He let go of Alister at the last second, but in turn that meant that since Alister wasn't holding onto him anymore it meant that Alister was prone to be affected by his charmspsak and no longer see him, so he moved to run and then bumped into charlie, causing charlie to see him based on touch to see kinda thing of his ability.
Evan nodded to august, and followed with alister trent and noel out the door.
Charlie was following the search party to see them off when she felt something bump against her leg. For a minute she freaked out.
“Ah!” Then the sight of Matteo came into focus. “Oh, there you are. Where’d you run off to, kid? C’mon, we’ll see the search party off.”
She led him down the hall and out the door.
Before they all exited the gates, they turned back and waved at Charlie, Dani, and the other guards at the door.
“Godspeed!” Dani shouted as the gates slowly opened and everyone filed out.
He walked with Charlie to say goodbye, willing the tears from his eyes and sniffling as he did, and waving goodbye even though the only one that could see him at the moment was charlie, Alister knew that matteo wouldn't miss the chance to see him off.
Evan waved goodbye to everyone before going up to Alister.
trent moved to noel.
With Arden being so small and Malachi being so large, there wasn't really a place to lay his head anyway. He just let it hang off the side, but carefully so that the pain wouldn't worsen.
"Vas-tu– Are you just going to keep carrying me like this the whole way?" he asked. "Surely you'll get tired at some point."
"That a challenge malachi?"
She raised a brow at him, "Because i can and will carry you all the way just to prove a point."
She stared at him, trying to interpret any meaning she could find in his eyes.
Quin was just watching and walking.
He smirked, seeing a way to get back at her.
“Oh, of course not,” he said sweetly, moving his hand to caress her jaw. “I’m only concerned. You’re so small and cute, I’d hate to see you tire yourself over me. My, not only do you think I’m pretty, you’re now trying to prove yourself to me as well?” He tutted. “There’s no need for that, mon chéri. Why don’t you let me carry you instead?”
She would have swatted his hand away from her jaw if she wasnt carrying him, instead she was just forced to let him do so, with his big hands that her chin seemed to slide perfectly into, like a puzzle piece.
"I am not trying to prove anything to you, and i do not think your pretty." she glared at him, still holding him.
"i think im good, sac poubelle" hey maybe with this he would think about stopping wanting to go after her, and she could be at peace,but did she really want him to stop?
she didnt know if she would like the answer.
Her words and the way she glared at him made him laugh, but then that made his head pound so it eventually faded. "Sac poubelle! That's a new one." He sighed. "Ah, you're so cute when you're in denial."
He moved his hand from her jaw to her cheek.
He walked with Charlie to say goodbye, willing the tears from his eyes and sniffling as he did, and waving goodbye even though the only one that could see him at the moment was charlie, Alister knew that matteo wouldn't miss the chance to see him off.
Evan waved goodbye to everyone before going up to Alister.
trent moved to noel.
The gates closed. The search party moved northwest.
Noel still hung close to Alister, and as they moved onward, he asked her, "Are you sure you don't want to come? I'm sure August would understand if you decided to sit out if you're not doing okay."
She looked at him, grateful that he was concerned, but said, "I'm coming. It's alright, being on this mission will help me get my mind off things. Besides, August isn't the only one who wants to see Malachi."
"But are you alright?"
"I… I don't know."
She glanced at Trent. "Hey, idiot."
Alister saw Evan coming up to him and his eyes lit up. He shyly held out his hand, wondering if Evan would take it.
Evan noticed as alister held out his hand and he went and accepted it, although shyly.
"Hey." He smiled at alister, offering noel a sympathetic look, before looking back at Alister.
Trent looked at Noel with a slightly concerned look, but also caring. "Hey noel."
Her words and the way she glared at him made him laugh, but then that made his head pound so it eventually faded. "Sac poubelle! That's a new one." He sighed. "Ah, you're so cute when you're in denial."
He moved his hand from her jaw to her cheek.
"i am not cute!" She huffed at him, glaring at him intensely as her cheeks once again heated up against her want.
"your just stupid and annoying when you think your right." She grumbled, looking away as she walked forward with him in her arms. She ended up stumbling over a big twig, because she wasn't looking where she was going, and fell right into Malachi as they fell down, her face in his chest.
“Well, that’s your opinion,” he smirked. “Not mine. And you can change my opinion as easily as I could change yours.”
Then he laughed again. “Am I really that stupid if I’m-“ he was cut off when she tripped, and he reflexively put his arms around her as they fell to the ground. For a minute he stayed still, trying to recover and keep his head from spinning, arms around Arden with her face in his chest.
“Are you alright?” He asked, sincerely concerned. “See, you’re falling left and right. I should carry you.”
He slowly got up, keeping her in his arms. Once he was standing, he held her in the same position she held him, though with her small body she could easily lay her head on his chest, almost looking like a child.
Evan noticed as alister held out his hand and he went and accepted it, although shyly.
"Hey." He smiled at alister, offering noel a sympathetic look, before looking back at Alister.
Trent looked at Noel with a slightly concerned look, but also caring. "Hey noel."
He smiled wide as Evan accepted his hand, blushing slightly. “Hey.” He tried not to show his flustering or excitement.
Noel gave a weary smile for both of them, but it faded quickly. Chuckling dryly, she said, “O’Shea called you wolf-boy. You think it fits?”
The group walked through the back alleys, and thankfully no aliens or suspicious looking humans were around.

Evan smiled shyly while holding his hand and blushing slightly. "Hey" he almost let out a soft chuckle at how they were acting, and how alister was acting adorably.
"i think i could work it, run it through the works." He smoothed his hair back away from his face as a joke.
He kept his eyes and ears out for any aliens or foot steps
“Well, that’s your opinion,” he smirked. “Not mine. And you can change my opinion as easily as I could change yours.”
Then he laughed again. “Am I really that stupid if I’m-“ he was cut off when she tripped, and he reflexively put his arms around her as they fell to the ground. For a minute he stayed still, trying to recover and keep his head from spinning, arms around Arden with her face in his chest.

He slowly got up, keeping her in his arms. Once he was standing, he held her in the same position she held him, though with her small body she could easily lay her head on his chest, almost looking like a child.
"im fine." She grumbledShe was extremely embarrssed and flustered though she wasn't enough to pass out, she had ended up covering up her face with her hands, meaning she didn't have much to keep herself up right while being held, so she ended up leaning against his chest.
She eventually removed her hands from her face crossing her arms with an upset expression, though her face was still somewhat red.
He just smiled at her innocently. “Okay, whatever you say.”
Chuckling at seeing her flustered again and covering her face, he suddenly stopped when she leaned on his chest, getting a little flustered himself. He grinned though, seeing her red, upset face with her crossed arms.
”Ami mignon~” he teased. In the soft dappled light, parts of his dreadlocks looked as if they were made of gold or bronze. His eyes glittered playfully as he looked upon her.
(What does Ami Mignon mean?)
She looked up at him when he said that, seeing the gold in his dreads even though it might not be there when she looked away.
She flustered more as she looked at him upsettedly. "you know i can technically tell what your saying." She pouted at him, which looked adorable most likely. "and while i disagree with the cute part, i guess it's okay for you to call me friend. Since, that's what we are." Seems she finally accepted the whole friend reality thing.
He let go of Alister at the last second, but in turn that meant that since Alister wasn't holding onto him anymore it meant that Alister was prone to be affected by his charmspsak and no longer see him, so he moved to run and then bumped into charlie, causing charlie to see him based on touch to see kinda thing of his ability.
Evan nodded to august, and followed with alister trent and noel out the door.
Charlie was following the search party to see them off when she felt something bump against her leg. For a minute she freaked out.
“Ah!” Then the sight of Matteo came into focus. “Oh, there you are. Where’d you run off to, kid? C’mon, we’ll see the search party off.”
She led him down the hall and out the door.
Before they all exited the gates, they turned back and waved at Charlie, Dani, and the other guards at the door.
“Godspeed!” Dani shouted as the gates slowly opened and everyone filed out.
Matteo stayed near Charlie, almost clinging to her leg as he watched Alister leave, very worried that something would happen to him like something happened to his parents, like when they told him to run but they weren't right behind him like they said they would be.
He almost let out a slight whimper, please com back safe…please …
Evan smiled shyly while holding his hand and blushing slightly. "Hey" he almost let out a soft chuckle at how they were acting, and how alister was acting adorably.
"i think i could work it, run it through the works." He smoothed his hair back away from his face as a joke.
He kept his eyes and ears out for any aliens or foot steps
The siblings chuckled at Trent’s remark, the laughter making Noel feel better. She didn’t want to admit it, but she felt almost dirty, tainted. Why, she wasn’t completely sure. Perhaps the numbness in response to what had happened to her was fading. She leaned on her brother’s shoulder.
Alister still stared at Evan, rather unable to look away. Ever since last night, he felt more drawn to him, added with how he took care of that disgusting guy who forced himself on Noel. Perhaps this was what a crush felt like. Unfortunately, he had no idea what to say to Evan.
She looked up at him when he said that, seeing the gold in his dreads even though it might not be there when she looked away.
She flustered more as she looked at him upsettedly. "you know i can technically tell what your saying." She pouted at him, which looked adorable most likely. "and while i disagree with the cute part, i guess it's okay for you to call me friend. Since, that's what we are." Seems she finally accepted the whole friend reality thing.
“Yes, I know,” he said, still smiling. He couldn’t help but quietly go, “Awww,” when she pouted, it was so adorable.
Then he jumped a little in excitement, bowing his head to touch noses with her. ”Nous sommes amis, nous sommes amis, oui! Tu es un ami très mignon.”
Her eyes widened at him reaching his head down to touch noises with her and she flustered even more at the fact that his face was so close she could almost see all the hairs connecting into his head, or the fact his lips looked extremely soft and delicate, even for a man's lips.
For a moment he paused, entranced by the way her eyelashes fluttered in surprise when he got close, how her cheeks flushed with pink and heat. Then he stopped. Maybe he was being too friendly. Surely all his injuries must be still affecting him and he was probably losing his sense of awareness for his surroundings. There were important things to think about than this. She looked uncomfortable.
He gave her a small smile so she wouldn’t be too put off, and raised his head to look ahead of him. There was still a ways to go.
