You've reached the voicemail of Styxx Anaxkolasi. I'm not able to answer for the moment but leave a message and I'll get back to you when I'm able.

[phoenixstrut]

Your new best friends might be in that crowd. Besides, they're mostly all up at the stage, anyway. It's a big beach.

[despisesthegods]

Still too large of a crowd. It's not my scene.

[phoenixstrut]

.....I'll bat anyone who comes within 10 feet of you away with my wings. Promise.

[despisesthegods]

I don't think I need the Angel to go batting people away for me. Even less so if I just stay away from the situation to begin with.

[phoenixstrut]

You sure? I haven't hit anyone in a while. [Giggle.] You'd deny me that pleasure?

[despisesthegods]

It's not usually appropriate for a lady to hit someone unless they wholeheartedly deserve it.

[Then again, in his experience, it wasn't uncommon for them to attack those that didn't deserve it either. Go figure.]

[phoenixstrut]

I can be inappropriate at times. Shocker, I know.

[She pauses.]

What would it take to get you to come for just a little while?

...Other than clearing the beach entirely.

[despisesthegods]

I've told you, it's just not my type of situation.

[phoenixstrut]

[Crud, she's losing this one.]

....please?

[despisesthegods]

I appreciate the offer, Dove, but I really must decline.

[phoenixstrut]

[Well crap. .....she's not sure if her feelings are hurt or if she's just frustrated by something new. Guys never turned her down. Not with small things like this, at least...

Either way, she pauses a smidge too long.]

....

[But then he'll receive a selfie, with the most pitiful sandcastle he's likely ever seen taking up the majority of the shot, her sad sad eyes and the best pout she can muster without being too ridiculous in the corner, and a tiny caption that just reads "help."]

[despisesthegods]

[What she can't see is the fact that he actually smiles and laughs a bit at the selfie. She really was determined, wasn't she?]

That's playing dirty you know.

[phoenixstrut]

You forced my hand.

[despisesthegods]

[Dammit, why did she have to remind him so much of Bet.]

I'll think about it. But I'm promising nothing. I told you it's not my scene.

[phoenixstrut]

[Because they're 100% cut from the same cloth.

It's not a yes... but it's not a no! She's definitely biting back a huge smile, though...]

I'll try not to get my hopes up.....but my hopes are definitely up.

[She's definitely going to go ahead and brace herself for it, though. It's... pretty much exactly what he had said about Prom, too.

...but she definitely does send him one more selfie clip of her fondly rolling her eyes, just for good measure, but there is no mistaking that little grin at the corner of her lips.]
