Finn didn't flinch, or pull away, when Candy looped herself around him. While it had been awhile since he's had an openly public display since Bree, he wasn't going to push her away on that premise alone. She had moved on and so should he. Golden hues gradually shifted to the pinkette beside him as he wondered what could come of them hanging out. He didn't expect anything from her feeling that just because she considered herself 'the party girl', that she would just jump his bones because she was bored. He followed along with her, nearly losing his balance though when she said his full name. He was certain he had never told it to her, so she was either sneaking around his office while he wasn't there, or someone has a big mouth. Bree. She was the only person he trusted with such a secret, despising his first name. He just didn't like the way it sounded and hearing it said by someone else creeped him out a little; Bree was never even allowed to say it.

Finn caught himself however, and cough as a way of clearing his throat of the embarrassment. "I'm not from Soleil. I'm actually from the 8 mile..." he paused and thought about how many people only attributed that phrase with the movie. "Uh...in Detroit. But uh, I usually play guitar when I'm bored and video games for fun." Pausing to think about her second question, wondering if he should really answer or not. He wasn't sure there would be much harm, but such a subject was personal. As far as he was concerned, they were merely work friends. Wasn't this why he was walking through downtown with Candy in the first place? It was to make friends. He needed friends that weren't just 'work friends'. Allix was the only one so far and he needed to have a drink with her some time soon. There was nothing he could do if he became friends with the strippers at work; it was inevitable really. When you work at a strip club such things were bound to happen. "Hmm...Probably the Table Top. I know a lot of short women...What about you' to all of that?" Finn turned to her expectantly waiting for her to pony up the info.

He noticed that she seemed disappointed with his answer, like she was looking for the juicier details. Just because she was a work friend didn't mean he really knew anything about her. He didn't trust her. Sure, he had told Allix basically everything that had happened up to this point, but that was after they had gotten to know each other a bit. It was inevitable that he would mention things here and there to her, he had met the minx basically after returning to town and was in a completely different mindset. Now? Out of muscle memory Finn chuckled at her quip about being too tall, while still thinking about what was safe to talk about and what could possibly trigger another emotional breakdown. With no real friends left to speak of, he suffered in silence at home. There was no one there to offer support so he didn't self destruct. Yes, he knew he was wrong, but that didn't mean he wasn't suffering too. He was suffering over his mistakes, his guilt, plus the loss of a once hated person turned friend.

Finn subconsciously listened to Candy, nodding along and giving the occasional hum of recognition. He was still lost in his thoughts, but she didn't give much in the way of who she was. The party girl, she had already mentioned that and it was something he had gathered from her nights at the club. It made him wonder if there was more depth to her than just that though.When silence fell between them, he thought that maybe she was becoming bored with him. He wasn't as full of boundless energy as he once was, but had become a bit more grounded, a bit more grown up. Would he ever be that happy again? His attention turned to her fully when she brought up his scar again, his free hand coming up to graze over it. The screaming of the car horn, blinding headlights and the glass of his helmet shattering flashed through his mind quickly. "Motorcycle accident," he replied as he dropped his hand.Finn looked her over and figured that simple answer wouldn't do for her and rolled his lips over his teeth before continuing. "The night itself is still pretty much blank, but I got a hard enough hit to the head to completely lose my memory. Became a totally different person for almost a year before my memories came back." Would that quell her thirst for knowledge on his battle scars?

the rhythmic clack of heels against the wet pavement could be heard as Audrey made her way around the bustling streets of Soleil.typically given the weather she likely would have stayed home of course but given she would be starting up her job at the salon soon a little freshening of her wardrobe felt needed. As she continued her journey she was sure to look over the different window displays hoping for something to inspire her but so far seemed to be having no such luck. She did spot something else somewhat interesting. Though she supposed the correct term would be someone. Not too far off she could see some sort of cat girl who seemed to be enjoying the mucky weather about as much as she was even managing to get her fur a little damp despite having an umbrella on her so Audrey made her way over to offer her slightly larger one instead. With any luck it would be enough to keep to rain off and she was about to go shopping anyways so it wouldn't hurt for her to pick up a new one.

In response Audrey just nodded. Normally she would use her phone or notebook to communicate but given the weather of course and not having free hands or even knowing if the cat girl person even knew sign vague gestures would have to do for now. Of course she had no plans to go to the grocery store originally but as she had pointed out it wasn't that far out and its not really like she had any set location planned in the first place so it wouldn't hurt to at least pop in there long enough to give them both a break from the gross weather.

At that Audrey just gave the other girl a sort of half smile as she then began making her way towards the grocery store making sure to walk slowly enough for kitty to keep up. Though once they got there she should probably actually exchange names with the stranger instead of just mentally referring her to as varieties of cat. Eh oh well. There wasn't much she could do about that currently.

Alex groaned as the sun light entered her room, had she really forgotten to close her curtain before heading to bed? Rolling over to face the wall she hid under the blankets trying to fall back to sleep. With time passing by and no chance in sleep returning to her she sat up rubbing her eyes while scooting herself back against the bed frame. With a thunk the book she'd fallen asleep with landed on the ground and with a roll of her eyes her head touched the wall. Another day had come and she was still in town. Thankfully she had found a job she could manage and could actually enjoy showing up to. Today though, was her day off, the ink would have to wait for another day as she needed to get some air and explore her newest home. Maybe today she'd meet someone who would be more then just another client.

"Alright then.... Time to get up." Tossing the blankets to the side Alex reached over and picked up the book, with some luck the book mark hadn't fallen out yet. A sigh escaped her as she stood and placed the book on her nightstand. She'd probably loose herself in it again tonight anyways, so why try to put it away now? After fixing the sheets she managed to rummage through her clothes eventually figuring out the outfit of the day. Something simple would do just fine, though thanks to her own history she'd remember to bring a jacket. With her clothes placed on the bed she began the rest of her routine, shower, brush teeth, braid hair, and simple makeup. Once dressed breakfast was next on her list.

Omelette or bagel? Bagel or omelette? Something quick meant she would be able to escape the house faster. Bagel it is! Grabbing a blueberry bagel from the pantry she sliced it and tossed it in the toaster, as it cooked she rummaged around to find the cream cheese and poured herself a cup of orange juice. Leaning against the counter sipping the juice she closed her eyes. Soon she'd have to check in with her mother, simply to keep the woman at bay, but for now that could wait. She still had a few more days before she'd begin to track her down again. Her thoughts where quickly interrupted as the toaster popped sending her bagel in the air. A quick spread of the cream cheese, a rinse of the cup, and a pocket check later and she was out the door.

Nibbling on her breakfast as she walked through town, Alex watched as other people began their day. Children ran around laughing and Adults scurried along to their jobs. The streets of Doux, her new found neighborhood, seemed to bring her back to old days where she'd run through old forgotten towns that had been taken back by mother nature. She didn't mind it in the least, the green moss and stone walkways had always appealed to her, though she could do without the air being so wet, a bad sign that she'd eventually get a cold if she wasn't careful. Her neighborhood eventually faded into another and as she continued to walk she made her way to the parts of town she had yet to visit.

After window shopping and flower spotting Alex eventually made it downtown, the streets where lined with neon lights and small crowds of people. Had she been drinking all of it would have been too much for the blue haired woman. It wasn't hard to spot the frequent stops, as even this early in the day people where making their way into them. Opting to continue to look around and browse she managed to wrangle an orange spiced tea out of one of the coffee shops she found.

Simon Connely was having a bad day.

It was a very dark and rainy day yesterday, and it gave him quite a hard time heading home from the
Cut ‘n Stab. A lot of people were taking the bus and so it meant long, winding rides and overloaded
busses. On a normal day, he wouldn’t be facing this predicament since some preferred to take the
bus—but, ah. When there was a storm brewing, he guessed everyone just wanted the convenience
of not getting wet. Simon did not have that luxury, though. He was sopping wet by the time he had
arrived home and had gone to bed cold—even after a warm shower.

Today was not much different.

Although the skies were slightly clearer and the rain had subsided to a lighter drizzle, Simon really didn’t
have much of a good sleep. Coming into work groggy had proven more challenging than easy. He wasn’t
making mistakes, per se, but it did take him a little longer to process things as they were. It resulted in
him asking for half a day off—mostly to allow himself some time of rest to recover from his earlier
blunders. Instead of heading straight home, though, he opted to make a detour towards the Soleil
downtown to pick up a few groceries on his way home. He mostly needed a refill on his coffee beans and
some of the snacks. He’ll pick up the rest of his weekly grocery some other time. Right now, he just
wanted to get the little items…

Which proved to take longer than expected because of the long queues down at the grocery store. It left
Simon frustrated. It took him 30 minutes just to get his items punched out, that by the time he was
done, he was left fuming more than anything. 30 minutes. Just to pay for coffee and a few snacks! He
was storming through the streets with gritted teeth; clearly in a horrendous mood. There was a female
wandering the streets with bright blue hair that Simon quickly took notice of—followed by the cup of
coffee she held in her hand.

“Ya, where’d you get that mug of caffeine?” Simon questioned her a little too roughly. He had
stopped right in front of her, looking like an angry chihuahua holding a bag of groceries. He squinted at
her cup. “God knows I envy you right now. Ugh. I need that in my life.” Did he sound sarcastic?
He probably did. “Listen, if you can direct me to where you got that, I can trade you off for some
of this uh…” Simon stuck a hand into his grocery bag as he shifted around its contents, until he
managed to produce a few of the honey sticks. He’s not sure if this person liked honey sticks, but they
were his priciest buy and they went well with whatever hot beverage. “Honey stick. Sound fair?”
He questioned. He rarely did stuff like this, but after a two day bad luck streak, he sure needed some respite.

Alex had been staring at one of the neon signs when suddenly a man followed by an attitude appeared in front of her. Caught off guard she took a step back trying to quickly evaluate the situation, before rolling her eyes. If this was actually the coffee you thought it was I'd hand it over, as it goes, it's only tea. She debated for a couple of seconds if she should help him or not, looking at him she knew today was already rough and looked like a helping hand might just turn the tides even an inch. So far she was in a good mood and had nothing planned for the day, plus getting to know more people in town had been her plan all along. and no matter how cautious she was becoming she needed to stick to it. As it stands, the spot is around the corner, and I have nothing better to do. So....I might as well lead you over there so you don't get lost.

With that she turned on her heals and started walking in the direction of the stand, it was just around the corner but with the way he looked he'd probably get lost. No sense in letting him suffer. Alex spent the small walk in silence as she listened to the sounds around her, not sure how to talk to the guy she was leading around. As they turned the corner the little stall came into view only a few feet from them. There it is. She said as she pointed at the spot he so desperately was looking for. Trying to take another sip of her tea she groaned, gone already, maybe she should have gotten the larger size anyways. Stepping towards the stall she made sure he was in front of her as he clearly needed his caffeine. Looks like i need a refill anyways...
