[@Vicier][@December][@Caits][@YoshiSkittlez] [h2][color=lightgreen]Aron Brooks[/color][/h2] [hr] Aron kept his hand on the door, still conflicted as Cody walked to him. He turned his head to look at his boyfriend and felt some reassurance from him. He knew it was a silly worry fest he was having. That no one out there would hurt him. That Cody was there for him. But, he still had that doubt, that fear creeping around his mind like an unwelcome burglar of his own confidence. His eyes went back to the doorknob and part of him wondered why he couldn't just stride on through. Aron blinked as cody tugged him away from the door. He felt his cheek flex as he listened to Cody's proposal. He was given an easier way out. A way out that did not involve any random stranger....nor did it involve rushing past zoe. His cheek flexed again. [color=lightgreen]"I am worried about it...But you're right."[/color] His eyes met Cody's and he gave a smile. [color=lightgreen]"I should at least let Zoe know where I'm going."[/color] That and he didn't want to hurt zoe by leaping out the window. Aron smiled brighter and gave Cody a quick hug. [color=lightgreen]"I know you won't...So...lets do this."[/color] He walked back to the door and faced down the doorknob for a moment, determination sweeping through his features. He was scared...but he could do this. He firmly grabbed the knob and opened the door before heading down the stairs. Aron let his gaze focus solely on Zoe, his eyes not even glancing at the guy. [color=lightgreen]"Hey...so...were going to head back out. Hit Cody's house for his laptop then head to the hospital. Ill let you know when we get to the hospital"[/color] The whole statement almost sounded like something a kid would tell their parent...a clear sign that he was accepting of zoe already. He gave a bright smile and made his way out the front door before he felt himself get jittery. His nerves were shot. [hr] [h2][color=gold]Magnus Bane[/color][/h2] [hr] Magnus turned his head toward leo as he spoke. The hand on his wrist was both relaxing and absolutely terrifying to him. His eyes flicking toward the hand before refocusing on Leo's face. He was at the moment, vulnerable. A state that he did not really enjoy being in just yet and somehow...he was slightly okay with it...because it was Leo. [color=gold]"Or some sneaky incredibly awful hunters who decide death is necessary."[/color] The sarcasm came peeking back. Though, by the way he was still death gripping the wheel, it was clear Magnus was still pretty vulnerable. The worry in his eyes was still very much present. With the last of leo words, Magnus gave a nod. [color=gold]"I would very much like to do that Leo"[/color] His voice was softer with that. A movement caught Magnus' attention and he found himself caught in the gaze of seraphina. She seemed just as anxious as he was at the moment, his eyes baring it all to her. He watched her leave and found his mind racing. What choice was he to make? He already knew the answer as to which he would choose, but was it the right one for her? Magnus was still reeling when he felt a squeeze that snapped him away from inside his mind and back into reality. This time, with all his defenses down...the touch earned Leo the faintest of blushes before magnus peeled his hands off the wheel. Clearly, if he had longer nails, his palms would have been a bloody mess. He inhaled before running a hand through his hair and glancing back at the door. [color=gold]"I...need to follow her. I have no idea how long I will be in there"[/color] He turned the car on and then opened the door. [color=gold]"Ill leave everything on, but no matter how tempting....resist the urge to take off in this."[/color] With those parting words, he got out and closed the door behind him before striding back into the vet office and into the holding room. Magnus did not say anything...he had no idea what to say, so instead he stood there for a few moments. He inhaled before choosing his words. [color=gold]"Im sorry"[/color]
