Holly couldn't help but laugh slightly as she saw the look that the bartender gave to her. Though in all honesty she was actually quite surprised that she hadn't gotten the same exact look. But maybe that was just progress, not that it mattered too much the bartender was still going to give her the drink anyway. Though she could tell why he'd be a bit reluctant to give someone who didn't even look close to twenty-one alcohol, all it took was the wrong person to walk into the bar and see it happening and the bartender could be in some serious trouble, but it seemed that everyone always managed to put those concerns behind them and give all the students at the nearby academy what they wanted to drink no matter what it was. Well, they usually didn't with freshmen students actually, espeically not those who looked it. Most sophomores managed to get by as well, it just depended on how much closer they looked to being old enough by the bartender's standards to actually be able to drink alcohol. Each bartender had different standards for that she'd learned, but usually they were almost all around the same age. Usually seventeen was the magic number, but apparently not with this bartender. Or maybe Addie just didn't look it enough, which she actually couldn't see happening. She thought that she looked her age.
She took her attention away from the bartender and back to Addison when she started talking. She liked the way that she was thinking, talking first was the best way to go about things. She also liked the way that Addison bluntly approached the subject, it proved that they were both on the same page. She nodded slightly with her words, that sounded good. She never liked to hold people back in whatever binds they had with her anyway. If someone thought they had something better to go after, she never stopped them. After all, she always expected the same option in return. However, for some reason whenever that wasn't said outright at the beginning some people tended to take offense to it, though she had no idea why. It's not like relationships were meant to last forever anyway, especially not the types that she was involved with. It wasn't that she had commitment issues or anything of the sort, she just never found someone that she wanted to be with more than a certain amount of time. She'd told people that she loved them before, but she wasn't sure that it even counted. She had thought she did but she found out not much later that she never really did, if she ever found the person that made her want to stay with them and she felt that strongly about then she'd stay with them. She wouldn't go running away like some of her friends did.
"That sounds good to me," she said with a nod. "Anything better for either of us and it's over. Short, simple and to the point, I like it." Though she was pretty sure that something better would come along first for Addison before it came for her, but that was alright. She could see why Addison might attract more people, her personality seemed colorful. Quite like you weren't sure what you were going to get, with Holly it was obvious what you were going to get. True, everyone had their own secrets and different parts of their personalities, but for the main part people always knew what to expect when it came to her. She was a very predictable person, even when she was being spontaneous, it was predictable. Addison however had a way of making people curious, she wouldn't deny that she was herself. Curious to see what would happen next with her, it wasn't something that she could just figure out right away or at all actually. "So now that that part is out of the way and all out in the open," she said. "I say that we find something else to do after we finish our drinks." She could have downed hers all right then, but she didn't like to usually. She preferred to make it last a little longer, it made it taste better. When she drank all or most of it at once the taste managed to be different somehow, for some reason that she couldn't understand.
