Noah's remark on Reyna's chipper disposition drew , "I know it's not for everyone." Being unhappy and wallowing in self pity led to self destructive behavior on her part, so she made a conscious effort to exude positivity both for herself and those around her. Something she discovered that came as natural as breathing and she'd never gone back. Not to mention it helped balance out her train wreck of a brother, Bellamy. Just thinking of him was enough to threaten to sour her mood, and so she shoved all thoughts of him aside, focusing instead on Noah.<br/><br/>"I'll ask." She promised, her smile somewhat subdued as Noah went on. She wanted to reassure him that it would get better. But for all her bubbliness and optimism she din't make a habit of feeding other's false expectations. And so she didn't pursue the subject any further as Noah changed it.<br/><br/>Just then Dmitri stepped into the kitchen, eyes glued to the phone he was tapping madly away at as the last of Noah's words, "If you're so curious," pocketing the phone, his eyes trailed up to meet Noah's dark gaze, " why don't you ask him yourself."<br/><br/>Reyna piped up just then, "I'm going shopping tomorrow and I want Noah to come with...can he come with?"<br/><br/>Dmitri's smile was a slow tilt of amusement as he looked first to Reyna before returning to Noah, "It's barely been 24 hours and already you want leave." he nodded thoughtfully, "You wouldn't think of running would you? Leaving Reyna to be punished for your recklessness? How far do you think you would get before I caught you?" With each question, he stalked closer, "And say I allow you to go. How do you intend to repay my generosity?"
