"The sun is so nice today," she says, looking up at the sky, before she lies down on the grass. "Have you ever fallen asleep here?" She giggles at the thought. If Gracia had a backyard as big as this, she probably would nap outside. She'd stay outside actually. There's so much to do. "I imagine it's even prettier at night, right?" She's always been the type to focus and notice the little things that might make her happy, as someone who grew up in a very difficult environment.

– “HI, SORRY, PROMISE I’M NOT FOLLOWING YOU...HAHA!” she puts her hands up in mock surrender, but really, she isn’t following him ! “ i was just also grabbing lunch here, i swear, ” if she’s acting weird around him, it’s because she feels weird around him, but she flashes him a smile for good measure, but for some reason she just feels GUILTY, maybe just because she has information that could make bash feel safer and she’s actively not going to divulge it. “ i can pay for yours, by the way, on me. ”

– DOES HE REALLY HAVE TO BE EVERYWHERE? her internship, her suite, her fucking trip to paris, and yes, of course...frankfurt. he’s a spineless fly buzzing around ( or, are flies already spineless ? ) and she’s doing her best to TOLERATE it, but he’d better make himself scarce before she snaps. “ where’s nudge ? ” claire asks, setting her drink down on the bar for a second as she grabs his attention. “ thought everyone was... ‘coupling up’ tonight. ”

nik had to wonder if it could possibly be considered heterosexual to ask another man to dinner. it wasn’t that weird, right? like, they were never able to go to roseville usually, so it wouldn’t be odd to ask bash if he wanted to try this restaurant with him. he had to wipe his hands off on his jeans, but nik managed to convince himself that this would be fine, nonetheless. he just needed to stop tugging at his shirt sleeves like a little kid and get this over with now, before the next bus left. “hey, bash!” he called out after the other man. “are you, uh, are you going into town? ‘cause i’ve heard a lot about this cool little pub and i’m dying to check it out. with someone.” nik tried not to cringe at himself. nailed it.

– AYLIN’S APPEARANCE IN ROOM 508 IS NOT UNCOMMON, in fact, she’s probably in noah’s room more than her own, but it is for a different reason today. “ oh, good, you’re home ! ” she beams, which bash probably doesn’t expect because she’s usually not there to see him, but she has a specific purpose today and honestly, it’s because she needs his help – and he’s the person she’s most comfortable asking, all things considered. “ what are you up to ? ”

– “HEY, GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE!” she beams, standing next to bash at the snack table. “ i didn’t...die at the last event, obviously. i was going to text you, but then i didn’t have your number. and then i forgot, ” aylin tells him, brushing her hair over her shoulder.

– AFTER THE EVENTS OF THE NIGHT, AYLIN CAN FEEL HERSELF NEEDING A BREAK. her clue is hard enough without the legitimate distractions of the night, and if this is a glimpse at her future, then perhaps she’s struggling a bit ? either way, she’s too fired up to stay on the ballroom floor without throwing a fit so she pushes her way through the doors out to the terrace. it’s finally autumn and getting chilly out, but enough people have snuck in and shared the contents of their flasks to keep her warm – it’s not the crisp scent of cold air that catches her attention, after all. “ are you – ” she whips her head around to lock eyes with the other person on the terrace, “ is that marijuana ? ”

now that break was over, nik really had to get serious about finals. not too serious, evidently, because when he needed to spar, his first thought was to ask bash, which... was objectively a bad idea. it would be hard to focus on sparring when he had fucking bash to look at. but he didn’t wanna bug alec too much, claire would probably kill him and enz wasn’t willing so... bash was the most logical choice, right? “thanks for helping me out with this,” nik said, busy taping up his knuckles and bouncing on the balls of his feet. “and- and don’t go easy on me, okay? i need to get good.” he paused, shooting bash a smile. “okay, maybe go a little easy on me. let me get a punch in.”
