"It's fine. Thank you." Scorpius smiled sitting down on the bed. He watched as Artemis made himself at home but was sure the owl would leave in the matter of minutes. After all night time was their time. "I'll be out of your hair by dawn." He told her and set the alarm for 6am. He didn't want to cause the girl any more grief so six hours of sleep would have to do. His eye lids grew heavy but he rubbed them and smiled at Lilli. Sure enough in the morning he'd be a mess and could only imagine what his eyes looked like.
(( I was inspired for Kat....))
Kat let out a shaky breath before looking at herself in the mirror. She could see Toby behind her passed out from firewiskey and realized the minute she stepped in things hadn't changed. Carefully she touched the fresh bruise across her face and managed a smile knowing that James was safe. He could harm her all he'd like but she drew the line at friends and family. She didn't plan on meeting James anytime soon though especially with a mark like this; it'd take a few weeks to heal. The smell of firewiskey was too strong in the house so she quietly left trying to awaken the sleeping giant. Outside it was freezing but the fresh air was delightful as she made her way to the bench across the park. She'd have to clean up the mess inside from the 'welcome-back party' but right now she was exhausted and needed some sleep.
