Annie looked to Rhap with a small, underwhelming smile. "It went well enough. Me and my family went to England for a couple of weeks. There was a lot of time for reading." There was almost always something in the way Annie spoke that came across as irritated, but those that knew her well knew to ignore it. Most of the time she wasn't, it was just the way she spoke - like the world was incredibly, incredibly lame at all times.

"I made some new friends here, too." she added, and that was it. Annie seldom volunteered a lot of information in conversations without prompting. "What about you? How are your sisters?"

To their right, Carissa and Aisha were continuing their conversation in what was probably Aisha's attempted at a hushed tone.

"So what, tell me what, are you gonna do about it this month?" she was saying, giving Carissa a witheringly judgemental glare.

"I was just going to wait it out like I normally do, just beca-"

"Oh and that went so well last time, didn't it?"

"Just because," Carissa continued with a scowl over Aisha's interruption, "it went wrong last month, doesn't mean it will again. I've worked on the setup, it'll be harder for that to happen."

"Yeah yeah girl, you keep tellin' yourself that, but when you wake up-"

"Aisha."

"When you wake up-"

"Aisha. Inside voice."

"... if you will let me finish! When you wake up lookin' for all the world like a drunk hobo in the park, don't come cryin' to me again!" Aisha folded her arms.

"Aisha! I ... I didn't even drink that much, okay? I'll be fine next time."

"... yeah, yeah. You say that, but I got my eye on you!"
