Yeah. Clearly the reason I'm such a terrible daughter is because I haven't seen enough of the world. So instead of a world-famous university, I'm stuck in this podunk city in the middle of nowhere.
[ which, as amused as she is, she just passes it on over. ] See, I think that's bullshit. A few years here isn't going to magically make you more down-to-earth and you've got to know that.
[She takes another drag, longer this time. Once she knows what to expect, it's a little easier to maintain composure.]
Oh he knows that. This is just a convenient way to punish me while making himself look good. Such a man of the people, isn't he? Sending his daughter to school with the common folk.
Yeah, and look at where it got you. Sneaking out back to "hot box" with a local delinquent. [ she smirks. now she's just fucking with the terminology. ] Lucky you.
Hahah, no. You can't really do that with a vape anyway.
Why are you so hell-bent on sticking it to him anyway? Wouldn't it be better to just play along and get what you want that way? [ Yin sounded genuinely curious about that. ]
Have you ever had someone control every aspect of your life before? He's decided my education, my skills, my hobbies, my direction in life, all while hanging the family name over my head like a carrot on a fucking string.
And then you speak up one goddamn time and he ships you off to the other side of the fucking planet like I'm a toddler being put in time-out.
[Why do you have to joke right now when she's getting so serious? Vera's temperament collapses like a house of cards and the heiress is reduced to a fit of giggles.]
Fuck, could you imagine? Just a rocket coming down at this alley way and brrrm. [She holds her free hand over her mouth to mimic the sound of an explosion, which quickly devolves into more laughter.]
[ try as she might to roll along with her own comment, which was actually a suggestion she would not put past an overbearing father with deeper pockets than the Grand Canton, Yin couldn't hold back her own laughter either. Vera's sound effects sealed the deal. ]
Well, excuuuuse me, princess. [ Yin takes the vape back and just, wipes it off on her dress before tucking it back into the sleeve. ] That's it. I'm cutting you off. If you have any more people are definitely going to know you're on something.
That's me. And you're not totally fine. Look where you are, and what you're doing, and who it's with. [ there's a lopsided smile. ] You and I both know we'll be at each others throats again when this wears off so just enjoy it while it lasts.
[ Yin cranes her head back a moment and closes her eyes. she can still hear the music filtering out through the walls of the venue and though the acoustics suck it's enough to get a feel for the important part: the rhythm.
on impulse, Yin holds her hand out. ] Dance with me.
Quit it with that shit. [She smiles.] I don't hate you, you just piss me off.
[Something between that statement and Yin asking for a dance sends her into another giggle fit, maybe it was both of them, it might have been neither. Amazingly, she goes along with it, reaching out and taking the taller girl's hand before giving a respectful curtsy.]
[ the curtsy makes Yin nearly crack up again, but she bites her lip to keep from barking out a laugh. ] Yeah yeah, whatever you just said. [ Yin held on tightly to Vera's hand. ] Before you ask: I'll lead.
[ normally Yin would flinch back from any touch near what's left of her arm, but she's feeling fairly relaxed. there isn't much of a choice either. ] Okay. On the next measure.
[ and with that one, two, three, she starts to move and urge Vera to follow. she isn't an amazing dancer by any means. not unless there's grinding involved, usually. but for something so completely against her image and style she doesn't do half bad. Yin's earlier confidence wasn't a bluff after all. ]
[She's going to need something a little stronger than weed to get her grinding on anything, but the heiress is surprised at how well Yin is keeping her own.]

Boring, though. No wonder you ended up here, in this town.
