Emu’s Hideout

[☆。*。☆。]

“Warning my brother is a little…” She pauses. “Protective of me.”

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

“What do you mean?” She says.

[☆。*。☆。]

"Ever our parents died he's been super overprotective." Emi sighs. "He says he doesn't want anything bad to happen to me."

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

((Gtg))

“Oh.” She looked like she wanted to say something else.

[☆。*。☆。]

“Oh what?” Emi asks, trying on different hats and putting on different makeup.

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

“I was going to ask something, but I didn’t want to be rude,” She frowns.

[☆。*。☆。]

“Feel free to ask any questions.” Emi says.

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

She looks surprised, then, “Do you know how they died?” She whispers.

[☆。*。☆。]

“Dragon pox.” Emi says, looking around the room, as if she needed to find something.

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

“I didn’t know muggles could get dragon pox.” She whispers. “Oh! I didn’t mean to say that aloud! I’m sorry, I’m so insensitive,”

[☆。*。☆。]

“No it’s fine.” Emi says. “I think my mom also had cancer but I don’t know.”

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

“What’s that?” She asks.

[☆。*。☆。]

“It’s a disease.” Emi reply’s.

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

“Oh. I’m sorry,” She says quietly, “For the loss, you know. I’m so bad at comforting people,”

[☆。*。☆。]

Emi’s face softens for a moment but it suddenly hardens to a slight grin. “You’re fine.” She says.

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

Ophelia noticed the expression. “Are you ok?”

[☆。*。☆。]

“I’m fine.” Emi says.

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

“Ok.” She then stares at the wall for a while, not breaking the silence.

[☆。*。☆。]

A small orange cat curls around Emi’s foot. “There you are!” She says to the cat. “I’ve been looking for you.”

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

“You have a cat!” She exclaims, smiling brightly, “I love cats!”

((Do you want to take a break from this one and do Nico and Lana for a bit so it doesn’t get confusing?))

[☆。*。☆。]

(If you want to then sure but I don’t really care.)

[☆。*。☆。]

“Her name is Aya.” Emi nods.

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

((Ok thanks))

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

“That’s so pretty!”

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

((Yeah I just wanted to answer quick sorry lol))

[☆。*。☆。]

(It’s fine.)

[☆。*。☆。]

“I know!” Emi says, placing her cat down on a nearby chair.

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

((I have to read through it real quick- I forgot what was going on lol))

[☆。*。☆。]

(Same lol 😆)

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

Ophelia smiles.

[☆。*。☆。]

Emi smiles back.

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

((Idk what now lol))

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

((Gtg, sorry))

[☆。*。☆。]

Emi started playing a soft beat on the drums while humming along to it.

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

Ophelia watches, still smiling simply.

[☆。*。☆。]

Her tempo starts to speed up, her eyes closed, deeply focused, like she’d done it a million times before.

[Addie✨Lovegood✨Gilmore]

“You’re so good,” Ophelia said, tapping her foot along.

[☆。*。☆。]

Emi continues to play and smiles, keeping her eyes closed.
