❝ You came to me out of nowhere when I was at my lowest and promised me the world... I knew I had to put in the work, but I finally had my shot!

God, I don't think I could have been any luckier.~ ❞

❝ Those were those little gems you were using back on our date, right? I don't know... I guess it depends on if they think they can use them for something or otherwise monopolize them. ❞

❝ Not unless you bought a backstage pass and managed to rent me out for the night. ❞

Lana would get a portion of the payment of course, but it'd still need to be a transaction at the end of the day. What a shame...

❝ I'd love to join you, but my bosses say I can't. C'mon, you know that. ❞

A sad truth, but such was the life of a worker at V-Tower.

Tenderly kissing him, Lana pulled away after a few moments.

❝ There, problem solved, right~? ❞

❝ You gonna fix that then or are you just gonna stand there, gawking at me~? ❞

<<< and shakes her head.

❝ Sent me spiraling, but I got better. ❞

No she didn't.

❝ Anyways, here's to a good evening, yeah? ❞

❝ Geez, and I thought /I/ could be busy at times. Then agan, I guess I never gave much thought to any form of religion since I was in my really early twenties? Kinda gave up hope for anything like that when my parents were murdered... ❞

Taking hold of her tankard of mead, Lana chuckles soflty >>>

❝ You're all good, Angel, just messing with you. I'm pretty alright, just been busy. I'm sure you're working hard too with the Halloween shoots that happened? ❞

Even if it's talking about work in the end, it's the best small talk she can muster at the moment.
