“Yeah, that’s what I’m asking,” Noel whispered back, though rather snappishly. “How could he have gotten away? But eh, I suppose you wouldn’t know anyway. Maybe he has some sort of special ability, like August’s invisibility.”
Alister chuckled at Matteo’s attempt at modesty, and how his request implied that he may be hungry after all. “I don’t, but I can get you another one if you’d like. Or you could help me eat my mashed potatoes.”
He then caught Evan’s smile, and he found himself thinking about how pretty it looked on his face. Then he started thinking about how pretty Evan’s face looked in general.
She blinked for a moment, almost if pausing. She stopped petting the spinx for a few seconds before going back to stroking the fur.
Friend?..
She did see the sincerity in his eyes, among other things.
"You…consider me your friend?…" She didn't mean for it to come out that way, but she didn't really ever have friends. Or someone she felt she could trust.
So this was new to her.
She looked away from him holding her arm, "I guess I could stay A while.." she muttered, though he could probably still hear her.

"right, well I'm gonna go get some food I'm starved man." Just pretend he didn't get food already akdjdjdj he walked over to the food table, somehow roped into help serving.
The guy who should have been helping serving walked over to noel, leaning on the table.
"hey good looking you use all those arms for anything other then fighting?~" he winked at her, grinning flirtatiously at her. He looked much much older then her, like pervert ew.
When noel got up he begán to follow after her before eventually pinning her to the wall and putting a hand up next to her head.
"come on gorgeous talk to me~ i want to see what those hands can really do~" he grinned at her.
Evan was smiling at Alister until his expression turned slowly into a very upset position.
He had caught sight of the two of them.
Matteo was happily eating his mash potatoes.
Noel rolled her eyes as Trent left. He even eats like a wolf.
She went back to eating her food when she realized she'd forgotten to get a drink and was feeling thirsty. She had just gotten up when she noticed a guy walking towards her. Her chest seized up. Not him again. She remained silent at his catcall, her expression hardening as she made her way to the table with the cups of water. Apparently ignoring him wasn't enough, because she noticed him following her and tried to get off his tail. She thought she could escape out of the cafeteria and wait till he was gone, but he was too quick. Pinned against the wall, she wanted to kick him in the groin, but she knew it was no use. Every time she tried to move, she felt pressure on her muscles, forcing them to stay still. Just this guy's luck he has that stupid ability.
"Connor," she scowled. "I am second in command of this rebellion, and I ordered you to stay away from me. You disobeyed. You're going to be kicked out for this."
Meanwhile, Alister ate with Matteo, watching Evan absentmindedly. For a moment, he didn't even notice when Evan shifted his gaze somewhere past him, but as he watched his expression change, he realized something was wrong. He turned to see what Evan was looking at and froze. What was that guy doing with-
He shot to his feet, blood roaring in his ears. He waited to see if Noel would do anything, but if that guy laid a finger on her, he would be fully willing to give him a lesson he wouldn't forget.

She looked away from him holding her arm, "I guess I could stay A while.." she muttered, though he could probably still hear her.
He found himself smiling at her. For some reason she looked so adorable at this moment, it was a wonder that she tried to kill him yesterday.
"Oui!" he exclaimed. He wanted to give her a hug, but he didn't think she would like that, so he reached over and gave her head pats. It now occurred to him how tiny she was compared to him. "Tu es mon ami."
Then he chuckled at her words. "Whatever you're comfortable with, yeah? They're still going to interrogate you."
(I'm gonna make it canon)
"Hey!" She huffed at him when reached over to have her headpats though she would deny enjoying them if asked.
"just because your pretty doesn't mean you can just do whatever you want!' she yelled at him, not realizing what had slipped out before it was too late.
"wait No-" she immediately regretted it and is now going to deny any attempt that says she just said that.
"I know that!" She snapped at him from being a bit flustered.
Noel rolled her eyes as Trent left. He even eats like a wolf.

(This disgusts me aidjdjf I'm angy at connor)
He smirks at her, moving brush his hand against her face, and reaching up to tuck a strand of her behind her ear.
"well then i guess i better enjoy it before I'm kicked out then huh?~ i know you want me~" (I'm Litterally disgusted)
He whispered into her ear up close, before pulling back and smirking at her.
He planted a quick kiss on her cheek.
Evan quickly got up as well, under his shadowed eyes was an expression of pure fury. That guy was obviously older then her and had no right to be touching her, last time he held back.
This time, he wouldn't be so kind.
He stormed over to Connor making sure only connor could hear, ""THATS ENOUGH!"
Connor flinched immediately moving to cover his ears, he let out a chuckle and went in to kiss Noel but wasn't able to because Evan round house kicked Connor in the head.
"What in the pea sized idiot brain made you think that in any parallel universe that this would be okay?!" Other people could hear it now, he wasn't paying attention to who was listening and who wasn't. He was beyond pissed and he was going to finally be able to do something.
"She is nowhere near your age you sick pervert!" He growled at Connor, he was sitting in the ground and scouting back holding his head, ears bleeding slightly but evan made sure he could hear him.
A cold fear chilled Noel’s blood when he smirked, but she refused to let it show. She wanted to desperately slap his hand away from her hair, to punch him in the lips before he could plant them on her cheek, but she couldn’t. Her skin crawled. She wanted to move, to get away, but she was powerless, and she hated it. She hated him. Why couldn’t he just leave her alone? She’d rather take on the aliens than him.
Then suddenly Connor flinched, and Noel saw Evan storming over, Alister close behind. The moment Evan’s foot connected with Connor’s skull, she could move again, and she immediately rushed to her brother. He held her close, both of them deciding to leave Evan to deal with Connor when they heard the almost inhuman volume of his shouts.
At the table where they had been sitting, August, Emery, Charlie, and Vixen, who had now gathered around Emery’s hologram, had caught attention to the scene. August motioned the siblings over, and they made their way over to the table. Charlie got up and went over to Evan in Connor, just in case things got out of hand.
“Who is he?” Alister’s voice was deadly calm.
Noel shuddered. “Conner Smith. H-he was supposed to be serving food. He was supposed to stay away. He was supposed to- to-“
“He will never come near you ever again. Evan and I will make sure of that.”
He was breathing heavily in and out, he put a hand on his face before turning back to connor, trying to scoot away. He went and he grabbed connor by the back of his shirt, and he dragged him towards the gate, connor finally remembered to use his ability but due to the probable concussion that evan gave him, evan forced his way through connors ability all the way to the entrance and threw him out,
"DON'T COME BACK YOU SICK FREAK!" Connor was litterally shaking, "you better be greatful im smart enough not to hurt you badly, because I want too. If you even try to give away any information about the rebellion, i can and will come back for you."
He turned to leave, and connor tched getting up and connor threw a punch at the back of evans head. Evans stumbled forward, and connor smirked before Evan turned and pelted Connor across the face. His wrist getting coated slightly in connors blood, only because he gave connor a bloody nose.
He stormed all the way back to where everyone was, still slightly clenching his fists.
He walked over to Noel. "are you okay noel?"
"Hey!" She huffed at him when reached over to have her headpats though she would deny enjoying them if asked.
"just because your pretty doesn't mean you can just do whatever you want!' she yelled at him, not realizing what had slipped out before it was too late.
"wait No-" she immediately regretted it and is now going to deny any attempt that says she just said that.
"I know that!" She snapped at him from being a bit flustered.
Malachi stopped, his eyes widening. Then a smirk creeped up on him, and he was seized with laughter. He had to kneel over for a moment to recover. When at least he had calmed himself, the smirk remained.
“So the chat noir thinks the panthère noire is pretty, eh?”
She just continued to get redder and redder as he laughed up until the point of him stopping laughing.
"What?! No! I never said that i don't think your pretty! SHUT UP!"
she blushed red, incredibly flustered as she tried to pull her hair to cover her face while she was yelling at him.
He busted out laughing again upon seeing her flustered and going red. "You just did!" he howled. Cackling, he said slyly, "And just because you're mignon et drôle doesn't mean I'll let you deny it."
The creature merely looked between them, tilting her head and observing. They continued walking as they talked, District 6 eventually disappearing from sight.
(SCREAMS HE CALLED HER CUTE ANF FUNNY!)

He stormed all the way back to where everyone was, still slightly clenching his fists.
He walked over to Noel. "are you okay noel?"
Everyone who was in the cafeteria was now making glances in their direction and murmuring amongst themselves. Charlie gave up after Evan screamed at Connor for the last time, overwhelmed by the power of his voice. When Evan brought him to the prison gates, Danni and the other guards followed close behind, making sure that Connor didn't retaliate when he recovered and shutting the gates behind them. They all knew of Connor's disgusting advances toward Noel, and immediately knew it must have happened once again.
Back inside, a small crowd had gathered around Alister and Noel, who still clung to her brother. The rebels were asking what exactly had happened, offering reassurance, and/or expressing their anger. Some of them also asked who Alister was since they weren't familiar with him. He only told them briefly who he was, trying to wave them off and let them go back to their business. It didn't help that a purple passionflower grew at the back of Alister's head, causing him to flush with embarrassment and worry for Evan. Only when Noel spoke up and dismiss them did the crowd disperse, and it was just then that Evan entered.
She smiled at him gratefully. "I'm better, at least. Now that he's gone."
Alister smiled at him as well. "You took care of him?"
(SCREAMS HE CALLED HER CUTE ANF FUNNY!)
(SJSJSDJK hahahahah I'm so proud of myself for bringing it back-)
He busted out laughing again upon seeing her flustered and going red. "You just did!" he howled. Cackling, he said slyly, "And just because you're mignon et drôle doesn't mean I'll let you deny it."
The creature merely looked between them, tilting her head and observing. They continued walking as they talked, District 6 eventually disappearing from sight.
"mignon rt drole?! What the hell does that evan mean?!" Haha evan. "I did NOT say uou- you know what i mean! I didn't say it and you can't prove that i said it!' she flusteredly screamed at him only getting redder as she turned her face away from Malachi crossing her arms.
Evan smiled back at him, and then at Noel, giving her gentle headpats with his non bloodied hand.
"yeah. I did. He won't come back." It's funny because that phrase is very like concerning and threating but evans just me sunshine and smiles as he says it.
"I'm just glad to finally be rid of him."
Trent just had his jaw wide open quickly rushing over to Noel.
"Noel are you okay? Are you hurt? Do I need to go beat him up?"
He was genuinely worried even though evan took care of it all.
Matteo was currently hidding under the table eating his mashed potatoes.
"mignon rt drole?! What the hell does that evan mean?!" Haha evan. "I did NOT say uou- you know what i mean! I didn't say it and you can't prove that i said it!' she flusteredly screamed at him only getting redder as she turned her face away from Malachi crossing her arms.
He let her demand go unanswered, only smiling devilishly. Then he gestured to the creature. “Well, I have a witness.”
The sphinx blinked at them. Arden, 1:38 pm. Quote: “Just because you’re pretty doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want.” Unquote.
She nodded, seeming to finally relax and sighing with relief. Chuckling a little at the head pats, she said, "That's good." She glanced over to Trent. "I'm not hurt, but I'm not sure if I'm… okay. I just want to forget this ever happened. But I appreciate your concern." Though her voice was calm, her eyes looked dulled and shaken. She still clung to her brother, whose eyes drifted between Noel and Evan. There was a slight tinge of pink to his cheeks.
"T-that was really cool, um, h-how you kicked him in the head," Alister said shyly. "And your wounds didn't hurt?"
"mignon rt drole?! What the hell does that evan mean?!" Haha evan. "I did NOT say uou- you know what i mean! I didn't say it and you can't prove that i said it!' she flusteredly screamed at him only getting redder as she turned her face away from Malachi crossing her arms.

The sphinx blinked at them. Arden, 1:38 pm. Quote: “Just because you’re pretty doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want.” Unquote.
She immediately turned to look at The spinx in alarm, "Wha- But- how could you take his side?!"she got a huge high pitch voice crack, her face bright red, it was a wonder she wasnt steaming.
Malachi barked with laughter, as it had seemed to him that what followed after he spoke was only a moment of silence before Arden shouted at the sphinx. He knew she was outnumbered, and it was entertaining him greatly.
She tilted her head at Arden, confused. But that is what you said, is it not? Are you so in denial that what is known fact is mere opinion to you?
Grinning helplessly, Malachi gave her another head pat. “Ohh, the chat noir seems more like a chat rouge now. You’re so adorable when you’re flustered, but you don’t need to get too worked up about this, yeah?”
(IM DYING HE SAID IT IN A LANGUAGE SHE COULD UNDERSTAND)
MAN DOWN MAN DOWN!!!
She was barely okay at the headpats, but when he called her cute, sorry, adorable when flustered she litterally overheated and fainted on the spot into a red flustered mush puddle.
Malachi better have quick reaction time because she falling.
She nodded, seeming to finally relax and sighing with relief. Chuckling a little at the head pats, she said, "That's good." She glanced over to Trent. "I'm not hurt, but I'm not sure if I'm… okay. I just want to forget this ever happened. But I appreciate your concern." Though her voice was calm, her eyes looked dulled and shaken.

"T-that was really cool, um, h-how you kicked him in the head," Alister said shyly. "And your wounds didn't hurt?"
Evan blushed a little bit as well, putting a hand on his neck.
"i mean it doesn't really matter if they hurt or not, in the moment all that mattered was getting him away from noel." He smiled shyly at Alister.
"thanks though..i think your cool too."
Trent was worried at the look he saw in noels eyes and looked at Alister.
"I know i don't have to say this but, just take care of her okay? I don't know if I have much to offer in this department." He rubbed his neck, looking away.
Matteo be vining.
Fun fact: Malachi does not have a quick reaction time, at least at times like these. When he realized she was going to fall, it was too late. He tried to catch her, but he was too slow and his hands slipped. His helpless grin turned into a wide, very concerned and not at all happy smile. When she landed on the ground, he let the smile drop while he picked up her small body in his arms.
“Aww,” he said in dismay, “I broke her.”
