Well, there was no avoiding it now. Alister looked down at his lap and tried to relax his shoulders. “Funny you should ask. We do.” There was no way he was going to admit that they were eavesdropping and planning on following them. “We just… stopped here since we didn’t know where else to go.”
"Well, that guy over there's offering..so you wanna come with us?" He put a hand on his neck as he chuckled nervously. "Oh btw i'm Finnegan."
Alister eyed the man still sitting with the girl in the booth. Looking back at the boy, he shrugged. “I suppose there’s no better option…” he looked at his sister, finding the same suspicious look on her face that he did. But she nodded, and Alister held out his hand to the boy. “I’m Alister. This is my sister, Noel.”
(just wondering if this died…)
(I'm waiting on the main person)
Finn smiled at alister and shook his hand.
"It's nice to meet you alister, and Noel. You wanna come sit with us so I can introduce you guys? Or you could introduce yourself, whatever works."
Alister shook his in return and nodded. “Sure…” hopefully this wouldn’t take too long. Noel needed sleep. He stood up, his sister standing with him, and they stayed close together as they let Finnegan take them to the man and the girl.
Frankie looked up when the trio approached, tilting her head slightly.
Lars raised a brow as he saw the boy bringing two more kinds over to their table. “Well, well, well… What's the story here?” he smirked playfully, leaning back in his seat as he tried to look friendly and mostly harmless.
"Well uhm..this is Alister and Noel. They need a place to stay and you said you had extra room."
Alister protectively put his arm around his sister. “If it’s no trouble,” he added. They both avoided looking directly at the man. Even if he looked friendly enough, it was too risky to trust him.
“Nice to meet you both.” he nodded. “It's no trouble if you need a place to stay for a while.” Lars assured the two. “I've got plenty of room. In fact, this is probably the most people I've had in my home at a time.” he chuckled softly.
“Thank you, then.” Alister nodded. Noel noticed the girl sitting near them and gave her a little wave.
He smiled softly as he heard him say yes, he moved to sit back down in the chair he had been earlier.
“Now that you're back, I do have a couple questions. Might as well as all of you if you're going to be staying with me.” he shrugged, straightening up a little. “Do any of you have any allergies or preferences?” he started. Though he wasn't sure if the two new kids were going to let him mentor them or not.
The siblings shook their heads. “No allergies, not that we know of,” Alister said.
“Mac n’ cheese,” Noel said. Despite being sleep deprived, she looked eager at the thought. “I love mac n’ cheese.”
“Pfft.” Alister shook his head and ruffled her hair, smiling softly.
He chuckled a little bit when he heard Noel, "I don't have any allergies either, and I don't really prefer anything food wise."He put a hand on his neck as he spoke, a hand clutched to his bag strap.
“Alright.” Lars nodded, chuckling at the younger girl's declaration. “Now… Is there anything else… special I need to know about you guys? I don't want to offend anyone or hit a sensitive topic, especially if you don't want to talk about it.”
(Imma wait for CW)
(ok)
((Hey y'all, sorry for the inactivity, I've been busy prepping for school))
Frankie fidgeted slightly, leg bouncing under the table as she listened.
(It's ok. School is taking everyone's time lately.)
(Yeah it's okay)
The siblings shared a look. Alister turned back to the man and shrugged. “Not really, I guess.” He messed with his hair, and Noel let out a yawn.
He looked a bit nervous as he glanced around the area, before putting on a nervous smile with a hand on his neck.
"Just..maybe don't bring up the topic of ex relationships?" He suggested. The though of them making him extremely nervous before he just played it off with a chuckle.
"If that's okay of course."
