Ofelia actually...cackled. There was no laughter, no giggle, just a harsh and throaty cackle. "He'll skate through this life without bein' touched by no one, blessed by all, defended an' loved by all. His happiness will be there, but not ours."
Oh no, not Rep or anyone else of that like. This place seemed to grow people who defended such creatures, where perhaps the club valued those who wouldn't hesitate to shed the blood of their companions. That made Ofie sick, but the thought moved on.
"Ah...dun like talkin' ta people much anymore on account'a most end up thinkin' Ah'm crazy or a liar. What side'a that boat are ya gonna be on?" The same bitter tone, the same sad face with a forced grin. She shook her head though and it all quickly vanished, replaced by her usual dopey expression. "But oki, Ah'll stop teasin' ya 'bout yer Molly 'til ya actually have sommin' goin' down? If she dun fall in love wit'cha then she's blind an' stupid."
Maybe she should talk bad about Molly, but there wasn't any harshness in the teen's words on that. In fact to show she was still just teasing she wink-blinked, both of her eyes twitching at opposite times. Oops, that looked creepy.
"Ah did hear 'bout some weddin' stuff, like Cass an' Marcus, Ah think? Who else ping'd the knot?"

Bix was almost taken aback by Ofie's innate bitterness. It was a pretty hopeless outlook. He liked to think that things were better than that. "I guess that's a pretty bleak perspective." Bix frowned and looked down at his boots. "Why would people think you are crazy? Not here anyway. We're all crazy here, remember? And I never call anyone a liar until they actually lie to me." He shrugged. "Don't just assume everyone is like that. You never open up and give anyone a chance and you'll just live like that forever." Bix laughed when she talked about Molly being blind and stupid. "That's not nice. We'll see. Take it slow and feel it out." He and Molly hung out all the time so he would just have to try and pace himself with it. "Yeah Cass and Marcus didn't tie the knot yet but I think Robert and Petra did. Word drifts around." Bix nodded. "Actually I'm a groomsman for Marcus."

"Bleak, but doesn' mean it's really gonna come true, if yer right. Ah'd...like ta take a chance an' believe in ya, iffin' ya dun mind." Ofelia rubbed the back of her neck, a bit sheepish all of a sudden. She was making Bix look like he was uncomfortable and she had sworn earlier to never do that again. "Also, ferget me sayin' people call me a liar. It won' do ya no good ta know 'bout me." The subject dropped there ands he looked away.
When Bix chided her about Molly she chuckled a little. "Pushin' never hurts though, jus' a heads up." Ofelia knew jack s**t about relationships, she needed to keep her mouth shut. "An' that's awesome ta hear 'bout them."
She...blushed a bit at what she admitted next. "Promise not ta tell no one? When Ah was little, Ah wanted ta grow up an' be a bride." She smiled a soft, shy smile. "Ah...still kinda wanna be one, but the older Ah get the harder that dream shows ta not be comin' true."

Bix laughed a bit but it wasn't because of her admittance. "I thought all little girls wanted to be brides!" Certainly, she didn't seem the type. "I won't tell though. My mom always taught me to be a gentleman and I think coming along with that is eventually being some sort of husband and father." Bix scratched his head a bit. "See I always had low goals for myself in terms of life. I figured I'd graduate college get some sort of desk job, have an apartment and a dog until I met a girl and then get married and have kids and do all that stuff." Granted when he did go to school and did work he'd always tried to do his best, with an unusually high expectation for himself, but in the long run he'd never wanted to be anything spectacular. "Guess now all I can shoot for is.. not dying long enough to get a decent pay grade."

"All lil' girls, sure, but mos' jus' out grow it. Ah didn' have much'a dream'a anythin', Ah jus' want ta be a bride. Some luck Ah got here now, dyin' on this island alone." She proeprly sat herself down, stretching out her legs. Her flip flops were kicked off and she flexed her toes, the joints cracking from the movement.
"Funny thing is Ah'd still like ta get married, even if Ah can' have a kid or anythin'. Jus' havin' a husband who loves me is 'nough, but lookin' at the people on this island Ah'mma be forever alone."
Man, that was sad to admit.

"Well if recent events are anything, you could still be a bride. Just need to meet that special hunter hubby." He nudged her and grinned, wincing from what may have been a bruise forming on his stomach from her beastly punches.
"And you don't need a husband either. You don't have to be alone just cause you don't have a spouse of some kind." Bix, once more found Ofie to be very negative. He just couldn't help but be worried about her. He considered her to be a good friend and he felt even worse not knowing exactly what to say to change her mind a little bit.
His weapon nudged him, perhaps he didn't have to fix her... it wasn't his responsibility.

"Ahaha, if ya happen ta find any free men lemme know, Ah'll give it a shot." Ofelia chuckled and grinned, winking at Bix. Well, blink-wink. "Ah mean, Ah'm an excellant cook so Ah can win a person through their stomach, right?" She chuckled again and sprawled out on her stomach now, letting the warmth of the sun cover her back. Unlike the front of her torso her back was oddly scar-free, save for a few bites of childhood play.
"But yanno? Ah think Ah can be happy here wit'out a husband like ya said, jus' gotta find a happy medium? Ah like spendin' time wit' people like this, Ah wonder if Ah can make a livin' this way."

"I will point every single man your way." Bix of course considered himself single but... Molly was fresh in his mind. He almost felt guilty for that. Enough time single and enough doubt had him questioning all of his feelings lately. About himself and his future mostly.
"As far as making money goes.." Bix laughed and finally let his arms give way and flatted out on the grass. The stretch of his abdomen made him groan. "Jesus you can punch Ofie.." a laugh, "But anyway, as far as money guys we ARE getting paid to do this.. right now."
THUMBS UP!

Ofelia's brow creased and she moved over on her stomach towards Bix, pulling his shirt up without even asking. A bruise was forming, or so she assumed, and the teen poked at his gut. Screw him if he wanted her to stop, she was curious and this was sort of a teasing play. "As if ya even know mah tastes, Mr. Send-em'." She giggled and poked one last time before laying back on the grass. Her jacket needed this smell, the smell of nature and of sweat. "Also, Ah dun hit hard - ya jus' need ta toughen yer gut."
Smelling too much like clean was sad. "Yanno, Ah never thought 'bout money. Ah wonder how much Ah got in mah account? How do we check?"

"Your tastes? Isn't like.. male.. athletic.. umm, has a face? Thats pretty much it right? Hey wha.. OW OW WHY OW WHY.." Bix squirmed, trying to move away but she just kept poking. Even if he wasn't bruised before, he was now. "OW OW NOT COOL.."
Bix curled away a bit, holding his belly. "Yah go on and keep on establishing how much tougher you are then me..." He whined. not very manly at all.
"Umm.. I dunno ask around? I just got it one day. They gave them out to us? I'm sure theres some kind of office in charge of that. If you haven't spent any of it then you probably have a nice chunk. You should go shopping!"

" . . .can ya honestly see me goin' shoppin'? Who would Ah go wit'? Ah got no girlfriends here ta hang wit' an' Ah'm a bit too nervous ta try an' ask people anyway. The only one who's invited me is Clover, an' that's cause he feels bad 'bout mah birthday." Bix's whining prompted Ofelia stand up and then move to stand over him, her body casting a shadow on him.
A wicked grin spread over her face. "Are ya so hurt mah lady that Ah need ta carry ya inside where we can dine on snacks an' ya can heal? Izzat it?" Ofelia wasn't sure how much Bix weighed but she was certain she could lift him.
. . . .maybe.

"Clover?" Bix wondered who this mysterious male Clover was. "When was your birthday?" Just curious really.
His eyes widened when the sun was blocked out, adjusting for the lack of glare. "What? No I am fine. None of that. The other day some girl said she thought I was gay... I will.." He pushed himself up, winced, and then finally stood. "No carrying me." He looked cranky now.

Ofelia crossed her arms and looked at Bix, unconvinced. "Yanno, Ah dun judge, but Ah'm sure if Ah had ta Ah could take ya in'a fight right now." She looked peeved, but then her expression softened to something maybe akin to worry. "But since Ah respect ya well 'nough, how 'bout jus' leanin' on me if ya feel the need or want? That way looks a bit manlier, yeah?"

Bix, on his feet, did seem to be able to stay upright. It actually hurt less if he stayed upright. "I think I'm good. Thanks though.." He began to walk for the buildings.
"You didn't answer the birthday and Clover question though.." No she didn't escape telling him her birthday.

"Mah birthday was a couple'a weeks ago, an' Clover is. . .ah, um, Before. He said he name is Before." Ofelia watched as Bix shuffled, shaking her head.
"Are ya too many ta eat some cookies after this?"
