"It's fine. I'm okay. Really. Are you okay, though?" It didn't look like he was hurt in this darkness, but just to be sure.

"Yes, just tired. But that is basically a constant state. ...maybe we should get back home if you do not find the reason for our being here particularly important?"

2015-06-29 09:32:08

●

"Yeah, that's probably a good thing to do. Lance is probably worried sick of me and will probably get Cale in order to find us both."

2015-06-29 09:33:11

🌀

"That would not be ideal. Let us get going then." He took her hand again, so as not to lose her on the dark walk back towards the city and moved down the boardwalk. I'd congratulate you if you actually were doing what you're doing on purpose.

2015-06-29 09:41:22

●

"Mhmm." Wow. Would you look at that, she's not clinging to him like a lost child or scared out of her mind already. She did however, keep somewhat close to him. Far enough away that they both had their own personal space.

2015-06-29 09:44:18

🌀

That's a plus. Too late for the bubbles, though. The boardwalk was bare and abandoned, so he managed not to trip over anything, and soon the light of the city was in view.

2015-06-29 09:47:35

●

Heh. How long will it take for them to notice? The sound of an engine to a car immediately caught Ivory's attention. Oh God. She knew that car just by the sound it made alone. She then sensed....two vampires? Oh shit. Well looks like she did worry Lance. The car turned and headlights came into view. Wait. She was still holding his hand. Shit! She immediately let go. Hands. In pockets. Now.

2015-06-29 09:52:11

🌀

Too bad. He didn't notice her sudden withdrawal, mostly because he was using one hand to shield his squinting eyes and the other now free one to wave.

2015-06-29 09:54:46

●

The car stopped, parked, and Lance immediately jumped out of the driver's seat and ran towards her. He immediately threw his arms around her and gave her a tight hug. "Ivory you had me really worried there for a minute." He greeted her.

2015-06-29 09:56:34

🌀

Cale got out as well and punched Zane. It had little to no effect, but the intent was clear. "What the hell?! You ditch work, don't come home, and now I find you wandering off the beach with her?! And /what is that on your face??!/" "Ditch work? N-no, I did not, I only fell asleep, we woke up there, and what?"

2015-06-29 10:00:28

●

Of course, Lance had a very vague idea of what happened.By vague I mean he knows I'm a complete jerk and Clarenz is a pansy. Ivory frowned. "It's okay. I'm okay." Wait what. His face? Did she hurt him. She looked over, confused.

2015-06-29 10:03:53

🌀

Oh, so he knows you personally. Interesting. "Is that /fucking lipstick/?" "I do not understand, lipstick?" Cale grabbed his sleeve and dragged him over to the rearview mirror, pulling him down to eye level with it. "Yes dipshit. Lipstick."

2015-06-29 10:07:28

●

Both of us. Personally. And can probably hear me speaking to you at this moment possibly because he can read Ivory's mind. ....Lipstick? Lance turned her chin back to him and made her look at him. "...Ivory. What happened your mouth?" Her hand went to her lips. No stickiness? She pulled away. So residue? Wait. What happened. Do they? Oh shit. /Oh shit./ OH SHIT!

2015-06-29 10:10:13

🌀

Hm. In that case, hello to him. "DID YOU TWO FUCKING KISS?! GOD/DAMMIT/, ZANE JACQUES HART, YOU'RE COMING HOME RIGHT THIS SECOND, YOU IDIOT!" Their apartment was within walking distance, so he began trying to pull him towards it forcefully. 'Trying' being the operative word here. Zane was just standing there, being a brick wall and staring off into space blankly with a red hue spreading over his ears and down to his face.

2015-06-29 10:15:34

●

Hiiiii Laaaannnce <3.

Go away. What did you do now?

Isn't that a bit indecisive? And /I/ didn't do anything. At least not by myself.

Ivory took one look at Zane before her hair immediately fell in her face and looked down at the ground. "I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!" She screamed out. She wasn't even sure of what she did but she was sorry. God dammit. She fucked up. She fucked up.

2015-06-29 10:19:21

🌀

Ah, naturally he wouldn't be able to hear me. Too bad, really. Cale groaned and Zane snapped back to reality, face fully beet red and a hand up by his ear as if to block out the screech. "N-no, no, do not, it is, uh..."

2015-06-29 10:25:43

●

Oh well. I can talk for you :].

Who are you talking to?

A friend.

"Oh God not this." Lance placed and arm on Ivory. "It is /okay./ Nobody is mad at you. Calm down."

"NO IT IS NOT FINE!"

"Shhhh."

2015-06-29 10:27:53

🌀

How disappointing, I thought we were more than that. "I am not m-mad, please calm down, Cale, do not, do not say anything, please..." Cale was almost definitely on the verge of yelling right back at her, but he glowered and didn't say anything. Zane couldn't say definitely that it was fine, though, because honestly, he wasn't sure if he was. They'd /kissed/? And he couldn't remember it? That wasn't even the issue, they'd /kissed???/

2015-06-29 10:34:11

●

One kiss doesn't change anything buddy.

I knew you fucking did this you bitch!

Wow you used two curse-words in one sentence. You must be pissed.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." She repeated over and over. As if that would make things better, in which it probably didn't.

"Ivory if you keep this up you're going to give yourself an anxiety attack. Just breathe."

2015-06-29 10:39:25

🌀

Woah there, Lance, aren't you the one saying not to overreact? An anxiety attack? That didn't sound good. He wasn't sure what to do, though, or if anything he did would even help, so he just wrung his hands as his mind raced.

2015-06-29 10:43:41

●

HAHAHAH I don't know what's better, Zane's,Ivory's,or Lance's reaction.

I swear to God once I get my hands on you-

But you never will.

Ivory kept focus on her breathing. Yes, not having an anxiety attack right here would be nice.

"Good." He rubbed her back. "You're okay. You're fine. I got you."

2015-06-29 10:48:32

🌀

I say Lance's. I thought you had a vested interest in getting out. Did I read that clear statement wrong? Oh, good, Lance was helping her to calm down. She'd be okay then, right? God, he felt so useless. And he'd been the cause of this, too.

2015-06-29 10:52:17

●

I do, but for now he's stuck with dealing with Ms.Manic Panic.

I don't have time for this.

Her breathing became even. Okay. She was. Okay. For now.

"See? Fine." He smiled weakly.

2015-06-29 10:54:57

🌀

Obviously he does if he's still continuing this mess of a conversation. "...oh...ah..are you...are you okay...?" He actually had tears welling up in his eyes. Woah. What?

2015-06-29 10:58:22

●

I know right?

....

Looks like we scared him off.

"I'm fine. Really. Please don't worry about me."

Please worry about her. It bothers the hell out of her.
