slowly. “I knew it was all too obvious. Is it true about the setbacks? Because if so, I’m sure Bennett can get it from the rift.”
Maroon shook his head, "It's too late. The blood would probably stick to the vials and not one drop can be wasted. I'll have a setback, but it won't set me back years, like I said, just an hour or two. I only started working on this blood two weeks ago. That's a lot of time. For me at least."
Bennett downed his glass.
"Drinking age is much lower here, but young people can only get certain drinks… Watch this"
As he spoke, he grew a tad, his limbs became longer and more muscular, his eyes changed to a different color of purple, and his physique hardened. He looked as if he were 21 now.
"Lemme get a suicide at table two."
The waitress presented a clear liquid with a rainbow complexion. "See?" He said, reverting back to normal.
Robin watched as Bennett drank some of the alcohol, intrigued. "Is it any good?"
"The blood?" He said. "It's in a rift separate from both time and space, it's the same as when I put it in." He drew it from a newly made rift, it was good as new.
"S'alright," he said. "Not that bad."
"What?" Robin looked confused. "I was talking about the… rainbow thing. But thanks for the extra info."
"Yeah," he said about the glass in front of him.
“Oh, thank god.” Lucy took the vial from Bennett and handed it back to Maroon, then nudged her glasses back up farther.
"If I didn't plan ahead, what kind of deity would I be?"
(Epic foreshadowing)
Lucy chuckles softly. “Yeah, smart move.” She got up from her seat, excusing herself for a moment, leaving her bag next to the booth. She walked towards the back and to the small restroom. She took her glasses off and splashed at her face with cold water.
Bennett watched her leave, hoping she was OK.
Allura loitered at a table in the back corner, continuing to watch the group with interest. She'd seen the guy they called Bennet change his shape. Something was happening here. She followed the girl with glasses into the restroom, doing her best to look like another drunk patron.
Lucy looked at herself in the mirror, studying her pupils as they dialated, and she could feel the effects of her pills setting in and she exhaled slowly as her mind felt slightly numb. Her headache faded away, but her nose began to bleed once again and she quickly collected a few tissues, dabbing the blood away.
Odette turned back to where the group had previously been. They had left her behind. She decided to do the only thing she knew how- she opened her bag and grabbed a handful of rubber duckies, leaving a trail behind her in case they came back.
( sorry I haven't replied for ages!! I've been in class >w< )
Allura stepped forward, determined to find out what the girl was doing.
"Are you alright?" she asked the girl.
