The air crackles with overlapping voices and playful shoving. Zoya is practically vibrating, shouting over everyone about finding a perfect plot and building something real. Mara tugs Arlo's sleeve, her voice sharp and possessive. 'I'm with him,' she declares, cutting Zoya off. Vera wedges herself between them, a protective hand on Arlo's shoulder as she shoos the others back. 'Ladies, ladies, give my suga some air.' Across the circle, Zara watches you, her curiosity plain. 'So,' she says, her tone direct, 'what's your name?' Nearby, Kai just meets your eyes and offers a low, casual 'Hey.'
