Celeste smiled at Rhen as she went to leave. Her hand reached out to grab her partner's wrist, just so she could lightly caress the skin there as a means of saying goodbye. Seeing the woman on the bike, that to any unknowing person would seem twice the power she could handle, just made Celeste smile. She knew better. She knew that the power Rhen held...made the bike look like a scooter. Still, Rhen on a bike? Hot.<br/><br/>Her attention quickly turned back to Rivers and she smiled at him again. The persuasion seemed to have helped calm him and that was progress. "There's actually four of us that live here full-time. There are others that filter in and out or are here during the day. They are comfortable or feel safer living elsewhere," She paused and it was clear that she didn't truly believe living somewhere else would<i>ever</i>be safer. "There's me and my partner, Rhen, who you just met. Nadia, who you will meet shortly I'm sure...and Christopher. He's the newest before you so he's still getting used to being here and around others."<br/><br/>With a smile, she put a hand to his arm, her nails blackening slightly as she silently put a protection spell over him. That way, even if he turned and ran away he'd be protected for a little while. It was the least she could do for him being brave enough to show up. "Come inside for a bit and I'll show you around." As they walked back to the door, Celeste couldn't help but laugh at the question.<br/><br/>"That was Libby. She's one of the girls that doesn't live here, but she studies here. It's...new." She nodded but smiled at the other. "We all start somewhere. Rhen is working with her, though, and these things happen."
