Annika smiled, amused by Jake and his strange behaviour. She wondered if he had just recovered from a strange form of amnesia. She offered him the invitation, so he could look it over.

[color=#663399]”It seems we have all been invited to a party. Should be fun,”[/color] Annika said and set the invitation down before she walked to her wardrobe to find something suitable.

~~~

A couple of hours later, Annika walked down to the secret location with Jake and her other roommate. She sported a grunge look that was reminiscent of outfits she had worn to parties before. It was comfortable enough for any type of party she had been to before, but casual enough to show that she wasn’t here to impress. She left her hair loose, gathered over her right shoulder for the time.

Along the way, they ran into a few more people who were all making their way to the secret location. Annika was starting to recognize some faces and smiled politely at those she came across, but remained next to Jake. She fiddled with her [url=https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/9d/f4/16/9df416be7328871efe06278b666ab457.jpg] necklace[/url] while the person outside Haven ran over the rules with them again.

Parties were something Annika wasn’t a stranger to. She had been to several over her time on earth when she had been in school. Then there were the parties her ancestors (descendants) had. Annika was always sober, but the atmosphere was intoxicating enough. It didn’t surprise her that a university-style party was known for debauchery, but it did surprise her that there were rules. Of course, it made Annika infinitely more comfortable knowing there were boundaries already in place. At least that way, she wouldn't have to build them from the ground up for herself.

Callaghan looked up when Cassie’s voice started to rise, the telltale sign of excitement. He chuckled and shut his book. [color=#B22222]”It’s nice to be able to come back to your room and have a personalised space after a long day at school.”[/color] Cal stood and selected another book from the towering stack on his desk before he sat again. The ability to have his own space was definitely something he valued, but it didn’t prevent Cal from feeling homesick. When that happened, he would visit Professor Mikkhil or sneak out for a nighttime flight. Sometimes the only way to feel like yourself is to be your complete self.

Cassie’s continued joy and excitement became infectious. He chuckled again, his eyes dancing when she asked more about Haven and the clothing situation. [color=#B22222]”Mmm, yes. All sorts of entertainment can happen at Haven. However, the clothes-off policy is saved for one of their side rooms. For tonight, though, it is more about getting more acquainted with your classmates and coven sisters and brothers. As for matching, I’m wearing black and lace,”[/color] Cal said with a wink in Cassie’s direction before he fell into his book.

~~~

Later that night, dressed in his same black pants, Cal now sported a patterned lace, long-sleeved top. He kept most of the buttons done up to reserve modesty, but his tattoos flirted around the open pattern of his shirt. He knew he was toeing the line with his attire, but Cal was hoping to turn certain heads at Haven. It had been several months after all. He paired the outfit with a necklace that looked similar to the colour and shape of bone, and his signature rings. He left the bracelets behind this time.

Callaghan continued to play tour guide for Cassiopeia. He walked with her down to the portrait that hid the entrance to Haven. Alfonse stood there already, waiting for everyone to arrive. Cal smiled and waved at him before he spotted Finley.

[color=#B22222]”Oh, there’s someone you [i]need[/i] to meet,”[/color] Cal said. He placed a hand on the small of Cassie’s back and guided her over to Finley.

Callaghan smiled warmly at his old friend. [color=#B22222]”Finely, darling. This is Cassiopeia. My coven sister and roommate.”[/color] Cal would then introduce Cassie to Finley and Dysphoria, only if the little minx had made their presence known in the gathering outside the hallway. If Dys wasn’t present, Cal didn’t show any concern, knowing there would be plenty of time for [i]that[/i] greeting later.

[color=#B22222]”I hear you are rooming with the twins this year. Are you going to get any work done this year?”[/color] he teased Finley.
