Kieran initially believed he was doing a good deed when he invited the other to his mansion the moment the snowfall began, but he was starting to feel a lingering sense of regret as the hours dragged on. He was fairly sure that it wasn’t safe to go outside and it wouldn’t be for a while. He had been listening to the other complain for a few minutes, rubbing his temples in agitation. He was starting to believe that letting the other freeze to death outside would have been more tolerable than this. He found himself interjecting in the middle of the boy’s rant, “Do you ever shut up? I don’t mean to sound rude, I’m just wondering.” He dragged his hand down the side of his face, annoyance more than visible on his face. Surely his father would have scolded him if he had overheard his statement. 

Want me to stay? A soft sigh fell from Willow’s lips before she pulled her legs up into her chest, arms wrapping around them. She wasn’t the type to be openly clingy when it came to her friends but ever since Frank had gone temporarily missing, she couldn’t help but feel worried about the boy. She pursed her lips before finally speaking up, “You wouldn’t mind?” She locked eyes with Frank, a sad smile appearing on her lips. “I don’t want to force you to stay, but I also want to spend more time with you.” She wet her lips. “I know I might not have shown it initially, but you scared the shit out of me when you disappeared. Your sister and Brian freaking out really worried me.”

A look of surprise etched itself across Eden’s features the moment she caught sight of a face that she hadn’t expected to see here at the event. At first, she thought she was imagining things, but a second look proved that she wasn’t. Before long she decided to approach the other when his friends were no longer around, a bright smile appearing on her lips as she stood in front of her brother. “Wow, are my eyes playing tricks on me or are you really here? This is probably the last place on earth that I expected to find you.” She teased, a chuckle leaving her. “Who do I have to thank for dragging you here?” 

Wanting to disappear for a little while, Kieran had made himself barely visible to others. He was lurking about and watching everyone from afar. A certain partygoer sparked his interest and he essentially floated over to the other. Once he was in a useful distance, he made himself solid and visible once more. A smile worked its way onto his lips as he examined the other over, “You look almost as miserable as I feel right now. I feel as if we could have a competition for who hates this event more. Although that begs the question, why are you here?”
