     “hey, this is going to sound really weird, but—”  he clutched his sketchbook as if his life depended on it. “the lighting here is GREAT, and the shading on your face is unmatchable. would you mind if i sketched you super quick? it’ll take less than ten minutes.” pause. “sorry—i’m harvey.”

“louis ?” the name of her little brother fell from her lips. it was him without a doubt but he had deer like features now. lucky guess he had dressed as one for the holiday. but that did not mind in that moment. all that mattered was that he was there now. “i’ve missed you brother.” she admitted and embraced him tightly.

"simon.” she sighed before taking the other into her arms. she was glad to see him here. to know that she wasn’t alone. but then it registered, and she was slowly pulling back to look at him. “wait, i thought the mark was gone?”

what was it now, twice ?? four times ??  he could hardly keep track of all the times in which someone had decided to betray or end him. how foolish of anyone to assume he wouldn’t escape from wherever he was, no matter what. “ man, it feels good to be back. " a toothy smile, “ and what do you know, you get the honor of being my first meal. "

“hugo, i didn’t know you were here too!” not that dominique could say she was particularly surprised. it seemed sooner or later all of her cousins would be here. maybe they already were and she just hadn’t seen them yet. “oh, wait, you know who i am right? i’ve heard memory stuff can be an issue here but i think i’m pretty hard to forget.” and luckily it seemed like it hadn’t affected any of her immediate family yet. that seemed like the sort of thing dominique definitely didn’t have enough tact to handle.
