(RoR) Before Christmas Party

[Mark Alméida]

Mark watched the people play cards with interest, at least everyone seemd to be relaxed now which was what Mark wanted them to be. He looked over at his two sisters who seemed to be just stood there, he walked over to them and placed a hand on Alexis's shoulders. "You alright Lexi?" he asked as he returned his eyes to the people playing cards.

(The one like.. two posts before this one <_<)

Their game of cards, seemed to have turned into more of a discussion. But Shay could careless. He was surrounded by friends, and they were at a party (which Shay never really agreed to come to.) Grabbing the card Bry had given him, he placed it with it's match. "I know that feeling.." He agreed. Shay was probably as smart as his baby brother. And he had none of the skills Travis and Marten had. Shrugging the thought off, he gave a confused look as Bry said something about skipping classes, and asked Bray if that was correct. He raised a brow in suspicion. Bray would know this because..? He thought. Giving them both a look, he wondered if Bray was skipping as well.

[Polaris Stormwrath]

Placing a few cards down on the table, Polaris looked around to the three faces of the people she was playing cards with. She didn't really know how it felt to have siblings or be less talented than somebody, she had always felt that everyone was unique in atleast one way. With a faint frown and a shrug, she continued to relax against the back of her chair, not wanting to interrupt the conversation while she sat quietly in thought.

[Bradyn Reed]

Bray smirked a bit picturing Bry losing to a little puppy. "Well, besides using the best possible puppy eyes on people, what is she going to use it for? She can't really attack as a beagle, or blend into a crowd to get away." He laughed a bit. "Who says we don't want to run away?" Bray winked and scooted toward Shay some more so she couldn't reach him easily to smack him again.

"I think it's safe to say any one with siblings feels like that." He grumbled, thinking of his ever-annoying sisters. "They just get older and older but they never go away. Siblings are doomed to torture us for ever, and that includes little siblings too." Except Bray liked his little brother, Nicko, he was cool.

Bry looked at Bradyn and frowned, "You butthead, I can't believe you'd say that" she said but adding a small smile near the end of her statement. Briar shrugged, "I don't honestly know what she'd use it for, but it's freaking adorable and even I give in sometimes," she said laughing, "But I'm more of a cat person. Celia's allergic and one day I found a stray kitten and brought her home and Celia transformed and chased the poor thing away. I named her and everything," she said fanning out her cards, "But I still love Ce."

Bry sighed, "Ok, I think we should change the subject, "How's everyone liking Hogwarts so far? I love it," she said smiling at Bray.

[Alexis Alméida]

Alexis became aware that Mark was stood next to her. She sighed, like she usually did. Belle seemed to be stood next to her like a statue, she felt Marks hand on her shoulder and looked up at her older brother. "Yes," she said honestly, "Im fine." She watched the card game go on in front of her, but it was not one that interested Alexis, infact cards didnt, but it gave her something to watch anyway. "Where's your little friend?" she sneered.

[Bradyn Reed]

Bray tried to keep a straight face but he ended up laughing. "I'm sorry." Bray smirked and meowed quietly when she mentioned cats; he couldn't help but agree about cats being better. He hoped that he wouldn't bug Pol's animamgus, because he was too slow to get away from her wolf form.

Bray leaned back and laughed. "You know after five years of going here, I think I can say that I like it. Shay probably doesn't, because he's getting trolls in most of his classes. Isn't that right, bud?" he loudly just to pick on him about his grades some more. He noticed that they weren't really playing cards as much as they were talking.

Well, he and Bry were mostly talking and everyone else was pretty quiet, especially Polaris. "You alright over there, Pol?"

[shafer]

Shay couldn't really agree with her about the cats. He never had one. Nor a dog. "Lucky Bray." He snickered. He wasn't to know the luxury, or punishment, of having a pet, until he moved from his parents house. Placing his cards face down, he relaxed a little more, putting his hands behind his head.

Frowning at Bray's comment, he shoved him, rather hard. "Well in these five years, I'd say they've been pretty fine. With an exception of some arses,"-Shay glared at Bray at this point-"and some Trolls..." He smirked a little himself. They had been quite fair. Better then being home with Moping Marten, and Little Leo. And much better then being home with his father, who was constantly yelling at him for his Trolls.

Now looking fully at Pol, he frowned slightly. "Yeah, you okay?" He asked, putting a hand on her shoulder. She had been quiet. Was she feeling fine?

[Polaris Stormwrath]

Polaris remained silent before blinking a few times and snapping out of her little daydream. She looked to Bradyn before looking to Shay and gave a smile and a nod. "Oh, yeah, hah...Just got caught up in my thoughts for a moment. I apologise." Shaking her head once more, Polaris silently repremanded herself. Smooth going, way to impress them and seem like a dork.

"So, where were we? Who's turn was it?" She inquired, tilting her head while her smile grew, just noticing Shay's kind gesture.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash yawned slightly as he looked around the room, some people were dancing, some were talking, and there was a group of people playing cards at a table. "Wonder what time it is." he said.
