Arranging flowers with soft care, her cat weaving around her ankles You think the lilies or roses for the altar?
whatever you think is best
putting the roses on the altar and lighting a candle I wish I had a girlfriend to share this with… looks down sadly
What do you mean? Are you saying you’re gay?
I am attracted to women, yes. It’s not something I chose, but it’s just how I feel. It would be nice to have someone who understands me.
oh, well yeah I get it. But wouldn’t you rather choose someone who accepts you for you rather than liking you for your gender?
That makes sense, but most guys don’t accept me so why would I want to be with one of them?
what if a girl did that for you?
Hmm… maybe… You think there’s someone out there that would be interested in talking to me?
Yea, probably! The festival just started. You should totally go down there and mingle and find someone who likes you!
Alright… here goes nothing. walks down to the festival and looks for people to talk to
Walks along side of you and smiles. good luck. Maybe they’re hiding among the games or food.
Thank you. walks towards the games, speaking to people along the way Girl 1: Hi, are you having fun?
Hi too! Yeah, I love this festival! The magical cat rides are the best!
Oh… Hi! Yes, I love the cat rides. They’re so magical. And have you tried the apple cider? It’s delicious!
stares at Eliana’s kitty wondering if she can pet it
Oh, my apologies. You can pet her. She loves being petted. smiles and continues talking to the girls
can i feed her some treats from my bag?
Sure. hands you a few treats to give to the cat Here you go. Thank you for being nice to her. She’s very precious to me.
I know the feeling, She’s beautiful and cute! I can see why she’s precious to you.
So, what brings you here today? Are you here for the festival too?
Yea! This is my 3rd year coming! My favorite part is the potion stand!
Oh, I love the potion stand too! I always try to get the new potions they have. I also like getting some potions just to drink straight away.
Potion stand was closed this morning. Do you know why?
thinks Hmm… the only reason I can think of why the potion stand might be closed is if they had a shortage of materials.
we should keep trying until the stand opens then
I will call them. takes out phone and dials number Let’s see if anyone answers.
It rings 3 times and someone picked up
Hello? listens Yes, hi. This is Eliana, I’m calling about the potion stand. It’s closed right now and I was wondering if you know why?
Asking the person on the phone to come open
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your help. hangs up the phone They said they will open up soon. We should head back over there.
Alrighty. Should I be following you or staying here?
You should follow me. starts walking towards the potion stand Just stay close behind me.
Right. Follows her while looking around
notices some men looking at SorbetMood Excuse me, sir, but could you please step aside? We don’t want any trouble here.
Steps to the side before following Eliana again. Eliana notices a bruise on Sorbetmood’s arm
Are you okay? Who did this to you? reaches out to touch SorbetMood’s arm
Flinches a little ah- oh, nothings wrong.
Please, tell me what happened. Did someone hurt you? softly touches SorbetMood’s arm again
It’s not alright. If someone hurt you, they need to be held accountable. Please, trust me enough to let me help you. firmly grasps SorbetMood’s arm
struggles a bit but gives into Eliana’s grasp fine… I was attacked last night. But I can handle myself.
pulls SorbetMood into a comforting embrace I’m so sorry that happened to you. You shouldn’t have to handle it alone.
Hey, Thanks for the support.
You’re welcome. Just remember, I’m here for you. gently kisses SorbetMood’s cheek We’ll make sure this doesn’t happen again.
