[indent] [b] “I could take it.”[/b]

Elle heard Henry’s reply and turned her head towards him, still slowly making her way towards her friends on the couch. She’d been unsure of his reaction and hadn’t expected anything but a shrug, and yet… [i]“I could take it.”[/i] The simple words meant more than what was implied. It sounded heroic. Elle’s eyes followed his body movement and noticed that he was rubbing his forearm. She looked back up at him immediately and simply nodded when he continued. She couldn’t imagine what pain he went through, and she also couldn’t imagine what the damage the rock would have caused if he hadn’t been there. The whole town owed Olin for what he did.

Helen came rocketing out of nowhere and onto the couch, and Elle had heard bits and pieces of what the fastest boy in town was saying to Willow before Henry snorted in amusement. Elle was glad that his boisterous mood had returned and smiled back at him. The hard conversation now blown away with the idea of hearing what Willow saw of the rock monster. Elle noticed the bit of space Henry had left for her and took it. With her own mischievous mood returning she grinned wide as the smell of mary jane hit her in Helen’s presence.

Her attention then turned to Dexter, who was now giving Henry a thumbs up. Her balance shifted, the iced drink finally hitting her, and she swayed a second before resting a hand on Henry’s arm to hold herself still. [color=LightSeaGreen] “What’s the plan, then?”[/color] She asked no one in particular, glancing at the three of them on the couch. She looked to her friend, who was still locked in Helen’s hug. [color=LightSeaGreen] “Did you see something, Willow?”[/color] Dexter’s words about a manhole were now catching up to her and she removed her hand from Henry’s arm to stand straighter. [color=LightSeaGreen] “If you’re going looking for who’s behind this, I’m coming with.”[/color]
