Eden let out a short, barking laugh at that. Sometimes bad humor was simply the best humor, especially in dark times such a these.
They leaned into the couch, feeling a lot more comfortable with everyone and well-prepared to socialize properly now that all the disgusting, messy feelings were out of the way.
Sherlock had been silent through everything, a little unsure where they had gone so wrong. "Eden, I am…sorry, if what I said offended or hurt you. I was curious, and did not think of how my curiosity could have hurt you."
Eden's face turned sorrowful at that. "Curiosity is not a sin. The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven." they said sadly.
Sherlock blinked quickly. "I– oh. Alright." They said slowly, biting their lip for a moment. They didn't know what to make of Eden's words, but didn't say anything more.
Mina wiped away her tears, trying to take deep breaths. She thought she should say something in response to Lo, but she was emotionally spent. She smiled at Alek, Sherlock and Eden’s exchange, but stayed silent.
Jonathan rocked her back and forth. She felt it was only a little childish; he used to do this when they were still dating, but it was comforting nonetheless.
“I think we should talk to Van Helsing later,” he said.
She took another breath. “That’s a good idea. We might need his help. Ahh,” a thought came to her. “Maybe we should’ve asked Moriarty for garlic.”
He shrugged, still rocking. “It’s alright. Shutting the windows and doors should be enough.”

(yes)
(and shitty parental figures lmao)
(exactly)
(I swear Victor will get better, I'm pushing for him to get over his shit and accep Eden. And the others.)
(he better, I was about ready to throw hands while reading through what I missed)
(Go ahead and throw those hands.)
"We should retire to our rooms, I think. It is getting late, and if we are to be prepared to face a new day we should get some rest." Eden suggested, heaving their large frame off of the couch. They were feeling tired, and likely the others were too, so heading to bed would probably be best.
(Btw when/what is their first assignment going to be?)
(I'm not quite sure yet. I was thinking of giving them a day or two to settle in and get use to each other, and then having the Clay Man do something?)
(ooh neat.)
(I know it’s annoying but I don’t want this to die so… boop!)
(Hey it’s fine, I don’t want this to die either. School has just not been doing any favors for me)
(Oh I get it man.)
(hey, sorry! Between school and parents I don't get much time to actually respond to this, my apologies)
Sherlock nodded a little bit. "Yeah. I think a good night's sleep would do us all good." they stretched, closing their eyes for a moment, then reopening them again.
Alek shrugged faintly. He wasn't tired, and likely would be up for most of the night anyways.
(hnn also I made an Aesthetic board for Alek: Aleksandar Monpezat)
(Neat!)
(:D thanks!)
(I know y’all are probably busy but nobody’s like, responded-responded in three days and I’m sorry for being overexcited but I Just Am, sorry if this is annoying.)
((would skipping to the next day be a good idea, or should we have some heading into night time chill scenes real quick?))
