Lucia handed Hazel her arm, showing all the nasty blue bruises now appearing on it. "I guess I do Mr. Hallmark. But I had my hair done first. Does that mean you look like me?" She grinned at him. "Oh, and thanks for saving my butt earlier today. Who knows, I might've run around like a zombie, screaming and killing everyone." It was so easy to be around him, he had been her best friend from 'the gang' for a long long time.

"That was not comforting either!"
"It is the way of the Creed. Usually our deaths are violent but quick."
Hazel took a another sip from his Dr.Pepper and said "It probably won't be comepletly gone in the morning but it won't hurt any more." Taking her finger she smeared the paste over her bruises careful not to push down and got some gauze out after wiping her fingers off on a kleenex. Puttin the gauze on it so the paste wont get everywhere she smiled and said "There you go"

Kayden shrugged. "No big deal," he promised. "And don't worry, I would have stopped you from killing everyone." He ran a hand through his own hair a few times; it fell back into his eyes when he lowered his arm. "I've gotta get used to this," he commented, meaning the color. "I've been used to being a blonde hottie all my life." He chuckled.
"Well..." she almost stopped, but forced herself to go on, "you're still a hottie." She smiled and nodded thanks to Hazel. "I'll walk around and look like a zombie now." She lifted up her other arm, which was also getting covered in bruises. "Hand-to-hand with a Shade probably wasn't such a good idea..."

"Would you like me to get the other bruises?"she asked still with a good bit of goop left over. "I still have enough"she said smiling. Hazel leaned over the arm of the couch and drank some mroe Dr.Pepper. "Wait where the heck is Shia and Ash?"she asked noticing they weren't there.

Kayden grinned, his face a little red. "Why thank you, Cutie," he said, and winked at her - he realized he'd been doing that a lot lately. He took a sip of Sprite and suddenly let out a loud burp; then cracked up laughing and pinched his nose. "Ow, dude, that hurt my nose so bad!" he laughed wildly.
Lucia started laughing too, giving Hazel her other arm, her left one had been covered in bandages and looked quite strange. "I'll turn into a mummy soon. Oooooooooh~" She raised her arms and moaned, scooting closer to Kayden.

Kayden laughed and pretended to try and fend her off. "Get away, mummy!" he cried playfully, but in contradiction to his words, put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her towards him so their sides were touching, completely casually and comfortably. It would look like any friendly, brother-sister gesture.
Lucia grinned and put her arms back down. Her skin felt warm where it touched his...was he sick from the rain they had just ridden through? Probably not. She almost laughed to herself from the stupidity. She yawned, "Boy what a day, eh? Fighting, puppies, what else? Rain. Ah rain..." She smiled, the rain was still pattering on the roof. "Don't they say that rain is the most romantic weather element?"

Kayden smiled crookedly, glancing at her. "That mysterious 'they' again," he chuckled, shaking his head. "And 'they' might..." he trailed off, looking around the room, casually playing with Lucia's short hair. He knew it would be so easy to just catch her eyes and hear her thoughts...but for some reason, he didn't want to. He felt like it would almost be spoiling something...
