AS THE NIGHT CONTINUED, everybody seemed to remain in high spirits. Food was eaten, drinks were passed around, any conversations to be had were lively. And everyone was extremely thankful. Because for the first time since they became stranded, the group didn't have their potential doom filled fate running around their minds.
Violet turned around, walking towards Lottie with the two drinks she had retrieved. She jokingly curtsied once she reached her, presenting the drink.
"Here you go ma'am." Violet grinned. "The finest cup of... what is this again?"
"So chivalrous, aren't you?" Lottie took the cup and chuckled. "And it's berries, Vi. Well, fermented berries."
"Sorry, what? Fermented berr—" Violet paused, her face contorting at the word. After a moment she let out a sigh. "Ah whatever. I'm past caring at this point."
The Crawford girl took a swig of her drink before turning her attention back to Lottie. Although when she took note of the slight scrunch in the girl's eyebrows as she looked down at her cup, as if she was deep in thought, Violet pursed her lips and placed her drink down at the side of her.
"Everything okay?" Violet checked.
Lottie hummed before smiling softly, although it didn't quite reach her eyes. "Yeah. Well... I just..."
Violet frowned and outstretched her hand, running it up and down soothingly against Lottie's arm. She tilted her head down slightly so she could catch Lottie's eyes.
"What's going on in that pretty mind of yours?" The Crawford girl asked gently. "Is it the bad feeling again?"
Lottie shook her head. And despite the thoughts circling around her brain at the current time, she couldn't help the warmth which clutched her heart at Violet's words.
