"Other than a pounding headache, yeah I'm fine," Belle assured the girl. She reached over with a slight smirk and ruffled Riverpaw's hair.
"Other than a pounding headache, yeah I'm fine," Belle assured the girl. She reached over with a slight smirk and ruffled Riverpaw's hair.
Riverpaw closed her eyes and leaned into Belle's hand. "You sure? I have stuff that'll help with that." She mumbled.
"I'm sorry," Meun mumbled on instinct. He wandered over to the sink, grabbing a cup and filling it with water before taking one of the pills from the bottle he was still holding
Belle raised her eyebrows. "Do you?"
Rigel stood and stretched, yawning. He tugged his phone out of his pocket, pulling up google maps. He had a lot to do today, and he was already planning his route. His motivations were enough to make his head turn from a sleepy, foggy, previous drugged brain into a well functioning cluster of ticking gears powered by thoughts.
"What are you apologizing for? You've done nothing wrong." August said softly, walking forward and putting his hand on Meun's shoulder gently.
Colden walked to the living room, "Hey Rigel." he said as he saw Rigal on the couch.
Riverpaw peeked from under Belle's hand, her eyes narrowed playfully. "I've known you for almost three years, of course I do."
Belle snorted and gently shoved Riv so that the younger girl nearly fell off the bed.
"Well, go get it, then!" she exclaimed playfully.
Riverpaw giggled, grabbing the bed to balance herself, and swung her legs over the side. She stood up and stretched, and Tsunami finally awoke and looked up at her. "Be right back." She said to both of them as she headed for the door.
"I just…I feel like I'm bothering you," Meun mumbled, looking off to the side a bit sheepishly as he spoke. "I've done nothing but be annoying, and you're just…really, really nice, and I don't want you to have to deal with my dumb problems."
Belle closed her eyes and leaned back. Gosh, what had she been thinking? She shouldn't have drank any of the spiked punch, but… It had helped her with getting distracted from her thoughts…
"You're not bothering me, I promise." He reached up, brushing Meun's cheek with his thumb. "And your problems aren't dumb."
Riverpaw walked into the living room, waving to Rigel and Colden as she went to the kitchen. She looked through the fridge, hoping the ginger she had hidden in there was still untouched. She still wasn't sure if Belle liked ginger; in her own experiences, most people didn't, but this included a bit of magic and she'd been wanting to try it out for a while now.
Meun pursed his lips as he looked up at August. "I…thank you," he murmured before leaning up and pecking August's cheek gently
August's face heated up. "You're welcome? Do you want to go out to the others?"
"Yeah, probably," Meun said, smiling a little dorkily at how red August's face got
Belle flinched. She'd fallen back asleep, but it wasn't helping her. A dream – more like a nightmare – of a memory haunted her.
A much younger-looking Belle stood in the middle of an elaborately decorated living room, directly across from a tall, well-built man with dark brown hair and green eyes. He was shouting something at her, and she could smell the alcohol on his breath. A sharp snapping sound accompanied a harsh pain on her cheek, and the girl but her lip to keep from crying out. She'd learned long ago that it was better to hold it in than to show her pain, as the man would only hurt her more if she did.
"Do not talk to that boy – or any boy – again. Do you understand?" he growled.
Young Belle nodded. "Yes, father. I understand," she whispered.
(oh hecc some Belle backstory up in here)

(smiles evilly
That's not even the half of it…)
(all characters have a past and back stories just you don't know them much)
(Yeah I know. I'm planning on having someone from August's past cough cough his twin sister cough cough show up at some point to cause havoc and throw him emotionally out of balance)
August reached forward and held Meun's hand with his own, pulling him out of the room. Honestly, he had no idea how the others would react to the two of them falling asleep in a bathtub the way they did.
(oof yeah, I was also considering someone from Meun's past showing up and exposing him for not being what he says he is)
Meun smiled happily as August took his hand. He swung their hands faintly, following August out of the bathroom
(huh…I am now tempted to jump on this bandwagon and have River break down about her parents at some point… >->)
Riverpaw turned away from the things on the counter she had taken out, and smirked at August and Meun. "Heeeeyyy~" She mused.
"No." August responded, refusing to look her in the eye. "Shush."
