Plum had woken up later than she usually would have sleeping in Ghost's bed, but she didn't realize how much later until she had opened her lone eye to see the time on the neon alarm clock on the side table. With a barely concealed whine of panic, Plum tried to figure out how she managed to sleep in. She shifted some, only to find that she was being held down some how. Upon investigation, she discovered the Ghost's arm was wrapped around her. Slowly she lifted his arm from around her, subtly retreating from the bed.<br/><br/>Once she was safely out of the bed without waking up Ghost, she took a moment to take in his form. In the dim light she could make out the serenity on his face, which caused her chest to tighten suddenly. She shook her head, tousling her already messy pink hair, and left as quietly and quickly as possible.<br/><br/>As Plum hurried her way to her room, she passed Brie. She, however, missed the shocked face Brie had dawned when she noticed Plum's neck.<br/><br/>_____<br/><br/>Cherry had popped Raz on the back of his head the moment he started to glow. He gave her a look and she couldn't help but look at him like he was a total dumb ass. When Raz came to his senses, he at least had the decency to blush. He then seemed to apologize in the language that Silas and Kallista spoke.<br/><br/>Kallista didn't look too impressed and went to speak, but Silas cut her off, "I would rather avoid my wife murdering the first real friends we've made since coming to this time." While his tone was calm, Cherry had a feeling that she would have to say goodbye to Raz if he lost his temper like that again. And maybe kiss her own ass goodbye, should Silas feel the sudden urge--if the aura in the room was anything to go by.<br/><br/>Kallista was none too pleased by Silas interrupting her, but she realized it was likely for the best as she had nothing kind to say in the slightest. Silas seemed more than a bit irritated--though outwardly he did not look very perturbed at all. She decided for the moment to keep her mouth shut and finish the meal. She doubted Silas was upset with her, but she was upset with herself. With that, she had officially withdrawn herself from conversation, and the whole table could sense it.<br/><br/>Time passed long enough that everyone had finished their meals. The atmosphere had lightened exponentially over time, though Kallista had still contributed as little as possible to the conversation.<br/><br/>"I'd say it's probably time to get the check, aye Raz?" Cherry stated, digging her elbow into Raz's side just for the hell of it. He easily batted her away and motioned for the waiter. "I think we could all use a drink once we get to the club," Cherry stated, and Kallista finally made a noise of agreement, "Yes. I wish to drink." Cherry gave a laugh, "You seem like it."<br/><br/>The bill was soon paid and they were on their way to the club. The walk was peaceful and quiet, something that Kallista was very happy for. The crowds of the inner parts of town had worn her patience thinner than it already was. Now, though, she was starting to feel a little better. She still was doubtful that Cherry and Raz could help them, but she trusted Silas.<br/><br/>As the group approached the club, Cherry dug into her pocket to get out her copy of the side door key. The club wouldn't open until later in the day, leaving it empty and perfect to have a private conversation. When they got to the door, Cherry unlocked it and held it open for everyone, failing to notice the man that was approaching in the distance. She followed in once everyone was inside, shutting the door behind her.<br/><br/>"So now what?" Cherry asked as she jumped over the bar to make drinks for everyone.<br/><br/>______<br/><br/>The shock was likely apparent on her face, Mira knew that--but she couldn't help  it. She was surprised. The man before her, not even 48 hours ago had held a gun to her head, came back to take her away to his hide out, threw a knife at her, and said she had two choices; stay or die. Hearing him say that she could learn botany instead of assassination techniques was...unexpected.<br/><br/>"Do you mean it?" she asked softly as she looked up at him. He did not answer, but instead offered a hand. It wasn't a straight forward answer and it made her huff. She took his hand, though, deciding it was better than nothing.<br/><br/>It was quiet between them, then Mira broke the tranquility with a sudden thought, "What are you guys doing with a greenhouse floor?"
