"stop saying sorry! i was only kidding. plus the ceramic flamingo wasn't that important, i just thought it would be kinda camp in my bohemian setting you know?" she said before playfully nudging the other. "we can get everything if you want. the bracelet's would be cute with the matching crystals. i'll even wear your blood in a necklace if you really wanna get weird with it." salem was glad birdie shared her enthusiasm about something most people would probably find cheesy at their age. as the two approached the table salem was in awe of the different options for crystals. "okay, if you could choose any one which would it be? i know amethyst would be nice for friendship purposes."
birdie's eyes quickly widen. " no ! sorry – no, i swear, i'm not bored ! i think it's sweet to see you get all googly eyed for a ceramic flamingo, you know ? i'll talk your ear off about dungeons & dragons and why you should totally join my next campaign over lunch. " their grin widens at the prospect of friendship jewelry – something birdie was actually quite fond of ( embarrassingly ), " can we get one of the bracelets ? oh ! – we should get matching colors. or crystals. some cute shit like that, y'know ? unfortunately for you i'm even cheesier. there's a place a little farther down that sells pretty ones, c'mon.
