New Arrival

[alan]

"Hey now, he's probably very busy... when he's not sitting here of course, he probably hasn't gotten around to letting you know yet. Right Balthazar?" Alan smiled at her because he didn't really know what else to do or say, now he just felt kind of bad because he brought it up. He coughed a little embarrassed and continued "And by the way... I've told you before, we're not homeless. The entire world is our home"

[Balthazar]

Balthazar just laughed, a bit insensitive, at Isola's little rant, but he found it amusing. She was so sad, having no confidence at all.
"Dear Isola..."
he said still chuckling a bit.
"I am not done with the auditions, so I can't have given you my decision yet, since I have none before I have seen all. Just like Alan here says, I have been very busy."
He smiled at her.

[Isola]

"I really don't care anymore." Isola let out a soft laugh and shook her head as she replied.
And she actually didn't care, at least not at the moment.
Right now Isola just wanted to get away from here and get totally hammered with Alan, or anyone who wanted to join her.
She didn't like that Baltazar said dear to her, it was so patronizing. Well fuck him she thought, she was going to get pissfaced and he couldn't come with.
Isola didn't want to be in the company of assholes anyway.
"Alan? You wanna drink til you drop?"

[alan]

"See what I said, he's not even done yet!" Alan said it, forgetting that he had just felt bad about bringing it up in the first place, with an out-of-place enthusiasm that really had the potential to make the conversation even more awkward.
He felt it might be a great time to change the subject and gratefully picked up on Isola invitation to do some serious drinking "Don't mind if I do" Alan said it with a broad grin and rummaged through his bag and pulled out the bottle of scrumpy and uncorked the bottle, tog one big gulp and then handed it to Isola

[Balthazar]

Balthazar smiled at Alan picking up the bottle form his bag, thinking that that might not have been quite what Isola had meant. She clearly wanted to get out of there.

[Isola]

Isola received the bottle and took a big gulp, this was not what she had planned and gave a knowing glance Alan.
"I thought we could go somewhere else?"

[alan]

Alan was scratching fervently at his armpit while Isola was talking. He didn't really mind going somewhere else, maybe someplace with a lot of trees... "Well I guess we could, couldn't we?" he stopped scratching and continued "Do you have anywhere particylar in mind or do we just drift around?".

[Isola]

She handed the bottle back to Alan and smiled while replying.
"I don't know, first we get some more to drink and then we'll see where we end up?"
Isola fiddled with the piece of wood around her neck and looked down on the ground.
Perhaps they could go back to the tube, she was kind of tired and cold.
Her clothes wasn't quite dry yet and it was warmer in her little lair in the tunnels of Highgate Station.
Besides it wasn't all too far away from here.
"How about after we fix some more booze, we can go to my little place?"
She looked at Alan and smiled, Isola didn't want him to sleep outside.
What if it started to rain like it did before, then he could catch a nasty fever or worse..

[alan]

"Whatever sounds good to me, but I'd would like to see where you're staying right now" Alan thought about how what he had just said could be misunderstood. He took a sip from the bottle and looked at Isola again "So... lead and I shall follow".

As he crawled back on his feet he remembered Balthazar, he didn't want to be rude even if Isola really didn't want him around "Do you want to join us?" He chuckled "what a splendid offer isn't it? Do you want to go drink with two bums? I'm guessing you won't hear that too often"

[Balthazar]

At the offer, Balthazar looked at Isola and then back at Alan with a smirk.
"I don't really think I'm welcome. You go ahead without me."

[Isola]

Oh no don't invite that stuck up-bitch to come with us, Isola thought grumpy to herself, sighed and rose from the bench.
She really didn't want to talk to him and she definitely didn't want him in her lair or home, her safe place.
Isola turned to Alan:
"Well come on and we'll get some more to drink. Then you can se my place, it's not much but it's something to call home."
She laid emphasis on the last word and winked her eye at him, turned around and walked away from Balthazar without a word.

[alan]

He had expected that answer from Balthazar but still he had asked, no point in being rude just for the sake of it "Allright stargazer, where do we get something to drink?"

The way Isola had said "home" and winked at him made him feel kind of wierd, he blushed a little and muttered to himself "what did she mean by that I wonder". He shook of the feeling and looked at Balthazar "Have a good night then" he nodded at him and then hurried after Isola.

[Isola]

"A liqour-store?"
She smiled softly at him and pointed in the direction to a liqour-store.
Suddenly Isola became very emotional on the inside, she looked down on the ground and then back at Alan again.
"I've really missed you, Alien. It's been so lonely and there has been no one to talk to.. I'm really glad you came to London."

[alan]

"Ooh, liqour-store eh? Classy" Alan chuckled a little. Isola caught him a bit unprepared with her sudden flash of emotions and he got flabbergasted "Um... you've really missed me that much?" he smiled at her and went on "That sounds very sweet you know... I've missed you to" He reached out and put a hand on her shoulder and smiled.

[Isola]

Isola punched Alan gently on his arm and hugged him right after.
She began to laugh and walked towards the store again, with a huge smile on her lips.
"You know, at stores the have whole bottles of yummyness." she added and smirked.
