TOP TO BOTTOM
Rori: *slips in and looks around*
Rori: *super tall wow*
Lexi: *is sitting at one of the tables* *smiles when she sees Rori and waves* Hey. *has a beer, but barely drank any*
Rori: *moves over and sits down with Lexi* Hi... I was looking for--- *blushes a bit* Sorry I shanghai'd your brohter..
Rori: .. if it's any consolation.. I got you something nice?
Lexi: *smiles* It's alright, he needed it. Looking for him? He's supposed to meet me here when he's done working.
Lexi: *laughs* What'd you get me?
Rori: *moves into her bag and pulls out a snow globe, a nice looking one but it's small with a dancer* I just thought it was pretty... couldn't find anyone playing cards..
Lexi: It's beautiful...*reaches out to take it* Thank you, you shouldn't have. *smiles brightly*
Rori: Well.. I thought it would cheer you up a bit... there's a story behind it the man at the store told me *not worth anything without a story*
Lexi: *smiles as she studies it* I really like it....what's the story?
Rori: well the man said that the figurine used to be a real girl once upon a time, and a man fell in love with her-- but she passed away so he went to a sorcerer on a hill.. traded his soul to bring her
Rori: back but he wasnt' specific...
Rori: he could bring her back but he couldn't have her or there would be dire consequences... but the man was to happy that his love lived...
Rori: so he went home-- ignored the sorcerers warning-- embraced his true love-- they danced-- but the sorcerer would have his way-- that night... she became the snow globe and he is right ehre
Rori: *she pointed to the man on the side in intricate detail* Seperated by ice and snow...for he has no soul to dance with her in the light
Lexi: *laughs* That's certainly an interesting story...*she wouldn't mind telling people about it when they asked*
Lexi: And a sad one.
Rori: *smiles at her* I liked it... Reid says I spend about as much time listening to people tell stories as I do passing them on
Lexi: *chuckles* I'm sure he didn't mind..he tends to tease a lot. I bet you knew that though.
Rori: *nods and chews her lip* Yeah.. I do.. sometimes he just needs to have fun.. play in the fountain or scream at the countryside from the train..
Lexi: I'd love to see him do that. *she knew he had needed to get away after everything, she was thankful to Rori for helping him*
Rori: *grins* he did good.. just took a few nudges.... *and a kiss or two*
Lexi: *smiles* He seems happier... *and she was happy for him* *they both deserved a little happiness after everything they'd been through*
Rori: *runs her hand in her hair and props it on the table* does he? I mean.. I don't even know how it started It hink I just started dragging him with me around the city..
Lexi: *nods her head a bit* He does... *she could tell as soon as she'd seen him* *laughs* I'm sure he enjoyed that.
Rori: I do it all the time if I can manage... *goes quiet* he's really important to me... it's funny I meet people all the time but..
Lexi: *smiles at her words, happy to hear them since she can tell rori means a lot to reid* But he's just not anybody. *nods her head*
Rori: No.. he's Reid.. *shrugs her shoulder* I didn't even know he was so close to Emma until I ran into her.. we grew up together..
Lexi: Yeah, they got pretty close when we moved here. *laughs* What was that like?
Rori: Growing up with Emma? *thinks about it* trying to keep Emma out of trouble is a full time job..
Lexi: *nods* That i can imagine.
Rori: I'm a little bit older so i was always trailing after her-- she made Ace carry her around when he got to the city and she claimed him-- my brother he ran the Bronx before Ace did..
Lexi: I can see that...*chuckles* He did? *didn't know that*
Rori: *nods* Connor.. when he turned 19 he lit out of here... left things to Ace he's a good... *thinks* seven or so years older than I am..
Lexi: Did you visit him? *couldn't imagine not having her brother around for awhile* *If she hadn't been so out of it while he was gone she probably would've strangled him when he got back*
Rori: He's in Colorado on a Ranch-- we stopped in and saw both of my brothers.. *they were gone over a month and a few days* Connor wanted me to give some messages.. says he is happy though
Lexi: *nods* That must have been nice. *smiles* It's good that they're happy.
Rori: I got my wanderlust from them--- Connor hated staying in one place being leader always irked him because he could just up and go
Lexi: Yeah I can see that bothering him, then. *smiles*
Rori: ... I miss them but they are happy.. you know?
Lexi: That's always nice.
Rori: Are you?
Lexi: *raises an eyebrow* Am I what?
Rori: Are you happy?
Lexi: *nods* As happy as I can be... *lifts her beer to her lips and takes a large swallow*
Rori: My brothers used to say we had to make our own happiness
Lexi: I agree with them, we do. *and she was working on that*
Pallet: *walks through the door and takes a look around, looking for a familiar face* *Spying two of her bunkmates sharing a table, she makes her way over.* Hey Lexi. Rori. *Smiles*
Rori: *reaches over and hugs Pallet* Hey Pally... you're looking good.
Lexi: *smiles widely at Pallet* Hey.. *lifts her beer again to take another sip*
Pallet: *Hugs Rori back* Thanks. You too. *Gestures to a barmaid to bring her an Irish Ale* You mind if I join you two for a bit? *Motions to the two empty seats beside her friends.*
Rori: Go ahead, we're just talking...
Lexi: *nods her head in agreement*
Pallet: Thanks. *pulls out the closest chair and sits down as the barmaid hands her the ale* Don't let me stop you.*smiles before taking a sip from the large glass in front of her*
Rori: Just talking about happiness-- and being happy.
Rori: that's all.. Oh Lexi! Emma told me some new girl is in the lodging house..
Lexi: *smiles* Saw Shamrock the other day..kid's getting big.
Lexi: *turns to Rori* *nods* Yeah, her and Emma got into it. She isn't bad...might get on a few people's nerves but she her hearts in the right place. Just has to learn not to tell her life story after
Rori: Sham? I miss things when I go on my jaunts..
Lexi: just meeting someone. *says with a smile* *she was really giving Jewel the benefit of the doubt*
Rori: .... oh dear.. to everyone?
Pallet: Oh, I know. Kid's shooting up like a weed. Complaining more and more how I gotta stop babying him. *Chuckles to herself* I can't help it.
Pallet: *turns to Lexi* I heard 'bout that. Haven't met her yet but i hear she got on Emma's bad side.
Rori: Oh lord that isn't a place you want to be... she can make someone miserable if she has the inclination
Lexi: *nods slightly* He might have mentioned that to me. *about shamrock, gives pallet a knowing smile remembering what it was like with reid*
Lexi: Yeah, they got into an argument and Emma headed to the boys house. *smiles* I know she means well so I hope Emma's the only one she gets on the bad side of.
Rori: Emma must have shoved Reid out of bed.. *shakes her head and chuckles* Oh lord... she's going to be upset when she hears we're seeing each other..
Pallet: *Pallet head jerks upfrom staring at her drink and looks at Rori* I didn't hear that. That's great!
Rori: *nervous laugh* hah.. hah.. yeah we.. went on a trip.. and..
Pallet: *Chuckles* Say no more.
Pallet: Speaking of boys, has anyone ever met a boy from Queens called Styx? *She averted her eyes from her friends and took a quick sip of her drink*
Lexi: *smirks* Oh she did...*laughs* *reid may have mentioned it* She doesn't know? *smiles* He hasn't stopped talking about your trip.
Lexi: Everytime I see him it's a new story.
Lexi: *shakes her head* Can't say I have. *she didn't travel around queens much* *she was mostly in the bronx*
Rori: Mmm I've heard some stories about him..
Pallet: *Shrugs shoulders**She had been out of the loop for a while; her paintings having been consuming her time*
Rori: he gets around-- a lover not a fighter.. though looks like the brooklyn boys are filtering back into town too
Pallet: *looks up at her friend* Good stories?*she was trying to collect any information she could about the boy she had instantly clicked with at the riverbank*
Lexi: He gets around? *smirks*
Rori: *small smile and takes a drink from her drink* I'm a story teller not a gossiper.. you want that it won't be me
Pallet: *gives Rori a nervous half-smile* You heard any bad stories 'bout him? Like... Any reason why someone should.... stay away from him?
Lexi: *laughs* It was just the way you worded it, I'm not asking for the details on his life. *raises the beer again* Is he handsome? *directs her question at Pallet*
Lexi: *it had been too long since she had girl talk*
Rori: *leans on her arms, when was the last time any of them had girl talk without a fight or a headache coming after?*
Pallet: *Blushes* Yeah... and an Ireland native as well...
Rori: oh irish!
Pallet: *It was nice to be able to have girl talk with girls her own maturity level*
Pallet: *chuckles* Irish-dutch. but still irish all the same.
Rori: My families been here since the revolution... *nods*
Lexi: *laughs* Does he have a cute accent? *one thing lexi loved about dodger was his accent* *she would never admit that to him of course* *give him a bigger head then he had already*
Lexi: My family was born here, I'm not sure about their parents. *shrugs*
Rori: *chuckles at Lexi, mimics the cockney burr of dodger* oh you know how it goes love..
Pallet: *Laughs at Rori's imitation of dodger*Sounds just like him.*turns to lexi* Yeah, bit of a dutch, irish mix. He was sweet.
Lexi: *snickers* That sounds much better coming from Dodger's mouth, you know.
Lexi: *smiles at Pallet* That's always a good thing. Finding a boy like that in this city is hard to do.
Pallet: *Nods* It's definitely much easier now that I've separated myself from spending so much time with Byron and Shamrock.
Rori: Byron needs to branch out-- and not spend so much time with his poetry
Pallet: *Smiles* Yeah... he's been coming out of his bubble more everyday. Going from being an only child, to knowing only Sham and I, then to all this... It was hard at first for him to open up, i guess.
Pallet: But he's a good guy...
Lexi: *smiles* He's always seemed like a true gentleman. *which was more then she'd say about a lot of the guys in the bronx lodging house* *...they could certainly be pigs when they wanted to*
Pallet: *nods in agreement* They're lucky we tolerate more then maybe the Brooks girls would.
Pallet: *chuckled at the thought that hit her* Or, there'd probably be more guys pushed in lakes or ponds, then walking the streets.
Rori: I like the boys and well they suffer Emma the way they do with a smile..
Pallet: Oh, I do too. *smiles* We're lucky to have them and not some other boys that I've heard of. But, they have their moments...
Lexi: *snorts* A smile? *maybe it was just her who heard Dodger's rants* She isn't so bad. I think they like having her around so much.
Lexi: As long as I don't have to clean up after them, I'm like them all just fine. *and dodger more then fine*
Rori: *smiles at Lexi* How is our british leader?
Pallet: It keeps her outta serious trouble. *takes another swig of her ale*
Pallet: Yeah. *turns attention back to Lexi* Haven't really seen him around much...
Lexi: *smiles* He's good... *honestly hasn't seen him either, but river told her he was good* Busy...*nods*
Rori: Sounds like you know about as much as we do... I'd say this calls for a female intervention Lexi
Lexi: And what is this intervention about? *raises eyebrow*
Rori: Going and seeing your, beau.... I'm waiting for mine...
Lexi: *shrugs and smiles* He'll come around when he has time.
Rori: I don't know if i could just sit and wait...
Pallet: *chuckles and shakes head* Glad I don't have to deal with that yet...
Lexi: I've got other things on my mind. *smiles* I know he'll come see me when he isn't busy.
Pallet: *downs the last of her drink* Well, girls. Loved the talk but I've gotta be going. Got alot to do before lights out. See ya back at the Lodging house?*Stands up and pushes in chair*
Lexi: *gives Pallet a nod and a smile* See you around.
Rori: *waves to Pallet* by Pally... *looks to Lexi* It's good though..
Lexi: What's good? *smiles* *finishes her beer*
Rori: That you and Dodger are like that--
Lexi: *nods* I suppose it is...*smiles* I'd rather just see him when we have free time and can do something fun.
Rori: I remember when he was in manhattan he was always flirting..
Lexi: *smirks* I'm sure he still is. *doesn't mind him flirting...they're both flirts without realizing it half the time*
Lexi: *yawns* Guess Reid forgot...I think I'm gonna head back to the lodging house too. You staying?
Rori: I'll have to go find him.. *gets up and nods* I'll come with you...
Lexi: *smiles* Alright. *pulls her jacket on and stands, ready to leave* If you find him, tell him he owes me a drink *smirks*
