We've loved and lost Alex, Tyren and Adina - District Two - Eighteen The summer is fastly approaching, the last few chances to catch some downtime before the next games begin and also a brief but casual chance to remind each other that this year was to be the last possible year that they would be reaped. Of course, not everybody in the present company was like that, but it was a fact for many of those at the pub this afternoon. The pub stank of alcohol, but the atmosphere of the place is calm but busy. Noise of chairs being moved and the littering conversation being made across tables and counters. Tyren and the group walk in and they find themselves a nice solitary table. This will probably be their whole summer, doing things like this. It will be the last time they get to be this social with one and other due to the troubles of becoming eighteen looming over many of them. After taking the seats, leaving two at the end of the table for any unexpected arrivals, Tyren cracks open the conversation despite his lack of leadership of the group. It generally appears to be Matthew, mostly, who holds the group together in terms of somebody to look toward for a solid topic of talk. “I’ll get the drinks.” Tyren just assumes everyone is having a beer, and that’ll be all. He has glasses on today, which actually compliment his haircut which is as slim as always. He heads off to the counter and the ordering of drinks is simple. There’s only three drinks to carry so there isn’t a trouble there, either. Tyren comes back holding all three drinks, one for Matthew, one for Kyanite and one for Vy. His own drink is grabbed when he comes back with another two, putting one by the empty seats towards the end of the table. In a moment, Alex and Adina come in through the door, hands held as she stops in front of him and pecks him on the cheek before he then walks ahead of her, releasing his hand and smiling at the group. “Hey, guys. This is Adina, she’s my girlfriend.” She smiles a little at the group, seemingly nervous but at the same time very enthused about meeting them all. Tyren of course she has met already. “Hey!” She greets everybody generally before taking her seat next to Alex. Tyren gives a nod of his head to Adina, raising his glass a little. “What you having Adina?” He asks her from across the table. “Oh, Alex said he’ll get me something.” She says that, and it comes across almost as though whatever Tyren has to offer perhaps isn’t quite good enough. Alex gives Tyren a faint smile before getting up almost out of reluctance but still, a willingness behind his kindness. He get a drink from the counter but it’s clear as day. He puts it next to Adina, “There you go,” He says casually, genuinely smiling. “Thanks.” She simply says, not a bad look on her face at all. “Here, somebody put something good on the jukebox.” Alex slips out a coin from his pocket and puts it in the middle of the table. “Right, so how is everyone? Spare no details.” Tyren says, adjusting his glasses a little. |
