Damien's eyebrows arched, [Color=Thistle]"Hmm? And what could you [i]possibly[/i] have to offer?"[/color] He paused for emphasis, [Color=Thistle]"Oh wait, I know; nothing."[/color] He gave Reniere a wry grin before taking a drag off his vape. [Color=Thistle]"I wasn't expecting to see you here, but I'm sure you can fill me in on everything later."[/color] 

It looked like there was a young girl who had also joined the group. He couldn't recall her being apart of the original group, but he wasn't overly concerned about it. An idea crossed his mind about trying to sneak off while everyone was mingling, but then he remembered that Reniere was standing right there and would probably notice if he tried to slip away. That, and the fact that he didn't want to get entangled with Polyanna or the giant tree creatures again, made him decide to stay put for the time being. 

Rhea brushed the dirt off herself and joined the two of them. Damien had an inkling that Rhea might have been partially responsible for how Reniere ended up here; knowing from first hand experience, she didn't have any qualms about inviting friends to secret magical universities. He nodded at Rhea's comment and turned back to Reniere and added,[Color=Thistle]"You really should've seen it, Polyanna caught her as she tried to take off. I almost laughed my ass off."[/color] 

[Color=Thistle]"You really haven't changed, have you?"[/color] Damien sounded almost amused. He knew what to expect from Reniere, and this didn't surprise him in the slightest. [Color=Thistle]"Though, I [i]actually[/i] do like the idea of going to the mall. That sounds like fun. Let's go see if anyone else wants to come along."[/color]
