Tori leaned on the bar’s counter, and stirred her drink idly, and wondered whether it was worth it to make some sort of excuse to leave, even if she was having a decent time. The good news was that Finn still didn’t suspect a thing even if Tori sometimes acted unusually (for her) around him. The bad news was that he seemed to be under the impression that they were friends. Which... was fine, she supposed, because he seemed like exactly the kind of person that she would enjoy hanging out if he wasn’t her half-brother. She went through this internal dialogue in her head every single time they ended up in the same place.

 “Don’t look over your shoulder just yet, but I think the person at the end of the bar just tried to pour their huge drink into a Nalgene bottle, but reconsidered it.” She winced, and then looked down at her drink again, so it wouldn’t be too suspicious. “Okay... You can look now-- they’re trying again.” She snorted a poorly-concealed laugh, hoping that it was just as absurd a sight as the first time.

Chloe and Noelle are on a trip to visit Chloe’s family back in London for two weeks!! They’re having a great time, and Chloe’s grandpa has already provided his approval on the relationship. Grandpa is already bragging about how great Noelle is to his cousin/frenemy (who happens to be Nikhil’s grandfather).

Chloe ambushed Finn at the first opportunity she had. “Do you have time to help me? If you don’t have time to help me, let me know, but I’ve got a problem and you’re the only one I can ask!” She waved one of her arms in a circular motion, hoping it would help her communicate better (it did not). “Because it’s a problem about you! Not that you did anything wrong, I swear, but- I ah! Sorry. Do you have the time?”

“Finn!” Chloe called out excitedly when she popped her head into the veterinary hospital. She had been hoping to get a glimpse of her girlfriend with the flimsy excuse of bringing by pastries leftover from a breakfast seminar for the office. While they weren’t made by her or Noelle, the were still good, and it would be awful to see them go to waste. For now, though, she was excited to see Noelle’s business partner. “I’m so glad to see you! I still feel a bit bad that I I kept Noelle from you for a couple of weeks, but now I’m back too. Tell me all of the things! Are you and Briar doing well together? What’s been going on with you?”
