truce.

"Relax, would you rather I look good or like a hot mess?" Lara mused puckering her lips and looking herself over one last time before coming out of the bathroom and glancing at the boy. "See, isn’t this better?"

"I'm sure you look equally as lovely either way," He sighed into nothing, turning to the bathroom door as he heard her exit, "See? Positively radiant, just like an hour ago."

Bash nodded in satisfaction as she admitted to thinking about it, his hand raised in dismissal, "Why not? Strangers are the best people to ask, what do you have to lose, right?" He asked, chuckling shortly with a curt nod, "Aren't we all a little bit insane? I think I heard that in a movie or something once."

"I have to go downtown and buy some incense cause I ran out and my house can’t smell bad, Then I have to clean out my pantry I’m sure you can help with that, you like food right? After that I have to do laundry… I hate being an adult.”

"I'm sure your house won't smell bad just because you don't have that funky stuff burning at all hours of the day. As long as that food isn't rotten and bug infested, sure. Why don't you just get a slave or something?"

“Sesbastian? What- are we old age vampires now? I swear, the names in this place.” It was another recognized but formal name to add to the list of those belonging to the people of the house. Someone shouted for her inside, but she ignored their calls, focusing on.. Sebastian. “Oh, honey. If only I could discuss the details.” 

"Sebastian," He repeated in confirmation, nodding his head once, letting out a laugh under his breath, "Something like that," Dismissing the fact it almost sounded like an insult. He turned at the sound of a shout, glancing back at the girl, "Was that for you? Won't you get whipped or something for not responding on hands and knees?" He smirked directly at her, "What am I going to do? Go dob us both in?"

Sebastian narrowed his eyes slightly, his lips curving into a small smile, "Perhaps," He drawled, continuing out of amusement, "No one has ever annoyed you to that point? Wouldn't it be funny to hit them over the head? Hard." He tried not to laugh at himself as he relaxed into the conversation, "I think it'd be easy to get away with, too."

Sebastian couldn't help but feel bad from the moment she opened her mouth, "Oh, no... It's okay, I was just kidding." He tried to brush it off with a laugh, "Normally people don't respond so nicely to that."

"Alright. Okay, then. Good, you're very welcome." Bash laughed under his breath at the girls response, extending his hand, "Sebastian."

"What does a moment mean in girl talk?" Sebastian sighed, settled against the wall, "What's the hold up?"
