Lucy shook her head. "I don't mind when it's just one person," she said. It was only when it was a lot of people talking a lot and making a lot of noise that she began to retreat further into herself. Spending time with people one-on-one was easier to handle, and she enjoyed the company. Being alone was harder.

An amused snort escaped her when Lucy added flowers and simply said 'Color'. She was different than anyone Roxanne had ever interacted with, but it was kind of nice, even though she wasn't entirely sure if she was talking too much. "Is that a nice way to ask me to shut up? I will if you want."

Lucy looked at Roxy for a moment before reaching into her bag to pull out the maroon and pink with baby's breath flower crown she'd made. She set it on her head and pointed to it. "Color."

She looked toward the street as Roxy continued talking about how she might pass the time next event. "I like the quiet," she said finally after a moment.

A person of few words it seemed. Roxanne realized the bubbly socialite persona she was so accustomed to wearing would do no good here, so she let it drop away. It was relieving if she was being honest. "Some dark red might spice it up without being too bright." She shrugged, sure that Lu didn't want unsolicited fashion advice. "I think I might make a bingo board for the next one of these. Squares like 'obnoxious cowboy boots' and 'more than five colors in one outfit'. Something to pass the time while people watching." She huffed, letting her head fall onto her hand and propping herself up on her elbow. "Otherwise I might just go stir crazy in this godforsaken town."

Lucy blinked, having thought she'd been noticeable to the woman before and surprised by Roxy's surprise. "I don't like a lot of color," she said after Roxy's compliment. That seemed obvious, but still. Besides, it wasn't sweltering outside, yet. Lucy was grateful for that, at least. They may have to make adjustments come summertime.

Event: Flower Festival Where: Main Street, off to the side Who: Lucy (@ambercast)

The general hubub of the town was interesting to behold, but Roxanne found that she was too sober to handle this much of a crowd for very long. She stepped off to the side of the street, huffing out a sigh and perching herself on a concrete wall. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest when she realized that Lucy was standing right near her, having not noticed before. "I have to respect the black on black in this amount of sunshine. Dedication to the aesthetic is admirable."
