time : 11:23am, saturday. location : marché provençal ! status : currently uncapped.
jisu breezes through the open market, chloé raffia tote on her shoulder and small shopping basket in her hand as she picks up almost everything her hands land on. fruit, veggies, a small bouquet of flowers and a baguette rest in the basket as she shops, not looking for anything in particular. a smile stretches on her lips when she spots a familiar face, instantly reaching out to them with a small sampling of cubed havarti cheese in a small cup. " you're not lactose intolerant, are you ? " she asks, brown eyes rounding like a curious child. " you have to try this ! "

still, after a few months on the island, jisu has yet to find her footing. the island's so large it's almost overwhelming, sometimes getting lost when all she wants is a damn bagel. maybe it explains why she's awake this early, on the hunt for the café that she just can't remember in her muddled brain. " oh ! " jisu is surprised when her body collides with another, disappointed to see the coffee go to waste, and to hear their words. " you barely gave me the chance— " jisu crouches to pick up the cup, tossing it away into a nearby trash can before returning to her full height. " i get you're pissed about your coffee, but your words aren't necessary. "
when: early morning ! location: le jardin café . open to: anyone , uncapped .

❛ man … learn how to say excuse me ! ❜ alexis sucks her teeth , eyes falling onto their now ruined tank top and the spilled iced macchiato at their feet . ❛ stupid privileged people and their disregard for literally everyone around them . ❜ she shakes her head and checks the time , calculating how late she'll be to work if she orders another drink before going to change . it takes lexi all of a second to decide coffee is more important than punctuality before they're heading back into the cafe , mild anger already forgotten .

during his tenure in the air force, there was a few days where the hours seemed to tick by at a snail's pace, which often meant finding ways to pass the time. most of those hours were passed with random games of flag football, basketball, and in some cases a makeshift game of tennis where the court was whatever surface was big enough to play on. a laugh rumbles deep in his chest, resting his racket lay on his shoulder before leTting the racket tap the toe of his shoe. " a headstart ? seems like you've been letting that go on for a while, don't you think ? " saint's words to rocco aren't malicious, purely playful as each word is laced with a quiet laugh. " i mean, hey— don't let the moment fool you. i'm always cocky. " saint sends a wink in rocco's direction, shaking his head. " score the next point and you've got a round of shots on me. "
tennis, if he’s honest, has always ranked low on rocco’s list. too clean. too polite. too many rules about what not to do and when not to grunt. he likes his sports loud, fast, chaotic … where you can crash into things and walk away with a scar and a story. but today ? he’s feeling generous. or maybe just bored enough to entertain the illusion of trying something not-new with someone who actually makes it worth the sunburn.
rocco lets the racquet hang loose in his grip, one brow arching as he lazily tracks the ball's betrayal, bouncing smugly out of reach. he squints toward the other man with a crooked grin, sweat glinting along his jaw, a few strands of hair stuck to his temple. “ relax, federer. i’m just giving you a head start. gotta make it look like a challenge or you’ll cry when i smoke you six-two. ” he tosses the ball up, catching it with an easy snap. “ but hey, enjoy the moment. sun’s shining, your ego’s up, i’d be cocky too. ”

the games played have been lighthearted with nothing to show proof of a win other than bragging rights. " dramatic comeback, huh ? " saint's brow quirks as they return to their spot on the court, rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet to be ready for jack's next serve. " you've got a lot of points to recover, " a little trash talk never hurt, even in a friendly game of tennis. " show me what you got ! "
rocking on the balls of his feet, zack is anything but defeated if the smile on his face is anything to go by. lost the first round, yes, on the losing end (yet again) in this round, yes… but that’s not enough reason to give up. he sucks in a breath, brows furrowed. “well, let’s say i’m banking on a dramatic comeback…” surely that’s nothing in the face of his rusty tennis skills and a whole lot of misplaced confidence? “get ready to go down!” his grin doesn’t falter as he points at saint with the racquet in hand.

saint straightens their posture after thinking the ball would be returned, pumping their fist jokingly. he closes his eyes and turns his head dramatically at the look samuel gives him, shaking his head. " don't give me that look ! " they close the distance between the net and their person, setting his hands on top of the net. " never assume that a ball's out, especially in tennis. " saint scolds playfully, brow arching a bit, " he steps back, demonstrating a right handed forehand. " and follow through. " saint lowers the racket as he nods in agreement. " alright, alright— i'll go easy on you next time. c'mon, give me your best serve ! "
he's competitive, is the thing, but tennis has never been one of his strongest sports. sam watches the ball fall inside the perimeter of the white line and lets out a groan, shooting saint a withering look to drive his frustration home. “sue me,” he drawls, but there’s no real malice to it. “i miscalculated. thought the ball was out on that one. maybe go easy on me this next game, yeah?” never mind that he’s the professional athlete.

" oh, you're just pacin' yourself, huh ? " saint can't help teasing, returning to his full height as he wipes sweat from his brow. the weather is nice, blanketing their playful game of singles in a bit of mediterranean heat, but nothing they're not used to. saint scuffs the toe of their sneaker against the court, stepping back to the baseline to prepare for his next serve. " get ready to put your money where your mouth is, " saint bounces the ball twice before an idea sparks, and a grin spreads on their face. " how about this ? next point wins the game, and the loser has to buy the winner any drink they want ? sounds like a fair wager, don't you think ? "
𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊, ronan lets the sun warm his face for a second longer than necessary. his eyes squint against the glare, as a breath of laughter escapes. “i’m pacing myself. thought i’d let you feel good about yourself for a bit.” the grin he throws across the net is easy & carelessly bright — all teeth, all sunlight, like the score doesn’t even register. he spins the racket once in his hand, almost like he's bored, before stepping into position with a slow confidence that only belongs to someone who has never really been afraid of losing. yet ronan is too easy going about it all, like he’s got oceans of time to waste. “don’t get too comfortable yet,” he says, voice light. “that’s when it gets embarrassing.”

a smile pulls at the corner of saint's mouth at lana's words and the sudden curtsy that she dips into. " c'mon, we can take a break. " his hand swipes over his brow as he tosses the tennis ball in his hand into the nearby basket, noticing her deep breaths. " how long has it been since you played ? i've come to learn that the guests around here love passing the time with a game or two. " he reaches into the cooler, pulling out two chilled bottles of water, passing one to lana.
''well don't mind me, i was just trying to be chivalrous.'' she bobs a curtsy as if to punctuate the statement, more out of breath than she'd like to admit, propping a single hand upon her hip. accustomed to an amalgamation of adrenaline and sheer pride, lalana nevertheless smiles, her steady hands smoothing down the growing creases on her pleated tennis skirt. ''i actually haven't played in ages, but i'll dutifully accept my defeat.''

julia squints, partially blaming it on the morning sun. " i don't know if i should laugh or cringe until i disappear. " her head shakes, settling her hand on her hip. " c'mon, take the shot and i'll be the judge of that. "
❚❙ 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 : JULIA, @sknydips ❚❙ 𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 : the links, 09:38 AM
“ if i miss this shot, it's because the view's too distracting — not because i'm off my game. ” he winks, flashing a mischievous smile at his view.

julia's brow quirks, chuckling softly as she gently shakes her head. " i'm more of a mint girl if i say so myself. " she sends a wink over in the younger woman's direction and settles the books in her arms. julia reaches over to give chanel's arm a gentle rub as she thanks her, which julia waves off with her soft touch. " it's no worries, promise. " no matter julia's difference from someone else, especially in the context of wealth and fame, she would never act as if she were better than someone else. it's always better to just be kind. " oh, well that's fair ! i have a bit of a problem myself when it comes to purchasing totes— it's like i can't help myself. " julia laughs softly, adjusting the books in her arms so she doesn't drop them. " i parked my golf cart nearby if you'd like a ride ? it's got a little basket so our arms don't fall off. "
" my god, i'm so not a thief. unless you count stealing gum from the convenience store, but i think i was helping them really ! it was already expired, and i know rich people love their food and processed gum fresh ... right ? " she's grateful to have the load off, sounding out repeated thank you's in between readjusting her own stack. julia is too nice, especially for being some esteemed socialite. chanel likes to think they'd be friends in another life, maybe if her dad had been better at hiding his fraudulent business practices. " they are super adorable. but i have about seven of them at home, and i think my roommate might kill me in my sleep if i bring back another one. " chanel wasn't really a tote girl, as much as she'd probably be perceived as one. all of them managed to get stuffed between the shelving in her room, taking up more space than really needed.

" oh, i mean you never know. just look at the material— " saint pauses to blow on their marshmallow which has caught fire, but gives a perfect char to the sweet confection. " you've got something made up entirely of sugar, from the cookie to the chocolate. can't be all that surprised when someone's bouncin' off the walls. " saint carefully layers his s'more, chocolate on the bottom and marshmallow on top ( the correct way, in their opinion ), gently pressing it all together. " and unfortunately for you, peach— that ain't never gonna happen. "
she paused , brow furrowed in amused skepticism when she looked over at him . ❝ so , you're saying that the average person gets a sugar high — like a toddler — after a single s'more ? ❞ an incredulous laugh escaped her , the sticky marshmallow forgotten in light of her amusement . ❝ saint , please tell me that happens to you . i would pay good money to see that firsthand . ❞

curiosity killed the cat, or however the saying goes, when julia sees chanel up to her neck in paperback texts. " well, hey ! i'm not judging, even if you didn't pay for them. " julia can't help the soft laugh that spills from her as she watches the young woman struggle. not that it's particularly funny, though. " do you need help ? seriously, hand some of them over. " she doesn't wait for an answer, taking a few of the books from chanel's arms to bear some of the weight. " how come you didn't grab a bag, chanel ? côte & co. has some of the cutest tote bags ! "
for : anyone ! currently : uncapped.
📍 outside of côte & co. bookshop, mid afternoon.
" it's not what it looks like, really ! " of course, it's a sight to see nevertheless. chanel hunched over, a mountain of paperbacks up to her neck in hand with no bag as proof of purchase. it's about saving the environment though ! her hands and arms work just as well as some flimsy bag could. " i paid for all of these ... with my hard earned money. " and the generosity of a guest who'd handed a wad of euros over and told her a day prior : treat yourself to something pretty, chanel ! jokes on him though, no way he'd think she was blowing this play money on raunchy romance books with shirtless men on the cover. the same embarrassing covers that threatened to spill out of her hands with each passing moment. " you wouldn't ... um, be able to give me hand would you ? they really rushed me out of there. "

the sudden movement is unexpected— not necessarily startling or entirely shocking, but still unexpected nonetheless. her hand easily falls back to her side as she settles in after the question leaves her lips, and she takes romeo's silence as an answer. the car ride is quiet, silent is perhaps a better word to use, aside from the crunch of pavement beneath the tires and the gentle tap of julia's nails against her phone screen. she does nothing of importance, responding to her family's never ending group chat.
she takes in a small breath, lower lip pulled between her teeth for a fraction of a second. it's been a long day, but that doesn't mean she has to drink alone, right ? julia lifts her gaze from her phone, gently brushing a loose tendril of hair behind her ear. " would you be open to joining me ? " julia asks gently, brow raising as her head tilts a little bit. " no pressure, but le vigne has some of the best wine i've ever had. "
an instinct is as loud as thunder is to lightning , and when julia's hand raises to gently graze the door's frame , so close to the hand that holds it open , romeo's instinctive flinch is deafening . he recoils , stepping aside for her to claim comfort in the backseat , her disappearing act resolved with the click of a closing door . this barrier is used for romeo to recover his composure , something he feels as though is walking a tightrope as he rounds the car & sits rigid in the driver's seat .
he doesn't hesitate to release the brake & let four wheels edge across cement , a cursory glance in the rearview meant as a precaution while he merges , but against his better judgement , it lingers on julia . somehow captivated by a dignity that's unabashed , unlike his , which remains sheltered behind barbed wire & regret . as if he's forever warring with what he is versus what opportunity could make him out to be .
his grip whitens around the steering wheel , blinking until his focus is on the road & what lies ahead . counting down the minutes it takes to reach the winery — alcohol sounding too sweet of a bandaid to cover the wound he feels he's opened .
