Re: Coffee prize: Ren S & Noah N
Ren nodded. "I went to school there too," he waved a hand in the general direction. "It's not the worst place to live." His parents were still there or he might have maybe just stayed there, but Repose while it wasn't that far away, was also kind of a world away, and it was easy enough to hide here and stay away from all of the things he didn't like there, while occasionally - occasionally - hopping over for good stuff. "It'd be an alright place to work, or even live if you needed to during the week for ease or whatever."
He turned the shot of espresso in his hands trying to decide if he wanted to talk about it. Sometimes he felt like he'd talked it to pieces, and sometimes he felt as if he'd ignored it so successfully that he wasn't certain how he really was. Although, in the end he was okay, right? Like, yeah, it'd been a surprise, but he was okay. He had some new friends, maybe more than he'd had previously, and like, he still had regular sex, and none of them were expecting things from him, which was alright. He had a good place, people to chill with. Stuff was okay. "A former uh, boyfriend sent me a letter saying he was leaving town, and I thought I was done with that, and I guess I wasn't as done as I thought," he laughed shortly, and lifted the espresso to take another sip of the shots. "But it'll be alright, we weren't really talking much, even though we left it friendly enough, so it's not like it'll be that much different in the end. Life's not bad for me right now. I don't have any big shit I'm dealing with, so I think it just took me off guard mostly."
