Private Finished A few choice words

Electric blue eyes narrowed at him. Instead of continuing to get worked up, she stayed calm this time as fingers tapped on her upper arm. She wanted to push him more on how he felt about her but knew at this point it wouldn't get anywhere.

"There is no love without happiness. I'll give you that. But you can be happy without being in love."

She sighed and took a long sip of her drink before continuing.

"So what if I'm not in love with Pietro? I'm happy. That doesn't mean I won't grow to love him. So what if I'm using him as a substitute? I. Am. Happy."

She tapped the bartop with a single finger to emphasis the last three words.

"My happiness, and subsequently how I attain that happiness, is my business. What does it matter to you anyway?"

Altizica gave a wide smile, one that made him much more relieved. “There we go. That’s all I needed you to admit. No reason to lie to me Levina, no idea why you did in the first place. I’ve believe I’ve heard trying to learn to love someone is unhealthy but I don’t really know. I’ve never been in love so I can’t say shit.” Altizica chewed on another bone.

“Yea it’s you’re business you are right, but I am your friend and it’s my business to help look out for you and occasionally also butt into your business.”

Levina points a finger at him, eyes glowing and electricity dancing from her finger.

"Oh no. You don't get to act like that's what you wanted. You don't get to pretend you won. You wanted me to admit I was acting like I was with him. That is no act. We are together. He did win me over."

She closed her eyes and dropped the finger. When she opened them they were back to their usual look. The electricity stopped dancing from her hand as she grabbed her drink and downed it.

Looking up to the bartender, she smiled playfully at him as he was already making her another one. Someone was living up to expectations.

Altizica makes a very long groan and buries his face into his hands. “This is just like the Bastion all over again. You bust through the wall after a week of assault and every single time there is another wall. How does a planet even function with that many orbital barriers around it? The constant security checks should have also stopped any sort of imports or exports to a screeching halt yet it moved as normal I don’t understand.” Altizica appeared to be having a bit of a terrible flashback of a planet he sieged, now just literally murmuring to himself about the ridiculous security measures of that place.

Levina lets him go on his little tangent not understanding a thing he said. Once he was done she pursed her lips.

"You done? And I'm assuming that was an analogy for how stubborn I'm being. Yes, I am very stubborn. I still don't understand why it matters to you, especially if I'm happy."

She shook her head and smiled again to the bartender as her drink arrived. A single hand picked it up as she took as sip.

After three full minutes of Alt murmuring to himself he finally snapped out of it and lifted his head out of his hands. “I’m fine....it started as an analogy but then it just became some terrible flashbacks. It matters to me because I don’t understand why it’s so nessacary to lie to me about this and constantly keep doubling down on it. But fine, whatever, do what you want. I’m not your parent, I can’t control anything you do.”

Stefan · Jul 18, 2020

Levina angrily slams a hand on the bartop but doesn't send electricity through it this time.

"You're damn right you can't control what I do. I feel like you're my father trying to tell me who I can't be with because you don't think they are good enough. Or are insisting I have to feel certain ways because you can't understand how to just be happy."

She turns in the stool to fully face the bar. Her hands were clenched in fists and her voice whimpered as she spoke again, this time much lower.

"I just want to be happy...why won't anyone let me be happy..."

Altizica was dead quiet, they definitley didn’t understand how to handle of this kinda stuff. They definitely weren’t expecting Levina to unload all of that exposition onto him out of anger.

Altizica’s voice was one of genuine concern and very soft, they definitely seemed very unnerved to have upset her like this. “I didn’t.....I.....I am not trying to stop you from being happy. I never tried to push for that. I just........I.......I’m happy your happy, of course I am, I’m you’re friend......” Altizica couldn’t think of anything to say, he was never good at this supporting stuff

Levina continued looking at the bar. Her eyes in her lap had faded from their usual electric blue to almost a dull grey. His words, while she could hear the sincerity in them, fell on deaf ears.

"You should open with that next time...."

Her voice was still low and trembled. Her mind raced from person to person that she knew on the island and suddenly felt very alone. That feeling took over her and she wanted to be alone.

"I think you should leave now."

While still low, Levina's voice was steady and sure. She wanted to sit and think by herself for a bit.

Arcadia · Jul 18, 2020

Altizica didn’t hesitate once she stated that Alt should leave. “Just...call or text me some time......whenever you think it’s okay I guess.” Altizica got his phone and dialed it, all Levina would hear as Alt left was ‘Selkiris, I need to let off some steam’ before exiting the bar to presumably unleash literal hell in a match of some kind.
