[hider=Texting Lilie]
[i][Color=00BFFF]> Hi!! I’m so happy to hear from you!!!
> Yeah, I’m up, definitely not used to this ‘being awake all night’ thing yet[/color]
[Color=82ca9d]>> Didn't your family have vampires as well? Or were you the first mage of your family?[/color][/i]
[i][Color=00BFFF]> First mage...lucky me[/color]
[Color=82ca9d]>> I'm sure you'll get used to it. I'm usually asleep by now but it doesn't want to stick today it seems.
>> An empty house will do that to you.[/color]
[Color=00BFFF]> idk, the vampire I got is
> really, really, really weird
> all the vampires I get are weird[/color][/i]

[Color=82ca9d]Maybe I was too subtle? She seemed to not comment that I'm alone. But what does she mean by all the vampires?[/color]

[i][Color=82ca9d]>> All? At least you have one, or...some? I haven't seen mine since the arena.[/color][/i]
[i][Color=00BFFF]> something’s going on with this place because i had 3 vampires all come in
> first one left because of...something, then I was ditched by the second
> idk what’s happening but I don’t know how to handle this woman (・_・)?[/color]
[Color=82ca9d]>> That's...not normal. Who's your new partner?
>> Sorry that this is happening to you by the way 😢[/color][/i]

[Color=82ca9d]Ok. Something is [i]definitely[/i] going on until this school.[/color]

[i][Color=00BFFF]> no need to apologize ^_^
> her name is Mariette Eve, i dunno too much about her but we got off to a...awkward start
> I think the whole Eve house is crazy because Arianna and Ikelos were also...quirky[/color]
[Color=82ca9d]>> Wow, three nobles. I bet that's a load of fun, then again I suppose I have a noble by proxy.[/color][/i]
[i][Color=00BFFF]> Does that mean you’re in the cul-de-sac too?![/color]
[Color=82ca9d]>> Oh no. I'm with the other dorms. Kinda wish I was though, wouldnt mind having a friend here right now…
>> had a...bad night[/color]
[Color=00BFFF]> bad night?
> but you were with Aaron, right? Meeting with the Queen?[/color]
[Color=82ca9d]>> That would be the bad night. Yeah 😓[/color][/i]
[i][Color=00BFFF]> what happened?[/color]

[Color=82ca9d]That's odd. Aaron told her about our dinner but didnt mention anything that went on it seems. I wonder how much hes hiding from us?[/color]

[Color=82ca9d]>> Well I single handedly put my family under investigation, as well as my clinic, I cant contact anyone I know and I am not considered to be potentially associated with the Red Hand, whomever that is.[/color][/i]
[i][Color=00BFFF]> i’m so sorry to hear that
> but
> can they really do that?[/color]
[Color=82ca9d]>> Its the queen. Besides, I placed a very harsh accusation on a council member, I'm lucky I wasn't executed on the spot. Luckily the search should prove fruitless as my family has nothing to hide.[/color]
[Color=00BFFF]> that sounds really scary[/color][/i]
[i][Color=00BFFF]> but you’re not alone, you have me and Aaron at least![/color]

[Color=82ca9d]Aaron? Hes sweet, and I believe he means well but...hes no different than the blinded mage, only it appears he chooses to be blind.[/color]

[Color=82ca9d]>> I hope so...its his partners family I accused. Aaron didn't seem to pleased with me, but I think we're ok at the moment.[/color]
[Color=00BFFF]> I know so! We’re both here for you, I promise!!! (っˆーˆ)っ
> I wasn’t able to get to you yesterday, but I’m going to make sure to stick close to you going forward okay?[/color]
[Color=82ca9d]>> Sounds like a deal
>> Speaking of...I've been alone all night and I was wondering if you wanted to come over for a bit and just hang out before classes start?[/color][/i]

[Color=82ca9d]Stupid Spellman Stupid Spellman Stupid Spellman[/color]

[i][Color=00BFFF]> yeah! 
> oh
> is that allowed
> am i gonna run into your vampire  (☉_☉)[/color]
[Color=82ca9d]>> If you do, let me know 😆 I havent seen a trace of Lucan since the arena.
>> But you should be fine to come over if you wanted to.[/color]
[Color=00BFFF]> alrighty then! Let me know where you are, I’ll find my way over there![/color][/i]

[Color=82ca9d]She said yes! Omg I dont have anything prepared! What are we even going to do?![/color]
[/hider]

 Salem quickly started to get things prepared as he did yesterday, setting out the trays for her to choose and drink from, while putting on the kettle, and hurriedly grabbing a set of tea cups. A loud thud could be heard as a cast iron tea cup fell onto the floor near his foot. Salem shook his hand wincing at the slight discomfort and pain from gripping the cup too hard with his injured hand. [Color=82ca9d][i]Slow it down Spellman. No need to exasperate the wound.[/i][/color] His right hand picked up the cup, setting on the counter, then going to grab a new one from his room. Salem paused for a moment, staring at the empty room that was Lucans, thinking to himself [Color=82ca9d][i]If Lilie could have 2 new partners...who's to say that they arent replacing mine after last night?[/i][/color] 

 Nervousness began to swell inside him, choking him as a knot formed in his throat, thinking about who his possible new partner could be and how much worse it may make things. He found his hand shakily making it's way towards his neck, similar to what one does when choking. As soon as his finger tips touched the skin on his neck, it was as if a bright flash went off in his mind. Salem began to think back on the light before, the feeling of someone pouring through his mind as if it was theirs to play with. By the time Salem shook out of it, he was sitting on the ground against the doorframe of his bedroom, staring blankly at the wall before him.he cleared his throat and moved into his room to grab a new cup from the set and made his way back towards the living area. As he set the cup down, a soft knock could be heard coming from his front door.
