Abby simply smiled even as Amora told her to shut up. She didn't really care what she said to her, although Abby could feel Cole tense up behind her. Abby turned to smile cheerfully at her brother.

"It's okay, Cole, it was a stupid thing to ask," Abby admitted with a giggle. Cole still spared a scowl at Amora but relaxed a little. He wouldn't want to hurt one of Abby's 'friends' since they meant so much to her. Still, if any one of them hurt her he would have no hesitation and even Abby wouldn't be able to calm him down. As long as these two kept their hands off his sister, however, Cole found he had very little problem with them. They weren't idiots, which was saying something. Abby watched all this run through her brother's head and smiled. As long as he didn't mind them, she'd stay with the two. In her own way Abby protected Cole too, often leaving her companions if they got on Cole's nerves too often. It was usually why she did leave them, actually, or they left her and Cole.

"Oh, yeah, where are we going??" Abby asked excitedly, turning to the two girls.
