A man sits down next to her, ordering two back to back shots before turning to her. By shot number two her attention was on him though, amber eyes taking in the wallflower she’d introduced herself to at the festival. He turns his attention to her after the second shot, and she nods to confirm that he did indeed remember her name correctly. ”Loren, yes? Backward introductions and drinks all around, it seems,” she says as she downs the rest of her glass in one large swig and plops it back on the bar for the bartender to fill. “It tastes kind of like piss but it’s strong,” she says to him, nodding as the bartender chuckles and fills her glass as well.
Weaver swivels her body around to face Loren, curious about the man. ”Outlander, I assume? Because I would have remembered a man that looks like you and drinks like you if you’d been around for long.” Besides, she’d grown up trapped in Halo. The faces never really changed, and though you didn’t necessarily know all of them, you knew most of them and you recognized the rest. It was a blessing and a curse, the whole small town thing. It was nice to know most of the people you lived with and yet, it got kind of boring. Though most of the natives were prejudiced against the outlanders, and while she had some reservations, Weaver wasn’t necessarily against them. They were a nice change of pace for tiny little Halo, and her tone as she asks makes it clear she’s just curious rather than judgmental.
