I disagree, you have gorgeous eyes and I like your hair. (she adds to it nonchalantly, her eyes focused on the road before stopping carefully.)
I almost drove past it... there's a payphone. (points out.)
( the pauses in thought are frequent now, between statements. her poker face is only so goodโitโs hard to hide the red on her own cheeks. )
pleaseโiโm hardly anything special. but thank you. ( she laughs breathlessly, directing her gaze embarrassedly out the window. )
@noIoyaIty โnot really...โ shrugs. โyet I don't wanna get out of this car.โ she admits, bold, with those down turned eyes meeting bishop's. โI like talking with you.โ
@noIoyaIty โI know.โ she chuckles, the jingle of her keys being prominent as she searches inside the purse. once again, she hesitates to open the door. โhmm.โ turns back to face him. โyou got anything to do after this?โ
@noIoyaIty โฮบฮฑฮปฮญ ฮบฯฯฮนฮตโ for the first time since they met, xena's expression speaks before she does. โmaybe that's your philosophy, but I won't deprive myself of the possibility of something nice just because there's also the chance of things going badly.โ shrugs. โsounds like fear to me.โ
@noIoyaIty โbeing always right is boring, don't you think?โ she finds it comfortable inside the car. just them and their low yet interested voices. she feels the need to invite him over. but bishop isn't the type to visit, and xena isn't impulsive. โI told you I like risks.โ

@noIoyaIty โI'm heading back." cutting the cigarette's life short, she adds it to the empty bottle too. โI hope you're around to say goodbye.โ heels against dirt leave a trace of her before the door shuts behind her. xena soon finds her place at the booth with her friends and few dancers.
@noIoyaIty โboo~โ she playfully yet flatly lets out her brief disappointment. โI'm not dating anybody, I'm a different taste.โ she meant well, the pride shines in her eyes as she now looks to the window on her side. โor maybe I'm just too busy.โ
@noIoyaIty โyou're wise, bishop.โ she says with a sigh, her eyes staring at the girls who also went out for a smoke and, of course the men coming in and out of the establishment.
@noIoyaIty โpain doesn't stop me from spinning too.โ is what she says after taking a long drag from the cigarette, fixing her posture. โI like the risks, I guess.โ
โI think it's worth it.โ she says before silence fills the vehicle once more. she breaks it briefly. โwhat would be the point of having conversations if we're always trying to... how do you say it?โ there's some mumbling in a native tongue. โah, save face.โ nods. โmistakes are +
๐ญ.๐ฐ๐บ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ท doesn't look over right away. โ they avoid discomfort because it costs them something. โ a beat as he adjusts his grip on the wheel , โ time , control , and sometimes pride. they aren't willing to pay that price just to be honest for a minute. โ he added.
