You offered the cake and she took it with a thanks.

Probably not the best idea to sugar up right now but damn it did look good.

She dug the fork into the moist piece of cake as you told her your name and that you were out as non binary. Her scarred brow ticked up when you said Holly mentioned her.

"Oh yeah?" Intense blues slid toward Holly. "Do I even want to know what shit she's talking now?" she smirked.

"Happy Birthday." she'd heard it over the speaker as she walked toward the group.

"Good one so far? Figuring things out. How's that going for ya? "

He made no attempt to look surprised when you moved from the bar and started that slow, aimless-seeming walk to his table. His dark eyes remained on you, tracking your movements through the crowded bar. He didn't rush, or encourage you to pick up your step. One thing he had learned in all his time was patience. In fact, the anticipation made things all the more interesting, most of the time. "

When you arrived, he looked up. Older than you, by at least five years. But, he was still a handsome man, with a strong square jaw covered by a neat, short beard. Mostly black, but peppered with some bits of grey. Just like his hair, kept short and tidy.

But the most striking feature were his eyes. Dark. Intense. And focused solely on you.

Until they dipped down, motioning to the seat across from him. Then back to you.

"It would be rude to just stand there and not introduce yourself, wouldn't it?"

Pressure in your mind. A need to avoid being seeing as rude right in that moment.

giggles, you're memory is still 100%..

Happy dreams doll..

I'll stop by from time to time to check on your recovery..

"Happy Birthday." she'd heard it over the speaker as she walked toward the group.

"Good one so far?"

See? They told you that you were an angel. They're often right.

Blushing all over again.

"Heard from who? Me?" Actually, they might have said that.

You get a Look, because you really, truly, are teasing them something fierce tonight.

"Behave." They did you they're not much of a director, but that direction? That one they've got.

It softens at the hand squeeze, though.

Holly Blanc -

A soft smile as you move to help. "Thanks."

A quiet laugh.

"I got it, promise. Cutting the cake is a very important part of baking."

They do pause the cake cutting to wrap an arm around you - not the one with the knife - and give you a warm squeeze. "Yeah, I'm having fun. I can't believe you put al this together so fast!" It's absolutely sincere but so is the softer, "it's a little exhausting, but that's okay. It's nice."

You introduce her to V. Vander and she waves, her smile easy and soft.

Nice to meet you, V.

Light blues watch as you caution Leo to be careful with a cake knife, narrowing slightly. Does he not cook for you?

But then you're hoping it's not too exhausting and she assumes you're talking to Leo, mostly, because she feels like she's mostly along for the ride.

But then V. Vander is calling you for outing Leo and she glances between the two of you.

God, this night is weird.

Yes Goddess it is the best part for sure
If i remember right Your about today goodbye

Smiles, well now you're in love and have Kit

so its a win--win for both of you..

Anyway the best part is that you're healing..

"I'll set up a hidden camera and capture the sight of the blood draining from his face," she answered with a fanged grin, sideskew from where she was, offset spatch ready to help convey sliced cake pieces onto the table.

"You sure you don't wanna take a slice home, Bossman? Alright, take it easy!"

~

nodding my head, my decision made. i turn to the bartender and lift the cup to him to let him know i
wanted another.

he smiled and pointed at the one he was already making.

we exchange cups and laugh about what a coincidence it was, and i turn back. seeing my friends continuing to
have a good time, i find myself walking across the bar in a different direction. occasionally bumping into
other people as i sip my new drink. not sure where i am
headed or why, just...just exploring this place.

and i get to a table with an empty chair. and i stand there a moment and find myself looking at you. the cup
again raised to my lips and another sip drawn from it.

Leo. Ok you pointed them out and she was taking notes of who's who until you started in again with tmi.

"Holls, hold up. Not your place to out someone. If they want to tell me let THEM. "

You wouldn't get it if you had never had to be closeted or were uneasy about who you were or might be. Hell, she's always known who she is and never hid it but she'd be pissed if someone else outted her.

She saw Dylan Bode and unfolded her arms to give the man a hand shake. No words spoken, just a firm shake. She knew he just lost gigi and didn't want to bring it up, she gave a subtle nod to him.

"Good to see you." she meant it. It was good to see you out . "Have a good night."

Once you'd gone she'd turned back to Holly Blanc who was leading her toward the two people she'd been telling her about.
She slid her hands into the pockets of her shorts, thumbs hooked on the outside of the pockets as she nodded to Leo Sterling and Talia Amin.

"Hey."

Instead of a handshake, they are offering you a piece of cake. Since they're cutting it.

"Nice to meet you, V, I'm Leo. Kind of newly figuring out stuff, and Holly'd mentioned you to me." None of that sounds as confident as he'd like. Ah well.

"Kind of recently figured out I'm Non-Binary." A shy shrug

i would You of been. Goddess You help me on this journey i will never forget that
