Baby, It's Cold Outside {Rave!Blitz}

Just get to the store and get back, that's all you gotta do Aceline, that's all you gotta do.

Esrooke is sick like she remembers her mother being, but she had to be at most seven and Esrooke was at most fifteen. It's cold of course, it's always winter without Spades around but more so with Esrooke stuck as bedridden. She's fine though, she doesn't need a blanket around her just to get to the store like Esrooke thinks; he's stuck in bed and Aceline is still less mature than him in his eyes. What did she even need from the store anyways? They needed food or something, to get out the house more maybe, she'll probably just get food and painkillers and call it a day.

What type of food did sick people even like? What type of food did Esrooke even like? It's scary to her, how much she barely knows her own blood, but after ten years she's still found rarely any reason to talk to him, even if she could. Just get to the store.

"Hey! Where's your coat? You're going to freeze to death!"

Aceline's head was burrowed into the ground as she walked, trying to avoid as much eye contact and small talk as possible, but her head snapped up at the voice. Who the dick are you? She stopped in her tracks as she looked up to the question before looking around trying to spot anybody else that he could've been talking to before raising a brow and a finger to herself.

She loved Esrooke, she knew she did, but anything to keep her out of his line of regards for another five, ten, thirty minutes, well, it didn't hurt her at least. 

He looks like something out of the capitol, this man, but I probably look like something out of district twelve so we're probably two different spectrums of bizarre looking. I haven't brushed my hair in a good three days, but it's not like I was planning on going anywhere special. Not even Brady's - I haven't seen him since I've been preoccupied with being Esrooke's personal nurse.

"Yes, you! Are you all right? Do you need some help? Let me get you a blanket at least."

I have actually nothing to say in this situation, what type of hand motion can tell somebody 'no thank you i just gotta get something from the store but i don't know what i'm supposed to be buying, and also please keep talking to me but at the same time leave me alone. Instead I just smile back into the ground at the thought of this bizarre man, and I take tiny steps away hoping he'll keep talking about something to buy me more time away from Esrooke.

Esrooke is family, and I love him so, I swear I do but just for five more minutes I want to be something other than his's baby sister. I wave a kind of 'no' hand motion while trying to keep hair out of my mouth with my chuckle, 'yes, I am alright, I am more than alright, just keep talking' like I wish I could.
