Willa found the Commons with no trouble. She sat in a chair and started reading a novel in German.

Caden and Creme reached the commons of her dorm, making her sigh. "I still have no idea why I was put here," She crossed her arms in front of her chest.

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Which one would you rather be in?' Caden asked her, wondering which one she believed she would be sorted to. He knew before he got here that he would be a Marauder, or at least hoped he would be.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

She shrugged. "Marauders, maybe. Or maybe Kyuusho, I've heard it's full of people prideful and dangerous, like me," She walked over to one of the windows. "The sun is setting,"

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"I don't know if you're Marauder material," he told her honestly. "Kyuusho, maybe. But you've got to trust the system." He glanced over at the window she looked at and saw the colors. He wished they were still on the beach to see it, that would be nice...

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Whatever," Creme shrugged again and leaned against the window. "It is rather pretty, isn't it? I've always loved swimming in the water when the sun was setting,"

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

Caden nodded, daring to walk closer. "Then I'm sorry I pulled you away from it," he said. "We could have stayed longer, if you'd wanted.'

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Creme shrugged again. "Like I said, I don't really care very much," She kept staring at the sunset, almost mesmerized by it.

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

Caden looked at her, pretty sure that wasn't true, but he wasn't going to contradict her. "Well, it's still pretty. I wish we'd stayed."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Me too," She glanced back at him. "Do you have a girlfriend?" She asked rather bluntly.

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

He raised his eyebrows, surprised by the question. "Um...." he began, though he really wasn't sure if he did or didn't. They'd never even gone out on a real date before, but if she thought they were then.....yikes. He decided to risk it, because what were the chances that Whitlea would find out? "No, I don't."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Oh, that's disappointing," Creme shrugged. "You just looked like the kind of guy who would have a girlfriend. Strong, tall, handsome, plus you can turn into a wolf, what's not to love,"

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"It's not that disappointing," Caden said. "So long as I don't end up with my wife picked for me, I'm fine." He wasn't one to blush at compliments, especially ones given with such a straight face. It felt more like fact, however, which was why it was more embarrassing.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Well if you're not careful, you might end up tied down to the wrong kind of girl," Creme warned, flipping her braid in his direction. "Imagine if you had a girlfriend like my sister for example, you would be run ragged,"

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

Caden laughed. "I doubt that. She can't be that bad, really. As much as you talk about her, I sort of want to meet her now." He thought it was funny how much she talked about her sister just to put the girl down.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"You can meet her if you want, but know that she's annoying and nauseatingly-sweet," She leaned against the window again, and a few minutes later, Honey rushed into the room.

"My twin sense was going off!! What's wrong?!" She asked worriedly, running over to Creme and looking around nervously.

"Nothing, he wanted to meet you,"

((Uh, want to do a collab with Hunter and I?))

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

Caden rolled his eyes with a laugh before Honey ran in. "It wasn't urgent," he said, laughing more. "But hello. You must be....Creme's sister."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Honey nodded eagerly. "Yup! I sure am! I'm her.....twin! But we don't...like, look-alike, you know? But we're still twins!" She smiled, while Creme facepalmed.

"She HAS gotten stupider since I saw her last,"

((Well did you want to? Lol)

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Oh, be nice," Caden sighed and smiled at Honey again. "Twins don't always have to look alike. I've seen pictures of my mother and aunt together and they couldn't look more different."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Not that, just listen to the way she talks," Creme grumbled.

"Oh no, my nose is running again! Are there any tissues in here?!" Honey started to quickly look around for some, covering her nose in vain. "I can't let such a cute boy see snot dripping out of my nose!~"

((I don't know either, maybe we could come up with something and pitch it to him in the morning? I did still want to use my angel character))

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"I'm sorry, normally I have a handkerchief with me," Caden apologized. It was just a custom he was used to, carrying that sort of thing around. But he was wearing swimtrunks, so he didn't really have pockets for that...

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Honey finally found some tissues and loudly blew her nose, giggling. "That's so much better! Oh, sis, yours is running too!" She gasped and tried to offer Creme a tissue, but she pushed it away.

"Leave it be, it is a sign of my aquatic origins,"

((Well the two of us were originally making angel siblings, so maybe if you made another member of the family? Although we were having some trouble deciding what sort of powers they would have.))

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

Caden laughed out loud, finding this so extremely hilarious that he could barely breathe.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"What's so funny?" Creme demanded, glaring at Caden again. "As mermaids, we cry, sweat, and have runny noses more often than humans do. Honey is embarrassed by this, but I hold it as a symbol of my pride and origins,"

((I like that idea! But what exactly a trio of? He originally wanted to have ours be the children of the Mayan thunder god for more diversity, but said it wasn't a good idea since Mayan Gods demand sacrifices, and I suggested the Lithuanian thunder god instead and he declined.

I still like the elemental idea and was thinking maybe each could be a different representation of an element, like fire or something?))

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"I just think you two are hilarious," Caden said, holding his stomach. "I can see why you two don't get along, and it's very amusing, I'm sorry."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"I don't think it's very funny at all! I want us to get along better!" Honey glared at him. "We're like the only siblings at this school who don't get along!"

"I don't find it amusing either, it's rather sad in fact," Creme sniffled.

((I like that! Perfect!))

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Well, I think getting along needs to start with you two accepting that you're different," Caden said. "You both acknowledge it, but don't accept it."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"I accept it! But Creme won't because she's stubborn," Honey then gasped. "Forget I said that, I can't be mean to Creme!"

"I know I'm stubborn, it's my nature," Creme looked away.

((I call the wind one since mine is supposed to be a really fast fencer, I think it'd be fitting))

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"You don't have to give up your stubbornness," Caden assured her. "Accepting that you're different isn't any different than acknowledging it, it just opens the doorway to getting along.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Then we acknowledge it," They both said at the same time, staring at Caden.

"See? That wasn't hard at all!!~" She tightly hugged Creme, making her squirm in her grip.

"Don't hug me!" She cried.

((I hope Hunter's okay with lighting then))

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"No, you need to accept it," Caden said, trying not to laugh because they had messed up his words. This really was funny to him.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"We do," They both said at the same time again before Honey yawned. "I'm so tired! I'm going to bed!" She giggled and hurried off.

"I should be going to sleep too," Creme said simply.

((XD))

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

Caden's mouth dropped open in confusion. "You know, you two are more alike than you want to believe. I'm sure you'll get along one day," he told Creme.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Maybe," Creme simply shrugged. "She just needs to accept she is a goddess among magical creatures, then it'll be a lot easier for us to get along,"

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Hmm...." Caden said, considering it. "You know...." He stopped himself from saying he could help because he wasn't sure he actually could.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"What?" She stared him down, not going to let him leave until he said what he had on his mind.

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

He smiled. "You might be right. That's all," he said, hoping she believed that was it.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Creme kept staring at him, then eventually shrugged and walked away. "Whatever. Good night,"

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Good night," Caden said politely and then headed up to his own dorm. He wasn't yet tired, since the sun had just gone down, but he could rest, he was fine with that.

--End--

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

Aela opened the door and stepped inside, looking over her shoulder to make sure Cecil was close. "This is the place. Well, your place at any rate."

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

Cecil climbed up on the couch and curled up for a nap. She was feeling tired for some reason and felt it would be good for her, but didn't want to sleep in a bed, lest she go into a deep sleep.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Evelyn walked into the common room, trying to find a quiet place to read something. She flinched slightly when she noticed someone was already in the room, but since they were asleep she thought it would be okay. She sat down across from Cecil and started to read silently.

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

Cecil's ears perked up and she began to stir. So much for sleep... She rubbed her eyes and tried to locate where exactly the sound originated from.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Evelyn didn't notice and kept reading, her eyes studying her current page.

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

"Wh...who's there?' Cecil asked quietly.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

She blushed and held up her book to try and hide her face better. "I-it's just me....I'm trying to read," She responded in a whisper.

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

Cecil shook her head. "I...I don't know who "just me" is. Unless that's your name, which would be odd."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"E-Evelyn. Evelyn Shaw. That's my name," She blushed even more.

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

The young shapeshifter nodded. "I shouldn't share my last name, my sister says it's not safe, but I'm Cecil."
