"How long have you been doing this again?" she asked Rigel, pulling her shorts back down again
“Let’s see… maybe… three years? No, no, it’s been four and a half since she-“ Rigel cut himself off and bit his tongue, rapidly getting another smoke in his mouth.
"You're so cute" she hummed to River, stading up and walking over to the seat beside her, "Hope that doesn't get ruined"
“Weed is certainly better than something like cigarettes. Some types even have certain health benefits,” Meun said
“I can hook you up with any drug you want, Alfonzo’s got dealers for it all,” Rigel pointed out.
“Weed is certainly better than something like cigarettes. Some types even have certain health benefits,” Meun said
"Still poison," Belle muttered under her breath. It wasn't like they would listen, they were already into it. She, on the other hand, knew what it was like to grow up with a parent who got drunk and high whenever he could. At least he was gone, now. She didn't have to see him anymore.
"How long have you been doing this again?" she asked Rigel, pulling her shorts back down again
“Let’s see… maybe… seven years? No, no, it’s been eight since she-“ Rigel cut himself off and bit his tongue, rapidly getting another smoke in his mouth.
"And you've never been caught" she hummed, "Nice" she replied, pulling a cig out of her garder and lighting it
Riverpaw looked up at Jayme with a confused expression, but decided to stop questioning things for the time being.
Meun huffed a bit. “I only self medicate with alcohol and weed because I can’t afford proper medication. You try buying prescription meds when you’re homeless.”
"Get a job, then, Meun. I'm sure Vince would hire you," Belle said, nodding in the direction of the owner, who was standing behind the counter.
"I guess I'm lucky then" she hummed. She took in the smoke and held it in for a few seconds before blowing it out in perfect circles
"And you've never been caught" she hummed, "Nice" she replied, pulling a cig out of her garder and lighting it
“Nope, although one time the po-pos found one of my stashes, but that was when I was, what? Eighteen maybe?” Rigel shrugged again, “That comtibuted to the jail time,” He continued fondly.
(Also I’m changing it from eight years to like four-ish because I just realized his backstory doesn’t add up lol)
Meun huffed a bit. “I only self medicate with alcohol and weed because I can’t afford proper medication. You try buying prescription meds when you’re homeless.”
“Ah,” Rigel continued fondly, “I knew someone with that problem.”
"I was raped to many times to count when I was eighteen." she blurted out, taking another hit
Riverpaw held Tsunami back when the pup yipped and pawed at the smoke.
"Let's… talk about something else for a bit, yeah?" Belle suggested, glancing at Riverpaw out of the corner of her eye. She wondered if it was making the girl uncomfortable.
"Yeah, what collage are you planning on going to River?" she asked, bloing out the smoke away from River
(Well, that was fun @Riverpaw. Lol. XD)
(Sorry, my WiFi just like pooped itself for a sec XD)
(XD Np.)
(Ok, I think it's better. REPLAY)
Riverpaw looked up at Belle with hopeful eyes. "C-can I…go out f-for a minute?"
"Sure, kiddo," Belle said, nodding her head. "Do you want anyone to come with you?"
“Ahh,” Rigel sighed, looking at River, “Sorry for the smoke, I’ll go talk to that greenie,” Rigel finished and left to start up conversation with the fresh meat employee.
(Belle: This child is now mine. I'm adopting her. No one can tell me otherwise.
Lol.)
(River: I have no objections to this.)
Riverpaw shook her head, putting Tsunami on the floor and standing. "I-I'll be fine. Come on, Tsuna." She said as the two of them headed to the door.
Belle watched after the girl and her dog, a bit worried about them being alone out there. It wasn't exactly the safest place to be for an adult, so for a young teenager… She just hoped she would be okay.
Riverpaw stretched her arms once she got out, then sat against the building and watched Tsunami sniff around and bark at passing vehicles. I wish Papa was still here. Or Sky. Someone to talk to would be nice..
(oof sorry for disappearing)
Meun sat back a bit, feeling a little awkward. He rested his chin on his arms again, feeling like taking a nap while he waited for his food
(Np.)
"You guys think Riv's okay?" Belle asked, turning back to the rest of the group.
"I hope so," Meun mumbled, his eyes drooping a tad
(So what’s happened?)
"Dude, you look exhausted," Belle noticed, peering at Meun. "How much sleep did you get last night?"
