It was only fitting, Jane believed, that she would hold this party upon such an eventful day. Five years ago, she had arrived upon the island and her whole life had changed. She was no longer the young girl that she had once been and was no longer trapped in the confines of a time when her options were greatly limited. Though the date coincided, ( Read more... )

It had taken until now for Claire to truly realize how much she'd missed out on in the past couple of months. Friends that she had once spoken to on a daily basis, she now realized that she hadn't spoken to in weeks, between the anxiety she felt over Chris' condition, and the latter chaos that Rapture threw much of the island's population for. With a shallow breath, she smoothed down the dress she wore, belatedly cursing herself for choosing something pristine and white, and undoubtedly easy to dirty anywhere on the island. For the moment, however, she'd managed to avoid any spills and plucked nervously at her curls, trying to find everyone she knew to make her absence up to them.

"Belle!" she called out, spotting the first, her face breaking out into a smile. "Oh god, you look... so gorgeous, wow."

"I'm holding my own in a field full of gorgeous people," she replied, instantly reaching her arms out to pull Claire into a warm, friendly embrace. "Including you! Your hair is so beautiful," she said with great admiration, looking over how it glowed in the light. "I wish mine was as golden as yours is."

"Nuh-uh, no way," Claire laughed, shaking her head as she leaned into the embrace, still feeling that she could always see the magic that there was in Belle, the beauty and the kindness that had made her such a beloved character to little girls all around the world. "Seriously, blonde is just... blonde, but your hair is gorgeous, like chocolate, and it goes so well with your complexion. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate being blonde, but I think here the difference is between 'cute' and 'beautiful,' and you're definitely the latter."

"I think that all that matters is feeling good about it. I think I'm happy where I am. I love my boyfriend, and I love my friends. You've been seeing someone, too, haven't you?" Belle said, narrowing her eyes as she tried to recall his name. "I saw him at that party, that rave one."

This time, the giggle lacked as much force, although Claire stlil felt the same beat of butterfly wings and bubbles against her stomach, fluttering against her ribcage. In truth, sometimes it felt like whatever she had with Chris was even less clear than before, sentiment and fact muddling together in one indistinguishable corner of her mind. "Kind of seeing someone, yeah. I mean, I don't know if we're official or anything, but we seem to be exclusive, at least, so... it's like we've gone about it all backwards," Claire grinned a touch. "His name's Chris, and I'm pretty sure he's always around when there's a party. Either way, or the parties follow him. I haven't figured out which, yet."

"So long as everyone enjoys themselves at the party, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing," Belle said, with an encouraging smile on her lips. Simply because she wasn't the type to always want to be at one, she did love a good time. "And," she said, "And this is far more serious. So long as you're happy."

All it took was one look at Belle's welcoming smile, warm and understanding, for Claire to feel assured once more of the fact that she couldn't let Belle know about everything which had taken place between herself and Chris. She couldn't let Belle know that Chris had died, that he still stood a choice of hemorrhaging at any point in time, because there wasn't anything to be added by another person carrying all of that weight on his or her chest. Shaking her head, Claire managed a faint grin.

"I'm as happy as I can be," Claire managed to answer, not wanting to lie or bend the truth. "It's hard not to be when, at least, I get to see a lot of my friends here and having a great time."
