The Hidden Door-A Role Play (AKA The Most Dangerous Coffee Shop II)

[Butterscotchbitesfinger]

"Its not fine—" Blair stopped herself instantly. She sounded just like her mother. She couldn't sound like her mother. That was the last thing she wanted. "Its not fine, Kipp, I can't—Kevin has a kid?!" Blair looked up at Fred, another wave of confusion washing over her. "I don't...since when has Kevin had a kid?"

“Since I found baby stuff” Fred replied

Blair forced herself to breathe, and assess the situation. Yelling wouldn't do anything. But calmness also wouldn't. "You're going to go to Kevin, explain to him what you did and apologize. Understand? You're not going to lie to him. You can't just go into peoples stuff without their permission." There. The perfect amount of calm and angry. That eerie calm with undertones of anger that always made her freeze. Hopefully it would work with them.

“Blair” Fred whined “can you tell Kipp and the others to get me down?”

The nervous playful smile dropped from his face. The words she said didn't bother him, he already knew that had to be done. It was the cold detachment in her voice, that he'd heard so many times before. It wasn't anger, or disappointment, it was past that. Resigned indifference from repeated failures. Like she'd been waiting for him to screw up, and he'd just proved her expectations right. He stared up at her shocked by her sudden rejection. But deep down he'd almost expected it at some point, if not from her someone else.
Fred's voice coming from above him, gave Kipp an excuse to break his eyes away from Blair's. He should have known better than to think that he could actually be accepted. Even his family hated him, why should strangers treat him any differently?

"I'll let him know." He said with a quiet neutral voice. Tensing only for a brief moment as he slipped past Blair then headed down the stairs.

“Kipp! Kipp! You CANT JUST LEAVE ME UP HERE” Fred bellowed

After calming the cattle and tending to any injuries they had, Kevin sat on one of the fence beams. He closed his eyes, feeling the cold air blow through his hair.
Home.
He was finally home. It felt like years since he had been back here, yet it was only three months. So much had changed since then. He had a few new calves and sheep, the apples were practically exploding off of the trees. He hadn’t been over to check on the chickens yet, and could only imagine what sort of chaos they would have caused without anyone there to reign them in. It might be a good thing, though. The more chicks that hatched meant the more birds he could sell, therefore paying back his parents - or whoever had helped - three months worth of feed bills.
Kevin sighed. With this so called “quarantine”, would he even be able to go to the market? He hoped so. How else would he keep this place running? I suppose I could ask my parents for help, if it came to that. . .
He opened his eyes. There was so much work that needed to be done. The lawn desperately needed to be mowed, the decaying apples needed to be cleaned off of the ground, the fresh apples needed to be picked. The vegetables need to be harvested, along with many other things that needed to get done.
As much as he wanted to, Kevin couldn’t put it off any longer. He swung his legs over the fence and jumped down, trudging towards the garage.

Blair briefly looked at Fred, then back at Kipp. The shock was blatant in his eyes, and instantly she knew she'd screwed up again. Again. She thought she had kept her voice between the perfect balance of angry and calm, instead it must have come off as harsh and detached. "Kipp, I'm so–" But he'd already gone, leaving her amongst the chaos, both literal and metaphorical. Chaos in front of her and inside her head.

“Kipp! Kipp! You CANT JUST LEAVE ME UP HERE” Fred bellowed

"Don't yell!" Blair snapped her gaze up to Fred, her eyes flaring the wolf's dark golden momentarily. "Come down here, now, and help clean this mess up." She lifted her arms up to catch him, annoyance boiling under her skin. She had no idea how to react with anything other then annoyance at the moment, even it wasn't nessicarily at them, more herself.

Fred flinched and nodded dropping into her arms and kneeling to attempt and pick up the fragments. Who made Blair the boss? Who asked for her opinion? Who can just walk out on a friend and not even bother to help? Fred though as he picked the pieces out the carpet

Kipp hesitated on the steps at Fred calling for him to come back. But there were others up there who could help him down he wasn't needed.

Kipp folded his arms across his chest after opening the door and wrapped his wings around his shoulders. It was still stupidly cold outside.

"Hey." He said stepping out into the cold air and making his way over to Kevin who was nearby. "Uhh, I was... Looking for your laundry room...?" Kipp squinted one eye as he tried to gauge what kind of mood Kevin was in. How am I going to explain why we forced our way into his attic? I don't even know why. He's gonna be pissed. Blair was, it's not even her house. It's better than Fred telling him he has a baby. Maybe if i say something crazy like that he'll be too confused to be mad?

Fred glared after his so called friend

Kevin stopped walking and turned to see who had spoken to him. “Oh, hi Kipp.” He said. They hadn’t spoken much, but from what Kevin had seen he seemed like one of the few nice, responsible people in the group. He also didn’t drag misbehaving children around, so that was alway a bonus.
“Laundry room? I keep the washer and dryer in the garage. I’m heading that way, c’mon, I’ll show you.” Kevin replied, continuing to walk inside.
He paused, looking around. The first floor seemed oddly empty, and there was a commotion coming from upstairs. “Uhh, will you give me a second? The garage is right there,” He said, pointing to the door on the right of the stairs. “I should probably make sure they’re not tearing the house apart.” He joked, giving Kipp a small smile.
