Criston let out a small huff as a smile grew on his face at the voice he heard. [color=yellow]"Carmen. It's nice to hear your voice."[/color] He greeted her, looking over to grin at her. [color=yellow]"It is indeed strange for you to be one of the first ones here. Then again, a lot of thing are different now, yeah?"[/color] He added, chuckling. He let out a small sigh before sipping some more of his beer. 

[color=yellow]"Mom's out of town for a few days. She'll be back soon, she just had some stuff to do. How's Lily? Last I saw her, she still wasn't taking any of this very well. The flowers seem to be a help though."[/color] He explained, ending with a question about Lily, who was currently helping with closing up the flower shop. He scanned the room out of the corner of his eyes and noticed a few more had come in, one of which had seemed to be here for a while, Mizuki. He smiled and sent her a small wave before focusing on the other one. It was... Grimm, right? They'd found him a while ago and he'd joined their cause, though most people did. Another smile and wave was sent their way before he turned back to listen to Carmen.

Meanwhile, Lily was hard at work closing up the flower shop, doing the things the shop keeper had told her to do... She was giving the flowers one last shower before she locked the doors when she felt the tremors. Small... Small tremors. She looked down to see the water shaking slightly. 

[color=coral]"What's wrong?"[/color] She asked aloud, looking down at the water. One emotion was sent to her, panic. But what for? She sighed and set the thought aside for now. She'd tell Criston about it later. She wanted to go to the meeting but part of her was stopping her, the part of her that wanted nothing to do with it all. 

Sighing, Lily put the hose away and left the shop, locking the door behind her. Then, she made her way for the small apartment complex Maria had set up for the lot of them. Carmen and herself were, once again, roommates. She was probably at the meeting right now. She sighed and with a quick glance at the Inn, Lily made her way up the street towards her apartment.
