"Sure, that sounds perfect." Descartes says smiling. He didn't know if he should offer his arm, his hand, or nothing.

Sonia smiled. Leaning forward she kissed Elrohir's cheek. "Thank you." she says before pulling back. Thats when she noticed what she had done. "OH NO!" she gasps.

Elrohir grimaced and toyed with his helmet nervously. "I've gotten you into trouble, haven't I?"

Maik smiled and took his hand. "Good."

Descartes smiled. "Great." he says letting her lead the way.

Sonia shook her head. "I fear I have gotten you in trouble." she says gently tracing her finger over the lipstick print on his cheek. She wiped her lips with her hand but found nothing.

Elrohir touched his cheeck and gulped at the lipstick on his fingers. "But you're not wearing any!"

Maik ducked her head into her fathers study and called in. "Dad? I'm going for a walk."
Artorius nodded and waved. "Where did Elrohir go?"
"To see Sonia Hubert. Bye!" Maik waved and walked off quickly, trying not to laugh.

Descartes laughed. "That means trouble for your brother?"

Sonia nodded. "I never do. It must be a spell." she says almost in tears. She didn't want to get Elrohir in any trouble.

"With any luck." Maik said with a smug grin.

"It'll wash off, don't worry." Elrohir said reasurringly. "As long as your parents don't see.."

"I don't know." Sonia says. "I hope so. I am so very sorry." She was the darkest color of red you could possibly imagine.

Descartes laughs softly. "Hopefully." he smiles. "You love torturing him, don't you?"

"That's what big sisters are for!" Maik said happily and opened the front door. "Looks like it started snowing."

"It's ok, really." Elrohir said, putting a hand on her cheek. He looked up as snowflakes began falling into his hair.

Sonia smiled. She found it quite attractive. "Thanks." she says turning her face into his palm and kissing it.

Descartes smiles. "Well, Sonia is in heaven."

"What makes you say that?" Maik asked

Elrohir ran his fingers through her hair and smiled. "Thanks for coming with me."

"She loves snow." Descartes shrugs. "So about that walk?"

Sonia smiled. "It was my pleasure." she says blushing slightly.

"Still up for it." Maik replied, stepping out into the snow.

"Mind if I walk you to the door?" Elrohir asked

"Of course not." Sonia says smiling.

Descartes nodded and followed Maik.

Elrohir slid off the motorcycle and held his hand out to Sonia, tucking his helmet under his other arm.

"Sorry about my dad, I didn't know he was going to do that." Maik apologized as they walked along.

"It's okay." Descartes says running a hand through his hair. "I should be use to it now. The interrogations, I mean."

Sonia allowed Elrohir to lead her to the front door. "Thank you again."

"From the ministry?" Maik asked, brushing snow from her nose.

Elrohir smiled. "You're welcome. Can I see you again tomorrow?"

Sonia nodded. "Of course." she says kissing him softly on the lips this time. Same effect. "Ugh, I'm going to kill whoever did this."

Descartes smiled. "Yeah, them and every parent of any friends i make and every job I try for."

Elrohir wrinkled his nose and tried to get the lipstick off with some snow. "Maybe your dad?"

Maik laughed. "Well, at least my dad won't do it again."

"True, well, not to me." Descartes says laughing softly.

"No, well, my dad may have come up with it, but he wouldn't have cast the spell. He and my mom use their wands very little" SOnia says sighing.

"So that leaves Descartes." Elrohir replied. "Or Maik."

"Nope, you're safe." Maik smiled.
