He was dubious of their relationship at first, but that skepticism quickly dissipated when they mentioned they were just friends. “Oh, I see. I came alone.”

Ethan savored each bite of his meal, his eyes closed in enjoyment. He hummed appreciatively with each mouthful, completely absorbed in the flavors and textures of the food. He chewed with his mouth closed and swallowed each bite before taking the next one. He paused to take a sip of water from his glass, his throat working as he swallowed.

Ethan shook his head. He swallowed his current bite before replying to @Kim Sato. “Oh, I love food! But I don't cook nor bake.” he admitted. “I just enjoy eating what others make. Especially when it's as good as this!” He went back to eating, a dreamy look on his face.

At that moment, @Bailey Glade came over to their table. Ethan took his cue to leave and bid them both goodbye. “Anyway, I should probably get going,” he said. “Nice to meet you Kim, and hey Bailey,” he says, waving goodbye and giving the two of them a chance to talk.

OH NO HIS CAT.

Ethan hurried back to his dorm, feeling guilty. Upon opening the door, he was met with an angry feline who promptly let out a meow of protest. “I'm so sorry, buddy,” he said, scooping the cat into his arms and rushing to fill its bowl with food. “I won't forget again, I promise.”

"Well...yeah!" Howard offered a slightly nervous smile when Bloom seemed surprised by his farming dreams. Didn't it make sense? He loved the outdoors, animals and herbology. It all just seemed to be adding up as far as career choices went, but she quickly claimed that she may not be the farming type. A little twinge of uncertainty dashed through Howard as his little daydream cloud burst over his head. Of course knowing exactly what they wanted and where they would end up could not be obtained at this point in their lives. They would have to try different things and base their future off of experiences and mistakes before landing in a spot that may offer some sort of permanence, but what did this doubt mean? He was of course letting it get the best of him. Howard was often too emotional for his own good, yet for a moment he struggled to shake a feeling of impending doom.

For so long now he had simply just imagined Bloom at his side for whatever was to come. They were in love with each other, right? Although the realistic part of Howard's mind knew that many people eventually moved on from their school aged loves, his heart here in this moment refused to believe such a thing was possible. He busied his hands and mouth with another bite of food as he fussed with what was left on the plate. The rush of panic subsided a bit as Bloom claimed she really hadn't even figured out what kind of person she was. That made sense. People needed time to grow and to find themselves, but damn did he hope her future included him.

Perhaps Howard was feeling more confident in such things as he answered his truth. There were of course the dreams of Bloom in a wedding dress walking down the aisle towards him, but even this love struck Dhampir had no idea of when or where such a thing would occur in their lives. A moment of silence would pass between them as both of their minds grappled with what he had just said, but it was best not to linger on things too long, so he challenged her to the game. It would be time for another truth.

"Alright then." Howard said after washing down the last of his food. It was tempting for a moment to just let the topic slide away for another time, but something deeper was happening here. Too afraid to say the words directly they were now masked behind this game. "Do you want to stay living in the UK after school?" It was another challenge about her future that Howard was tiptoeing around. She may not know who she was, but did she think she was adventurous enough to move out of country? And more importantly, if he chose to go elsewhere, would she ever follow?

Valarie entered the ballroom quietly. She saw many others in the room with their dates. Valarie had a pale pink dress on and had her hair tied back in a braid. She scanned the room for Ebony. When Valarie discovered Ebony was yet to arrive, she wandered over to the side of the room to wait for her friend. Her hands itched to mess with her hair, her nervous habit, but forced her hands to remain at her side so her hair would not be messed up. Instead of messing with her hair, she rubbed her hands in the skirt of the pale pink dress she wore. Valarie kept her eyes locked on the door so she could go over to Ebony once she arrived. With every swing of the door opening, she started towards the door but when she saw it wasn’t Ebony, she rushed backwards to her spot by the wall of the Ballroom. Valarie tried her best to keep her mind from thinking Ebony had decided not to show up by alternating between swinging one foot and then the other, stopping them just before they would hit the wall. She soon gave up on swinging her feet and sat down by the wall, hoping her friend would show.

While at the buffet, before going over to kim bailey worked on filling her plate with foods and treats to munch on. For her more fulfilling course she opted for a steak and mashed potatoes, and some grilled asparagus. She also got some steamed broccoli, cause she actually liked veggies. For a drink bailey got a glass of water and a chocolate milkshake. She spotted the fondues, and immediately made her way over to them. She dipped some fruit in both the chocolate and the cheese fondue, and grabbed a chocolate lava cake.
With her food secure bailey made her way over to where kim was.
Bailey arrived to where kim was chatting with Ethan, and when she got there he sighed. Bailey IMMEDIATLY started overthinking. what did i do... does kim not want to be here.. did i drag him into something he doesn't want to do... is he mad at me... i should go. why am i even here??? bailey was defiantly spiraling, and not in a good way.
Kim raised a brow after she said "thank you for coming- I was afraid I scared you away for a moment.” softly. He followed this up with questions, and bailey wasn't sure how to answer. "um... cause you seem to be more reclusive, and moody when i drag you places? you're rarely as cheerful as you once were, and seem to be in.... a not so great headspace... and im just worried now that every time you see me you aren't excited, and are just resigned to the fact that im going to try and get you to do something besides mope." bailey was being overly honest, and this wasn't something she often did. But she was honestly concerned for Kim, and all of this spilled out. Her voice had a worried quiver in it, like she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown or of crying - which she was.
Bailey was not going to just say she thought Kim was depressed, even if she was almost positive that he was.
Bailey looked down at her shoes and muttered "i shouldn't have said that... sorry kim." looking up into Kim's blue eyes she said, taking his hand, "im just worried about you, ok? you're the best friend i have and i don't want to loose you.."

Waiting for the question, she fixed the hem of her dress, stretching it to cover more of her thigh as she crossed her legs. Was this game a good idea to play, especially during the Valentine's Day ball? Bloom began to think that even starting a game like this would have probably been a mistake. Two results could come out of this game: they become closer and more in love, or they realize that perhaps they are not for each other. So far, with her question and his answer, they seemed distant. She did not know who she was and if she wanted to live on a farm, and it seemed to be a dream of his to live on a farm.

His question had finally come and Bloom felt like it was a trick question. Was she going to answer so that it matched what he wanted so they can stay together, or would she share her own view on the matter and see whatever comes out of it. She was not ready for a break up if that was to occur. She played with the ends of her hair and crossed her legs the other way, not realizing she was showing some form of feeling worried. It was not just about the future, but there was an underlying desire to know where Bloom wanted to be after their Hogwarts experience.

"I-" Bloom paused, unable to choose which route to take: a truth or a lie. Her heart began to race, its beating feeling like it was hitting against her chest bone. "I've only known where I live now. I don't know what's out there," she said honestly. Bloom wasn't sure what was out there in the world and if it would be something to explore. But if she were to explore, she would want a partner to explore with her. "I wouldn't go alone," she added, wondering if he had caught on to that answer. "If I was alone, I would stay in the UK closer to my family."

Bloom's heart slowed down from before and she took a deep breath from her nose and out through her mouth. "Do you want to do something else here?" she asked, cutting the game extremely short. She did not think about how it could affect her relationship with Howard and instead, she wanted to just have fun freely in his presence.

17/02/23 Kayla nodded upon figuring out Rhys and Rhains relation. "Do all your names start with 'R'?" She wondered outloud. She hadn't really meant to say this but it was a genuine question. If Rhys had more siblings- she was betting a gallon that their name started with the letter R, too. At the point where Kayla said she could've brought Rhain a gift, he shook his head and said it was okay. Then he zoned out for a bit, Kayla watched him curiously. For a few moments he was in a daze, perhaps stuck on a thought. "Hey, Rhain? You here?" Kayla asked him and he snapped out of it, he shook his head a bit. “Sorry, lost in my head a moment. But, yeah, we’re related. How do you know Rhys?” He asked. Kayla wondered what he had been thinking about that got him so lost in thought. But Kayla didn't want to press on the subject or anything, so she decided not to ask. "They joined my art club, then I met them not too long ago when we agreed to come the ball together," Kayla explained. Kayla never felt comfortable referring to the club as 'hers'. She always preferred to say the art club as if she was only a mere member. In a way she was, though. Or at least she felt like that somtimes- it wasn't a bad feeling, either.

In the midst of panicking about the fact that Adya is actually going to be his date for the Valentine's Ball and before that actually processing the fact and accepting it, it seems that the most simple stuff about Valentine escaped from Asher's mind, bringing your partner chocolate om Valentine was a symbol of your appreciation and love for them, and even if you don't have a romantic partner, you can still bring it your freinds to show how much you appreciate them...so why, did such an integral part of Valentine traditions escape Asher?!?

He not only forgot about it and therfore didn't bring any chocolate to Adya, he also didn't understand the gesture when Adya tried to give him one! 'it's okay, don't panic. Don't panic.' he was definitely panicking. "Yeah, like I said, I would rather you have it" he tried to play it cool by supporting his earlier statement, secretly hoping his facial features didn't betray him.

Asher was thrilled that he was getting a picture together with Adya, it felt special in an inexplicable way, it was a feeling that Aaher cherished. Asher was however caught off gaurd when Adya wrapped her arm around him, not that he was complaining mind you "Not one bit, Aya". Asher smiled brightly before mimicking Adya and wrapping his other arm around her as well, a blush evident on his cheeks, Adya then proceeded to take multiple pictures of them, "I am going to need a copy of one of those pictures" it will be something to always remember this day by and Asher also won't say no to being able to see Adya even when she's not around.

Asher started getting anxious when Adya shook her head at his question, Asher could only think of the letter as the reason for her acting like this, he wanted to say the words, to express his feelings to her, but he was scared...he knew it sounded illogical when Adya also probably liked him back, but if he was wrong? What if all this time he was just a good friend to her? Maybe not even that, that was the reason he wasn't able to voice his ture feeling to her. He was brought back into the moment when Aday pulled the chocolate bar from earlier and....started lifting it like a dumbell? He cracked a small smile at her before speaking, "Yeah, they don't look heavy"

She then stopped lifting it and asked Asher if he is still rejecting it, which brought back his earlier feeling of embarrassment for not bringing her anything, and before he could reply Adya continued on, saying that if he doesn't accept it, she would find someone else to receive chocolate from her on this day. Asher imagined it for an instant in his mind and before he could even think he snatched the chocolate out of Adya's hands, he blinked before he realized what he had done "I am sorry, I didn't mean to snatch it like that, it's just I imagined you with someone else for a second and..." it was far too late for Asher by the time he realized what he just said, but despite the embarrassment he felt he now also understood how much he truly loved Adya. "What I mean to say is that I accept the chocolate, but you're going to eat it with me, and no objection"
