Tatyana didn’t look up or react to the news that Hayden knew people who could help her figure out her magic. She just looked over at Ashton singing, considering. She joined as he sang ”Rocketman, burning out his fuse out here alone. And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time.” It was out of tune and the words were slurred. She certainly wasn’t on the level of Ashton, but she was beginning to calm again.
She lifted her head off the bar again and looked at her bottle. ”Can’t use it when I’m sober.” She reached out her hand, but used her magic to pull it towards her. The bottle had a couple of swallows left, so she finished it off and put the bottle back on the bar with a final clink. She looked at the empty bottle, a look of disappointment on her face. She still had her pills, but she didn’t think it’d be a good idea on top of all the alcohol even though she wanted to.
Tatyana remained silent, thinking. There was an offer in Hayden’s words. He knew people who could help her figure it out. Maybe they could help her access it at any time. It still didn’t make sense that they were helping her, but she couldn’t deny that they had. But asking about his offer or taking it would mean she’d have to trust someone else. Possibly more than one person. She didn’t know if she could do it.
”Do you now?” she said, her voice interested, even if she tried to disguise it by turning back to face Ashton again. Learning how to use it could help her fights so much. She didn’t know if Zeke would approve.
