(It's all good. I may call him Pinpin too since it's adorable!) (But he slowly wins her over since he's just a lovable dork. X3) (Yeah, I think that's the one I use.) (That could be taken to mean many things. XD)
His hair returned to hang around his shoulders, stopping the draft from hitting his neck. Loran turned his head to inspect the hairstyle she had placed her hair in, smiling at the end result. "You pull off the messy look well," He commented. "It matches you're we laid back, relaxed look you've got going on." His fingers pitched to reach around and brush back some of the loose strands of her blonde hair, but she left his line of sight once more.
With his heart still beating faster than normal, he stood there in front of her. "I look like I belong in the Court doing paper work with short hair," he muttered, as if the job described was the worst possible ate he could receive. "I hunt and stay out in the woods all day, so I look better with a wild man's hairstyle." It felt kind of good to just feel her playing with his hair. As her delicate fingers ran through his hair, he relaxed, intent on letting do whatever she wanted to do.the young elf had actually just let his eyes fall closed for a brief moment before the sounding of angry popping and sizzling pulled him from his trance. Muttering a curse, he quickly went to check on breakfast that was still cooking.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You in that dress said otherwise," Lexi fired right back as he got behind the wheel of the car. She grinned t the boy as she put the key into the ignition switch, turning it to start the car. "Come on. Mel, or we're stealing your car," she called, hurrying the warlock to get inside the vehicle as well so they could get going.
~*
It was all Phallon could do not to cast weird lance at the boy as he skipped out of the classroom behind her. It was odd, yes, but maybe that was just a show. Maybe once they were away from an audience, the boy would calm down. It was wishful thinking.
"Um, thanks," the girl muttered, taking a step away from him to get back some of her personal space. "It's an Irish name. My family's originally from there."

{I like Dally and Pinpin~ He's a sweetie either way xD} {Pretty much actually, that and because they all grow over the time they spend together. Amalia and whats his face have a ting too, especially in the ovas when Evangelyne and Dally get married, they're like giving each other heart eyes xDDD} {It's the best ones, the others are awkward} {LOL that's the point xDDDDD}
Lumi smiled softly at him, rolling her eyes playfully as he spoke about his hair, letting it down out of the weird way she was holding it and then sitting back, just playing with the brown strands and doing small braids. She'd kind of wanted to run her hands through his hair since she first met him, seeing as she had never really seen a man with such long hair that was so soft and silky, Hopefully that'll be one of the things I'll take from here- Better hair. "Well, I think you'd look equally handsome with any hairstyle." she said quietly, watching as he seemingly relaxed in front of her. She herself was feeling pretty laid back at the moment, and soon enough she felt as if she would just lean forward again and set her head against his to doze off a little. It wasn't like they had to do anything today except for figure out when they were doing trial. Other than that, it was just her, Loran- Oh, and the meat in the oven.
Loran immediately moved away from in front of her, and Lumi frowned slightly to herself as his hair slipped out of her fingertips. She crossed her legs over each other and leaned back against the counter, watching him tend to the food as a disappointed feeling carried around her chest. She had to ignore it, though- She couldn't let him know that she felt that way, "Is the meat okay? You don't want to let it get burnt." she said in a teasing voice, though she didn't feel as playful as she usually did due to the fact she now kind of felt... Lazy, and tired. She wished she could cuddle back into Loran's chest and sleep again like the night before, even if she had been generally surprised when she woke up right next to him. It had been super comfy, she had to admit.

(The sweetest. ^^ ) (What's his face? That could be anyone! XD) (Very awkward indeed.) ( XD These kids have their heads in the gutter. XD)
"Yeah," Loran replied. He lifted the skillets away from the fire, setting them down on the counter to inspect the contents. The meet was a little browner than he usually cooked it, but it wasn't enough to hurt. That was the price he paid for getting distracted. He probably would have let the kitchen burn down while standing there with Lumi. The young elf made a reminder not to do that while cooking again, unless it was something like stew which didn't need a constant watch.
He reached into the cabinets and pulled out two plates, putting a fair share on each before setting them on the small kitchen table. The cutlery was next, and then followed by cups. "What would you like to drink?" Loran asked as he placed a half a loaf of bread in middle of the table. It wasn't a huge breakfast, but it was one that he kept him going for years. He wasn't a chef, so he was good to have even learned the few recipes he knew.

{{ Mel waved Lexi off playfully as she buckled her own seatbelt. "Teenagers are so bossy nowadays," she teased, all in good fun. She loved Lexi and Jesse both, bossy teenagers or no. It was nice to be able to spend some time with them, all things considered.
Jesse stuck his tongue out at Lexi, watching himself in the rearview mirror before he returned to his usual scowling. The teasing and joking was nice, though. It was so much different than what he was used to back home and, in all honesty, it was better in more ways than one. "You're just jealous, 'cause I looked better in that dress than you would."
~βββββ~βββββ~βββββ~
Auri did not, unfortunately for Phallon, stop when they left the classroom. He continued to be as outrageously cheery and friendly as he had been before. "Irish! That's nifty. I've never been to Ireland, but it does sound lovely," he chattered conversationally, not getting in her space once she moved away. He could understand that subtle little hint, at least, even if he was overly touchy-feely. As they neared the nurse's office, he said, "I wonder if she'll give me candy. Sometimes, she gives me candy if I agree to take her awful medicine. It really does taste quite nasty."
The nurse was standing just outside her office, scribbling something onto a clipboard attached to the wall, when she sae them. Her face seemed to go a bit pale, but she smiled and waved anyway. They were too far away for her to speak to just yet and she, of course, wasn't going to yell.
Auri, however, didn't seem to care much about peace and quiet. "Oh, hello, Ms. Sparrow! You look positively gorgeous today! And I made a new friend. Her name is Phallon. Isn't that a lovely name? It's Irish!"
Ms. Sparrow flinched a bit at the volume of his voice and, when they were closer, put her hands up. "Er, thank you and yes, Aurion, that's very nice. But please lower your voice, okay? Inside voices only." She gave Phallon what seemed to be a sympathetic glance as she took Auri by the arm. "Thank you for bringing him here, Phallon. You can head back to class now, if you want." It was very obvious that Ms. Sparrow was giving Phallon a chance to leave and spare the poor girl from any more of Auri's rambling.
In fact, even Auri caught on, and he nodded his agreement, albeit hesitantly and much less enthusiastically. He didn't speak, although he did give her a little smile. Even he couldn't miss something as unsubtle as that. }}

"I am not going to try to prove you wrong," Lexi as she pulled away from the Institute. "You won't catch me dead in a dress." The girl was a tomboy to her very core. She would much rather dress in her hunting gear than dress up in a frilly skirt for any occasion. They were just too drafty and unreliable for her taste. With that said, she drove down to the resturuant they had chosen to go to.
(Bleh, sorry that was so short.)
~*
(Can I just hug Auri? The poor thing just terrorizes the school in the most innocent way.)
"It is when it's not raining," Phallon stated. Her old home back in Ireland was set in a location that frequently witnessed rain showers. Thankfully, the storms were never bad, but 55% of the year saw rain. She missed the small town, though, and even have plans on visiting the land during summer break. If nothing changed those plans, that is. The girl chose not to comment on whether or not the nurse would give him candy. He was already hyper enough as it was, and she didn't think he needed anything to make it worse.
It took a lot for the girl not to cringe at the sudden shout of the boy beside her. She saw the nurse's face pale a bit, which led her to believe that she wasn't as happy to see him as her smile suggested. There was also sympathy that was directed towards her, but Auri didn't notice it as he introduced her. At least, not until Ms. Sparrow told her she could make her leave. The chance to return to class now was very tempting. She would be able to walk back in silence and slip behind her desk as if nothing had happened. However, she felt bad at the thought of leaving to boy behind. Everyone seemed to either laugh at him or dread his presence when he hadn't really done anything wrong. He was annoying cheerful, yes, but that had to be better than being unbearably hateful. "I think I'll wait until he's done," she answered. "Someone has to make sure he gets back to class unharmed. Besides, it's not like I'm going to be missing too much."

Hope tensed slightly as Peter went to through his on trash away. She worried about him falling and hurting himself. She planted her feet on the ground in preparation to jump up and catch him if he did fall. Even though she probably wouldn't have been able to keep him on his feet anyway.

{Rip whoops, i slept xDD} {But annoying tbh, he made me upset sometimes, but both of them did tbh????} {THE SHORT GUY THE OTHER MAIN DUDE} {LOL that's the point xD Lumi's just like 'no i don't lol sorry i'm more mature than that *hair flick*'} {Okay so I had a really good idea for the whole wolf curse and Alaska thing later, random but I was thinking, how about every there's this legend that the elves get attacked by wolves and like it's a myth but some people believe and some don't, but like Lumi is out one day doing who knows what near the house and people on the border start calling for a lock down or something but of course she's confused and kinda freaked {{cue freaked out Loran because he left his gf in the dark and when he finds her some wolves are already prowling}}, and the wolves attack and the wolf that is Alaska like goes to 'kill' Lumi but the two like pause for a moment mid kerfuffle because like Lumi will let a couple guys protect her and she recognizes her best friend {{Though she's super confused}} and then Alaska drags her away to the base of the camp and then reveals its her during the day and that she's been stuck like that for a while and then the next night they head back and bam try to solve the curse, but I like the idea that Alaska just learn how to deal with it}
Lumi frowned a bit more as Loran seemed to quiet down, eyeing up the food as he studied them on the counter. The meat wasn't that dark, nor did she mind, but Loran seemed to be a little bothered by it. She studied the side profile of his face for a couple moments and hopped off the counter easily, watching as he set to work with setting the table. She crossed her arms over her chest and continued to study him as he did so. She eye'd up the bread with a small smile and than looked over at him once more, "Water is okay for me." she said as she crossed over towards the table and slid into one of the two seats, being the one she had sat in the day before.
"If you feel bad about overcooking the meal a little, it doesn't matter to me. Besides, I can make some food every now and then too." she spoke, smiling softly at him. She would even try to learn some of the elven food to make for him, learning how to cook deer and such... Maybe she should ask Baltore to get her some cook books or check out the shelves of books Loran had to the side. She liked the idea of surprising Loran with some of his homes food someday, or even just cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner for him. She didn't think she'd ever been entertained by the idea of doing something like that for someone else before, but the more she saw Loran do for her, the more she wanted to do for him, but twice that.

(Haha, it's all good.) (Yugo! Yeah, I can kind of see that, though I do hope he grows a bit to make the height difference a little less awkward. XD) (XD I love these characters so much.) (I like it! And then Loran will remember her as the one who betrayed them at Lumi's house and hold a small grudge against her for a couple of days.)
Loran nodded and filled both of the cups with water before returning to the table. "I may have to take you up on that offer," he said with a small smile. "I normally don't cook a whole lot for myself. All I can cook well is camp food, and you'll probably get tired of that real quick. So if you want to try your hand in the kitchen, be my guest. Just don't think I expect you to cook all of the meals. I'll still do it if you decide it's not your thing."
He took the seat beside her, scooting up as close as the table as he could comfortably get. Taking a bite of his food, he relaxed a little as the flavor wasn't bad at all. It was a little tougher around the edges, but not terribly so. He would have been embarrassed if he had completely ruined breakfast for her. "I'll ask Baltore if he has a cook book to spare. He does a lot more cooking than I do, so he probably as all the recipes memorized by now. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if we borrowed one for a short while."

{I felt bad homie xD} {YUGO of course, and no, but he is EXTREMELY built under those clothes so it's okay xD Also Season 2 episode 8 10 minutes in you have to see what's implied LOL though the end of the episode is so sad} {GOOD I AM SO GLAD this is the most developement Lumi's ever gotten so I'm happy cx} {I'm also excite to see angry Loran because the wolf stole his gf cx ALSO WE NEED SOMETHING WITH HIM TO HAPPEN loran plot family plot whichever xD}
Lumi smiled softly at him as she watched him take a seat beside her, shaking her head, "I'll be more than happy to cook every meal if needed, I liked to cook at home for myself. Sometimes when I would go out and sell my art, I'd take some goodies along with me to hand out or even sell if I desperately needed the funds. Besides, we can tag team if you ever feel like I'm doing too much, but I want to help you out while I'm here, so you just relax." she explained. It would be awesome if Baltore gave her the book, maybe a few tips and even hints to what Loran liked, if he knew that even... Turning her gaze towards the food in front of her and carefully picking up a fork and knife, than digging into the dear meat.
The meat was cooked fine to Lumi, she just wasn't used to the taste. She chewed the piece around in her mouth for a little and swallowed, "It's actually really good, I don't know what you're worried about." she commented with a slight teasing tone in her voice, immediately having another piece of the meat and matching it up with a piece of egg. Everything tasted different from the stuff she had been eating back at home, but it honestly wasn't that bad at all. She just didn't want Loran to be worried about making things nice for her or whatever he had gone so quiet about... "I would've done it better, though." she said casually, eating another piece as she glanced over at him to see his reaction.

(Don't feel bad. I'd rather have you well rested and not have you fall asleep on the keyboard, lol.) (Hah, I'll have to make sure to hurry and watch the rest of season 1 then.) (Lol, it's the same for Loran.) (I will definitely do something like that. Maybe after the trial, when Lumi doesn't get punished or killed, the twins could confront them and cause a whole big scene. Lumi can even learn why they hate her so much.)
Loran smiled at her playful jabs. His shoulders relaxed, letting out the tension that he hadn't been aware he was gathering in his muscles. Of course, she could have been lying about how good it tasted, but he wasn't going to try and call her bluff. She was eating it without hesitation, so he would leave it at that.
"I have no doubt you could have made it better," He agreed. "As much time as I spent with my mother, I never really learned much about cooking. Then again, I was too busy running around the place to learn much." He gave a small laugh. "She was probably glad when I got old enough to be taken along on hunting trips."

Tori smiled in hopes to cover up her little moment. She didn't want to ruin the rest of his night by worrying about her. Then you'll stay the night here? she asked, half joking. She didn't want him to leave, but she couldn't keep him here. Not when he had family waiting for him at home. It's Just so sad that you have to leave.
Alec laughed and shook his head. "I don't think your pops would be too pleased with that," he joked. He rolled off the edge of the bed and hopped to his feet. "And I'd rather live to see eighteen, if I can." He leaned over and kissed her cheek. "Good night, Tori."

{LOL done it before believe it or not xD} {OMG run things happen homie you'll be screaming} {AHHH that makes me so happy I love Loran <3} {YES PLEASE omg i'm so nervous}
There we go. Loran let out a small laugh which immediately allowed Lumi to relax as well, a relieved smile pulling upwards at her lips. She laughed as she tried to imagine little Loran with his mom making food and making a mess or failing, her own thoughts drifting to time with her mother. The last time she had seen her she had been about... 13, maybe? She didn't quite remember, but her mother had always helped her with cooking, painting, anything Lumi was interested in doing, even when she had gotten pregnant with what would have been her little sister or brother, but... She didn't really want to think past that. It had been a hard time for her, and even bringing letting her brain trail over the memories of her parents made her heart ache.
"I bet she adored you for it, none the less." Lumi said quietly as she ate more of the food, than pushing her plate aside when she found herself full. She'd never eaten a lot ever since she had first met Loran, so she knew he wouldn't be bothered if her intake was a small portion. Instead, she rested her elbow in the table and her cheek against her knuckles, smiling at Loran, "I can always teach you tips and tricks so that when you go out hunting, you don't have to eat the exact same thing all the time. Or I can ever prepare snacks in advance, hm?" she said with a small grin, raising an eyebrow as if wondering whether or not he would like her doing that for him. She'd be more than glad to, of course.

{LOL I usually do that, sometimes I'll wake up in the morning xD} {YASSS don't forget about me though ; ~ ; } {HOPEFULLY she'll probably just dot over him a lot and give him lots of love it'll be great xD} {honestly I have no clue I feel like it's something to do with their parents} {When should Loran's brother come? Soon? after the fluff}
A day or two?... That was a long time to be gone with her in such a different place... She hoped he didn't have to go hunting anytime soon, she didn't like the idea of being at home for the long without him around. Maybe she could tag along? It wasn't like she didn't know how to use a bow and arrow, she'd had one back at home and whenever she needed food asap, she would head out to find something small. Skinning had been her least favourite, but it was life. Also, she had learned how to use a dagger and a bow and arrow, both for self defense. She was a girl living out on her own, and after Archer... Well, she just wanted to be ready.
She frowned a little bit at what Loran said next, making a comment about how he was a 'big boy who could feed himself'. Didn't he understand that she just wanted to help him? Maybe even seen as 'sweet'? That was probably just her feelings talking... And she didn't expect him to feel the same way, "That's fine. I just wanted to be helpful." she said quietly, before grabbing her plate and glass and slipping away from the table, going to go wash them.

(Lol, I did good to get up at 10:30 this morning. That was the latest I've ever slept in. XD) (I won't! I'll be making plenty of commentary so you will know which episode I'm on.) (Yes, that's just what Loran needs: someone to spoil the child. XD) (Yeah, it is. I'll try to make it as sad as possible. XD) (He can come now if you want, and ruin the happy mood.)
Loran felt a pang in his chest and he knew he had said something wrong. Lumi's tone and comment told him so. He hadn't meant to upset her, only to joke around. The elf kind of needed someone to help make sure he had fully prepared everything before leaving on a trip, and her offer was appreciated, even though he obviously didn't convey that well in his last statement.
"You're being more than helpful!" He said, standing as she walked to the sink. "I didn't mean to make you think you weren't. What I meant was, I just didn't want to force you to do anything more than what you want to do. I'd love for you to make me snacks! I mean, all I usually take for snacks is jerky, so it'd be nice to have something else for a change. But only if you want to do it. I'm not making you."
Aaannd he was digging himself deeper into a hole, he could feel it. His ears burned red as he rubbed the back of his neck. The desperately tried to think of something better to say, something that would make Lumi smile or laugh. Yet all he could think of was, You stupid idiot! Nice going, you made her mad.

{HOLY really for me it's like 1 pm. What grade are you in, may I ask? } {BLESS omg I wish I could watch it with you i got lots of commentary xD} {And he's gonna spoil her LOL i love the babes} {SCREAMS lumi's got a bad parent past too so she can snap at the twins for that. I'm just gonna spill it now homie: Her parents died when a plague passed over the human territory. Lumi was somehow 'immune', but she had to watch her parents rot away, including her mother that was pregnant with her baby sister ; ~ ; So she was an orphan, was on her own, moved in with Archer, and then by herself, and now happy with Loran <3333} {BRUH whenever you want cx catching them in a moment though??? like baltore but it's worse}
Lumi paused while she was walking and stared at him for a couple moments as he babbled on and on, expression unreasonable, but after a couple moments her lips turned upwards into a grin and she laughed gently, He's always so cute when he babbles. She set her plate and cup into the sink before crossing back over to the table, using her excuse to get some bread a good reason to go over and give his arm a soft squeeze, reaching over to slice some bread off before raising it to her mouth to nibble, "If I offer to do anything for you, it's because I want to, okay? I'm over the days where people control me, so if you were that type of person, I'd be gone a long time ago." she explained, smiling up at him before heading back over to the sink.
"Besides, you're gonna see the effects of a woman being in the house. It'll be cleaner, prettier, and you'll be a lot more organized." she explained as she got rid of her food, than began to wash her items carefully, not before rolling up the big sleeves all the way back. She looked back at him and smiled, "I'm more than happy to do things for you and be of help while I'm here, so you never need to be worried about that kind of stu-" she began to insist, but was cut off when an obnoxious strand of blonde hair fell into her face, blowing upwards at it to get it out of th way. Unfortunately, her hand were soaping, and pushing it aside would involve getting her hair all soapy as well, That's what happens when you put you gigantic head of hair in a messy bun. Good job, Lumi, now who looks silly?

The girl stood so she could walk with him to the door. (Either sound a good. Do you have a preference?) "Yeah, it's part of the contract for them to pretend they like me," he laughed. He raised an eyebrow as he headed for the hall. "Where are you going?" he asked. "Isn't it past your bed time?" His phone buzzed in his pocket. Henpulled it out and glanced at the screen. "That would be my cue,."

(lol, I'm in my 2nd year of college. I've been told to get up early all my life, and I usually get up around 7. Even on days I can sleep in, I'm usually out of bed by 9.) (That would be so cool!) (Same here!) (Aaaahh! Poor Lumi! *hugs her* Don't worry, Loran will make sure nothing bad will happen to you ever again. Or at least try to at least.) (Hehe, Alright then!)
"Alright," Loran murmured, his shoulders slumping as she told him everything was okay. He still felt as if he messed up with his words, but he wasn't about to pursue the topic of conversation any further. Lumi wanted to help out around the house, so he would let her do whatever she wanted to do. If it came down to it, he would make a schedule for the chores if she was taking over too much. Hopefully she wouldn't try to take on too much since this was his house after all. He didn't want her to do everything herself.
He watched her as washed the dishes. There was something charming about how she focused on her work, even when she cast a glare at the strand of hair that feel in front of her face. His heart did a little flip. Why? He had no clue. Maybe it was the sight of the girl seeming to make herself apart of his home. Or maybe it was just her in general? She was awfully pretty. And funny. And gentle. Where was he going with this? Loran blinked a few time to snap himself out of his wandering thoughts, his gaze still on the girl in front of him. Stepping forward, the young elf gently brushed the strand of hair out of her face, his fingers brushing her cheek lightly as he tucked it behind her ear.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(I think we should start back with school. As cute as a New Year's smooch would be, they wouldn't really do much else unless her family went over to his house to bring in the new year, which would lead to a lot of tension. But I think school would be better, unless you just want to add more fluff in before that.)
I'm making sure you get home without injuring yourself, Tori replied playfully as she smiled. She made a shooing motion with her hands, herding him towards the stairs. Go on, they're probably need the life of their party back.

{See, I thought you seemed too mature to be in highschool xP I'm in my gap year atm but I plan on attending college next year cx so I'm like... 19 in two weeks LOL. Yah I only do that if I'm working super early multiple days in a row and my bodies like 'wake tf up xD'} {I always like watching shows with friends more, my one friend and I watch Star vs the Forces of Evil together, and the girl who lives in my house and I watch like... Everys how xD} {Poor Loran is like 'I'll protect you' *series of unfortunate events* 'I'll... Protect you?....'} {*squee*}
Lumi made a face at him as he seemed to slump his shoulders and say a small 'alright', but it still seemed like something was bothering him. Nonetheless, she turned her attention back to the dishes, still trying to get rid of the strand in her face while her thoughts wandered and she cleaned. What could she say to Loran to make him feel better? That it would make her happy that she was doing things for him? That she cared about him, and just wanted to help? If only she could portray her feelings better to him without him possibly getting freaked out and possibly making things awkward, she would. She would tell him how she just wanted to make him happy, and not be such a nuisance that just had problems and held him back from being an elf. She just... Wanted his happiness, that was all.
She turned her gaze towards where he had been, opening her mouth to speak, but suddenly finding him standing in behind her, freezing in her movement as his hand raised to push the annoying strand of hair out of her face, gently grazing across her cheek as it did so. She felt her hair on her arms stand on edge as goosebumps covered her skin, causing her cheeks to tint a pink colour as she locked her ocean blue gaze onto his green ones. She had stopped washing the dishes, and was honestly just staring at him, her heart doing this crazy wacky thing where it felt like it was beating a mile per minute and stopping at the same time- Or wait, was that her breathing? She had no clue, but all she did know was that, He's seriously gonna be the death of me. If the elves weren't going to kill her, Loran definitely would.

(*gasps* I turn 19 this Thursday! XD I graduated early due to being homeschooled. I would have taken a gap year, but I also just want to get my schooling done and out of the way as fast as I can.) (Lol, I like to watch shows with my sister. Right now, she's trying to get me to marathon Steven Universe with her, as well as watching Wakfu.) (XD He just slowly looses confidence with each bad thing that happens. XD)
Here eyes were so blue, Loran's mind processed the thought before anything else. He had seen her eyes so many times before, but never so close. He could see all the little darker fleck in them from where he stood. He wondered if she knew her eyes were two different shades that blended together so nicely to make their ocean hue. Her blush only made her eyes shine brighter. Yet, the moment he saw her blush, he felt his own rise to his face.
He knew he should have stepped away, gave her some space. Loran hadn't meant to embarrass her or anything, but to just help her get rid of her annoyance. Yet, he didn't want to. His heart was on overdrive, and he was pretty sure she could hear it over the silence between them. He should say something, anything to break the silence. His lips parted to speak, forming some kind of sentence...
"What are you two doing?" A voice from the door way called to them, the tone stern and questioning.

{Omg! I saw it was your birthday but I didn't think you were close to my age I should comission art of Loran and Lumi for our birthdays tbh we'll see how much extra cash I have. Wow homeschooled? I wish I was homeschooled xc I had a really hard time in highschool and battled a lot of mental illness, so I missed like 52 days in my first semester of Grade 12 but ended up with honours so xD} {o.o Steven Universe... I hope you like that? The fandom is kinda insane, so I stay away. Wakfu is amaze though, apparently a new season is getting released cx} {LOL so in the end they protect each other maybe??? idk i love the babes and the idea of them being there for each other cx}
Lumi could've sworn she could melt right there when Loran's own cheeks lit up pink, touching his ears like they usually did. His ears... She was so fascinated by that. Not weirdly, but just because it was so different from her own and one of the most defined differences between elves and humans. Her eyes trailed over to them for a moment, before looking back at his eyes once more, gaze softening as she smiled softly, face crinkling slightly with happiness as it moved the freckles on her nose and made her eyes seem more lifelike. She wanted to move her hands so bad to just... Show him how she felt in some way, but she couldn't, and she wouldn't. But she needed to speak and break the silence before her heart exploded out of her chest, and just as she and Loran had been about to speak-
She immediately lept back from Loran, spraying him with water from the sink. She gasped a little and pursed her lips to keep herself from letting out laughter, her heart still beating pretty quickly as she tried to calm herself down. A voice had broken them out of their trance, which she automatically assumed was Baltore, so she didn't let it bother her until she moved her gaze towards the entrance way of the kitchen, expression immediately falling as she swore she felt her heart stop. Not with happiness, but with fear.
The elf was unrecognizable, and not happy by the looks of it. They already weren't happy with her being there, but if anyone besides Baltore found out about- Found out about what? Loran was just keeping her in his house while she was here... But even so... She turned to fully face the new elf, wiping her soaping and wet hands off on her leggings as her face took a serious expression, though while she had been turning she had moved closer to Loran, standing beside him. Why had she done that? Well, she didn't know who this newcomer was or what he wanted, and quite frankly- She was terrified.

(That would be amazing! But don't spend money on it. I don't want you to go broke for these characters. XD Homeschooling for me was great, but I didn't have a lot of socializing. I'm kind of the one everybody overlooks whenever in a crowd. Though, I doubt going to public school would have changed my social awkwardness. I'm sorry you had a rough time with school, but at least you made it out on top. ) (I'm not really into it as much as my sister, but I know enough to make jokes and annoy her. XD It's a pretty good show, but I just don't find it as interesting as Wakfu. THERE'S A NEW SEASON?! I have to get caught up before they release it!) (it kind of makes me feel bad for wanting to hurt them, but not enough to stop me. XD) Loran jumped at the sudden voice and moved so he was slightly in front of Lumi. He was expecting Baltore as well, but, unlike Lumi. He relaxed when he saw it was only Canchon. The elf had the same structure as the rest of them. Long brown hair was tied back in a single neat briad with only is bangs framing his face. Green eyes studied the two of them, a few shades lighter than Loran's. He wasn't happy with what he had walked in on, but he wasn't seething with anger either. "Oh, Canchon, I didn't hear you come in," Loran said quickly. "How did you get in?" "You put a spell on the door to only keep those with ill intent out," Canchon replied, his voice a pitch deeper than his younger brother. "I just came here to tell you hat you and your... guest have a trail to attend today." Loran looked at his brother in confusion. "What do you mean? I haven't even set the trail date yet. I was waiting for Lumi to fully heal first." "I set it up," Canchon replied. "Now hurry up, we don't have all day. Th Court is already assembled and waiting."

Mika gave another nod and started cleaning up after dinner while he waited for her to finish her bath. By the time he heard the water stop pouring, the dishes were cleaned and set to dry, and the table and counters were wiped down. It wasn't hard to keep things tidy around here with just him. Even with Destiny here, it didn't seem like there should be any issue. The entire time he'd been waiting, he wondered what he could do to help her feel more comfortable here. He sent a few texts to the social worker to let her know what was going on. Her message made his heart skip a beat.
I'll be there in ten minutes.

With slow steps, Peter eventually made it to the thrash can. He turned around and meet Hope gaze with a small smile. "I'm fine," he assured her, walking back to the table. It was weird how he was able to put weight on his broken leg while in a cast, yet if the cast was gone, he wouldn't even be able to put the slightest pressure on his leg. "Are you ready to go?" Hope relaxed her shoulders when he had made it back. "Whenever you are, just let me change out of this dress and heels." She stood then and made her way to the trash an.

{I will spend all the money LOL and honestly, I don't think it matters, homeschooling or not. I've met homeschoolers who are great at socializing, personally I'm terrible unless in charge because of anxiety. And LOL i still have it bad but I'm trying, thanks gurl cx} {It's eh idk xDD Same pm wakfu is amaze, and SOON MY FRIEND apparently idek what they're gonna do with the new season though tbh WOW I JUST FOUND 3 TRAILERS OMG THE SUSPENSE 1,Β 2,Β 3Β the only thing that these trailers prove to me is that you don't touch Pinpin and Eva's kids} {HURT they need to hurt Β little and grow stronger together in the hurt duh xD}
The resemblance between this new figure 'Canchon'Β and Loran were so uncanny that Lumi was kind of uncomfortable. He was like an older version of him pretty much, with just a few differences she was able to point out due to Loran's importance to her. She stayed standing slightly behind Loran though, only because she was still scared and liked the protection, though when she heard Canchon's words, her breath caught in her throat. She would've thought the trial would be in the next few days or so, giving her some time with Loran before her life was decided upon. But that wasn't the case, and it didn't look good for her, seeing as even Canchon refered to her as a 'guest', rather coldly, may she ask. He didn't seem particularlyΒ upset, just more... Grumpy. But the didn't help calm Lumi's nerves as she glanced over at Loran, murmuring, "Give me a moment." before heading past Canchon and up the stairs into the room.
She needed to get away for a moment to compose herself and to change, but she just ended up almost falling to the floor, having to lean against the wall so she could think for a couple moments. If she didn't speak right, said the wrong thing... They would kill her. Lumi would die. She would never get to tell Loran how she felt or see him again, or even be able to go home. She would finally be able to join her parents and her sibling wherever they were in the afterlife, but unlike every other time she contemplated her death... She was struck with a wave of fear. She didn't want to die. She wasn't just living for nothing anymore. She had things to do, places to go, things to learn, and Loran... She couldn't, wouldn't leave him behind.
But for now, she needed to suck it up and make it through the trial. She pulled off her clothes and pulled on her pink dress, than fixing her hair to look more presentable, pulling the bun in a tighter knot and letting two little strands on either side, before standing in front of the mirror. She looked the same old Lumi- Dress, hair, everything. Except the tears that filled her ocean blue eyes, causing them to redden unwelcomingly. She cursed softly and wiped them away, hard, before hurrying downstairs. She didn't want them to think anything was wrong.
She came to a stop at the bottom step, folding her hands over her waist and giving them back a serious look, ignoring the fact she might look... Upset, "Ready." she spoke out, trying to seem confident, trying to seem strong, though her voice just came out as a whisper.
