[ wanda's always been the complicated sort, often always seeking company as she dreads the weight of loneliness while often simultaneously wishing to be left entirely alone if possible. it's a curse, she thinks, her thoughts now too overwhelming as she comes to realize there's really no leaving this place, not this one or the one she just left behind, memories of the aerie as real as the years she'd been raise in sokovia, two wars colliding to wrestle for the forefront of her mind.
most nights, she'll try to drown those thoughts with tea to ease herself to sleep; tonight, she asks the bartender for whatever's strongest to fill her cup.
in the midst of scrunching her nose dramatically with her first gulp (she did ask for strong and that's definitely what she gets), she accidentally holds that pose when she turns upon realizing she's being spoken to. half-distracted with the piercing burn cascading along her throat and trying to categorize the influx of memories still in her head, it takes her a moment of pause to try to recall which world she met the girl before her.
huffing a sigh, she licks her wet lips, tilting her head. ]
You know, I almost didn't recognize you without all of the blood smeared on your face. A good thing, since I'm not on duty tonight.
