<p>Ce always thought that her volakiri experience wasn't one for the stories or the history, because if possible, she was more than eager to erase every bit of it because it didn't serve her a good memory. But, considering how far she goes, some valkyr really needed guidance, more on the volakiri bond if anything so she didn't want to disappoint them but stayed put and kept her mouth shut when she can help them with the process.

<p>Ce always thought that her volakiri experience wasn't one for the stories or the history, because if possible, she was more than eager to erase every bit of it because it didn't serve her a good memory. But, considering how far she goes, some valkyr really needed guidance, more on the volakiri bond if anything so she didn't want to disappoint them but stayed put and kept her mouth shut when she can help them with the process. "It really was... I didn't know what to do and the closest thing I had to guidance was... not where I thought they'd be. So there's also that..." she murmured, if she could turn back time, she would. God knows she would have done a lot of different things.</p>
<p>"But there's no function of saying you want to change the past... it sounds very ambitious." Especially to say such things in<a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/521d7cdce36663556e67f1cf5037f276/88ad76477a05e889-9e/s540x810/118c6ea951bcad11afd3371c85e2ca57ada4e9e4.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/521d7cdce36663556e67f1cf5037f276/88ad76477a05e889-9e/s540x810/118c6ea951bcad11afd3371c85e2ca57ada4e9e4.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right"/></a> front of a celestial who was powerful enough to turn the tide of time is... scandalous and controversial to say the least. When Phe asked if she has met plenty of her kind throughout her lifetime, Ce smiled and shrugged "Yeah, you people don't make it easy to find though, I'll say that. You like to live in solitude to keep yourself safe, which is of course understandable. Why would you risk yourself out there right?" It wasn't as if humans had given them reasons to come and be the hero either.</p>
<p>If there was one thing Ce knew had deteriorated over time, it was humanity. "But I'll tell you... you're by far the most interesting celestial I have ever met" she purred coyly. The valkyr couldn't hold in her laughter when the wayfinder actually used a jellyfish analogy "Oh god you really are cute" to use that as an analogy was cute. "Dying was painful. I died from a plague after all... healing people only to end up dying for the exact same plague is so ironic... to be resurrected afterward, poetic honestly." But Ce has always wanted to help people. It was the very reason why the female still continued her service as a doctor.</p>
<p>The seductress dropped her eyes on the celestial's lips and licked her own as she tried to tell herself no, not that it was working. What Cecilia wants, she gets. "You could huh? How interesting..." she purred and dropped one finger to trail against Phe's neck gently. "Tell me... if you knew someone is attracted to you, and they're right in front of you, what would you do..."</p> Ophelia wasn’t the first of h…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2023-02-10:6610746:Comment:4343702023-02-10T19:11:16.540Z✓ Ophelia Dreyvalian ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/IcePrincess
<p>Ophelia wasn’t the first of her kind and she knew she wouldn’t the last either, the wayfinder line was long and historic but it was sad that they never got to meet one another, only when one wayfinder passed would the next fall, she had to do all of this herself…decide what legacy she would leave and then entrust it to the next in line “That must have been…scary…experiencing everything so powerful but having no real idea how things would turn out or what would happen…” she pressed her lips…</p>

<p>“I define living as being able to make your own choices…and doing the things one wants to do” whether a heartbeat or breath went through your lungs very much depended on your species “Jellyfish are alive when they swim through the ocean but they don’t even have a brain so…” by that logic who was anyone to decide who was and wasn’t alive, right? “Still…dying must be a painful experience to wake from…” she wondered if those that didn’t make it…lacked the will to awaken once more.</p>
<p>Phe bit hard on her lip before glancing over to Ce one more “I could be convinced to be more…open-minded, with someone I trust” she whispered the words softly as she met the eyes of the dark-haired female who suddenly came close “Though I really don’t…even know where to begin” she whispered softly as she dropped her gaze to her lips and then back up to her eyes.</p> "A hunch huh?" she chuckled,…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2023-02-06:6610746:Comment:4341992023-02-06T05:48:04.601Z✓ Cecilia Laterza ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Genevieve
<p>"A hunch huh?" she chuckled, that was an interesting way to put it, for sure. "We can't all just rely on something... or <strong>someone</strong>, eventually it's going to come back at us and we'll be left wondering if that was the right call. Being a leader, they're not easy, sure. But sometimes we have to make do with what we are given, right?"

Being a leader, they're not easy, sure. But sometimes we have to make do with what we are given, right?" Cecilia has been roaming the earth for a long while, honestly she was a bit surprised things haven't grown tedious to her. It's the same cycle every given chance anyway. She has been to every corner of the earth and yet here she is today, still in Evermore, choosing to look after them.</p>
<p>The story about volakiris never ceased to amaze her, considering how she was also the first valkyr to be turned and then the first to<a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/6daa27357d0339bad29bc4606411189c/tumblr_inline_r2gwr5fdY11vmjwx6_500.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/6daa27357d0339bad29bc4606411189c/tumblr_inline_r2gwr5fdY11vmjwx6_500.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right"/></a> also enact this bond between their two species. "You know I do find it funny how I seem to be the first and in the center of everything that is happening. I wasn't the first valkyr in existence but I was the first experiment, the first one who was... turned. As if that wasn't already telling enough, fate also willed it that I should also be the first to try out this... volakiri bond. Which was actually a suicide because celestial blood is already tempting, much less when you have a bond like ours." Thankfully, she has never really lost control around her volakiri.</p>
<p>"I think the fact that we cancel each other out makes us the best pairing. Like yin and yang, you know?" It's interesting and extremely predictable given Mother Earth's decision and the cosmic happenings. When she talked about second chances and the balance between life and death, Ce pursed her lips and shrugged "It's a novelty to me. We all want a second chance, even I do. But being alive, that's going to be a bit specific where you're from because what is the definition of alive anyway. I'm talking to you here as a living being but in all honesty, I'm undead, am I not? Considering how I was a literal corpse when I was turned anyway. Turning one into a valkyr is not always easy, not everyone survives the process, whether pre or post... sometimes they survive until it slowly turns them into a monster they didn't recognize, so I guess that's also a fail." Cecilia has battled with blood lust before, and there was not a day where she wanted to relapse.</p>
<p>She had a mischievous grin and look when the dancer danced in front of the celestial, the valkyr was naturally flirtatious and playful so to see this is just nice. What Phe said afterward made her raise her eyebrow in surprise "Oh? You think it'll be satisfied... with a friend?

<p>She allowed an easygoing smile to cross her lips in response to Ce’s question and she shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly “Call it a hunch or an observation even” she commented and grinned softly, there was a charismatic nature to Ce which was hard to explain, people might worry about what she might do but there was also this respect she commanded that was hard to even question. “Sometimes I feel like I should have had at least a guide or a manual or something” she joked and shook her head…</p>

<p><a href="https://c.tenor.com/uPPbtT3mrKoAAAAd/adelaide-kane-mary-stuart.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://c.tenor.com/uPPbtT3mrKoAAAAd/adelaide-kane-mary-stuart.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-left" width="232" height="349"/></a>“I try” she responded and smiled softly, just because the faction came first didn’t mean she entirely forgot about herself in the process but it was always a case of priorities, she would never do something detrimental to her tribe, even if it meant she had to give up her own happiness in the process. “Perhaps it’s funny but...I guess it goes back to the age-old balance of dark and light, my kind are pure light while your kind are allies with shadows and come from death, together we kinda cancel one another out” didn’t explain why that made them stronger but it made sense to her why it was valkyr.</p>
<p>“I think you know whether people would rather be alive than dead” she commented in a soft voice “People who lost their lives in accidents far before their time, those people deserve a second chance at life” she was sure even there would be some people who don’t like the alternative but honestly she believed the was a certain honor in being able to save people like that, even if it was a grey line. “If I was young and had my whole life ready to unfold and then I was gone...yes...if I was an old woman who had lived her life happily, no” she answered candidly, it really depended on the person and the circumstances.</p>
<p>She bit her lip harshly as the dancer moved, her eyes moving between her and Ce from time to time, she had never had anyone dance for her lip this before, male or female, she wasn’t sure how exactly she felt about it. When Ce asked if she wanted to quench her curiosity her gaze moved to the floor for a moment “What if I said that curiosity wouldn’t be satisfied with a stranger?” don’t get her wrong, these girls were very good at what they did but Phe wasn’t the type to hand over trust easily.</p> With Phe, she respected her o…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-09-28:6610746:Comment:4293072021-09-28T14:36:18.022Z✓ Cecilia Laterza ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Genevieve
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With Phe, she respected her own experiences for not giving up when she could've very well done that, especially after going through all of that. She raised her eyebrows playfully when the celestial pointed out there was more to it "Oh? You sound confident, Fifi, why is that hm?" She teased, nudging her side while blinking curiously, it felt like the other female always had another world in her head that made the valkyr want to explore. What was she thinking?…</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With Phe, she respected her own experiences for not giving up when she could've very well done that, especially after going through all of that.

She teased, nudging her side while blinking curiously, it felt like the other female always had another world in her head that made the valkyr want to explore. What was she thinking? It feels like even if she could figure out the general overview, there's that tiny detail she couldn't grasp. "Hey you can make your own" she chuckled "appointments are one way to describe it, no matter how unruly it actually is." When she told her she didn't like the idea of people having to follow her because they felt the pull to.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ce nodded in understanding, she knew how that feels<a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/a83d9163fe7dd6d9428b602fa2b376d5/tumblr_mzf1h4MYqB1rnv522o1_250.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/a83d9163fe7dd6d9428b602fa2b376d5/tumblr_mzf1h4MYqB1rnv522o1_250.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="240" class="align-right"/></a> like, they often have leaders of some species that are just born with the gene, which sometimes didn't give the individual or the others in that group much of a choice aside from having to lead and follow. "It must be hard to handle all that pressure too, a Wayfinder only exists at a time, after all." There is no second one if one already exists, it seems. Even one is already a big occurrence, much less another. "You have to remember to take care of yourself too, while caring for them, I know how it's like… wanting the best for your faction. To protect them…" Which is ironic considering they form partnerships to protect one another because the celestials are often the prey to the hunters while the valkyr are the predators. "I still find it funny how it's the valkyr and not dhampirs chosen to be your volakiri." </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dhampirs have always been known to be protectors whereas they are more secluded to that part, just keeping to themselves and protecting from where they are. She grinned and nodded when she was asked if she learned anything valuable from that, in all honesty, she did. "The thing is you can only turn someone after they're medically deceased… so consent is… somewhat on the grey line, you know? I have no idea if those people who were turned by the others consented or not, there are times when they didn't know what was happening at all." Some people really resented it and that's where Ce realized she had no power to convince them it's their life now. So long as they don't cause them trouble, then it's up to them to live how they see fit. "In a case where you died… would you have wanted to to turn into a valkyr? If you were a regular person, I mean. That's the feeling." You can't really grasp just how much they feel towards it unless they show it. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The brunette couldn't help but chuckle when Phe said the dancer was really beautiful "I expected to hear you say that" She beckoned for the second dancer to come sit on her lap and she did. "It's my friend's first time here, so I'd like for her to get a good experience" as if knowing what she meant, the dancer standing before Phe earlier started to move her body sensually, the soft melody of the music guiding her to dance. "You know if you wish to quench your curiosity, tonight's the best time to do so."</span></p> Ce was right, Ophelia knew wh…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-08-15:6610746:Comment:4285952021-08-15T11:56:58.403Z✓ Ophelia Dreyvalian ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/IcePrincess
<p>Ce was right, Ophelia knew when to be cautious in her life because of the experiences she had been through but being afraid constantly wasn’t healthy or maintainable, eventually you had to gain enough strength to stand up for yourself and your people, regardless of what you were against “Still, there is nothing worse in the world than being constantly afraid” she commented in a soft voice, she wanted to be strong and bold for her people and she wanted to teach them to protect themselves so…</p>

She laughed almost a little in surprise at Ce’s rather violent response “I think there’s more to it than that” she commented and shook her head playfully.</p>
<p>She raised her brows and chuckled slightly “An appointment sounds far more organized than most are” she teased thinking about how she had so many celestials drop in at the last minute because they wanted to chat or because they needed practice on handling their energy “I hate the idea of being a chosen one though...I don’t want people to feel like they have to follow me just because the silent rules of the world say they have to” she sighed and shook her head slightly. She looked up to her and pressed her lips together, she had to accept her responsibility to be a leader through because letting them down wasn’t an option “Which is why I’ll do everything I can for them, no questions asked” she nodded slightly.</p>

And the valkyr species was now spread far and wide, which meant more people were turned down the line. “I’ll bet...not to mention I can’t imagine that everyone...wants to be turned” after all, it was a different life, one that some people wouldn’t want for themselves.</p>
<p>It was probably a little insane to go through with this and be here, staring back at the girls in the room and wondering what exactly was going to happen from here. There was a commanding nature to Ce’s voice which almost made her cringe at the very sound of it. She did as she was told, watching as the girl pranced around her, coming close to her lap and giving her a good view of her body, Phe bit her lip harshly. The conservative part of her was uncomfortable but the curious part definitely felt something as she watched “She’s very beautiful” she commented in a soft voice. It did make her wonder those things she did before, what would a woman’s lips feel like to kiss? Her eyes kept moving back over to Ce and back to the dancer again.</p> She bit her lip and shrugged…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-08-13:6610746:Comment:4285902021-08-13T15:53:30.296Z✓ Cecilia Laterza ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Genevieve
<p>She bit her lip and shrugged absentmindedly, “Your thoughts hold the key to grounding yourself. If you give it too much power, it will overpower you entirely.” That’s why she tends to not care about a lot of things, not if they don’t necessarily have anything to affect her life. “But being afraid… or cautious, that’s good. If you have fear, then it means you’re aware of your surroundings and I don’t think you need me to tell you how dangerous the world is, right?” Ophelia, of all people,…</p>

If you have fear, then it means you’re aware of your surroundings and I don’t think you need me to tell you how dangerous the world is, right?” Ophelia, of all people, should understand that. “They know to listen and respect me because if they don’t, I’ll hang them upside down from their limbs” she scoffed and shook her head, to Celia, that’s all others ever seem to do. </p>
<p>“If I could make things happen using my mouth alone, that’ll be so convenient” it’s the very reason why she hates dirtying her own<a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/bb222d5e403f6bd7ffd848502275d1d7/tumblr_inline_nu3pifAB6i1sccn28_500.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/bb222d5e403f6bd7ffd848502275d1d7/tumblr_inline_nu3pifAB6i1sccn28_500.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right"/></a> hands. “You’re right… maybe they required a little bit of softness, I’m not all that scary… they just wouldn’t give themselves a chance to meet me. Admittedly, my schedule is always packed but it’s not hard to schedule an appointment…” Ce narrowed her eyes and hummed softly when she heard Phe debating whether there would be a much better person to take upon the job, “People want the glory and the benefits that come with the job but not many are able to carry them, that’s what makes you a good leader. A chosen one will, of course, have that burden weighing on them but even so, you tried to get back to your people even after you were knocked down.” That alone warranted respect. “Maybe there’s someone better but the reality is that the universe chose you.” There was no point in dwelling.</p>
<p>She could recall her first few years, hell even the first few decades had been rough for Ce, “It wasn’t easy, that’s for sure. For a while, I was the only one aside from him, so that kind of gave him room to experiment? To see what’s the best possible way to care for a newborn. He did a shitty job at it but… eventually, it worked out.” The Italian struggled with her diet at first but it was like what she said, better than the alternative. “Mhmm, if he didn’t turn me then I’d stay dead. Buried with a pile of countless others who died from the plague.” A part of her was glad she died in the line of duty but the other felt miserable because she was barely 25, and she only just assumed the role of head healer. “I’ve met a few who turned others out of spite… I wasn’t amused. But even if you turned someone because you believe they would be better off alive, an asset to the society, it’s not easy to just… decide. You have to weigh in other options and I firmly believe that sometimes we can’t save everyone.”</p>
<p>Celia actually thought Phe would decline and back down but surprisingly, she accepted and they were led into a private room, where the valkyr was already lounging with the second dancer sitting close by. “Don’t turn your head away and make sure to keep your eyes on her… all the time, Fifi” she teased, apparently the two dancers were best friends. “Do you like what you see?” she was purposely poking into the celestial for fun, and judging from the flushed cheeks, Phe was also thinking.</p> She could respect Ce was want…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-08-01:6610746:Comment:4288342021-08-01T18:36:38.608Z✓ Ophelia Dreyvalian ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/IcePrincess
<p>She could respect Ce was wanting to make the most of her life and not live with regrets “You’re braver than most...even though I have forever to live I still feel cautious when it comes to making decisions” it was a curse she supposed but a lot of things had lead her to be like that, namely living life scared that her people may be captured or harmed.

Hearing Ce talk about herself as a leader she bit her lip slightly “You have a commanding presence, I think people know they should listen to you...respect you” he spoke softly, she knew that Ce knew how to handle herself and she had more experience than anyone at being a valkyr, who better than to be their spokesperson? “But maybe they’re a little intimidated too...being a leader requires a little soft touch sometimes too” she murmured softly.</p>

<p>She nodded slightly, turning people was was complicated she was sure, in a way by doing so you were taking someone’s life into your hands, you couldn’t be certain if the person you were turning wanted you to and if they were a stranger then there were other things to consider “All you can do is your best with the knowledge you have” she commented in a soft voice as she nodded her head slightly “Not to mention people could turn others out of spite...or selfishness” it was complicated for sure. Phe bit harshly on her lip when Ce asked the dancer if she could have a private dance but being stubborn as she was, she nodded slightly to agree she would take it. She had to admit she was a little nervous but she wasn’t the type to back down.</p>
<p>When they entered the room she gave Ce a look before seating herself on one of the comfy looking chairs and eyed the dancer as she started to sway in front of her. She bit her lip softly as she watched her with careful eyes but she didn’t make a face.</p> She flipped her hair playfull…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-07-31:6610746:Comment:4285292021-07-31T09:43:25.803Z✓ Cecilia Laterza ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Genevieve
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She flipped her hair playfully and shrugged, "I don't have a lot of things that I think I should be ashamed of, I've lived a long life, Phe, if I don't enjoy things, I may as well rot" it's hard to find faults in yourself these days because you didn't really want to be reminded of them. If she let what people think of her get the best of her, then she'll never stop changing, it'll be too tedious. "I don't see myself as a natural born leader in that sense, you…</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She flipped her hair playfully and shrugged, "I don't have a lot of things that I think I should be ashamed of, I've lived a long life, Phe, if I don't enjoy things, I may as well rot" it's hard to find faults in yourself these days because you didn't really want to be reminded of them. If she let what people think of her get the best of her, then she'll never stop changing, it'll be too tedious. "I don't see myself as a natural born leader in that sense, you know? Not really an official title where I have to manage everyone… all this time I've always been the leader of a convoy or something, that type. Now, I have to deal with two types of people… one who thinks of me as their leader, and the other who's still afraid to come up to me to say anything because all the rumors they've heard about Cecilia Laterza are only those of which I pluck people off. Sometimes people make me seem like I'm a butcher… albeit a fashionable and classy one but yes." </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It didn't bother her, she would rather have people fear or<a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/7f63406b98b6d14ddb439b1bea64c3b7/tumblr_inline_oyiz6lnEqH1ro4fjb_500.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/7f63406b98b6d14ddb439b1bea64c3b7/tumblr_inline_oyiz6lnEqH1ro4fjb_500.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right"/></a> respect her. "You are born in the role and you're doing a good job at it, though I imagine it can be very pressuring at times, huh? Anyone can probably take my mantle up if they're strong enough and have experience, but you celestials, you only have one Wayfinder." It wasn't exactly a fair department to compare themselves at. Ce shook her head when Phe came to that conclusion, "Oh no, not me. Others, plenty but that didn't happen to me. I was turned by the first, you know him. And ironically when I say the first, I was also the first valkyr that was turned, since he's more to the part of being created. He looked after me but didn't impose because I was barely 25, and I didn't have a day of rest ever since I became a healer. I had to slow down and digest my situation on my own…" Her circumstances were slightly better compared to others. She wasn't abandoned. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"Turning someone… is already a hard thing to do, to turn someone into a valkyr is no easy feat. Not every attempt is successful, so at least you know the people who are turned, albeit recklessly, they were turned with an intention. Rogues can't turn people easily, it takes more than just blood thirst and rage. Which is why it's harder to track those people who turn people at will, knowing exactly the chaos it'll bring if they are left unsupervised." There's a reason why she has only turned one person in her history. Her smirk grew wider when Phe took up the challenge and watched as one of them came over, the Italian was not holding back on her gaze either. "My friend here would like a dance, are you busy?" Another dancer, seemingly her twin, came by and whispered something to her and Ce couldn't help but chuckle, "They said there's a private room if you'd like a special dance." And obviously Ce was daring Phe to go along with that too.</span></p> The wayfinder laughed in a so…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-07-21:6610746:Comment:4282012021-07-21T21:32:00.721Z✓ Ophelia Dreyvalian ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/IcePrincess
<p>The wayfinder laughed in a soft manner when Ce pointed out that she would essentially rather be honest than sensitive to what others thought thought about her “Talk about being wholly unapologetic” she commented in a soft voice shaking her head in amusement, sometimes she wished she could be so free when it came to how she held herself and how she acted because she had always given other people’s opinions far too much room in her head.

<p>The wayfinder laughed in a soft manner when Ce pointed out that she would essentially rather be honest than sensitive to what others thought thought about her “Talk about being wholly unapologetic” she commented in a soft voice shaking her head in amusement, sometimes she wished she could be so free when it came to how she held herself and how she acted because she had always given other people’s opinions far too much room in her head. She shook her head slightly when Ce said she could be the responsible leader out of the two of them “I dare say you’re doing better than you think you are in that department”.</p>
<p><a href="https://i.gifer.com/2lLs.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://i.gifer.com/2lLs.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-left"/></a>It was evident that even though Ce wasn’t necessarily someone who was born to be a leader she had taken on the role when people needed her to and she had qualities about her that were likable and also reliable. “I like to be...honest with people about the person they are following” she responded and nodded her head slightly, she wasn’t and never had been perfect and she wanted to ensure those who were behind her were aware of that, she didn’t always do the right thing or head down the right path but she always did so with the best of intentions.</p>
<p>The celestial watched Ce with her dark, doe eyes as the elder female explained what she went through when she had first been turned into a valkyr, confusing was definitely the right wording choice, she couldn’t even guess how jarring it must have felt “Someone decided to save you from a certain path that night but at the same time they didn’t stick around to make sure you were going to be okay?” she pouted her lips slightly, it seemed reckless to her to turn someone but not be there for the person you turned. Though it seemed like it was pretty common from what Ce was saying.</p>
<p>“If it me I would feel...awful asking anyone to fend for themselves like that” she commented and shook her head slightly, valkyr were such an interesting species but sometimes it seemed like they didn’t help themselves when it came to how they were seen by the world. Ce’s dare made Ophelia widen her eyes for a moment before biting on her lip “I’m not afraid” she insisted, a little nervous perhaps but nothing she wouldn’t be able to overcome, so when one of the girls was passing their table, she purposely made eye contact to hint she wanted their attention and it wasn’t long before she got it.</p>
