The Yule Ball

"You know it. I wouldn't miss eeing you again."

Maik said good bye and started back to her apartment, mulling over everything that had happened.

Descartes walked towards his sister room stopping when he saw Elrohir. "Um, excuse me, sir."

Elrohir jerked awake and jumped to his feet. "yes?" he straightened his robes a little and suddenly wondered if he had Sonia's lipstick on his lips.

(Was he dreaming?)
Descartes smiled and motioned towards the door.

(no. 🙂 )
Elrohir ran a hand through his hair and walked past Descartes to the door. What did he want?

ONce it was safe to talk without waking his sister, Descartes stopped. "Sorry, didn' mean to startle you. Maik, I mean your sister said to tell you that she went back to her aparment to pack for a vacation."

Elrohir just blinked in confusion. "She's what?"

"Packing for a vacation." he said taking a deep breath.

Elrohir rubbed his eyes, trying to understand. "Maik...is going..on vacation? When? Where?"

"SOon, I think as soon as the case is cleared and to this place behind our house." he says. "It quite private and no one could bug her."

Elrohir waved a hand impatiently. "The case is of no concern. Maik already cleared that up, it was a matter of special concern for her."
He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, peeking through his fingers at Descartes. " Wait, she's going to YOUR house? How did she decide that?"

Descartes blushed. "I suggested that she take a vacation and offered her a small place behind ours." he said waiting for Elrohir to hit him.

Elrohir smiled slowly, fully awake now. So Descartes had invited her to his house....
"That was nice of you."

Descartes nodded. "Thanks." he says softly. "Um, I know this is probably really forward but I have to ask you something." he was now rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

"Ask away. " Elrohir replied

"Is Maik seeing anyone?" he know it sounded so highschoolish.

(Happy Birthday! 💃 )

"No." Elrohir smiled. "She really hasn't been involved with anyone for quite a while."
He picked at a piece of lint on his robes casually. He was enjoying this immensly. "Why? You interested?

(((Thanks)))

Descartes blushed deeply. "Am I that obvious?"

"It's not such a bad thing." Elrohir assured him.
