Amara

Amara's head snapped towards Valentin's direction, almost startling her as she had been looking around the large room in front of them. She had not expected him to be so...eagerly loud about it.  "I don't think getting lost should be on our agenda. But I agree, it'll help us find the room faster."  Not wanting to be on a bad standing with their employer, if they were late. They were already struggling enough to find him. How much worse could this get? But she did not wish to find out. The sooner they'd find it, the better for everyone that was involved.

They could only hope, that room A3B was somewhere close by. How complicated could the room system get? Listening to his solution, Amara thought it through for a few moments. Logically it made sense. They'd be able to find it quicker, if one of them was on one side of the hallway.  "Sounds good to me."  She spoke with an encouraging smile. It was better than nothing. Looking over the letter once more, Amara felt paranoid, that she might have missed something of importance. But alas, the letter held no clues as to which way they should be going. Sighing, softly.  "Let's hope, we'll have some luck."  She mused, lips pursed in thought for a mere few moments.

The sound of the loud bang, was loud enough to wake the dead. The different voices echoing around them. It certainly wasn't hard to miss many of the conversations around them. But Amara did not want to eavesdrop. A few times, she had tried to get someone's attention; to ask for directions. But they did not stop, did not look their way. It was like they did not exist. Her face sharing the same helpless expression as her male companion had plastered across his face.  "We might as well be invisible."  she said with a deep sigh. Never had she met so many rude people in one place. Would their employer be as bad? Or worse? Amara was a little worried at that thought. Once their way was free, they each took a side of the corridor. Amara stuck to the right of it. And thus began their search. Looking at the numbers on each door, so far she wasn't having any luck. C1, C2, C3, C4, C5. It seemed like part of her corridor was the c section. But the corridor ahead of them was long, so she could only hope that soon enough, it'd get to either B or A's. Not sure in what weird order the room numbers were organised in.

 "Anything on your side?"  She asked Valentin after a few moments, hoping he was having some sort of luck. Looking over at him, a hopeful expression on her face.

It didn't surprise Val, when she came to the bar to find Jimmy and Leigh playfully faffing around and mocking a Hollywood accent. It brought a brief smile to her face. Everyone was curious how Raymond would look like, act like, be like; after all these years apart. As Jimmy opened his arms, she leaned over the bar hugging him.  "And here I was going to give you a point for not burning the food." she joked, smiling as he promised that her burger was going to be nice and clean. Taking a seat at one of the stools. As Jimmy confirmed that they have started drinking already; she pretended to gasp offended.  "Drinking without me? How rude of you."  Playfully joking of course. It was Leigh and Jimmy. She shouldn't have expected them to wait. Ordering a glass of rum and coke, Val was tempted to down the first glass. In hopes of soothing her nerves.
 "In my defence, Leigh didn't tell me what you were planning till a few hours ago."  She sighed softly.

"I wasn't sure you'd come, if I told you straight out what Jimmy was doing." Leigh retorted, giving her a slight glare. The blonde having to bite down on her lower lip, before another argument would break out. Jimmy was somewhat right. They had to get the awkwardness over and done with. But what was normal anymore? Neither of the girls knew. Austin was gone. Ray had been living it up in Hollywood for the last 11 years. Nothing was the same as it used to be. They had to find a new 'normal' or at least, somehow co-exist.

It wasn't long, before Raymond made his appearance. Stopping the trio in their debate about normalcy. Taking a large swig of her drink. Valerie closed her eyes, making a slight face at the strong bitter taste of the rum that she tasted over the coke. Yep, she needed a few more sips before she could compose herself. Almost finishing her drink in one. Finally gathering the strength and courage to look over in Raymond's direction. Valerie was met with the familiar sight of Ray. That same smile and chuckle, she loved all those years ago. Expect he was more taller than she had last remembered. He looked as handsome and strong, if not more bulky in muscle than she remembered him being. But she found herself almost stuck on the spot. Unable to move. Let alone catch her breathe properly. Not even sure that he'd want her close, considering how they left things. So she kept her distance, whilst Jimmy and Leigh greeted him first.

Of course Ryleigh noticed Val's hesitation. Causing the bitterness to stir once again. But for everyone's sake; she tried to keep a smile on her face as she greeted Ray with a hug.  "Hey you, glad to see you still look the same underneath all that Hollywood make-up."  she said, teasingly. But the bitterness seemed to quickly return as she tried to stifle it down.  "It's nice to see you again, too."  Despite how messed up their small group was. It was nice seeing him again.

When it came to Valerie's turn, Val swallowed shakily. Managing to meet Raymond's gaze for a few moments.  "Hi.."  Trying to keep her voice from trembling from her nerves. Valerie managed a small smile.  "How's Hollywood been treating you?"  Seeing him again, it felt like she was back to her teenage self. All those feelings, that were buried were slowly resurfacing. Which made her heart ache with confusion and guilt, especially as she thought about Leon. It wasn't going to be easy, to be around Ray. Let alone her trying to figure out her feelings...towards both him and Leo.
