Snippet #2381211

Amber blinked with a little surprise as first Kalen hugged her and Arabella, and then Arabella hugged her and Aiden, but it was quickly replaced by a grin. It had been too long since she had seen them, really. She watched the twins being hugged, and glanced over everyone again. She didn't see them all that often; she spent much more time at home, and the others had their busy lives. So it was nice to have a chance to see all of them like this, even if it was at their old school.

"Hello, Kalen, Arabella," she greeted as she was hugged. She made sure to return the hugs; she really was relieved to have time away from the house, and having friends there helped. She looked back to Desmond and shrugged. "Well, it was a chance to actually get out, at least." Perhaps she spent a little too much time at home, she thought, but shrugged it off. She glanced at Arthur, briefly examining the power he released before deciding to ignore it. Anyway, he seemed to want to greet his friend Rayburn more. She only gave a brief glance to Kage as he approached the twins.

She shook her head at Shad's comment, though. She couldn't really say anything, though; she had very little knowledge on the council. She knew Aiden had retrieved artifacts for some of them, but that was about the limit of her knowledge. Still, she greeted both him and Star with a smile. Even if he had taken her blood when they were in high school, she still considered him a friend. She just had to ignore her brother saying she was insane for that.

"It's nice to see everyone again. I missed hanging out with you all."



Arlayna watched everyone greet each other, hiding behind her brother the entire time. She vaguely recognized some of the others there; they didn't get many visitors at home. She hesitated and looked as Kage brought Cici over towards them. She gripped Adriens sleeve tightly, but figured it would be rude not to greet him, since he had spoken to them first. She paused, taking a deep breath before answering in a quiet voice.

"...Hello..." At least she made an effort, she thought. She only hoped she had been loud enough for him to hear, because sge really didn't want to repeat herself. Then she'd just feel ridiculous, and her shyness would only get worse.
