Well, trouble is ONE way to describe it... Fire thought to herself as she watched the other girl sit down across from her. "Not any serious trouble or anything like that. The warden isn't looking for me, if that's what you mean," she answered quickly.
"It's just... It's just a long story," she continued, trying her best to shrug it off casually. "I'd probably bore you to sleep with it if I told you."

Gypsy lifted a shoulder, as though it were neither here nor there if Fire talked to her or not. "I got time for a story, if you wanna tell it." She looked at her. She usually couldn't care less about other people's issues, but dammit if she wasn't curious. Plus, she always did like a little bit of drama to play around with.

Fire swallowed hard, feeling a sizable lump growing in her throat. At first, coming to this attic seemed like a good idea, but now she wished that she could be anywhere BUT!
"It's nothing, really," she denied once more, trying her hardest to play it off. "It's really quite silly, actually." She began to wring her hands slowly, using this moment to 'casually' crack her knuckles.

Gypsy crossed a leg over her knee, resting her hands on the trunk and leaning back on them. She arched a brow. "Honey, relax. I'm not gonna make you tell me anything you don't wanna say."

Fire's eyebrows arched as she looked across at the other girl. How could she be so sure that she could trust her? She barely knew her! She sighed, her head shaking slowly. "Have you ever done something just because it's what your supposed to do?" She asked after a short silence.

She smirked. "Honey, if I ever did anything the way I was supposed to, I wouldn't have spent so much damn time in and out of the Refuge." She tilted her head, regarding her. "But I get it. We all gotta pretend sometimes. It sucks."

"Tell me about it," she agreed, letting out a quick, almost cynical laugh. It seemed like all she knew how to do anymore was pretend, it was beginning to take its toll on her. "It gets hard to figure out where the lies end and the truth begins after a while."
She lifted her head slowly, nervously licking her lips. That was more than she has told anyone else before -- and she couldn't tell if that made her feel relieved or even more nervous than before.

Gypsy watched her, eyeing her a little curiously. Gypsy had her own fair share of secrets, but she'd gotten so good at keeping them, dealing with them on her own, that they almost didn't matter any more. But this girl...her eyes were too expressive. They gave too much away. People like Gypsy took advantage of weaknesses like that.
"I snuck a bottle a' whiskey up here yesterday. It tastes like rubbing alcohol, but it does the trick. Want some?"

"Whiskey?" she asked, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips. "Well, it's not rum... but I'll take it." She couldn't remember the last time she had a drink and, boy, was this welcomed!

Gypsy actually grinned at this, only partially smirking and she got up, rustling in a corner, looking for it. "Here it is." She walked back over, sittin on the drunk and twisting open the top. "Hope you don't mind being all kinds a' classy and drinking straight from the bottle." She took a swig, face screwing up as she handed Fire the bottle.

"Oh, I don't know, that's a little too classy for me," Fire joked as she took the bottle from her acquaintance. She brought the bottle to her lips and took a quick swig.
"Oh, Jesus, that's strong!" she said with a laugh, her body shuddering as the alcohol burned her throat. "Where did you FIND this?" she asked, quickly stealing another swig before handing the bottle back to her.

She smirked, taking another drink. "One of the first kids I met here, Moonshine. He's from Kentucky. Made this shit in the goddamn bathtub." She shrugged. "It was free. Apparently, havin' tits goes pretty far with that guy." She took another drink before handing it back to Firecracker.

"You can make this in a bathtub?" She asked, her eyes growing wide. She took the bottle again and took another drink. This sip didn't burn nearly as much as last time, but she could feel it going to her head already. "I didn't know you could do that!"
She laughed again and passed the bottle back to Gypsy. "If I ever meet this Moonshine you speak of, I'll have to thank him personally."

She snorted. "Just be prepared to fend off a shit-ton of flirting. Poor kid's a big fan of the ladies. He's hot and built, but a total puppy." She smirked, enjoying the pleasant little headrush another sip gave her.

"I think I can handle it," she replied confidently, a snicker quickly escaping her lips. Hell, she did it everyday with her own boyfriend! She could sure enough fend off a stranger's advances.
She sighed contently, her head resting back against the wall. "How much do we have left in that bottle?"
