Ellie had offered a hand and raised her bottle to both Nick and Xavi, pleased to be able to claim she had at least met two new people in the building should the night fall flat. She listened intently as Xavius told of his day and the frustrations that came with it, her head subtly nodding until he seemed to press the breaks on his own conversing. [color=7bcdc8]“No, no, no,”[/color] Ellie protested, stretching her hand out to fall on his shoulder and leaning in just slightly. [color=7bcdc8]“I’ve watched [i]Pet Cemetery[/i] and [i]Children of the Corn[/i]. Kids can be truly wicked, terrifying, filthy little things… I want six.”[/color] A wild grin crinkled the corners of her eyes, unwavering even when she pretended not to notice the man’s pained expression as he took a drink. She turned to Nick in an effort to subtly give Xavius a moment of privacy.

 [color=7bcdc8]“Eventful, huh? Like I went to my ten year old cousin’s birthday party eventful? Or I woke up in a train station in Illinois wearing a sash that said ‘Bride To-Be’ eventful?”[/color] Ellie’s lips pursed and her eyes narrowed. [color=7bcdc8]“Not that, like, I’m speaking from experience or anything,”[/color] She relentlessly pressed into Nick’s concise answer about his day, unsatisfied with the lack of information she was given. As if the universe was handing him a free pass out of her grasp, however, Ellie’s attention was yanked to the stage where her roommate and one other had climbed behind the microphone. Her smile seemed to widen as she absentmindedly swayed along to the few songs she was able to catch. 

Ellie reached for another beer as she drained her first, stretching it out to Nikola. [color=7bcdc8]“Can you do the thing?”[/color] She inquired as she gestured to the railing where she had seen him crack open his own. [color=7bcdc8]“My mom paid a lot for my teeth,”[/color] she almost seemed to snort at her own explanation, an inside joke with herself.
