After the End RP discussion

A very large, sprawling household. It could easily host a party with thousands of guests.

Rena walked in, looking for Thomas.

She went up to his room and knocked on the door, calling softly, "Thomas?"

She slowly opened the door and saw him from the window. She climbed out as well.

She was silent as well.

"Hi."

"I'm sorry," she said quietly.

She shrugged, squinting into the sunset, not sure if he was sorry for dating that girl, or for yelling at them, or sorry that they had shown up in the first place...

She was quiet. Then, when she thought she couldn't take the silence anymore, she asked quietly but curiously, "How did you two meet?" she wanted to know.

"How long has it been since then?"

She nodded.

It's for the best, she thought, but still felt bad for him.

She couldn't tell if he was serious or not. The thought alarmed her. "Not funny, Thomas."

She shrugged.

((I can have him show up if you guys want?))

Almost as if their thoughts about him had brought him, Ian walked into the house. "Anyone here?" He called from downstairs.

"Talk of the stag and you see it's horns," muttered Rena.

Ian came up the stairs, using his powers a bit now that they were closer to find out where exactly they were. "Hey...." He said, climbing out there to sit with them.

"Hey."

"You alright?" He asked, feeling bad for his brother. They'd just been trying to protect them....although he'd understand if Thomas was still mad at them.

Even if his tone hadn't given him away with his mind reading Ian wouldn't have had trouble figuring it out. "We were just trying to help..."


((It would be funny if wither Thilia or Ian also fell for and STW. I would say Rena too but she's got a boy friend. Kinda.))

Rena sighed.

Rena stood as well.

Ian was silent, not sure what to say to his brother.

"Okay." She paused. "Where to?"

Ian reached out to read his brother's mind. See where exactly he was going. He wouldn't follow, just wanted to know.

She looked at Ian.

"Cliff." He told her, standing as well.

Her eyes widened, and she raced after Thomas, thinking of his earlier comment. He meant it literally, she thought in a panic!

Ian raced after her, not bothering to ask his sister what she was thinking just reading her mind. After that he panicked as well.

Ian came home and went up to his room, shutting and locking the door behind him.

She went into the kitchen and started heating water on the stove. "You want some tea or hot chocolate or something?"

((Posting order?))

Ian heard the door open and close downstairs, guessing that his siblings were home. He quickly hid the pack of cigarettes in something and put it at the top of his closet. Luckily he was taller than Rena and Thomas. Hopefully they wouldn't find it. He brushed his teeth quickly before heading downstairs.

"Alright." They rarely ate as a family anymore, so she hasn't noticed. She put some tea bags in the kettle and got out a mug and the honey.

"Hey guys...."

She ignored him.

"I'm sorry Re....."

She didn't respond, staring at the kettle, silently willing it to just boil already...

He sighed, hating that his siblings were mad at him. It's your own fault...

She stared at the kettle, seeing her face reflected in it, but distorted. Ian behind her, looking at her sadly...

He hesitated a moment before reading both their minds, wanting to know what they were thinking.

Rena was still furious at him. She was feeling bad now--well, a little--for yelling at him but at the same time still incensed. He hadn't even thought about the effect this might have on them, had he?! She was also worried about Thomas. A lot. And even afraid, that Ian would start to make smoking a habit. She also REALLY wanted to go back and kick that Trevis guy where it counts.

He winced a bit at both their thoughts. Yes he was an idiot. He hadn't been thinking of them. He was worried about Thomas too. Especially after he'd almost umped off the cliff earlier. It was that stress that had pushed him to this. and he wasn't going to make it a habit. He'd just had one... Then why are you hiding the others...

He's probably reading my mind right now...that's why he's just standing there staring at me... She stood straighter, not turning around. Well, good. He deserves it. THe kettle started whistling then, and she jumped at the sudden noise.

"Re...I really am sorry. It's not going to become a habit again...."

"You keep saying that," she said crisply as she poured the hot tea, adding in a generous spoonful of honey and stirring.

"'And it's not." He said. He'd still been reading both their thoughts, frowning suddenly when he heard Thomas'. Was he planning on doing something again? Please no.....

((Lol picturing him walking in: "Rena you SUCK at the silent treatment!!! I thought we'd discussed this!! No talking to him for at LEAST fifteen minutes!))

"It better not be," she said acidly.

((XD XD I love it))
