"oh, i'm like a skittish cat, you would have scared me no matter what, no need to feel sorry for it." cosima said with a soft wave of her hand. "come on, then. the playground is certainly big enough for the two of us." she grinned, patting the small bridge she was currently tucked into. "i'm good, thank you so much for asking," cosima felt her heart warm at the kindness of the stranger, "it's complicated? or long winded. i love a good party, i do, but there's something about stepping back and just watching it as if i were writing it rather than experiencing it. making up the lives of the people passing the windows rather than the friends i know and the problems they actually have." she explained, knowing it likely sounded insane but she'd been doing it since the first bush party she went to in her hometown. "i understand not loving parties though. my sister hates them, always comes to mine, but she truly doesn't like them. much better with people one on one. or at least better than in a crowd." sabella had already slipped out of this party over an hour ago. likely to buy cheap corner store snacks and find the closest skatepark.

rosa liked to think that she could handle a lot, and in some ways this was absolutely true. her family was messy, meaning she had to be the stable one more often than not. left to her own devices though? rosalinda struggled, especially in crowds. parties weren't her strong suit but tonight she'd made a valiant effort to appease some dear friends of hers. the end result had each friend paired off with someone for the night, while rosa was left stumbling around on her lonesome. she gave it an hour before she couldn't take it anymore, opting to slip out the door and into the safety of solitude. she wandered around aimlessly for a minute or so, until she found herself at a playground nearby. there was one woman there, also alone, which seemed like the perfect opportunity for the kind of socializing rosa was good at.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you. you seem so peaceful over here and I selfishly wanted to join in it," she replied as she approached. up close she could see that this woman was quite striking, with piercing blue eyes she wouldn't soon forget. "yeah, I'm cool, thanks. just not really a party girl. being over there wasn't doing much for me, you know? are you okay? why are you sitting out here all alone?"
