Sparrow sighed. "Let's head over to Uriah and see what's taking Cyrua so long." She laughed.
Nathan was sitting at the table poking the top when Esmae walked over. "Not much, I'm bored so I'm going to find someone to talk to." He said shortly and walked away from the group. He walked over to the snacks table and brightened at the sight of blackberries. He took a few and put them.in his mouth when another young boy, with a chocolate covered strawberry in hand, appeared. The boy froze and looked at Nathan like a deer in headlights. "Um, hi? Dont mind me, just eating all the snacks. My name is Magnus Ellis, most people call me Mage or Ellis. Who are you?" He asked. Nathan swallowed his berry and grinned. "I'm Nathaniel Jacks but most people call me Nathan or Nate. Nice to meet you Magnus."
Luna gave a slight laugh, "Yeah. Maybe his knee got locked up?"
"Oh poor Cyrus." Sparrow laughed
(On a side note, does anyone know where Bec is? She was online this morning but idk)
(No clue.)
Luna had a smile on her face as she walked over, "Hopefully not though."
She smiled and stopped once they reached Uriah
Esmae could guess what the talk was going to be about. Aaron was easy to read, or at least to her he was. Once Nathan was gone it was a bit awkwardly. "Do you want to talk now? Since Nathan left and I don't see Vida anywhere." It would be best if it was over with quickly. She wanted it to happen, then maybe she could move on, maybe find someone better.
Katya gave her a nod. Her emotions started getting worked up and her words came out in a quick blur to anyone who didn't know Katya well enough that they could comprehend her mutter talk. Thankfully, Esmae was one of the people who could understand them, "AaronlikesmebutIknowyoulikehimandIagreedtogettoknowhimbecauseIcan'tsaynotoanyoneandIreallydon'twanttobecausethatwouldbesteppingonyourcrushandI'mnotevensureifIlikeguysandnowI'minthissituation. Help?"
Luna walked up to Uriah with a smile, "Hello darling."
Esmae, cover her mouth, trying not to laugh. "It's fine. I knew he didn'tike me. I was just getting my hopes up. This is what I needed to get over him. And if you don't want to get to know him just tell him, although he is a good guy. And, you never told me you might like girls." Esmae whispered the last part making sure Katya was that only one who heard.
Uriah had just been caught up in his thoughts and watching the girls, when Luna came up. "Oh Hi." He smiled back and kissed her forehead. He loved doing that, because she was short than him. "What's up?"
Katya felt her cheeks heat from embarrassment. She gave Esmae a little look, "I don't know yet okay? It's just I'm not super interested and guys and every other girl my age is getting week-long boyfriends. Besides girls are cute. And, uh, I'm glad I could help you I guess."
Luna gave a little giggle as Uriah kissed her forehead. She glanced over to where the two girls were, "Nothing much, we were just talking that's all. Has Cyrus shown up yet?"
(Sorry, I’ve been hella busy today. I’ll reply when I get home)
Uriah followed her gaze and smiled. "It looks like the girls are getting along." It wasn't like they weren't, but they didn't talk much, so maybe coming to this party was good for them.
Esmae scanned the room there were a lot of girls here. Some from Panther's guild and others from White Wing. "Do see one that's cute to you?" Esmae wanted to help, if she could be useful to Katya and help her understand herself more, she would. As she looked she caught the eye of Caleb. She made a sound she couldn't really describe and looked away.
Katya looked around the room. She saw few that she would maybe find cute, one of them she would never actually tell because that would make a lot of things a lot of awkward. She gave a little nod to Esmae, "I see a couple yeah. What do you see someone?"
Luna had a smile on, "Yeah. I'm happy to see Katya talking to people. She's so quiet. Esmae's managed to adjust, but Katya. I don't know."
"Nathan has grown a lot since he first came to the guild, I actually think he may act like a normal 12 year old now." She smiled, looking around the crowd for him.
Magnus smiled and gestured to the strawberries. "Try one dipped in the chocolate, it tastes really good." He said, shoving one in his mouth. Nathan laughed and tried one himself before making a face. "Ew, how can you eat that? Its gross." Magnus made an offended face before turning his nose up "well then, we cant be friends." Nathan grinned and picked up a berry. "I guess not, nice meeting you!" He said and started walking away Magnus frowned and ran behind him. "W-wait! I didnt mean it! Your too cute!" Nathan stopped and blushed. "I am not!" He stated and crossed his arms, pouting
(How cute!!)
"Me, see someone? Hm, I see a big annoyance." She glared at Caleb, but all he did was smile and wink. Esmae's face turned a bit red before she went back to helping Katya. "Do you want me to investigate some of them for you?" She asked a huge smile on her face. She felt more sisterly, and since she was the oldest of course this was something she should do. She was he middle child of her old family. Esmae just realized that, that was the first time in two years she had thought about them.
"I wish Katya would open up more. I want her to feel like she can trust us and turn to us when she has problems." Uriah was always one to want people to open up. Hell, Luna practice hated him at first, but now they are married. He ran a hand through his hair and sighed.
"I feel the same way, Vida is more close to Cyrus than she is me so she normally goes to him. It's a good thing the kids have a good relationship with one another or else I fear they would have been mute." She laughed
Magnus shrugged and poke his cheek before smiling. "Mrs. Chester says I'm not a liar and I always tell the truth. You are cute, and your curly hair is very soft." He said poking a curl before Nathan batted his hand away. "You aren't hideous." He said and patted Magnus' cheek before laughing and running away. "Nathan!" He yelled laughing and chased after him
"Nothat'sfineyoudon'thavetodothat!" Katya squeaked out her cheeks a blush pink. She really didn't need that since she figured if she was attracted to females, and she was, she really only had eyes for one girl. But Esmae was trying to be nice, and maybe she should accept the help, "But, um if you want to I guess you can."
Luan gave a little sad nod and looked to Sparrow, "All the other kids seemed to have let go, I don't know why Katya is still holding on. Maybe she'll open up soon, we just have to wait Uriah."
"Maybe she doesnt want to forget her past life? I remember when we first came to Black Claw, I wanted to remember every aspect of my life with my parents and family." Sparrow said wistfully, trying to remember the faces of her parents.
(I'm really curious about this girl she likes.)
Esmae's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands together. "Yay. Okay what do you want me to do?" It was up to Katya, Esmae wasn't going to do anything she wouldn't like.
"True, but Katya isn't really close to either of us. Esmae does tend to lean towards me a little more, but I know she loves Luna as well." He sighed and pulled Luna closer. "You're right, we just have to be patient." They were whispering about something, and he hoped it wasn't troublesome.
"Maybe," Luna sighed, "But she has told us she remembers almost nothing of her previous life. Only a few flashes of memories from nightmares and flashbacks. It, hasn't been easy."
;)
Katya thought for a second, "You could, uh, I don't know. Ask them about me?"
(Just one hint, is it a character that we already know?)
"Will do." Esmae gave her a wink and headed off. She went around getting to know some of the girl. She didn't ask immediately, because that would be weird. First she into herself and start a casual conversation, then started to get into the deep stuff. The only problem was that Katya really tell her which girl she was injured in, so Esmae went around to try and talk to all of them.
(Yeah it is.)
Katya watched as Esmae went around to talk to the girls at the party. She bit her lip hoping Esmae wouldn't go up to the girl she liked, oh god that would be awful and embarrassing. Hopefully, Esmae wouldn't figure it out.
Cyrus has finally collected himself a bit and managed to step inside. He scanned the place for Uriah and Luna first.
Vida had already launched into action, bouncing from place to place and saying hi to people she used to know, introducing herself to those she didn’t. At least she seemed happy.
Nathan ran to where the adults were talking and hide in the middle of the group. "If Magnus asks, I'm not here." He said and stood still.
Sparrow laughed at his statement before shutting up because of the glare he gave her. She looked around to see a grey haired boy coming in their direction. "Hello miss, have you seen a curly hair boy named Nathan here? He said I wasn't hideous." The boy said.
Sparrow didnt know what to say. "He said…you weren't hideous?" She asked. The boy nodded and sparrow looked perplexed. Nathan snickered from behind her.
"Nathan I can hear you!" Magnus yelled and grabbed his arm, pulling him out
