[i]"Nice, how'd the old guy react?" Nat asked, taking a sip from her drink as she listened intently. [/i]

"Called it cheating and threatened putting six rounds in my chest." She shrugged, heart still pounding a little.
-
[i]"Oh yeah. He's a HARDCORE religious dude, thinks making eyes to get free drinks is the same as selling your body." [/i]

Edited by Stitch: 11/1/2017 2:55:53 AM"Well then. Remind me not to hangout with him. I'm just glad you're not somehow mad at me." Star leaned on Nat a little in affection.
-
[i]"I trust you aren't a cheating type. Dad, he's probably skeptical because I'm his kid and all." [/i]
-
She gave a peck on the cheek. "I'd never cheat on a woman like you."
-
[i]"Likewise," Nat said, leaning her head on Star's. [/i]
-
"Want to go on a more normal date tonight? The drunk fun with that group was nice, but I like a somewhat normal relationship too."
-
[i]"I agree completely. Maybe every once in a while that whole poker thing can happen, but some normalcy is good. And hell yeah I'm down for a date, any ideas?" [/i]
-
"Hmm. Movie? Walk in a park at night?"
-
[i]"Both of those sounds lovely, but that walk would be great." [/i]
-
"Walk it is, sugar." Star gave another peck on the cheek before standing up.

[i]Natalie joined the standing woman and threw her boots on, taking an extra moment to lace it up. After throwing on a light jacket and grabbing her purse, Nat was out the door with her. [/i]

Star tried to hold Nat's hand as they walked towards the fields outside the Dojo. "Did I ever tell you my real first name is Sophia?"
-
[i]"Really?" Nat inquired. She had no idea that Star wasn't using her true name, although she really should have suspected it. [/i]
-
"Yeah, but I prefer Star ever since I began using it as my nickname. Sophia is a bit too...boring for me."
-
[i]"Star sounds more spontaneous anyways. It's fitting." [/i]
-
"Thanks, Naty. Do you mind being called Naty?"
-
[i]"Not really, no. It's kinda cute." [/i]
-
They'd reach the open fields, oddly covered in flowers which heavily contrasted the warzone that is the Dojo. "I heared a little girl planted all these flowers. Rather nice, isn't it? Some positivity to try and offset all the destruction?"
-
[i]"Yeah... We need more kids like that in the world, ones who don't like to just go day by day in the shit that Dojoville throws." [/i]
-
"Too many edgelords if you ask me." Star chuckled. "Always liked the innocence and optimism of children."
-
[i]"I agree. I remember me and my sister would spend all day drawing when we were little." [/i]
-
"You have a sister? I have a younger sister. She's still doing professional sports."
-
[i]"Oh, does she play the same ones you do?" Nat asked. Either she was dodging the question asked to her or just forgot to respond. [/i]
-
"She plays what I [u]used[/u] to play. I kinda retired despite my young age..." Star got a little gloom for a second before cheering up. "She constantly looked up to me and compared herself."
