After being so interested, after finally having a chance to discover who she was? And Presley... she seemed so strong, yet so young at the same time. Was Brielle really going to leave her to go alone. "...am coming. I'm going with you." she nodded to the younger girl. She didn't want to disappoint her, that was the last thing Brielle would have wanted to do. And so she was going to stand strong, even if it was just this once. Buuut"Won't we get in trouble, though?" For now, she could worry only about that.
Brielle didn't want to go. Presley knew that by the way she hesitated in answering, and her doubtful question. But Pres wanted to go so badly that she shoved that thought to the back of her mind, and pretended she hadn't noticed.
"Fabulous! I knew you would. That's why I asked you. You seem like an adventurous type." Maybe this would even be good. Brielle seemed almost trapped in imagined boudaries and rules that she wasn't bound to abide by, but did. It would pull her out of her shell, Presley decided. Mostly Pres was just lying to herself, and explaining away opposition, but she wanted this sooo much.
"Trouble?" Presley feigned suprise at the word.
"Well, it's only breaking the rules if you get caught." She grinned, adapting the favorite phrase of her elder brother 'It's only illegal if you get caught.' This tended to make Presley nervous, but it also made her laugh, and she hoped it would have the laughing part of the effect on Brielle.
