THE RELIEF OF RECEPTIVITY & A POLITE TONE strikes the joyful chords of her heart . gaze quickly travels to the still flickering light , in&out in moments . ( change the bulb , she notes mentally . ) despite the disturbances , the smile presented is mirrored upon her own chapped lips ; a brightness that could wage a war against the moonlit streets .
❝& I am sure you can ! it has a big board , neon lights & a vintage aura ‘round it . hard to miss but I was just offering you the COMPANY . on the off chance you wind up in the wrong place ,y’know ?❞ it’s a TEASING REMARK , almost mocking . she remembers being as CONFIDENT , a few years ago .
strained movements / wince - worn features . heavy breaths , borderline wheezing but to mark the end of the night , two heavy pots were kept inside . shutters pulled , lights switched off , door closed . ( MUSCLE MEMORY ! ) another jovial smile & a hand extended toward the stranger . ❝ I’m Josie . ❞
THE GOLDEN CREATURE PROMISES HERSELF TO SEND THE DETAILS TO HER WITCHY FRIEND , before she once again lets a bright beam consume her , the offer sparking a chord in the violin that is her beating heart .
ignoring the slight tinge of mockery ( A TASTE OF A FEISTY PERSONALITY THAT REMINDS HER OF HER OWN . ) ; “ sounds like a plan to me . my friend would appreciate me arriving to our destination in one piece . “
as the ebony haired beauty moves to lock up , nimble fingers reach into denim pocket &, get out her phone ( featherweight , black , newest model ) .
a quick text to bonnie tells that a hotel is found &. secured ; a slight exaggeration but something caroline knows will ring truth .
the witch had been busy with helping out a long last family member that needed her help , so she had sent the vampire out to find them a place to sleep .
phone back in pocket , hand clasping around hand ( two petite &. pale limbs fitting together like a glove ) , “ caroline forbes , it’s a pleasure to meet you . “
