The girl nodded furiously and followed behind, striding towards where more people were gathering. It was upsetting enough what was happening on a supposedly peaceful night, and she hoped they could both make things better and not worse. There was still a smile on Marielle's face but it wasn't as insensitive as it seemed. It was the determination to help set things right, though that faltered when she heard a scream. She practically ran over with Isabella, blue eyes wide at what the king of Calaita was doing to the Snakeskin. Messing with her mind. By the time they made it over the harvun had stopped and there were more people than she had first seen. Obviously creating a bigger fuss with a bigger group wasn't the smartest idea, but it was an idea and both her and Issa were here already. "What happened?" the Maegdon asked curiously.

There was instant relief as she stood up, enough that it almost balanced out the surprise as she grabbed onto his arm. She pushed in closer against him and Bryce saw that Velonia was the cause of it. He hated to see Calla shrink away like that but he somewhat understood the dislike Vel had. He’d heard it plenty of times, how they’d ruined her family. And maybe he still didn’t like Vincent that much because of it, but Calla was somewhat an exception. Though having her cling this tightly to him, in the public eye, was making his dark cheeks flush. And this wasn’t making it easier to sort out his feelings.
Of course Bryce had planned on storming over, mostly to protect his friends. But now he couldn’t. It would easy to just rip his arm out from Calla’s grip, super strength able to pull with minimal effort. But she had wrapped her arm around his, and he didn’t want to hurt her just because she was ‘getting in the way’. Which she wasn’t, he just hated to be left out from the action. His other concern was Vel if she picked up on how close he was to Calla, admittedly he still wasn’t sure how to feel. Their flings usually went until she left for Larenta again but that was flipped on it’s head now. ”Ok, I’ll stay right here since you want me to,” Bryce responded softly, though he went quiet when Vincent spoke. Being around him was always conflicting. Calla adored him and Veronica hated him, and he still didn’t get along with the guy as well as she should.
