“I’m just going to lay here til the end of time.” Balo was laying on the ground, staring up at the clouds. “It’s comfy, and there’s clouds! Look, that one looks like Nessie! And that one is a werewolf.” Of course, they were simply clouds but to her they looked like they were in the shape of the things she was listing. “Do you think we’ll have these in France? Clouds.” She frowns, sitting up as the thought that she really didn’t want to leave yet comes back. This had been home for years, and now, she was going to have to leave it behind. “We can still go on adventures even if we’re in Europe, right?”

“Thank you, Mr. Branwell, we were ecstatic to be reunited as well.” For the first time tonight Ches’s smile is actually genuine, how many more hours of fake smiles was she going to have to keep up. “I was intending to tell you when I was over for dinner later this week, but I suppose the cat’s out of the bag now.” Although her smile quickly becomes sickly sweet when France and Serissa’s father is dragged away, and her chances for a genuinely enjoyable yet polite conversation are ripped from her. “I swear if we don’t get out of here soon, I’m just going to make a scene and forget appearances, is the study door still crowded?” She whispers between her teeth to Avery. Her father’s study was locked, but it was the only door from this party that had an escape route that wouldn’t get them caught. The sooner she could get to that door without anyone trying to follow them, the better. “Although if we give it an hour, my ex may make one for us. He’s been drinking a bit too much champagne.” She glances over to the last place she saw James, his cousins still on either side of him. “And I’d rather not hear all about how much he misses me tonight, it’s a dinner, not a pity party.”

“So, I was thinking that maybe we should drive up and see if we can find Champ. If you’d be interested?” Maybe Balo wasn’t going to get to try to meet the Loch Ness Monster this year, but she didn’t see why they couldn’t try to meet her long lost cousin on Lake Champlain. It wasn’t that far of a trip. “Unless you’ve already found him, of course....” Although she feels like Avery had seen a lake monster, she’d have heard it by now. “I’ve just always wanted to meet him, you know? Is that weird?”

“Avery!” Ches loops her arm into the redhead’s quickly as she falls in line with her friend, “how’s football going? Are you having fun? Do you think anyone would mind if I tried to sneak a quick game in with you guys? It’s been forever since I played and it’s really not my sport we could divide the teams so I’m on Maia’s and you have an advantage it’d be great.” It was worth consideration at the very least, she supposed, although then again they were playing with a bunch of children maybe she’d be able to score a goal if she tried. “The kids are being angels for you too, right?”

So maybe it was obvious Balo was avoiding Avery when she practically tried to run in the opposite direction every time she’d seen her since the event in the gymnasium. But, at this point Balo didn’t care it was obvious. Maybe it’d make it all the more apparent she had absolutely no interest in talking to her, and she’d eventually just stay away from Balo like she wanted her to. Still, when she all but runs directly into the girl on her way back from class - it’s a bit harder to run. Still, she doesn’t say anything, just tries to walk away and hoping that maybe Avery wouldn’t realize it was her. That’d make avoiding a conversation easier, right? She hoped it would, at least.

“No, I haven’t seen Lucielle, go ask Ian.” Ches doesn’t even glance towards Avery when she hears someone come up behind her with an arrow nocked, her focus on the target before she takes another deep breath and lets the arrow fly. She only turns to look at her friends once it’s embedded into the target, pausing her practice to see what she was really after. “So, what’s up? Don’t tell me Emmett spilled we were discussing searching for Waitoreke when he comes to visit. You’re invited, I swear, I was just waiting to mention it.” She reaches back for another arrow, turning towards the target and taking another deep breath, holding it as she nocks the arrow again and releasing the two at the same time. “I’m multi-tasking today, Katniss, forgive me.”
