While they were joking it would be so much easier if what they were saying wasn't true. If Charlie wasn't sweet and genuinely a good person. Sadie's eyes find her brothers in the other room, Charlie and Rhys caught up in their own little world as usual. It made her feel less bad stealing Odessa from the other for just a little while longer.

Sadie chews her lower lip at the final statement. "He doesn't have to know. You both seem pretty into each other. I can keep a secret," she shrugs, every part of this tearing her up a little more and more the more she thought about it. Before she swallows her feelings she just needs to say. "This timing really fucking sucks though. I was always hoping I'd see you again... maybe not like this."

it was more difficult than odessa continued to predict, but talking about being with someone else while staring into the eyes of the girl who'd never left her mind since that night sucked. she really liked charlie, she did, but there was an unspoken tether between the two girls that odessa felt deep inside and couldn't figure out how to sever it. but the girl doubted she'd do so even if she had the knowledge. "he seems alright enough," she joked lightly, "he's sweet and funny and loves his family. it's kind of amusing how much i adored hearing him talk about you all, how he talked so highly and fondly, how it felt like i practically knew all of you before i'd even met you today. i was really looking forward to it." she wasn't quite sure what she was looking forward to now, but she'd had one thing right prior to today. odessa knew sadie more than she could ever admit. "it feels like it'd tear him apart if he knew."

"First of all fuck you I have an audition next week." Olivia didn't need to know it was for a commercial for an allergy med... or birth control or something. Kenny had tried to pawn the the tickets off to her own brother, but Sebastian had always been a much better person than her. Just go talk to her. He said. Now, here she was talking, and she was pretty sure this moment here counted as torture. "Okay, and?" She huffs. "What else do you have going on today?"

it took every little bit of self restraint olly had to not laugh at kenny's statement. "transitional period? is that what they're calling unemployment now? daddy still not managed to bribe your way into a talent agency i guess?" her words were cruel, cutting, but she had no reason to try and be nice to kennedy anymore. eyebrow quirked up at the outstretched envelope, as she took it gingerly, eyes narrowing. "i've told you they sound shitty on purpose its the genr-" her words were cut off as she looked at the tickets. "are you kidding me, kenny? these are for today"

Farah grabs for TJ's hand and she softens in the way she always does in her presence. Leave it to TJ to not even be able to relax while on vacation. She pushes any thoughts about sticking out from her mind as they make their way towards the bar, finding a perfect spot in the corner. "That makes two of us," TJ confirms before flagging down the bartender to order their drinks. "You ladies new in town?" Could be a completely innocent question, but reflexively TJ's hand winds around Farah's waist. "Just passing through actually. Enjoying the wildlife," TJ grins before ordering herself a beer. She could play nice after all.

The most bizarre part was if he didn't know any better some of these photos were eerily mundane. A happy family with a smiling baby, and then his eyes would catch an alter in the background or the sight of those orange robes. Then suddenly all these captured smiles had an air of dread to them. He needs to pull his eyes away for a moment, and fixes upon Margot as she answers his question.

With every passing word that leaves her lips Gus is filled with more and more questions, but he doesn't dare interrupt her train of thought. Instead he intently listens to the memories she chooses to share.

He picks up the photos as they're passed to him, she was older in these. Adolescent age but the same bright eyes. Gus couldn't help but wonder but the world looked like to Margot at this age. Everything is scary enough when you're that young, he couldn't how her impressionable young mind handled her warped surroundings.

While there are a barrage of questions at the tip of his tongue, he's struck by her final statement. About not knowing who she was. "You still got plenty of time to figure it all out," he offers with a grin. "From an outsiders perspective, it seems like you have a pretty good start. You're here, able to talk through all this stuff with me, and the only way out is through, right?"

seeing where he stopped, where his hand drifted to once it feel from her own, margot had to release a deep breath and prepare herself to dive back in. there weren't really photos in her apartment for a reason — far too many held horrible memories within them, captured for eternity, that she constantly associated photographs with her time in the cult. instead she scattered eclectic prints from various artists wherever the apartment felt necessary for decoration. it was a little maximalist, but it made her feel happy. "i was born into it," her voice was steady as she began, eyes flicking up to meet his once more after picking out a few photos showcasing an infant, "i don't know if i mentioned that, but this was something that had been chosen for me." if she'd had the choice, they wouldn't be here. so the girl passed him the few in her hand after glancing at them, a bittersweet feeling captured within. "it's hard to separate feelings from when i was younger. i loved my parents," she still did, but it was hard to stomach, "they were adored on the commune, and i remember i was their pride and joy, put up on a pedestal by everyone while i was still theirs. i didn't know there's be a time when i wasn't. i wasn't aware there was an agreement in place from the day i was conceived that i didn't have a say in." picking up a few more photos, she continued storytelling as she passed them his way. "up until i, uh, went through puberty?" they called it bleeding, but it seemed crass and quite embarrassing to speak about to gus, so margot phrased it as mild as she could. "it was good. i had everything i wanted for that i was aware of, and my parents treated me well. but they're trained to let you go when you reach that age. when girls reach that age. they're conditioned to cut ties completely, and have treated me as just another member since then. not their daughter." they didn't use their parental sway until she managed to run away. then they wanted to claim her again, or so their letters say. "we belong to those people in the orange-ish robes after that. they cut your hair, they question you and 'educate' you on what it's like to be a woman in the cult, what roles we now play and how we are all an extension of the religion itself, and that we should be honoured to play such an important part that the high ones chose specifically for us. that we'd be punished in unspeakable ways if we didn't obey. if we didn't please them." "the other details are a bit more, uhm, crude, but i can talk about them if you'd like. but after that day, i wasn't my own person. i didn't quite know who i was until i got out, and even now, i'm still trying to figure that out."
