[atrb=style, opacity: 0.8; margin-bottom: -10px;] Damien felt himself getting dragged closer and closer to the Tulipa Lake. He had his covered with a basket that held sandwiches, small covered cups of juice along with silverware and napkins inside. On his right side he was holding onto a blanket and a pillow for him to lie on. By the way it seems, it looks like Damien had decided to go on a picnic on his day off work. Is Damien expecting to meet someone? Nah he is going by himself even though this place is known to have picnics for couples or young people like himself with a companion to hang out with but Damien decided it would be nice to have a picnic on his own. After all as a waiter he has to deal with costumers with many different personalities; some would yell, call him cute or short and then there are others that just want to strangle them. It’s best to take a long hour break doing nothing but eating sandwiches and sleeping on the nice shore to take his mind off of his work for a change. As the blonde continued getting closer to the lake, his heart started pounding faster and faster until he had started running. He ran as fast as he could until he had finally made it to his destination. There he was dropping his belongings as he stretched out his arms to feel the nice cool breeze smash into his body. He took a deep breath to let it all in before opening his mouth to let out a long deep sigh. Damien soon turned around, grabbing onto the two ends of his blanket that was sitting by his basket. He stretched it out evenly on the grass then quickly moved over to place his basket on top of his blanket. Right after Damien had jumped onto his blanket, landing head first on his pillow like a little kid. He flopped over stretching out his legs and arms once again before he had decided to take off his sandals and had begun happily eating the sandwiches that he had made for this little event. While the male was dissolving the sandwiches into his mouth, he couldn’t help but stare at the beautiful lake that lied before him. He rarely comes to this place maybe once in a while when he is stressed out or just wants to get away from people in general. It’s pretty peaceful here so he believes although citizens like to have picnics around this area, it’s not always packed and they’re hardly noticeable most likely because there occupied with either their boyfriend or eating in general so this place is just right for him. After finishes two sandwiches the male had decided to lie on his pillow once more. He covered his mouth as he let out a sleepy yawn then soon had flopped over towards his left side. Food usually makes him sleepy at times and he has been working pretty hard lately because of work so it might be best for him to just rest for a bit. Soon enough Damien found himself falling asleep on his picnic layout. Hopefully no one will wake him up or steal his sandwiches. made by prism of btn and ls~

[MALKA S.]

today was a good day for fishing, malka thought. not so much for actually catching fish, but just sitting on the dock with her line in the water was enough for a nice time, as long as it was quiet. malka didn't feel comfortable coming out to tulipa lake very often; it was a fairly popular spot on any normal day, but with so many people gathering in town for the harvest festival, things here had settled down to some degree. the place wasn't entirely deserted, and a small sampling of people did still gather here quite some ways away, going about their business while she went about hers.

things stayed still like this for some time until a familiar sensation shivered down her spine; someone was here. this wasn't surprising on its own, but this particular person was approaching rather quickly. she didn't have reason to be afraid, but still tucked her limbs a bit closer to her body, making herself small behind one of the many posts that fenced the wooden expanse on which she sat.

and so she remained for at least a minute, letting things settle down, before finally turning to survey the area. it didn't take long at all to spot the new arrival; roughly ten yards away, someone was quite enthusiastically setting up what seemed to be a picnic spot. she still hadn't completely recovered from being startled, but most of the nervousness she had felt was already transforming into interest instead. this person hardly had an imposing presence: a boy, probably only a few years older than her, if she had to guess, and in the moment, he was exuding incredible positivity. out of curiosity, she set her rod down where she sat and scooted just a few feet closer.

just this was fine, she thought. she went back to fishing while he began to enjoy his food, passing several minutes like this, but eventually when she looked up again, he seemed to be asleep. she almost laughed: wasn't it weird how he chose to rest here of all places? and didn't he realize bugs were going to crawl all over him? it was okay, he had just made it a little bit easier for her to introduce herself. she climbed to her feet, hesitating for just a moment before scrambling as quietly as possible to the side of the blanket opposite him.

she knew better than to take any of the food; it was true that she was hungry, but malka wasn't a thief. she did, however, reach out to close the picnic basket, at least wanting to do that much to keep the bugs away. the snap of the lid as it closed turned out to be a bit louder than she had anticipated, and she flinched. hopefully it wouldn't be enough to wake him.
