After almost fifteen minutes of Winter and Aether people watching, Blue reappeared with Warren at their side, their hair slightly dishevelled. They cleared their throat, causing all the attention to return to them, and they smiled as everyone settled into the living space again. Jasper walked over to him, and Aether and Winter raised an eyebrow at him, daring him to speak. The human groaned before turning on his heel and walking away. “See, I told you it would be fine.” “Jasper looks like he’s about to cry,” Aether whispered. “I don’t mind standing beside you; he can sit down.” “He always looks like he’s about to cry. Shut up and stay seated.” “Now that we’ve had a short break and have had some fresh air rotate through the room, we should focus on what we plan to do next,” Blue said.
