( 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. )

[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. )

( 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. )
