AARON Aaron felt heat rush to his face as he got dragged out of the living room and into the kitchen. He tensed when Roman pulled out the fur, an anxious look drawing across the fox's face. He reached his hand out to take the fur from him. The anxious look growing worse as Roman spoke. He really didn't like the fact someone he didn't trust went into his room, let alone without permission, and was looking around inside it. But the anxious look died down a bit as Roman continued. He slumped forward a bit, his head resting on Roman's shoulder. " Thank god someone else notices this," he mumbled in regards to the last thing Roman said. He knew Jude seemed to not like Bran, but he wasn't sure if anyone else had doubts about the other man. " Thank you for letting me know though." He added after a while, straightening himself out, one of hid hands messing with his scarf. |

What is he searching for, he doesn't know. Oh please, of course I would tell you. You're.. my friend. He responds gently almost not even wanting to say friend. I mean, him blushing around Aaron had to mean something more than friend behavior, right? The ferret feels his face flush at Aaron placing his forehead on his shoulder, his body subtlety tensing. Only to relax once Aaron steps away. But what are we going to do? He questions slightly glancing at the entrance of the kitchen still worried someone would walk into their conversation, mostly Bran. Bran kind of scared Roman. Should we tell Jude? I mean, he really doesn't like Bran. - - - - - - - - - - - - - |

AARON Aaron didn't know what to do about this information. Sure sharing it would be good, just so they could prevent him invading anyone else's privacy, but he didn't know if he would just come off as paranoid, as just because he invaded his room, doesn't mean he wouldn't invade others rooms. He mustered a smile to Roman's words. He felt a bit hurt, but hide it. Sure it was stupid for him to have developed a crush on the other boy, when they were still getting to know one another, but oh well, if it meant he could still interact with Roman, he would happily be friends. He frowned thinking over the question. Jude was the only one that Aaron knew outside of Roman now, that didn't like Bran. "It would be good if we did," he said after a while. "But best to wait on that, Jude...isn't in the best of place right now." He choose to be careful with his wording, while it didn't seem like they were being listened in on, with Bran around and learning what the man did, he felt it would be best to keep wording safe. |

❝ And isn't it just so pretty to think
all along there was some Invisible string tying you to me? ❞ &&. ROMAN ❝ One single thread of gold tied me to you. ❞ Roman sighs. Alright. That does seem best for right now. He responds sighing once more. Maybe if the two of them managed to get Jude on their side of creepy Bran then maybe even the others would listen. After all, Jude was the oldest out of the group. And even though he was grumpy, and just an angry mess, Roman felt the others, especially Eden listened to Jude. But then again even though Roman didn't know the group for that long maybe he was wrong about the others listening to Jude. Dylan and Otto didn't seem to have a problem with standing up to the scary marine zodiac. But it was a better option than letting Bran get away with whatever it was. The ferret zodiac finds himself taking a step towards the fox and finds himself interlacing his hand with his, prying the fox's hand off of his scarf in the process and gives a gentle squeeze while looking up at him with a smile as if to say We're gonna figure this out together. Don't worry. Before letting go and deciding to go back out into the living room.

AARON Aaron frown deepened at Roman's demeanor. While he did want to bring this to Jude as soon as possible, with what happened in the office, he felt it would be best to not add more to his stress right now. While he listened to Eden and Jude the most, as he trusted their judgement, he couldn't guarantee about the others all the time, such as Dylan and Otto, those two boys weren't ever afraid to talk back to Jude or Eden. Aaron felt his heart miss a beat when Roman took his hand, his gaze not leaving the other boy. When Roman left Aaron stared after him, in pure shock. Eventually the boy sank to the ground burying his face into his scarf, hoping to hide how bad he was blushing. OTTO Otto couldn't help the jealousy he was feeling when the pair left the living room together. He wanted badly to follow after them. Why did Roman seem to enjoy hanging out with Aaron so much. He clicked his tongue in annoyance, but he perked up when Roman returned to the living room. A smile growing on his face, happy to see Roman once more, and because Aaron wasn't around. While he loved his brother, because well, family, he didn't like that Aaron was stealing time he could be spending with Roman. |

❝ And isn't it just so pretty to think
all along there was some Invisible string tying you to me? ❞ &&. ROMAN ❝ One single thread of gold tied me to you. ❞ As Roman left the kitchen he was forcing himself not to blush at having held Aaron's hand. Sure he has held the boy's hand before but he never had time to actually grasp the fact that he was doing it. As he reenters the living room he thought about sitting next to Eden but what if Bran decides to sit next to her on the other side. No. Nope not happening. He still remembers the look in Bran's eyes up in Aaron's room. Scary. She inwardly shivers. His purple eyes then flick over to Amity. Nope. She was just as scary as Jude. The his eyes landed on Otto. Nice, weird, funny Otto. Sure. He'll sit by tehe snow leopard. Roman makes his way over and situates himself beside the grey haired male slightly looking at him and giving him a warm smile in greeting.xxx
Amity on the other hand had discarded her phone a while ago and thought about going after Jude who had decided to go up to his room after that phone call in whatever room he had entered but the way he had slammed his door mad her reconsider. She remembered how her Amos used to do the exact thing when he was upset and it took him awhile to calm down and be beside her again. She finds herself sighing as she stares at the staircase in the armchair. She really did miss Amos.

OTTO Otto smiled at Roman when the other boy sat beside him. He tilted his head to the side, he was curious why the boy looked so anxious earlier. "Whats up," he asked after a while, his gaze back to the window watching the storm, but his eyes would shift bakc periodically towards roman, waitong to see if thr other was going to answer. EDEN Eden didn't feel like talking with Bran right now. Her mind was on Jude and she hoped he was okay. Messing with the sleeve of the sweater, she really wanted to just go upstairs and knock on his door to check on him. But her gaze moved to Amity, and her heart sank. Jude would probably prefer it if she went. The bitter thought not helping her mood any. As she heaved a small sigh, this whole thing was just a mess. |

❝ And isn't it just so pretty to think
all along there was some Invisible string tying you to me? ❞ &&. ROMAN ❝ One single thread of gold tied me to you. ❞ Roman slightly jumps at Otto's sudden voice not expecting the other boy to actually talk. They haven't talked in awhile after all. Roman shifts his gaze slightly to look at Otto before looking out the window that occassionally flashed along with the rain hitting the panel. Hey. What's going on? Roman responds as if he hadn't even listened to what Otto had said. The poor boy definately looked like something was wrong with the way his eyes seemed to stay focused on the window. Plus he seemed fidgety.
xxx
Amity had gone back to her phone trying to get Jude to answer her texts only at one point to pause and let her eyes and head slowly lift from her phone screen to see Eden staring at her. The pink haired blue eyed girl glares immediately at said girl. What? Why are you staring at me? You want something? she responds haughtily.

OTTO Otto frowned as the question went unanswered, the boy clicking his tongue as he turned his gaze back towards the window. "Nothing much, just watching the storm," he said, giving a shrug. He was getting more jealous over the fact Roman seemed to have no problems having talked to Aaron about whatever it was. He gave a small yawn, glancing towards others in the living room. Quietly debating on heading to bed. He wouldn't quite worry about where everyone slept, that was an issue probably for Eden or something to figure out. EDEN Eden looked away from Amity, letting her gaze go to the window, as the storm continued to rage outside. "Nothing...just wondering if you would go check on Jude, I'm sure he would prefer you going," she said to the other girl. It did hurt her to say so. She wanted to go up and go and check on Jude, but apart from how at least tonight, things seemed like they were slowly repairing between them, she still doubted Jude would appreciate her being the one to go and see if he was doing okay. |

❝ And isn't it just so pretty to think
all along there was some Invisible string tying you to me? ❞ &&. ROMAN ❝ One single thread of gold tied me to you. ❞ Otto yawning seemed to trigger himself yawning now fully realizing how tired he was from having also worked at his mother's bakery today. He turns his head to stare at Otto unsure if he should even be asking him this. Like what if he tells Bran. Roman shivers internally at the thought. Otto... he starts saying the boy's name in a hushed whisper. What do you think of Bran....? Honestly just saying Bran's name scared the male. It was still so weird to him how some random person thought it was okay to snoop around someone's home.
xxx
Amity scoffs in annoyance at Eden. Even though the girl didn't really like Eden she knew Jude and her were close. Friends even. Look, I would love to go up there and comfort my JuJu. She starts seeming to put emphasis on the word my. But from the muffled yelling and crashing noises tells me otherwise. And just as she says that a noise from upstairs sounding like glass shattering as it hits a wall tumbles down into the living room.

OTTO "Hmmm, about Bran? Hes fine," he said with a shrug."He seems like a good guy. Why?" He looked to Roman, confused. He didnt have the same hesitance and suspicion that Roman shared with Aaron, Cora and Jude. "Plus he seems to make Eden happy, which is good in my books. I guess the only issues I do have stem from, a brother not liking his sister dating a guy." He just didn't get how fast Eden got over her feelings towards Jude. But eh he wasn't going to judge his sister, as unlike Jude, from what he's seen Bran treats her well. EDEN She listened as the other girl spoke, jumping as the glass shattered. She got off the couch where she was sitting to go investigatewhat it was, and to get the glass cleaned up to avoid anyone getting hurt on it. "Suppose you have a point though," she said. If Jude wasnt in the mood to have someone there, it would be nest to leave him be. She ignored the emphasison "my" as she was aware of the two's relationship, and her mood noteably dipped. |

❝ And isn't it just so pretty to think
all along there was some Invisible string tying you to me? ❞ &&. ROMAN ❝ One single thread of gold tied me to you. ❞ Roman hums in acknowledgement to Otto's words. Sure he did see how that would make Otto think Bran was a good guy. He assumes any brother who sees some random guy make his sister happy and treats her well think he's a good guy. Roman felt he would too if he had a sister or even a sibling. Roman glances down at his clasped hands that were every so often squeezing each other out of nerves. He lifts his head and looks at Otto with an obvious concern in his tone. I mean... don't you find it well a little odd that he just randomly decides to befriend Eden?
xxx
The purple haired girl settles herself to a more comfortable position on the armchair she situated in as she listened to Eden talk. The girl doesn't even glance behind her at the glass finally hitting the bottom step. So... even though I would love to sleep in the same room as Jude. I know that isn't really an option anymore so - Her voice gets cut of by a sudden flash and then boom from outside. What's the sleeping situation? She then turns to look at Eden with an annoyed yet obvious look on her face. I absolutely refuse to have to share a room with you.

OTTO Otto tilted his head to the side, at his words. Before offering another shrug as he yawned again. "Hmm
..no not really, I mean if he likes her surely he'll want to get to onow her, only natural," he said. Getting off the love seat and stretching. "She has a good question though, how are we doing sleeping arrangements, " his voice returning to normal as he looks at Eden. EDEN Eden picked up the glass carefully, as she looked back to the living room. She hadn't planned to offer to sharing a room with Amity, while part of it was due to not liking the girl, it mostly roght now was due to Aries being up in her room, and not wanting to put more stress on him with his injuried wing. "You could probably take the living room, and I'll work to figure out something for the guys..." she said. "Or you could probably share with Naomi or Zoie, you'd have to ask though, it's not my call to make for them, but if they allow it, the guys could just sleep out here.." She knew Zoie wouldn't have issues sharing, the girl probably would get excited iver having a makeshift sleep over. |

( will fix this up once i get to my laptop)
Others
Later that night.
Amity decided upon herself to room with Zoie by basically forcing her to let her stay in her room not taking no for an answer mostly because she walked by Naomi's room and saw how messy it was.
Roman had actually been given a choice to room with either Otto or Aaron and easily decided to room with Aaron mostly because he knew the fox shared his views about Bran plus he was scared Bran would do something to him in the middle of the night. Roman happily snuggled into the fox's bed of course keeping a respectable distance.
Jude at the moment had been pacing back and forth in his room a good few hours after he had finally calmed down his zodiac, dressed now in black sweatpants and a bare chest. The blue haired male pauses and glances at his closed door knowing Eden's room was right across. He takes a step torwards his door and takes a deep breath before leaving said room and walking across to Eden's and just stands there for to him felt like 5 years before reaching out and knocking on the door immediately averting his eyes to his bare feet.
( i decided to have jude talk to eden but they wont be on good terms fully until after bran )

OTHERS Bran had settled to staying in the living room. The man not minding it, and also due to him feeling that if he did decide to do some more looking around it would be far easier to do so if he stayed in the living room then risking someone waking up should he stay in a room with someone. Zoie truth be told, didn't mind at all sharing with her, happily letting Amity reside in her room. The girl giving her bed up to the guest, and had made a makeshift on the floor using spare blankets from her closet.
Aaron didn't mind Roman joining him in his room. It calmed him down a bit more, with everything that happened with Bran being in his room. He made sure Roman had plenty of space, which wasn't hard, due to the fact his bed was nestled into one of the corners of his room, and he often curled up into the corner, as it felt the most secure to him. At first it had been hard for him to sleep, as he felt bad for being happy about it, with the look Otto had. But eventually sleep won out, the boy planning to apologize to his brother in the morning.
Eden hadn't been sleeping, to many things on the girl's mind, so currently, she was in the midst of as quietly as possible cleaning her room. Aries was nestled on the pillows of her bed, fast asleep not minding the sound the girl was making. She jumped a bit at the knock at her door. She set the items down and headed over, opening the door a bit to see who it was. "Sorry, was trying to be quiet," she said, opening the door a bit more, to be able to talk a bit easier towards Jude. She looked away from him, as Aries made noises from the bed, the knocking having woken the crow up. |

❝ It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero. ❞
- - - - ★ - - - -
Jude lets out a sigh, a small smile gracing his lips as he leans against Eden's doorframe. No... I, uh... he rubs the back of his neck looking down at the girl almost sheepishly. I'd welcome the noise... honestly. he finishes only to look at over Aries as he squawked in annoyance at being woken up. He lightheartedly chuckles at the bird. Sorry, Aries. Only for his laugh to die down as his blue eyes look directly at Eden for what felt like weeks. This time he lets out a heavy sigh and takes a step towards the girl, letting his head hang down and press into her shoulder, his body hunched from being taller. I... I'm sorry.... marshmallow. A hushed low almost raspy voice comes out of Jude's mouth and a nickname he hadn't used on the girl since high school. A nickname he had given to her on first meeting as well when they were eight and seven respectfully. He felt awful about what had happened in the office room. Not because he had hurt Naomi. No, the boy felt she deserved it but because he had seen how scared Eden had been at seeing him so angry. At seeing him basically between his human form and shark. His eyes stare at the girl's feet, his hands reach and lightly fiddle with her pajama bottoms. Everytime Jude had to fight with his zodiac it was an exhausting battle. Both physically and mentally. He had bags under his eyes already and just looked defeated even though it had only been about 7 hours since. I didn't mean to scare you earlier.
The oldest of the group really did hate having the others see him in such a state especially Eden. God, did he hate it. Since being the oldest he felt he was responsible for keeping everyone safe even though it was usually Eden who showed it more than he did. Some protector he was. Then again he always felt the girl was better at being a hero than he was. Not that he cowers in the face of danger but because he has such tunnel vision when it comes to her. Maybe that's another reason he hates Bran so much. Not just because of how he entered their lives and took sudden interest in Eden but because he never thought that some guy other than himself.... could take his place so easily. Yeah, the two of them always argued. Like an old married couple the others would say but that was their thing. They fought then the next day everything was right as rain. I guess, Jude always thought no matter how old they got it would stay the same. He was wrong.
xxx
❝ And isn't it just so pretty to think
all along there was some Invisible string tying you to me? ❞ &&. ROMAN ❝ One single thread of gold tied me to you. ❞ Roman finds himself turning on his side looking at Aaron's door. His body was slightly curled into himself, like a ball. Even though being in Aaron's room felt somewhat safe despite Bran trespassing and snooping around, having Aaron in it made the purple haired male feel safe. But Roman did remember the look he thought he witnessed on Otto's face when he briefly glanced at him as Eden said he had a choice between her brothers rooms since Dylan was out since Cora was sleeping there before he turned to immediately grab onto Aaron, wrapping his arms around the male's torso quickly having made his choice. He didn't know what he saw on the grey-haired male's eyes but it was not happy that's for sure. He may, in the morning have to ask Otto. Eventually he falls asleep.
Notes. Yeahh boy is def not apologizing for the fight or being mean to Bran. |

EDEN Eden nodded to his words, keeping her gaze away. Aries made attempts to join the pair, but soon choose against it as he saw no way to get down with ease, so instead giving a tilt of his head in recognition of the apology and settled back to the pillows, but continued watching the pair at the door. But the girl was listening looking to him at the last of his words. She hesitanted but moved forward giving him a tight hug, a light blush on her face fr9m the nickname. It had been ages since she had heard that one spoken from his lips. But the hug only lasted for a few seconds. " Its...its okay. I understandwhy you acted the way you did," she said. She was angry with Naomi too, but she knew hers probably didn't match Jude's emotions. " I plan to talk with her about it...when the guests are gone." She looked to him, her gaze softer. " You...you arent in any pain anymore though...right?" It was no secret that she was willing to throw herself into danger for someone she cared about. Such as in the office when despite the danger of Jude, she had tried to help Naomi, to when she got in a fight back in middle school beating up a pair of boys that had been harassing Aaron. She was willing to leap without thinking if it meant protecting someone. But ahe also had the tendency to take care of others, making sure they ate and slept, and other basic things. She knew she was very much a "mom" in that regard. But Jude was the same, willing to protect others. Maybe outside of their fights, they way they acted feed into the married couple vibe the two gave off together. Sure majority of the time they never truly apologized, it was just one day they hated each other the next the two would be heading out together to do one thing or another, some unspoken spology said and done with and they were back to whatever their relationship was. Though she would never say it, she would never allow someone to replace anyone at the cottage, the people that lived in it with her, were to precious to her. So even if she had someone new come into her life, she always planned that it would be known that, thry weren't her top priority. AARON Aaron prior to being asleep, when he had finally recovered, had returned from the kitchen. Just for Eden to have jumped him and Otto in regards to where Roman could stay. He was thankful that he had the scarf covering his face as he usually did, otherwise he felt he would have died with how bad he had blushed when Roman had grabbed him. |

Good. But I plan on being there for that talk too. We are a team after all. Jude then looks down at Eden with a soft gaze at her concern for him. No, I'm alright. He responds gently his hand reaching out and brushing some loose hair behind her ear only to then remove himself away from the white haired girl though he really wanted to pull her back into a hug and make his way over to her bed, moving some of her extra pillows she had for decoration to the floor. He then proceeded to pull back the covers only to pause and turn and walks right past Eden only to return moments later with a faded band tee grasped in his hands, he stops to pull it on over his head after doing so he reaches out and grabs Eden by her hand puling her to her bed and pushes her down onto the side of the bed she usually sleeps on, he then starts to make his way over to the other side only to pause and lightly stroke Aries on hi s head before getting comfortable in Eden's bed. He lets out a yawn yet he glances at Eden. I'm not letting you sleep alone while that- his eyes his glance away from her and they narrow, his fists clenching. f-cker still here. his voice low and slightly shaky. Jude blinks a few times chasing away the sudden anger before looking back at Eden. Besides I also know you haven't been sleeping lately. He narrows his eyes slightly teasing towards her. A charmingly smile spreads across his face as he leans towards her, his face mere inches from hers. I may still be mad at you but I still care about your well-being. Jude reaches up and presses his lips to the girl's forehead letting them rest there for almost a minute before pulling away and turning over to go to sleep.

EDEN "Of course, I wasn't going to exclude you from being apart of it," she said to him. She tilted her head when he moved to go into her room, about to ask what he was doing when he tossed the other pillows to the ground, but he was already walking back out of her room. She was about to head to pick up the pillows, when he had returned and grabbed her hand. Letting out a sigh she let herself be pulled as she followed to her bed. She settled on the side she liked, she wasn't certain why she had insisted on the left of any bed really, that was just the only place she seemed to be able to sleep on. She watched him confused as he settled on the opposite side. Aries stirred slightly in his spot on the bed, tilting his head at Jude, outside of Eden, the shark was about the only other person the crow seemed to like, or at least allow to touch him. She wanted to scold him for his comment about Bran. But choose against it, things seemed somewhat normal at least between the two of them, even if he was still angry over their fight at the party. "I'll sleep later," she told him. Granted she always said 'later' to things that came to her well being. But sleep was one that she truly struggled with. She had mentioned it in the past to Dr. Minerva, and he had worked with her to find out she dealt with insomnia, though she had kept to truly share that with the others outside of Aaron. A bright blush flashed across her face as he pressed a kiss to her forehead. Shifting to have her back to Jude, Aries moved from his spot and settled against her neck, the bird tucking himself under her chin before falling asleep. |

The next morning Jude blinks open his eyes and stretches only to turn his head with a yawn to see a sleeping Eden. He finds himself just staring at her with a soft look on his face. Only for him to inwardly sigh knowing things between them won't fully go back to normal until he finds a way to get Bran out of her life. That guy was definately ruining his chances with Eden though if he was being honest with himself he was doing that pretty well himself. Not showing that he genuinely likes her more than a friend, that was definately on him and he needed to show Eden more. But for now he was focused on helping Amity and trying to keep the others safe and trying to find a way to break the curse. Jude eventually gets up out of Eden's bed and quietly leaves the girls' room hoping that she will at least sleep a bit longer.
Jude makes his way downstairs his mood instantly souring upon seeing that Bran was still here and seeing Naomi who was seated by Dylan and Cora. Cora happily lifting her head and cheerfully lets out a, Good morning, Jude! I made oatmeal for everyone this morning! The red head grins lightly waving her spoon at him. Jude avoids looking at any of them and starts making his way to the kitchen for oatmeal but also muttering a thanks to Cora. Sure the skunk did annoy the shark and sure sometimes he did yell at her but she along with Eden were the only two he actually was nice to. Or at least attempted to be outside of a certain pretty crow who he was always more gentle and sweet too. After Jude got his food he knew once stepping back into the living room, he was not sitting with Naomi and definately not Bran.
His pretty blue eyes flick over to where Roman was sitting, he had to stop himself from laughing. The poor boy looked almost uncomfortable wedged between Aaron and an unhappy Otto. Roman had wanted to just sit with Aaron that morning but Otto had decided he wanted to sit with him even though his brother was already sitting beside him so before Roman knew it he was shoved into the fox's side as the snow leopard forced himself into the right side of Roman. Jude decided to sit in the other armchair instead.

OTHERS Eden had managed to fall asleep a little past midnight, but had woken up a few periods of the night. She didn't stir when Jude got up. Instead simply shifting how she was lying and snuggling further into the sheets. Aries had woken up and had managed to the floor, the crow walking around and investigating about the room, giving Jude a curious look before resuming his investigating of a sock. Bran waved to Jude giving the other man a smile. " Morning, oatmeal is pretty good," He said, offering a smile to Naomi. He looked to the door with a tilt of his head. " Eden's not up yet? Should I go wake her?" He wasn't bothered when Jude left instead letting his attention go back to the group in the kitchen. Dylan didn't mind Bran, the guy seemed fine. He took a bite of his oatmeal. " I think this is a first that she's slept this last. Usually she's up by now so maybe," Dylan said with a shrug. "Though maybe her sleeping in would do her some good." Dylan knew how hard she worked taking care of everyone, never hurts to let her have a day of sleeping in.Aaron had settled on the couch. He offered Roman a smile when the other had joined him. He had attempted to greet Otto but his brother had simply ignored him, as the younger boy forced his way to sit on the other side of Roman. Aaron casted his gaze to the bowl, his appetite slowly waning due to the atmosphere. Eventually Aaron needed an escape, setting the half eaten bowl on an end table he stood up. " Sorry," He apologized and quickly hurried out of the room, settling for lingering just out in the hall, watching the storm outside continue to happen. |

An hour or two goes by, Amity and Roman ended up leaving the cottage. Amity, because her friends wanted her to go to the mall and Roman because his parents needed him at the bakery. Unfortuantely for Roman he didn't get a chance to talk to Otto like he wanted but he knew possibly he would be back later in the day. Jude meanwhile had decided to go back upstairs and wake up Eden. Jude did hope that by the time Eden and him got downstairs that Bran would be gone.
Jude gently opens Eden's door sighing happily at seeing the girl was still asleep. Good. She needed this rest. He then makes his way over to her bed and crouches down beside her sleeping figure and reaches out and gently shakes her. Eden. he whispers softly.

OTHERS Once Roman left Otto went to his room, and hadn't returned from it, Aaron briefly went upstairs but soon returned and settled on a couch to read one of his books. Dylan had settled in a chair watching a random movie that was currently playing on one of the channels. Bran had settled to watch the movie, but was on his phone more then he was actually watching the movie. Eden mumbled as she pressed her face into a pillow, mumbling about five more minutes. But soon reality hits her and she quickly sets up. " Sh-t what time is it," she asked rather panicked. She hadn't intended on sleeping in as late as she did, guilt was starting to claw at her. Aries walked about the room, tilting his head as his attention went to the duo at the bed. |

Jude finds himself softly chuckling at Eden. Relax, Feathers. He says through his laughter. Jude pushes himself to his feet and finds himself reaching out to smooth Eden's bed hair. It's 10 am. You needed the rest. He removes his hand from her hand to flick her in the forehead with a glare on his face, Besides ogres need more beauty rest than others. He states yet a teasing glint in his eyes. Jude then turns around and starts to leave her room careful not to step on Aries. Get dressed. We gotta talk to Naomi. As he exits the white-haired girls room, he mumbles. Hopefully Bran will be gone by now.
Notes. will possibly be longer once they have a talk with Naomi

Eden relaxed under his touch, running her hand through her own hair. "Still, you should have woken me up," she muttered, getting out of her bed. She glared at him a bit, but no hositlity was behind it. "If that's the case, maybe you should get back to bed." She looked over to Aries, as the crow had come and presented a sock to trade. "I'll meet you down there." She waved him off, following to close the door, and to take the sock from the crow as he continued to now follow her around the room, till he was gifted with a walnut. When she finished changing she headed down the stairs. She took a note of not seeing Roman nor Amity around any more, and not any sign of Bran either.

As soon as Jude got downstairs he walks past the others in the living room only to reach out and grab a bunch of Naomi's brown hair, twisting his hand into a tight fist and yanks her off of the chair she was sitting in. Of course, the girl lets out a yelp. Jude! is really the only thing she can say as the temperamental tiger shark drags the now shouting brunette into the office pretty easily, going to the gym really did seem to help the shark out a lot and always helped in his favor. He still doesn't say a thing and basically flings Naomi onto the futon that was in the makeshift office. Naomi scrambles up into a sitting position now rubbing at her head groaning and grumbling.
Notes. would have been longer but couldn't really think if how to start interrogating Naomi.

sorry for poofing had stuff going on irl, ended up getting rejected from a program i need to continue my education degree, but still able to graduate just with my english degree, i'll get my response up today if you still want to continue) EDENEden cleaned herself up as best she could, planning to just shower in the evening as she headed downstairs, Aries perched on her shoulder. She caught the fleeting figures as Jude dragged Naomi off to the office. Moving to quickly drop Aries off in the care of a confused Aaron, ignoring any complaints that he tried to form, before leaving to join the pair that was in the office, closing the door behind her and locking it to ensure that no one would come in to interrupt. She gave a glance to Naomi as the girl sat on the futon. |
