Melting Snow // Coriolanus Snow

seventeen: Water fountain

After explaining the plan quickly to the crew, Sejanus had shyly told the crew that Alor, the same guy would come to get them again when it their turn to play.

But before he had a chance to left, Alara had shyly asked him to where the bathroom was, and he was kind enough to walk her and Inna there. He was a bit confused on why both the girls had to go together to the bathroom, but at the blank faces of them. He had given up and didn't ask.

Alara and Inna thanked him for showing the directions, telling him that they will find their way back to the room, and politely declining his offer of staying outside and waiting for them both.

Once Sejanus had walked away, Inna and Alara walked it, their eyes widened upon seeing the huge bathroom. It had at least 12 stalls on either side. Three huge chandeliers hanging in a row, giving the room a beautiful orange glow. The walls were painted a dark olive green and two couches were pushed in the corner of the wall, along with few love seat.

The sink were white marbled and the accessory on top was pure gold. shining and glowing. "Goodness" Inna muttered slowly, her eyes running around the room. Alara nodded in agreement, she couldn't wait to see how they had decorated the main ballroom for the theme.  "This is like a whole other world."  she chuckled, her eyes wide upon seeing the beautiful bathroom.

"And we somehow, weirdly enough fits" Inna mumbled, holding Alara arm and turning the girl around so they both can face the floor length mirror on the wall. They both look at each other, top to bottom, and then each other.

"Who is that?" Alara questioned, and Inna shrugged, her arm went to Alara's arm "Don't know." The girls stood in front of the mirror, looking at themselves for the longest time ever. Not believing their own eyes that the woman in the mirror were them. And not some other girls peaking into their lives through mirrors.

They moved back when another girl entered the bathroom, and smiled at them politely before she headed straight for the stall. Inna and Alara look at each other, and chuckled. Completely forgetting that Alara was here in first place to pee.

"I am going to" Alara said heading toward the stall, and Inna followed her too "Yeah me too, Being girl sucks", she said pointing subtly at her menstruation cycle but Alara only groaned out loud "lucky you. I am ovulating" she murmured softly.

Inna head whipped and she glared at the girl "And thats suppose to be bad?"

"Yeah?" Alara admitted, her hand at the handle of her stall, and Inna sighed her head and shrugged "I want to kill everything. and you want to fuck everything. Can't tell what's worst"

The girls both do their business in silence. Alara was the first one to walk out of the stall, and while she was washing her hands, Inna joined her too. As soon as the girls washed and dried their hands. They both fix their hairs, made sure that the eye makeup wasn't messed up and do a look over at their already perfect outfits; and stepped out of the bathroom.

It was kind of a backstage, a area hidden from the main ballroom. There were so many people, rushing around. Some with food trays, some with flowers, some had lavishing dress draped over their arms, some had bunch of makeup brushes and weird accessories.

It was hectic, and chaotic, but in a perfect way. In a way that alara didn't hated it but it seemed fun. Her and Inna tried their  best to not collide with anyone, and make their way back. They were almost back to their, a left turn down the alley and then the last room of the corridor was where they all were to stay.

But Alara eyes spotted a small drinking water fountain fitted in the wall and feeling a little thirsty, she stepped forward and took hold of Inna's arm. The other girl stopped and turned to look at her in question and Alara lift her hand and pointed at the drinking fountain "I am thirsty", that all what she said.
