can't take it back

Wake me up, I've been asleep for too long
Caught in a dream, time goes on and on

Soh was on the fence, you see. There was an intimacy that she craved, but seeing as she had no relationship anymore, there was no one to share it with. Still, she'd never been much of a brothel kind of girl - so she clung to the shadows, nursing a fruity drink that she knew would be dangerous since she couldn't taste the alcohol, mentally cataloguing the people in the room she found attractive - and hating herself for it. What kind of person was she, to be sitting here in the dim light, judging people based on their looks?

She was too much of a romantic, and that was the damn problem. She downed the rest of her drink in a rush and signaled for another.

A familiar voice made her jump, and she peered at Ellyra through hazy eyes. "Oh, hey 'Llyra," she murmured, accepting her next drink from one of the workers with a word of thanks. "I'm getting drunk," she announced next, offering her friend a wobbly grin and a raised glass for a toast. "What're you doing?"

Maybe I shouldn't be speaking too soon
Maybe I shouldn't believe in you
