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

Kipp smiled at him relieved he'd interrupted the silence. Chion trotted next to him. She wasn't talking, but seemed happy about something.
"Hey. No, it fine."

“Great” Fred grinned at him

Blair narrowed her eyes, displeased with the grasp over her nose. She frowned at him, weighing her options carefully. The hand with his nose suddenly came up, and she pressed her open palm against his nose, not hard enough to hurt but enough to annoy him, getting in one last triumph before surrendering his nose. "There you go. You can let go of my nose, now."

Takes head leaned back from the force of her palm, earning her a scowl. He raised a hand to touch his nose, “I missed you so much” he whispered dramatically, rubbing the slight crook on its bridge. He smirked down at her and let go of her nose to her request. He got off Blair and lended a hand, “Come on slowpoke”

Alex nodded solemnly, accepting his position with surprising calmness. This was mostly due to the fact that he had come over to announce himself- he hadn’t even been aware of the bonus piggy-back ride. The disappointment turned to glee in his eyes as he started to concoct a plan. Alex watched the pair eagerly, trying to feign innocence.

Nat, too, was surprised. In her field of work, she'd experienced quite a few breakdowns.
She saluted Alex to show her due appreciation for his consideration.

“A whole half-a-hour?” Noah asked. “Won’t you get tired?”
He climbed expertly on her back, gripping with his hands and legs.

"Oh, no way, broskie." Once Noah was safely situated, she spun around experimentally, just to gauge his comfort level. "I'm a pro. We're talking 6 years of experience"

“I can see your girlfriend is worried about you,” said Korim. “Do you want me to carry the wolf? Or will it bite?”

Ciro didn’t get all vehement, flustered, or lose the ability to coherently talk to Aella for the rest of the day. Instead, he stated with a proud sort of calmness, “Ah, no. I’m afraid you’re mistaken. We’re friends.” The latter declaration was made with the most adorkably convincing finality.

And he was so focused on being so wonderfully content with his friendship with Aella that he completely forgot about the last part of Korim’s inquiry.

Aella sighed heavily when Korim started back up the hill. Her legs were still burning from running up the hill and over the rocks, and a headache was raging in the front of her skull. But she picked herself up anyway, carefully falling into step with Ciro. He was quite clearly struggling with the wolf, despite his best efforts, and she frowned deeply. She couldn't carry it, but she knew a lot of the others could. Especially Wolf-Girl. She had seen the werewolf fling one of them like it was a fly back when they had fought them. She could easily carry it.
"It's very...admirable? Admirable. It's very admirable of you to still be carrying that wolf. I don't think anyone else would do it. But please don't hurt yourself because you don't want to ask for help or whatever. I don't think I'm strong enough to pull you up this hill if you do." She had tried to make a joke, but it really wasn't good, and she instantly shut up when she realized it. "Yeah, that wasn't funny. Sorry."

But, once he looked to Aella to respond, his face fell. “I would thank you, but…” He fell silent for a good while, long enough for any bystander to lose interest. Maybe Korim left at this point. Maybe he didn't.
When Ciro started up again, his voice was so very small, with the hesitance of a recently scolded child. “See, what you said about taking lives yesterday? Well, that most certainly apples here. I would have taken this magnificent creature’s life in the worst of ways if I had not been stopped by my own wounds. And now I am bound by honor to take care of it. If it were not for me, it’d be free and unmarred. But now it’s ruined. So there really is no other way, and I should not be congratulated for trying to fix what I myself have wrecked.” Ciro drooped as much as he could. “I am here to help, not to hurt. And I am ashamed.”

Fred appeared at his side “hey Kipp, hey Cam hope I’m not interrupting anything”

Kipp smiled at him relieved he'd interrupted the silence. Chion trotted next to him. She wasn't talking, but seemed happy about something.
"Hey. No, it fine."

It was clearly not fine, but Kipp seemed happy at the subject change. “Hey Fred,” Cam said emotionlessly.

“Oh yeah. You’re old. You’re a teenager,” Noah said. He had a great amount of respect for teenagers.

"You know it," Nat crowed, barely into teenagerhood, but having acted like it for years before most, a pro at flaunting her status.
She put way too much effort into a jump to clear some mere pebbles and landed foursquare, eyeing up all the possible obstacles to flirt with and give Noah the thrills he'd paid for.
Because. He'd totally paid for this ride.
Because.
5-year-olds definitely worked for an income.
"Alright, who we going after?"

(the perfect adjective for virtually any one of our goofs)

Alex ran after them, giggling and shouting madly.

“Going after?” Noah echoed, gripping harder because landing foursquare tended to throw children off if you weren’t careful. “The cat, I guess.”
Rylie had plowed ahead as usual and was leaping ponderously from rock to rock and sniffing.
