Vacation is kind of over, ( she admits, holding the door open once she unlocks it, before letting it swing shut behind her. ) but not because our parents made it be. ( But, she is... leaving. ) I'm sorry we couldn't help you. But, thank you for coming to us about aunt Bonnie.
( The entertainment options are scant in this room: the minibar, the TV, is that a radio in the clock? She turns back. )
Things were kind of nice at first, right? I kind of called you shady, but you were acting shady. ( She smiles. ) You weren't less hot, though. What did my face look like when we came face to face again?
( She was supposed to be going into the year of Lizzie. Embracing everything womanly, grown and collegiate, separate from her favorite twin. It can still happen, with a slight detour. Maybe someone on her arm. How do you ask a near shady stranger who's dealt with a lot of loss to join you and your friends on a private jet back. )
Not that we have any real plans beyond the last minute backpacking trip cut short, but, you could come back. With me. Us. We have a crazy in depth library and the remnants of an armory I'm not supposed to know about, so, maybe we can speed up your regency. And, it wouldn't suck if I were there, too. It's clear I'm coming back too, right?
[And he can't help but smirk a little at that. It doesn't sound like a bad idea. He's already ducked out on the coven once. Flying to another continent doesn't seem too bad at this point. But he also knows that Eliza had expressed the displeasure of some of the other witches that he hadn't come home yet. And now with the botched ritual?
He knows he can't say yes right away.]
Let me talk to Bonnie, yeah? Unfortunately, it's ... not just about what I want.
[As much as he's trying to project confidence right now, there's still that teenage boy who's hesitant. He doesn't think he's reading this wrong, but on the off chance he is, he doesn't want to get slapped.
So instead of just leaning in and kissing her, he moves one hand to her waist, playing with the belt loop of her jeans.]
We should probably take advantage of it while they're gone.
( The green light is a go as she lets him tug her closer and she initiates a kiss. The bed she's been sleeping in gets put to use, tension between them unraveling in a fumbling, but earnest way. )

[Being alone in his head is not a good place for him to be right now. He's realizing this.]
no subject
( Her room key is already in her hand as she steps up to the door. It would be embarrassing if he said no, but, she shoots her shot! Kind of. )
no subject
[He can hang with a pretty girl. That's a totally chill thing that he can do. He moves closer and waits for her to let him in.]
Are you still doing what your parents said and going home?

no subject
It's not as though this was the whole purpose of my trip. It just ... happened.
[Or something like that.]
But yeah, of course. I know how important you both are to her.

no subject
Probably a lot like mine.
[Because he was pretty flabbergasted himself.]
You ... weren't what I was expecting when Bonnie talked about her nieces. In a good way.
no subject
( Younger. When their biggest concern was hem-lines and phones. )
We're high school graduates now.
no subject
[He drums his fingers against his leg as he thinks.]
Probably heading back to go to school, yeah?
no subject
( Because, how could she not. )
And Tulane. We're matriculating separately. Not that we don't have the rest of the summer ahead of us. What about you? Are you -- college-bound?
no subject
I was. But ...
[You know, his family was murdered, so.]
I think I'm gonna take a gap year.
no subject
... Bonnie said you're living in Scotland?
no subject
[He's not particularly attached to it, but there's a moment as he watches her, trying to figure out where she's going with this.]
no subject
( She's been smoother. )

no subject
( And, her company. But, that's implied, right? )
no subject
So you all really travel in style, huh?
no subject
( They were invited, after all. )
Um. When... are you talking to Bonnie.
no subject
Well, she went off to have dinner with Isaac, so she probably won't be back for a bit.
no subject
( For a while. She too takes a step closer. )
