Lock reached up to give Lillith a reassuring pet. He groaned internally, but tried to play it off casually.

"Yeah," he said, though he kept his tone careful.

Not too much enjoyment, but not too casual, either.

"So, um...I guess same time next week?"

Shock finished the rest of her tea in one quick gulp, then glared at her younger brother.

"Or maybe we should start two-and-a-half hours later so you two can bump headstones first."

That got Barrel to giggle. He didn't bother to try to stop, as he wasn't the one in trouble. Shock ignored him and pushed herself up. She crossed her arms as she stared Lock down.

"We'll just have a nice [i]tea party[/i] in the meantime. Because [i]that's[/i] why we meet every week."

Lock sensed danger and barely kept himself from stepping back. Shock then turned her glare to Lillith. A devious little smirk formed on her lips as she noticed the bat's ears lowered in fear.

"Of course, you're not [i]entirely[/i] at fault."

With that, she gave a casual glance to Carmilla.
