[color=steelblue]“It’s best to start young,”[/color] Elijah commented, leaning somewhat closer to Heather so that she would light up the cigarette in his mouth.

As he had inhaled slowly, breathing in that addictive smoke and letting it naturally(albeit slowly) flow out of his mouth, he remained relaxed as he saw the garden in front of him. Even with the limited lighting that it had from the lamp posts spread throughout and the partial sunlight the sun was giving due to it being mostly cloudy, it presented a nice atmosphere for the perfect smoke break. Odds were that Eli wouldn’t be able to relax like he was once he went back inside, so he was savoring this moment.

And it didn’t hurt to have an aesthetically-pleasing woman as company. 

He took just a few more moments to enjoy what was in his hand, though as he had turned his head a slight turn, he was just now noticing her. Long, dark locks cascaded down her neck and shoulders that only put a spotlight on her slightly-tanned skin. Something about the way the fluorescent light had shown on her face at just the exact moment she had turned to face him, which as probably an instinctual reaction to him glancing at her whilst she was facing a quarter of the opposite direction. Whichever it was, despite her now looking at him, Eli didn’t utilize a common technique that most would avoid eye contact. 

That simply wasn’t his speed. He kept his gaze, even offering her a smirk. As much as he didn’t like to admit it, he was indeed a Mossos. The flirtatious gene coursed through his veins as much as it had with Alexandros and even Georgie, though the latter wasn’t of the same variety that Eli and Alex seemed to be. 

[color=steelblue]“You don’t seem to be as uptight as the rest of the Huntsberg clan.”[/color] Elijah offered up his observation about Heather. [color=steelblue]“Or you could be really good at hiding it.”[/color] He let that thought consume his mind for a moment. When he did, it didn’t make sense for her to be out here alone if she truly was faking the disgust about how upbeat the rest of her family was.

Alexandros literally heard little to nothing Audrey had said for the past five minutes. His ears were still trying to regain their hearing back after what initially sounded like a cat trying to sing over nails on a chalkboard. However, only was it that he saw Audrey moved her lips in response that he had put two and two together. That supposed screeching cat had to have been someone of her family. As for who it might’ve been, Alex didn’t know. All he knew was that she did seem to look like Audrey. There was a slight resemblance, so maybe it was a cousin or some other kind of distant relative.

After the exchange between the two of them seemed to end and Alexandros had since regained his hearing back(he didn’t actually lose it but the shock of that human screecher sure made it seem like he did), he had since then got out of Audrey’s bed and got dressed. It was at the perfect time too, since Audrey had done so herself. The entire time, they were looking at each other. The temptation to forget everyone downstairs and just barricade themselves in the room was an all-time high, but Alexandros knew better than anyone else to leave a bad taste in the hosts of a party he was attending. Besides, he couldn’t disappoint his girlfriend’s family, now could he?

[color=dodgerblue]“There’s always be more time for that,”[/color] he said, winking suggestively towards Audrey. 

Just moments later, as the loud, screechy voice of whom Audrey had informed Alexandros was her cousin, Delilah, had gone room to room, informing all that dinner was about to start. Well, it wasn’t ready this moment, but those who were elsewhere, be it in the bathroom, back patio like Elijah was, or just not in the dining room, that little chipmunk of a woman sounded like Alvin from ALvin and the Chipmunks and moved like a cheetah traversing through the savannah. It was only when she had seemed to gather all from their desired locations, who all were emulating each other and were digging into their ears, doubtless checking to see if their hearing was still in check.

[color=dodgerblue]“She does this often, doesn’t she?”[/color] Alexandros commented lowly as he and Audrey rejoined the party in the foyer, to which he saw the rest of his family. The entire bunch had waved at the couple minus Eli, though he did give them a slight nod.
