<hr/><div align="center"><strong>~*~ Arianna ~*~</strong></div><hr/><br/>Arianna stayed close to the man, somehow feeling a bit more secure by him now that the kitchen seemed to be an endless commotion. She lowered her trowel and placed it in her apron. She only listened to the argument that ensued, as her hand some how found its way to his, as she stared at Charlie talking to the lady with wings. Arianna almost pulled away immediately as she felt the heat of his skin, her fingers curling into her palm and hugging her chest. Her ears were warm again, and she stepped a couple inches away from him, giving her bubble some room.<br/><br/>She saw how Charlie got shot down, and she felt bad. Her eyes drifted to the man next to her.<em>'So he... he was summoned here?'</em>she paused and her eyes lingered on him some more.<em>'Was he summoned here for someone like that thing was?'</em>The sound of footsteps on the stairs distracted Arianna as she watched Miyu and Melissa walk into the kitchen shortly after. She held her breath and wait for more screaming, but there wasn't any. They just came in and acted like nothing was wrong, and now Miyu was making food. Arianna softly spoke up, in a moment of silence to respond to Miyu's offering of rice balls. "I'll take one..."<br/><br/><hr/><div align="center"><strong>~*~ Lee ~*~</strong></div><hr/><br/>Lee pulled back her hand as soon as Olivia darted from her grasp. Now her and Charlie were taking accusations... and it didn't help Lee's confidence at all. With barely any prodding, Lee shut down, and her gaze lowered to the floor. 'Look at what you've done, there was no way this would have ever gone over smoothly, you should have listened to that nagging part in your brain Lee' she began to think to herself as she just leaned against the door frame. Her fingers met in her lap as she twiddled them, obviously nervous.<br/><br/>The girl never did well with being yelled at, it shut her down faster than an emergency stop to a power system. Especially if it came from her parents, or worse... a friend. Lee felt horrible now as she listened to Charlie trying to explain about what was happening. "It's my fault... I convinced her to do it a second time. I had no idea that, despite fixing everything that something like this could happen..." Her words trailed but Lee felt like she could easily be ignored with all the commotion that was going on.
