Esme looked over at Natalia as she made her own comment to Dean’s dad speech. A laugh escaped her lips. The thought [i]”Well, that’s no fun.”[/i] crossed her mind, and she almost said it aloud, but kept it to herself. Her smirk grew at his stance and the look he gave her and Natalia. “I know.” she said warmly as he opened the door. “We’ll be fine.” she added, as he turned to point at Natalia before leaving. She was about to say something else, but she was a little late to get it out. Once Dean and Mika had left, she took in a deep breath and slowly let it out. 

She felt as if someone had lifted an enormous weight off her, making her slightly lightheaded for a moment. Once she had collected herself, she briefly turned to Natalia before she scanned the room that was still littered with debris from earlier. “Shall we see how much of this we can clean up?” she asked her. If she was being honest with herself, she didn’t really want to mess with it, but on the other hand, she didn’t feel right leaving the room this way. Esme then took off her jacket and draped it over the back of a chair, preparing herself for the cleaning and to stay for a while.
