Aya blinked at Sebastian when he called her by her middle name, but then she remembered how he preferred to call her Lynn for whatever reason. She really [i]didn't[/i] want to play volleyball with Sebastian. She didn't want to be anywhere near him. But Cassandra was having fun and laughing, and that pulled at her heart. Why was she so afraid of Sebastian in the first place? He seemed nice enough, and she couldn't remember any time he'd hurt her. Maybe it was just her being unreasonable.

She looked up at Nate when he offered her his arm and blushed a bit. Aya had a feeling he was just playing around, but the gesture was nice nonetheless. Even if it was a little embarrassing. She smiled up at him and took his arm, saying, [color=mediumspringgreen]"Sure."[/color] She let Nate lead her towards the volleyball setup.

[color=mediumspringgreen]"Cassandra's a nice girl,"[/color] Aya offered, feeling the need to say something. [color=mediumspringgreen]"Her stepdad was my landlord and I used to tutor her every now and then. Sebastian…"[/color] Aya trailed off, not sure what to say about him. [color=mediumspringgreen]"I don't know… Cassandra seems to like him. Then again, she also thinks Hitler was just a misunderstood lost soul who made bad choices."[/color] That discovery had been one of their… interesting tutoring sessions. Apparently he'd just been a trapped artist and his legacy could've been avoided if he just had more compassion in his life. Aya tried very hard not to judge her for that. Young teenagers could be… romantic. Hopefully she'd grow out of it some day.

Aya just gave another bashful smile up at Nate, shrugging her shoulders. They arrived at the volleyball 'court' and she released his arm.

[color=mediumspringgreen]"So,"[/color] Aya said to the general people gathered. [color=mediumspringgreen]"Volleyball?"[/color]
