" Mon Dieu, Mon Cheri! Can't a Frenchman be emotional and have a self pity party? " Leverett ask as he swatted her hands away from wiping away his tears. He grumbled more French as he returned to his food. But a hint of a small smile teased the corner of his lips. She was the kick in the pants he needed.
(yeah she probably would lol, the only one that she has really let touch her without trying to kill em is Alastor.)(Poor girl. I'd hug her but she'd probably gut me.)
Alastor went back to his lab to bury himself in work. But the little reminders left from Eliana's vist here were poignant reminders of her. The tea, the medical kit she'd picked up for him. He sighed softly and moved to put them out of sight, if not out of mind.

Willow grinned with supreme delight as she offered, "I could braid you hair, my masculine stallion."
Ellie just chuckled and shook her head. "remember we already discussed how you flirt with everything other then tables and chairs. So I am thinking its a moot point." She pointed out as she took the remaining berry from his plate and ate it.
"Very well then," Nick said, pushing his plate away. "I'll ask you to stay. Will you stay?" He glanced at his plate. "Even though we're both done eating."
Dimitrifrowned deeply in thought and shook his head, " No, there's nothing there. I can remember my morning, my classes and talking with the vice principal, then nothing. " He explained quietly. "I should remember something so tragic, yet I can't. " He said with thoughtfulness.
Layla smiled slightly at him as he swatted her hands away. She didn't understand any of his French but she was ok with that. "No, you have a pity party and I will treat you accordingly. And one of these days you need to teach me French." She said as she snagged a piece of food from his plate.
Leah didn't answer. Her thoughts had fallen victim to the maze of stars before her. There were what seemed to be countless diamonds contrasting the darkened sky, shiny vessels in a ocean of dark. She, as if it was involuntarily, snuggled closer to William, firmly against his side. After a few minutes of her silence, she whispered in a wonder she relived every night "It's beautiful." It was strange, like the sky cast a spell upon her, ushering away the thoughts of seeing the stars at night, only to do the same thing the night after and after.
Iris suggested simply "Start today, end tomorrow?" as she followed to do the same with the scraps left of her food.
" Good, then I'm mostly there. Because I'm not a troublemaker." Irene said with a smile as she looked to Prim.
