afraid_of_marshmallows: Nathalie Emmanuel (Surprised - Staring Middle Distance)
After, oh everything that happened at the junkyard today and her conversation with Kamala, Arden was ready to just get into her room, take a shower, and faceplant into bed with the blankets up over her head. Possibly stay there until Monday. That seemed like a brilliant plan, actually.

One thing she hadn't planned to do was trip over a box in silver and white paper with a giant bow on it. With a feeling of dread, Arden reached for the attached card. Congratulations to the Happy Couple - DW

She just stared at the card. For a long time. And then, mostly because she couldn't help herself, she unwrapped the box to find...fancy toaster. In other situations, she might have freaked out over this, the potentiality of a debt, any number of things. Not tonight. Nope, she was just going to open her door, put the box on her desk, and flop on the bed. Fuck the shower.

Yup. Not moving until Monday.

So, Arden would have to say that her first adult party had been a success, if you were defining success by 'having fun' and 'not being utterly miserable the next day,' which she absolutely was. She'd had a good day of classes and now she was putting the last finishing touches on getting ready for...dinner.

Not a dinner date, obviously. This was just a friendly dinner between friends! She and Cal had a - now weekly - bet that the loser of Paintball would pay for dinner for the winner! You know! Like friends did! Probably all the time!

And the fact that she had chosen Cafe Fina for their first dinner meant nothing besides that she was curious about the restaurant! And, it was a nice place, so obviously she had to dress up. That wasn't indicative of it being a date, just respecting dress codes!

But now, feeling pretty appropriately dressed, Arden exited her room and headed to Cal's, knocking on the door. "Let's go Kestis," she called through the door. "No dawdling, now. Time to pay up!"

[For the friend-type person and absolutely no shenanigans]
