	Salem smiled, a genuine smile breaking through the harshness that was his current reality. Although he hardly knew the girl, the words she that she spoke ran through to him and seemed to mean the world. He began to realize that with all the bad that was being thrown his way, there was also pillars of good that helped to hold him up and support him where he may falter. He leaned in close and hugged Lilie, holding for few seconds as he said [color=82ca9d]”Thank you, really...thanks.”[/color] Salem let her go, taking a few steps back as his right hand now held his left arm sheepishly. [color=82ca9d]”You’re absolutely right, we do need to stick together and help lift each other up when needed. Let’s head back to [i]our[/i] cul-de-sac. I’m sure your partner is wondering where you are, and i have to head to my etiquette class. Maybe later we can all hang out if the Astorio isn’t in a foul mood. Though my room wont be as well kept as it was last time, given the circumstances.”[/color]

	With that, Salem turned to thank the assistant once more before turning and leaving the building. As they made they’re way a thought crossed his mind. [color=82ca9d]”Oh wait, now that we’re all in the cul-de-sac we should plan some study sessions for you, Max and I. Seeing as how we’re all partners in the Sinnenodel team for Varis’ class. This should hopefully make things easier although...between you and me, I have a strange feeling that Max isn’t much of a team player. We may need to find some way to coerce him, a little incentive to get him going you know?”[/color]
