Raising a brow as Athos slipped his way back into the room, she smirked to herself at their interaction. She could feel the unease practically rolling off of Felix and it almost made Zara giddy. Not that she was teasing her best friend or wanted to see him upset, that is. She knew how long the two had had feelings for each other and she was just so very glad that they were interacting even more than usual. It wouldn't be long before the two were all over each other and Zara would be the third wheel. Normal people would be upset by thinking of themselves as the sidecar; Zara was enormously happy that her bestie was going to finally get some action.

And then it was time to say goodbye. Her smile soon vanished at the very thought of the majority of her favorite people being separated from her. She cleared her throat and gave a short nod to Felix. It was time for strictly business. Didn't mean her heart didn't break a little each time they went onto a case. Never knew when it'd be the last time she'd ever see him. Clearing her throat once more, a gentle smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. She lowered her voice towards Felix. "You know I won't say die well. You better get your arse back here alive."

Watching him off, she took a shaky breath before taking back full control of her emotions. She turned her head in response to her name coming from Emory. Listening to his directions, she nodded shortly and grinned. "No worries. You could be better with people too if you tried, cuz. You have such a majestic smile and an amazing bone structure. Could learn to use that to your advantage."

He wouldn't know. He could never know. Anytime she tried to take a peek all she saw was his ex wife. How could she ever compete with that? And she knew he often related her to Daisy. His memories made her queasy each time she stuck her toe in them. Emory would never be able to see her, for who she was, if he continued to compare her to Daisy. The thought made her upset.

The house soon landed at its next Destination. As they headed towards the exit, she stood up on her toes and placed a kiss to the Caretaker's cheek. "No stealing my chips while I'm gone, eh?" She gave him a small wink before practically hopping out of the house. It had been a good while since she they had been on a case. She was more than ready for this next one.

Bunny soon started to explain the house, causing Zara's brows to furrow. "One hundred and sixty one rooms? The lady may be crazier than I am. And that's saying something." She propped her hands on her hips and looked around them. With a nod of her head, she took a deep clearing breath. "I'll find the entrances if we can get close enough to the caretakers. Try to weasel my way into their hearts. Or their heads. Whichever comes first."

I'm at work at the moment, will post my follow up in about...Oh...7 hours.

St. Fortuna's Academy for the Higher Arts

@SailorsadieWouldn't want it any other way.
Oh, and by way, Delaney was the last character we haven't gotten a height for. If you don't mind, how tall is she? Regis is tiny, gotta say whether he's looking up at the people he's talking to.

edit: Ninja'd! Everybody wants a piece of Regis! He dreams of popularity are coming true!

@Discontent

Oh, no! Um...She's about average height, I guess. 5'5?

St. Fortuna's Academy for the Higher Arts

Getting a post up. If anyone wants Regis to annoy them, just ask.

@Discontent

He can annoy Delaney all he wants. She'll fight back. Haha

@SailorsadieWell, isn't DJ just a bundle of sunshine. But seriously, it's going to take more than comparing him to nasty stomach fluids to get through Korrey wall of optimism. Not quite sure what his response is going to be yet, but I do know that it will likely make our resident fiery redhead dislike him even more, despite his efforts to the contrary.

@Raijinslayer

Glad you're not upset! Haha. I figured she needed a person that she could constantly butt heads with, and she just happened to choose Korrey!

"I get high, and I love to get low
So the hearts keep breaking, and the heads just roll
You know that's how the story goes.

Ex's and oh, oh, oh's they haunt me
Like gho-o-osts they want me
to make 'em all, all, all
They won't let go
Ex's and-

"Hey! Watch it!"

She had been completely fine, lost in her own world until a first year decided to bump into her, completely cutting off her singing. With a roll of her eyes, she groaned and brushed herself off. If the girl had so much as scuffed any part of the short emerald sun dress that adorned Delaney's fair skin, she would be starting off the school year one body part short. Once she was satisfied that everything was still in perfect order, the teenager fluffed out her red curls and surveyed the area around her.

The train ride had been a long one, as usual. She absolutely hated the ride and was thankful that it only occurred a couple times during the school year. Her green eyes took in the lush surroundings leading up to the castle. As she took in the sight before her, a small grin tugged at the corners of her mouth. The place was a home away from home. Much better, actually, seeing as how at home she started to grow rather bored. Delaney, or DJ as only a few select were allowed to call her, had drama and chaos running through her veins, and she most certainly didn't get that in a mansion filled with only servants.

As she started to make her way towards the castle with her two suitcases, she glanced over at the other students who had just arrived. She could barely hold back a grimace as she recognized a few. Her people were late to the party, as per usual. She really couldn't count on anybody these days. With a huff, she yanked one the blank earbud from her right ear before fully taking in the people around her. Where were Janine and Henri when they were needed? She had barely seen them over the summer and she was yearning for some human interaction. She turned off the mp3 player in her hand and stuffed it into her black clutch.

Her attention was soon grabbed by a male voice and she groaned loudly. Rolling her eyes in his direction, she looked him over before scrunching her nose in apparent disgust. Delaney looked at the poor blonde that he had been talking to and shook her head. "Run while you can, sugar. This one is nothing but bile."

@Sailorsadie
YES! Course he will not walk around saying GURL and snapping his fingers.

@Avanhelsing

Good, cause DJ would hit him. Haha

St. Fortuna's Academy for the Higher Arts

Anyone else want to make relationships? I am kind of adrift right now. My head is swimming and could use a connection.

@Avanhelsing

Delaney could use a gay best friend. If he can handle her, that is.
