[Her eyes go a little wider, and she looks at the necklace again, closing her hand around it.] That's... perfect. Thank you. [She looks back to Adam, and then at the books she's prodding at.
Blue shrugs] Looking. Wondering. Running into old names. [She points at the spine of a book, then heads away from the section.]
[Adam lingers, and the same sensation Blue felt overcomes him when he reads the name. Neeve Sargent. She's still around out there, somewhere. In the ether, or just unseen, and it unnerves Adam just a bit. Quickly, he follows Blue, trying to get the feeling off of him.]
[Blue's over at the oils, looking for one she liked, but overwhelmed by too many sample containers having leaked because of uncaring or unsteady hands. It's peppermint-sandalwood-lavender-patchouli and it makes her head hurt.] What else do you need? [The question is directed at Adam, across the store, since they were the only two in there for customers.]
What is it you're doing? I might be able to help. [The shop owner chimes in, a warm smile at both of them as Blue comes back over to the counter.
She sets a bottle of oil and the pendant Adam picked out for her. She hadn't been planning on buying it, but she had enough saved that she could get it. It was kind of too perfect.] Crystal meditation, right? [She smiles at Adam, then looks back at Alaina] Calla told me to remind you of our discount.
[Alaina laughs, and nods] Of course she did. Tell her I said hello back.
Yeah. [He nods at Blue's question and waits politely for her to be rung up before Adam takes his own turn. With a small 'thank you', he turns and heads out of the shop, waiting on Blue.] That was...fragrant.
[She follows after, chattering quickly, politely, but shortly with the owner, not feeling like recounting the issues at Fox Way. She was a family acquaintance, not friend.
She heads to where Adam is, and smirks.] We're going to smell like that place for hours. I think she's lost her sense of smell, or she'd open a window. [Blue heads to the car and unlocks it] Get what you wanted?
[He looks in the bag, at the stones intermingled with pendants. The feeling's weaker now that he isn't absolutely surrounded by it, but the feeling of importance is still there. Later he'll have to ask Cabeswater why. He nods at her question, though, as he gets in the car with her.] Hungry?
[She nods herself, pulling on her seatbelt and rechecking mirrors before stashing her things in the foot well of the seat behind her.] I am. I think all they have here is Applebee's, though.
[She looks mildly abashed, but she's grinning] Must've. That was positively rude. [She backs out of the parking spot, then drives out onto the street.]
I think you'll be fine just as long as you don't start throwing out Gansey words. [He laughs a bit and looks around the area, trying to scan for anything that might sound good.]
I have to carry a dictionary around with me. Or maybe you should get me a word of the day calendar for my birthday. [Blue keeps an eye out too, and on her mirrors, and the speedometer, and everything else she panics about. Driving was too much responsibility for one person to have.] You seem calmer.
It's a long time until August. [Adam shrugs. He's not about to tell her about the fact that Kavinsky's given him pills. It's unlikely it'll end well.] I told you I just needed time.
No point in getting a new calendar in April. [She smiles a little, then nods.] I think we all needed time. Things seem to be getting better, though? [It's a question, posed to see if it's the same for Adam, or if he was just ignoring it better.]
Not fighting is good. I have to talk to K. We'll... see how that goes. [She waits at a red light, spotting what looked like a diner in a parking lot coming up.] Couldn't all stay weird with one another too long. Things to do.
Just don't immediately jump down his throat. It might not seem like it, but he's just as screwed up about this is the rest of us. [Adam laughs a quiet little thing and nods] I guess you're right.
