blinks , she takes the HINT to not be too pushy . she gets there , but at least sia knows when to stop . “ okay - oh ! electrolytes are good too . and tea ? probably ? ” blinks , again . maybe he doesn’t remember . perhaps … a reminder ? “ oh - i saw you last night . you looked pretty messed up - but you were nice so - why not ? i like it when people help hungover me . ”
“ oh yeah -- sports drinks are good shit for hangovers because of that. ” that was why he was out with a hangover in the first place. he needed to restock his kitchen so he could resist going out and ultimately getting himself into trouble all over again. “ really ? cool then um guess i should thank my drunk self then. usually i only hear about the wild things i’ve done the night before. ”

girl will blink , she’s not so much to a man of this little words ; but NO WORRIES . she can talk enough for the both of them . “ then that means you’ve started your recovery road to 100% . judging by how much you were drinking … it might take you a whole day . ” but she had only JUST met him , so she could be wrong . she probably is , sia has a tendency to be wrong at times . “ mhmm ! got some advil in my bag too , if you need it . ”
a wince comes with her words, it’s one thing to admit to himself he has a problem, it’s another for someone else to possibly notice it. a complete stranger at that. “ no -- thanks. water’s fine. i don’t do well with medication. ” more like he had a problem staying away from it. not that advil was something he went to for recreational use. “ why --- why are you going out of your way for me? ”

hair will be brushed away from her face by her own hand . stella is no MIND READER , but she likes to think she could read people decently , still . something’s off , she should divert the attention off of him . “ my mom had me learn piano since i was young – ” she’ll offer , hazel eyes falling on the other . “ but lets just say i sing better than i play , and my singing ? pretty basic . ”
the male nodded, unsure why she was telling him this. “ if you’re singing’s basic then there doesn’t seem much point,” he stated bluntly. “unless you actually enjoy singing then --- it can never just be basic.” thinking out loud is mostly what he was doing. mostly sober or not, he never had a good brain to mouth filter.

her mother had taught her well ; while chad fell asleep during classical music lessons , stella thoroughly enjoyed it . stella could only play the piano , sing a tune or two - so she was surely not going to perform tonight , but she would watch - enjoy it . “ it’s been awhile since i heard something so passionate . ” she has a fair amount of TALENTED friends , but passionate ? debatable . “ how long have you played for ? ”
some part of salem almost felt bad. a talent he had probably cultivated over years of hard work the first time he was alive, he now barely payed any attention to. “ uuh --- can’t say. years, probably. ” he shrugged. everything he could never find words elegant enough to express, he let it out when he was on stage. how disillusioned anyone from the audience must become when speaking to him.
salem stares at the bottle in her hand with a curious expression, trying to figure out what she wants. he has no recollection of her but to be fair, he doesn’t remember most people he meets since he’s usually under the influence. however, lately he had been trying to do better for elva’s sake which is the only reason he had a hangover. he never had one before because that would imply he was ever sober. “ sort of? ” he finally responded, putting together the clues and guessing that’s what the water must be for. “ is that for me? ” he questions.
“ you’ve got to stay hydrated so you don’t DIE-DRATE ! ” girl greets him , holding a water bottle as she does so . sia shakes it , just a moment so they can hear the ice shaking in the metal container . big eyes fall on him , she’s so curious about him ever since the other night - the one that , perhaps , they both may have been fairly intoxicated ; but she remembered it all . sia’s a bit awkward , not quite sure what to say . “ uh , hey ! you got a hangover today ? ” nailed it , SIA : master of communication ! @graveghcst wanted a starter !
"How'd you get this?" salem & adelaine!
The male shrugged, taking another drag from his cigarette. “Could’ve been a fall, an accidentally broken bottle --- wait, no. It had to be the time I totally failed at this party trick I was trying to do.”
