Bronzing.
[ for dropping_anvils ]
Dingoes didn't have a gig that night. We didn't even have a practice. Still, I didn't feel like sitting around at home. I'd spent the last three nights on the run and wearing a rather snug fur coat. I wanted to be around people again. I wanted to feel human again... it almost felt necessary, like I had to prove to myself that being fanged and furry was only temporary somehow.
Normally, I wouldn't spend that much time with Devon outside of gigs and practices, but he'd talked me into going to the Bronze. I wasn't exactly hard to persuade, in all honesty. Of course, when he asked me to go to the Bronze with him, he meant for me to sit around and watch him hit on girls in halter tops all night. Turns out that was exactly what I did. Devon hadn't said much to me since we arrived, but that was alright. I needed the time to think, even in a crowded place like the Bronze. I was happier sitting and thinking there than I would have been at home. Sitting by myself at one of the more obscure tables, I slowly drank the cappuccino I'd treated myself to as I watched the local teenage crowd dance to the recorded music that was pouring out of the speakers mounted on the walls.
Any other night, I'd have been happier. I'd have talked to people, maybe even smiled.
Tonight, I just had way too much on my mind.
