Re: Hiding by the food - OTA
Charlie found Dorcas' attitude to be amusing, especially when compared to their first meeting. Maybe coming to this party was a good idea after all - she'd get a ton more entertainment out of antagonizing some of her fellow Pax residents. Too bad there weren't any jars of organs around anywhere, although on second thought, that was probably a good thing. Considering what had happened after the jar of guts, the less, the better.
"Maybe you're just my new favorite chew toy." And I don't really know anyone else at this party, but Charlie would shoot herself in the head before she admitted to anything of that nature. Of course there was Samuel, but the fact that he was a cop still nagged at the back of her mind, even though they'd started getting along well enough.
Besides knowing Dorcas, there was that comfortable familiarity that she couldn't shake - she might not have known it consciously, but the pink-haired woman was one of several that she had felt drawn towards. The pull towards Samuel and Dorcas was the strongest, though whether that was because she knew them on a name-level she wasn't terribly sure about. There was a red-wighaired woman not too far off (talking to Jack, of course) who seemed slightly familiar - thoughts of the golden apple came back - but Charlie hadn't had any first introductions with her and wasn't in the habit of introducing herself.
"Besides, you seem like you could use some toughening up. Look, you're already growing a pair just by talking to me."
