"So...he did something stupid, felt bad, jinxed the both of you, and now you’re both stuck here." Shawn frowned with those words. Well that seemed like a pretty sucky reason. "I’ve never robbed anyplace, so I’m not really in a position to speak to that, but just..." He shook his head. "Wow. Sorry things turned out so wrong."

Another mobile post! So sorry!

Abigail nodded as Shawn recounted what she had said. She did not necessarily agree with the idea of being “stuck” here. In all reality it was more of a blessing to be in such a nice place away from their father, but she was not about to let anyone know that. She purses her lips in disagreement with his apology but the words that came out of her mouth said otherwise, “ no need to be sorry. I have gotten the chance to meet you now, haven’t I?”. She flashed him a half grin, amused in herself.

glancing to the side as willow and jasmine sat beside her, evangeline quietly listened as the girls introduced themselves to karter. having also been asked what her name is, evangeline spoke up, nice to meet you too, karter. i'm evangeline, but you can just call me eva, she said to the boy with a small shrug. with questions being thrown around between the twins and karter, eva didn't want to interject in the conversation. instead, she picked up her burger and took a bite, happily surprised that the food actually tasted decent. the girl had half expected the food to be tasteless or not taste good, but the burger really wasn't so bad. taking a few more bites eva looked back as willow mentioned who some people were. she noticed the male wearing a trench coat. isn't it a little hot for that? the teen wondered, drawing her attention back to the twins and karter after a moment. being asked why they were all here eva once more grew embarrassed because her being at the boarding house was a mistake. she wasn't actually supposed to be at a place for troubled kids, rather anxious ones. but thanks to her moms misreading, here she was. learning that both the twins were here for bullying issues evangeline grew nervous besides them. would they turn on her and begin to bully her? again, evangeline felt like she had to walk a fine line to stay on the good side of the people here. finishing off her burger, wiping her hands and face with a napkin, evangeline popped open the bag of chips she had grabbed. perking up as willow suddenly addressed her, evangeline nodded at the question. i don't mind going to the lake. i brought a bathing suit to wear, so swimming or something like that sounds good to me, eva answered with a smile. being around these other three people was taking her mind off of being yelled at by ms. potts previously.

hearing that it was he who had first grabbed the attention of the female, subsequently drawing her over to the small group of boys, brought dexter some joy. the statement definitely stroked the boys already oversized ego, causing a smile to land upon his face. with another question directed toward abigail, this time asked by milo, dexter listened as she explained that she was at the boarding house due to her brothers misdoings. raising an eyebrow at this and uttering a soft, oh, the teen grew interested as to what the reasoning is for her being here. would she tell? dexter surely wouldn't give away a hint of his backstory or reason for being at the house. he'd much rather lie just as easily than release the confidential truth the he stored, vaulted away for himself only to know. with his gaze being directed around the room toward where abigail's brother, adam, was sat, the boy took in the boys features. other than a few differences that dexter noted, such as eye color, the two, he supposed, looked closely related and could be easily pegged as siblings. next to the boy, laughing wildly, was a male known as johnathan. they had made for quick friends, huh. after examining the two boys for a brief moment, dexter returned his attention to the group that had formed. already he had met three others who seemed .. simple enough. nothing about any of them stood out to him. besides milo's anxiety and abigail's oozing confidence, the group looked to be normal enough. normal on the surface, at least. i'll figure things out about them soon enough. he thought.

before dexter could even ask further why abigail was here because of her brother, shawn beat him to it. please, so tell. i am curious as well, after all, and i believe someone here has said this already, but we are all here for a reason. sooner or later it will be known why each of us is here. with actual interested, he cocked his head and listened as abigail started her story off with "i drove the getaway car". so it was a robbing that the girl had participated in. finally! something interesting! something more than anxiety or anger issues! dexter was elated to have this glint of information on someone, though his face didn't convey these emotions. rather, he nodded along with a neutral expression. well now, we have a little thief on our hands do we? i should think to lock away my belonging from you, shouldn't i, dexter playfully said to abigail. or perhaps it is you who should lock her belongings, the playfully continued, offering her a wink and smile.

Shawn's gaze dropped to the table in front of him as Abigail spoke, not because of upset so much as awkwardness at the response, but that was fairly normal. The spotlight suddenly being turned on him in a group conversation generally took him by surprise. "I...I suppose not," He agreed. "I’m glad to have met you," He added, as not to further any awkwardness, or made her uncomfortable in turn.

Shawn shifted his gaze briefly to Dexter as the other boy spoke up. Well, that last sentence made no sense, so he raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. It was hardly any of his business, and if he was missing something obvious, he REALLY didn’t want to come off as stupid.

"That's great!" said Willow. "I think swimming would be good. You ok with that Karter?" Willow finished up her burger and started on her chips. She wanted to get out as fast as possible. Jasmine also couldn't wait and started to finish her food.

"Nice to meet'cha, Eva!" Karter nodded to her. Then swimming was mentioned. He hadn’t brought a swimsuit himself, but t-shirt and shorts worked just as well, he figured. "That’s fine by me! Gets us outta this crowded hall for a while," He pointed out. That was always a plus.

His evident shock only becoming more evident as he listened to Adam's hostile response, the boy growing defensive and making it clear that the two of them weren't on the same page, Jonathan blinked a couple of times and put all his effort on wrapping his head around what was happening right now; Did he just say pet? Favorite pet? Admittedly coming to a conclusion slower than he should have, simply staring blankly at the blue eyed boy across the way from him who was eating his food with little regard to what he'd just spoken, Jonathan only seemed to process the situation when Adam's eyes again met his, and he didn't bother to hold back his laughter as the hilarity of it all hit him like a ton of bricks. Almost immediately cracking into a smile and breaking into hysterics as he realized how ridiculous they both were being, unable to even mutter a word past his ongoing laughter, Jonathan placed one hand over his mouth as he tried to calm himself down and simultaneously let his other hand reach across the table to grab at one of Adam's.

"Oh my god, no...Adam, darling, that's not what I had asked." Barely squeezing those words out past his endless chuckles and occasional snorts, Jonathan shook his head and gave his partner's hand a gentle and reassuring squeeze as he began to settle down, his whole face lighting up as he gazed affectionately at the other boy (his amusement crinkling in the corners of his eyes) "God, no wonder you looked so offended just now...I swear, babe, I wasn't insulting your love for cats; I love them too, trust me. But...well, it's just...I asked you about your favorite food, not your favorite pet."

Abigail

Abigail shifted in her seat in amusement and confidently as Shawn stated that he was glad to have met her. A smile beaming across her cheeks. She took his statement as a compliment and in stride, completely oblivious to how insecure he was feeling due to her actions. Simply put, she was too focused on herself in this moment to worry about others.
Abigail finished her food as she then turned her attention to trench coat boy. Her mouth opened in faked surprise as she was accused of being a thief. “Well I would lock your things up if I were you, just to be safe. But I like to like on the edge so I won’t be doing so... What’s life without a little risk?” She stated, matching the boys playful tone as she shot him a wink.
Abigail really was having fun with the group, even if a majority of the amusement came from herself. Alas, all good things had to come to an end. She piled her trash on her plate before folding her arms on the table. She let out a sigh and looked around the group of misfits whom she sat among. “Well, I’m ready to go have some fun around here.” She stated very matter of factually. "Anyone up for a little adventure?" She asked openly. She really was unsure herself of what to do. However, the property was large enough that surely they could come up with something.

Adam

Adam's chewing slowed to a stop for a moment as his eye caught the brunette staring blankly at him. He lifted his right brow, his face twisted in confusion. Did he think I was stupid?? Why is he looking at me like that? Adam wondered with a swallow, baffled at why Jonathan was acting so strange. It just did not make sense and while Adam knew he was not the brightest, he also knew he was not an idiot. Jonathan seemed more of the laughing fool out of the two of them... Adam thought to himself, now a bit offended by the boys continued laughter.
His eyes followed the boys hand as it reached towards his own. Adam's heart took flight as the nerves kicked in. His eyes quickly scanned the room, looking for the gaze of the supervisors. They themselves seemed preoccupied with their own meals, so Adam took Jonathan's hand his leg bouncing in restlessness.
A smile crept across Adam's face as their hands touched. Jonathan's hand was as soft as silk. He could not help but to run his thumb mindlessly over the side of the brunettes hand, comforted by the repetitive motion and warmth of his touch. He almost forgot where he was entirely. That was until the boy spoke up. The word darling sending electricity down his spine. Adam smiled, his gaze flicking down towards their hands in embarrassment as a small hum of delight escaped his lungs. Despite Jonathan's continued laughter, Adam felt warm and at ease with the boy. It was only reinforced as the boy squeezed his hand and a new pet name, babe, favored his ears. Adams free hand took hold of his face, covering his lips and chin as his eyes seeked anything but Jonathan in complete self-consciousness. This was exacerbated as the boy explained the misunderstanding they had. A small ," Oh..." escaped him with an embarrassed smile. The hand that was covering his face fell to his lap. He rubbed it on his thigh as he apologized, "I'm sorry I misheard you... my favorite food is probably Mac N Cheese.".

Milo sat back and listened as Abigail described her past. Wow, that's actually pretty interesting, he thought. He had shoplifted a candy bar or two in his life, but certainly nothing on the level of what Abigail and her brother must have in order to be sent here. He was entertained, although a little concerned, with Abigail and Dexter's back and forth. He was fairly certain now, Dexter was looking to cause some kind of trouble. Or perhaps it was just talk... I'll find out soon enough, thought Milo. Although he somewhat missed hanging out in a more calm way with Shawn as they had at first, he was glad to have meet the other two, even if they seemed a little bit mischievous. His attention drew back to Abigail as she questioned the group. Milo thought carefully for a moment before responding. "You know what, why not? We're gonna be here for a while, we might as well try to have some fun." He grinned, surprised by his own boldness. Maybe hanging out with more confident people was rubbing off on him. He hoped that was the case - his chronic indecisiveness was not a trait that he took pride in.

The young girl wolfed down her food and leaned back against the wall. It would be a while before they were let loose so she decided to spend this time browsing the internet on her phone. Maybe even play a game or two, she was bored out of her mind and wanted to get outside and do something.

While eating Ratatoskr observed the room, watching everyone he could and gathering as much detail as possible. These misfits seemed more and more interesting as he continued to watch them. When he finished his meal he went to find the washroom to clean his hands since they were covered in Dorito dust.
