Sure, there was a few people in Aether's pack, but this? This was huge. Her mouth was wide open, and when she glanced at Maggie, she saw that she was as shocked as she was. "I know," she then nudged the other girl with her elbow. "Hey, why don't we go sit over there? It seems they've got room for a few more people." Aether pointed at a group sitting at a near table, recognizing the girl that bumped into Fade earlier. On the mention of Fade, Aether wondered where he was. Surely they would've run into each other by now?
Magdalena looked over to where Aether was pointing, then nodded. "I'm always up for meeting new people. I do want to find my friend at some point though." She then led Aether to the empty seats she had pointed to.
Oliver relaxes in his seat and slides down slightly, growing tired after eating and the long day.
Fade peaks in the room and gives a nervous smile, then seeing how everyone had spotted him he had no choice but to go in. "Heeeyyy everyone~" he then looks at Barry and gives him the "You and I are gonna have a talk together later. In private." look but disguises it as a firm smile.
“Hello!” Oliver says, still cheery but with a faint sleepiness on the edge o his voice
Barry's heart plummeted when he saw the look Fade was giving him, but he didn't let it show. He waved his friend over, catching a glimpse of Magdalena and the pretty girl with her.
"Sup," he says to Oliver, sitting in an empty chair beside Barry. He looks at Peony and his eyes light up. "Oh! You're that girl from earlier! Sorry about all the confusion, I had to be at my room to open the door for this helpless dork" he gestures to Barry.
Arriving at the table, Aether decided to announce themselves. "Hiya strangers!!" she said loudly, spooking one of them. She grimaced. "Sorry 'bout that. Anyways, this is my pal Magdalena." she jabbed a thumb at Maggie, who hopefully wasn't too embarrassed by Aether. She then noticed Fade, who also coincidently got at the table at the same time as them. Aether gave him a smile and a small wave.
(is she talking to Fade and Peony and Barry and the others?)
Oliver waves excitedly, “hello new best friends!” He giggles
Barry grinned up at Magdalena and the pretty girl– Aether. "Hey, I'm Barry. Me and Mag know eachother already."
"Hey everyone! I guess this is my friend group for the rest of the year." Magdalena chuckled after she spoke, observing the others in the group.
"'Ello." Sym said, raising his hand in greeting. He enjoys watching these people, they are interesting…
Aether giggled. These people were funny, a good trait for possible new best friends. "Mind if we sit?" Aether asked, gesturing to the open seats.
"I dunno if my opinion matters, but go ahead." Beau said, setting down the pencil he'd been fidgeting with for the past few minutes.
"We don't mind at all.", Barry smiled. "Hey, Mag."
Fade snorts as he sees Barry eyeing Aether. "Well I hope I'm not a complete stranger since we met earlier, but yea take a seat" He says to Aether and Magdalena.
"Thanks. I really thought Barry would be the only person I talked to this year." Magdalena joked as she sat down.
"I thought so too.", Barry teased Magdalena, his eyes falling on Aether again, but only briefly. Wow, she's pretty. And wow, you're a huge idiot.
"Thank you!" Aether slid into a seat between who she hoped was Barry and Fade. "If you don't mind me asking, what are y'all's names?"
(Heya I gotta go for now but I think I'll be on later sooo…ill cy'all I guess)
Fade looks at Aether. "Name's Fade and I know you from this morning, right? The one who rushed off?"
(bye):
Barry smiled at Aether. "That's Peony, that's Beau, and that's Oliver.", he introduced, pointing them out to her. "Oh, and that's Sym."
"Yup, nice to meet cha." He says.
sorry for the one liner, im sick//
(you're good)
Aether blushed from embarrassment. "Yeah, sorry about that. I kinda panic when I'm late." She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, awkwardly half-laughing.
Magdalena sighed dramatically. "The one downside of making friends is remembering their names. I'll probably mix everyone's names up, so I apologize in advance."
Barry rolled his eyes jokingly at his old friend. "Of course you will."
“I do that too! Don’t worry about it!” He says with a laugh
