text.

Considering we're actually in a nice place we should make the most of it. I'm shopping. Since I don't have my best friend it'd be nice to have someone else to shop with.

[ She means it nicer than it sounds, it's just a Lydia thing. Shopping is definitely more fun with others ]

Anyone can come. I'll text you the shop.

[ And she actually means anyone. She won't deprive someone of shopping, she'll just deal with the 'no killing' if she has to ]

action.

[ And now that she's sent the invitation out Lydia gets back to the task at hand: black boots or brown boots?

She'd been looking at the clothes a few moments before, and judging by the handful of coat hangers she's carrying it has been going well. Obviously. But now she just needs shoes to go with it ]

I wouldn't complain if these suddenly happened to find themselves that way. [ She could throw a party ]

How'd it happen?

[forgetyourusedtobe]

The vampires tried to eradicate them. Thousand year long feud between the species, you know. The stuff of B-horror movies.

[intelligently]

If I knew a vampire I'd know where to go. [ Maybe her vampire is the Admiral, or that'll be her solution later ]

[forgetyourusedtobe]

I used to date one. Two, actually. Not much worth the drama.

[intelligently]

That I'd agree on. [ Not that she knows the vampire part but her boyfriend was a kanima so... ] I'm glad I'm just stuck with werewolves, then.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

You didn't even give me a chance to mention the hybrids. Those are real fun.

[intelligently]

How much exactly do you have?

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Just those as far as I know.

[intelligently]

Then I think this is the first time I'd rather be just in my world. [ Or that there is only werewolves. So she knows so far, anyway ]

How do you manage?

[forgetyourusedtobe]

[Elena shrugs.]

Put my life in danger about once a year, occasionally die. Takes the tension out of it anyway.

[intelligently]

You say that as if it's not a big deal.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

It's not at this point.

[Elena shrugs a little and looks at Lydia.]

I was ritually sacrificed last year. It doesn't really get much worse than that.

[intelligently]

I'd think that was a big deal. People dying, crap happening where you could die? Life isn't nothing.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

[Elena shrugs again.]

People die all the time. Some sooner rather than later.
