all tomorrow's deals are done. [ toothless + ember ]

Eden nodded to her answer to just doing soup, as she quietly worked she still listened to what Naomi was saying. Looking back at her in thought before giving a shrug, to the question. "I don't know, I mean if it happens, it happens, if not oh well have a guy friend to go hang out with," she said. "Never hurts to just being friends with someone." Though she had considered the possibility of it, Bran was nice, she enjoyed the conversations, and unlike with Jude, they don't fight at all, at least not so far. Things just seemed easy with Bran, at least so far. "Jude's a good guy....he just...is intense like you said."

"Yea, you have a point there," she said, her shoulders sinking, as she recalled in the past to fights they've had, where Jude made it clear he didn't care for her. Swallowing back the lump forming in her through, and took a deep breath before sighing. "Maybe it's better to just move on, and start exploring different options. But yea, Bran is, we get along pretty well actually." Her mind drifting briefly to Jude and Amity. "I don't know, and it wouldn't really be my place if he stays single or gets in a relationship, it is a choice only he can make." She leaned against the island, as she waited for the soup to boil to add the last few things that would be needed to make it finished. "How was your sleepover though? Have fun?"

Eden moved briefly off the island to move to finish the last of the soup before taking it off of the burner. Looking back to Naomi, she smiled. "I'm glad," she said to the other girl. "You deserve to have a good time." She felt that way about everyone in the cottage, even though she was angry at him, Jude was included in that. "Dinner's ready," she called, though from the sound sof it, everyone was mostly in the living room.

Dylan stayed by Cora's side. he felt bad for the girl, but offered her a small smile. "You'll have it off in no time," he said to her, hoping to cheer her up. Otto glanced up and smiled to her, his mood lifting a bit. "Hey Cora! Glad to see you up on your feet again," the snow leopard said, happy to see her. Aaron gave a smile and a wave of his hand to her.

Otto stood and after letting Cora and Dylan pass through, he went to go grab dinner. "Cora, do you want me to grab you a bowl," he asked her, though Otto's gaze moved towards Dylan with a quiet hum. Dylan followed Cora to the couch, once she was seated, he glanced towards her at Otto's question. Aaron quietly excused himself as he went to go get some food choosing to settle at eating at the island. Zoie came bounding out of her room, taking a glance into the kitchen before moving to the living room, she would grab food later.

I like that, and yea she likes what comes from the curse, so she doesn't mind it staying even though ther me are downsides case in point whats going on with Jude and his zodiac)

Dylan looked to Cora and glanced toeards tbe noise at the entrance, waiting for her to stand, he got up afterwards. "Yea, let's go," He said. Dylan felt it would probably be better anyways, he didn't want to wait around to see what would come of Eden bringing this guy around, though the temptation was there to stir trouble. Aaron tensed a bit on the couch, a hand messing his one of the ends of the scarf.


Bran tensed slightly, ready to have to defend himself if needed, but relaxed once Jude backed off. A victorious smile formed across his face. Eden soon returning a towel around her neck as she offered out another towards Bran. Aries walked around by her feet, one of the crow's wings was wrapped up. "I dont think we have anyone who woukd have clothes that would fit you, so just try dry off best you can," Eden saidm she sent a breif glance to the living room before heading upstairs to return a few minutes later in dry clothes. And even if she was still angry with Jude, she clukdnt help wearing the sweater he had given her, the ruined sleeve long since patched up, a patch of black feathers covering up the poor stitching of the tear. Bran moved settling beside her on the floor, as he attempted to dry himself off.

Dylan laid on his bed, watching the storm from the window, briefly getting up and pulling his curtains across to cover the window. Once Cora joined him he wrapped his arms around her once again. Otto didn't get why some were throwing a fuse over Bran, he seemed like an okay guy, Eden seemed to like him. She was usually cautious about the people she let around her, but whatever Otto trusted his sister.

Aaron looked to Roman, his gaze moving back to Bran and Eden, his eyes narrowing at Bran's comment. But before he could act Jude already was. He relaxed a bit more, glancing towards Roman. He wanted to be honest, to share that he didn't trust Bran nor did he like the man being around his sister. But he couldn't help but feel that he would just come across as a paranoid younger brother, worried about his sister getting into a relationship. "Yea...I'm fine," he said, though it was a lie. He didn't also want to bother Roman with his worries.

Eden was slightly annoyed when Jude came and forced his way between her and Bran, but didn't offer any complaints as she shifted to give Jude a bit more room to sit in. She couldn't help the slight smile to her face, getting to be close to Jude once more, granted it was just because he had a problem with Bran. She touched her hair running a hand through it, as she recalled why she insisted on her hair being down. After he had given back her hair holder , she hadn't bothered to put it back in her hair instead it got thrown into her bag, and eventually forgotten about, till end of the year and she had cleaned it out and came across it. Bran held his hands up once more giving Jude an apologetic smile, though his eyes drifting towards Jude's teeth with rather clear interest in them. "Easy boy, i wasn't doing anything to big of a deal," Bran said. It was true that it had long since became an unspoken rule, that no one was allowed to touch Eden's hair, apart from Jude, not even her brothers dared to touch her hair, even if she asked them for help in doing something.

"I hate to be a bother, but is there a bathroom I could use," Bran asked, mostly seeking a desire to get away, before his head got bitten off. He stood up his gaze drifting once more to Eden now that he could see her. "There's one down the hall, and if someone is in there, there is one upstairs," she said to him. "It's the third door on the left upstairs." Bran hummed disappointed and headed off, not bothering to check the downstairs one and headed upstairs, purely because if it was true about this group, it would be easier to try look into them if he was upstairs out of sight.

Eden stayed by Jude, her gaze briefly lingering after Bran, before her attention moved to Jude. Not pulling away as he touched her hair. Offering a slight smile, just to show she was fine. She wanted to lean to his touch, to say something but words caught in her throat. She just wanted whatever this silent game they were playing with one another to finally be over. But the moment ended as fast as it happened when Jude left. She followed after him, Aaron close behind her. Otto choosing to stay in the living room.

She frowned, not sure why Dr. Minerva would be calling them so late. She and her brothers hadn't really spoken to their parents since the trio decided to move out, something that their parents hadn't approved of, and caused a fight between her and their mother. She had yet to try make amends over it, the girl still angry over the whole thing. Perhaps it was the crow part of her from her zodiac that aided in her holding grudges for as long as she did. She listened to Jude talk leaning against the door frame, while she wasn't hearing whatever was being said on the other side of the phone, the way Jude was reacting was worrying. Aaron settled beside her at the door way, a frown on the boy's face as he watched Jude.

The pair jumped at Jude's sudden shout. Aaron darting back a few lengths back to the safety of the living room, settling back to the couch, Otto raising an eyebrow at his brother, his gaze now on the entrance to the living room, curious about what had happened. "What's wrong," Eden asked him, blocking the path of the office. She knew she really didn't have a shot at stopping Jude, due to being smaller and weaker compared to the shark boy, but she wasn't just going to let him charge off to do whatever he wanted when he was like this.

Bran meanwhile was upstairs, looking at the doors. One of them had to be a bed room of someone. He observed the doors hoping there might be some kind of clue to give away who might reside behind it. Groaning he choose to move and picked a door on the left, and stepped inside. The room he choose being Aaron's bedroom. He began to search about it, being careful with the things he touched to ensure they would get back close to how they were to cover his tracks, as he searched for any clues that might give away the boy being a zodiac and what kind.

Eden jumped slightly at Jude's demeanor but still tried her best to stand her ground. She frowned, her face showing nothing but fear and concern, worried about the way Jude was. She moved to try and comfort him, only for Naomi to be pushing past her. She widened her eyes in shock, and rushed over. "Jude let go of her," she said to him. While she was angry at Naomi for what she did, this type of thing wasn't going to solve anything. She tried to pry off Jude's hand that had a hold of Naomi's neck. The girl struggling to do so.

"Jude, seriously let go," Eden said. "You need to calm down!" It wouldn't do him any good to being angry like this, and with the way he currently was, he was struggling to not shift. If he did they would have a whole new set of issues to be dealing with the marine zodiac. None of them would be able to lift him even if everyone got involved, and it would be a struggle to find a way to get water on him to keep okay. The girl shot a brief glare to Naomi, they would have to have a talk for sure about what she choose to do. Eden was furious towards her for making that call, when she knows the issues that Jude was having with his! Eden couldn't wrap her head around what Naomi could possibly been thinking when she choose to tell Dr. Minerva that.

Bran was looking under the bed when he heard the voice behind him. Sh-t!He thought turning but soon relaxing seeing it was just Roman, at least that was someone he knew he could deal with, offering the boy at the door with a bright smile. "Sorry I picked the wrong door, and guess I got distracted by things in here." Aaron's room was by far neater compared to Otto's, everything had a place, on one wall was lined with four bookshelves, the shelves chalk full of books, with various stacks on the floor, each with a slip of paper on top, ranging from saying 'to be read' 'to put away' and 'need to finish reading.' He tilted his head with a shrug. "I'm sure it's happened to plenty of people, and that there is no harm being done." Aaron similar to Jude in a way, was somewhat protective of his room, while he had no qualms about people coming in, he just wanted people to ask for his permission to enter it. Bran glanced back towards the bed, when his eyes light up with a bit of interest, sticking against the blanket on the bed was some bright orange hair. "That's odd I don't recall Eden mentioning them having any pets," he said, picking the hairs off of the blanket. "You've known them longer then I have, perhaps you know?" He showed the hairs to Roman, which where unmistakable of being fox fur.

Eden reached a hand out to Jude, her heart breaking at the look on his face. But befkre she could do anything he was running off and she heard the sound of his door slamming shut. Her gaze moved to the girl on the floor, her eyes narrowing briefly, before she left the office, to return with a glass of water, offering it out to Naomi. Sure she was still incrediblypissed at her, but it would be impossible to get anything out of her if they did question her motives if she was hacking up a lung.

Bran blinked in surprise as it was snatched from his hand. The smile never faltering from his face. "I suppose you have a point. I havmet known them to long. They very well could have a pet and it simply never came up in our conversations. But i suppose very well could have been from a halloween costume as well," he said. Adjusting his glasses he flahsed one last smile before leaving Aaron's room, and heading back down stairs and returning to the living room. Pausing briefly to look at the door that had slammed shut, before continuing his descent downward. He settled back on the floor once he returned to the living room.

Eden watched Naomi fkr a bit, to ensure she drank the water without any issues. Seeing she was mostly fine, apart from nearly meeting God, she left the office. Heading back to the living room where the others were. She settled onto the couch next to Otto and Aaron, running a hand through her hair. She wasnt sure how she was going to break this to everyone that Naomi had tried to screw everyone over. She glanced toward Roman when he entered the room, and headed over for Aaron. Bran glared at Roman a bit.

Aaron gave a slight jump at the sudden grab, looking at him. "O-okay, uh...we can go to the kitchen, or upstair," he whispered back, a slight frown on his face. Though the idea of going upstairs while Jude was upstairs wasn't as appealing, as he didn't want to cause Jude mlre stress when he was trying to get away from everyone. "What's wrong?"
