Violet gulped as she stepped out of the car, she doubted she'd locked the door. As they neared the door she turned back to Richard.
"Just...wait here a second ok?" she asked, then slipped inside the house. There was silence for a moment then a loud yell of surprise and the sound of smashing plate. A few moments later Violets head appeared back around the door.
"Its all clear, come on in," she said smiling. Her dad never really got angry at her, but the small man could get very jumpy. As she spoke the man himself popped his head around the door too. He was shorter then his daughter and quite large, as he opened the door wider he gave Richard a genuine, if anxious smile.
"Hello again Richard...Violet imforms me your going to stay with us tonight?"

"Um...yes sir. Violet...informed that it would be alright...?" He glanced over at Violet nervously, hoping he wasn't saying anything that was out of line. "Excuse me, but would you mind me asking what that smashing sound was?" Richard felt like he was standing in a firing range facing automatic rifles.

The man nodded and waved a hand airly, something Violet had obviously got from him.
"Oh yes yes its all fine, and please call me Paul," he replied with a smile. As he mentioned the sound he flushed red and looked at Violet appealingly. Stiffling laughter she explained,
"I snuck up on him when he was doing the dishes, he was so suprised he dropped the pile of plates he was holding," still giggling a little she pulled him inside the house.

"Oh!" Richard coughed to hide his laughter. So that's all it was...I was worried there for a second...He went up the steps into the house, closing the door behind him. It was then Richard remembered he had been wearing Violet's father's shirt, while his wet clothes were...where were they? he asked himself as he looked around the living room. "Unh...I hope you don't mind that I borrowed one of your shirts," he said, pointing at it obviously. "We got caught in the rain earlier...I mean, Violet, Satoshi and I..."
I should shut up...

Violets father nodded as Richard spoke.
"Don't worry about it, i was driving in that storm, hellish wasn't it?" he said good naturedly.
"You can have the guest room if you'd like, well, i say room i mean cupboard," he explained running a hand through his thinning dark hair, another habit Violet picked up. Coughing tactfully Violet stepped in,
"We are just going to finish watching our movie, is that alright Dad?" she asked. Nodding the man winked then waved.
"Don't stay up too late alright, goodnight!" he called cheerfully then headed up the stairs to his own room. Rolling her eyes Violet turned to Richard,
"Sorry, he's a bit weird in company," she apologised.

ChibiMizzy ((it doesn't really help being unresponsive when we were in the cafe...but I'll try)) Rosalee continued walking, her house being in the direction that caused her to pass the cafe they were just in earlier. She wasn't sure if Jesper had locked it, but theft rarely ever happened here. It was then she spotted the familiar spikey blond hair that had always reminded her of a baby chick. She tapped on the glass to get Dominic's attention, waving and smiling.((I wasn't responding cuz I was grounded. But I'm back now.)) Dominic was staring out into space when he heard tapping near his head. He snapped back to reality to see one of his closest friends from high school. Rosalee...He thought. He waved at her to tell her to come on in. He walked over to the door to let her in.When she came in he hugged her. He literally picked her up off the floor and started to swing her around because of his happiness. He set her down and cleared his throat. He sat back down to play it off. He wasn't used to showing so much emotion. "How've you been?" He asked as she sat down.

"Oh, he's not all that weird. You're a lot like him, actually," he teased, stepping away from her in case she was going to hit him. Richard looked over at the pizza boxes and sighed. "S'too bad the food's all cold now. Maybe we can salvage it for breakfast tomorrow." He gathered then up and headed for the kitchen to put them in the fridge. "Hmm...should we eat Satoshi's or save it for him?" he asked as he closed the fridge door and returned to the living room. He threw himself over the back of the couch, landing perfectly on the seat, ready for the movie to start again.

"GYAH!" Rosalee screamed, not expecting to be picked up like this. Dominic had been a friend of hers, but she didn't remember being THIS close with him. He swing caused her guitar case to fall to the ground with an unmelancholic 'twang' echoing from the inside.
When he finally put her down, she took a seat across from him, fixing her guitar case upright to lean against the table. Rosalee shrugged. "I've been better," she said with a smile, wondering if he knew what had happened to her since she left...or what had just happened with Jesper. "What brings ye back to this place?"

Laughing Violet poked him as he sat back on the sofa. As she followed him to the kitchen she turned on the lights for the scary movie. Grabbing fizzy drinks and general junk food on a tray from the kitchen she sat down next to him.
"Well, we'll keep it in the fridge, and he can come round and collect it if he really wants it. Oh, and Dad will kill you if he sees you do acrobatics on the couch" she replied with a wink, obviously not being serious. Making sure she had a cushion at the ready for the scary parts she put the television back on. Thankfully it started where they had left off.

Richard watched the movie in silence, but his mind was still fixated on Jesper's actions and how it was affecting Violet. She seemed to be smiling now, but he was sure she was still upset by it, somewhat. But it was not his place to tell her how to feel. He rubbed at his forehead, knowing that a headache was coming as a result of his thinking. He would have to think about something else for the time being.
"Is it...cold in here?" Richard whispered to her, rubbing at his lower arms a bit. The living room had felt fine before...

Violet looked up at him, a puzzled look on her face. After a moment she replied slowly,
"Maybe a little...I'll go turn the heating up a little more," Standing she quickly adjusted the dial on wall before returning to her seat. She sat closer to Richard, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Better?" she asked softly, gazing up at him with a friendly smile on her face. She couldn't imagine just hanging out with any of the others like this, it was just Richard.

"Yeah...thanks..." Richard replied, letting her rest on him. He still had goosebumps on his arm, though. Maybe the heat would soon set in. At Violet's body heat was helping a bit.
Watching the movie he could tell a really scary part was coming up. Grinning to himself, he grabbed Violet's hands so that she couldn't hide her face when it happened.

Violet started to say something as he took her hands, then realised what was about to happen in the movie.
"Oh Angel..don't please..." she started then jumped in fright and hid her head in his shoulder as the next teenager was killed. It was a few minutes later when Violets mufffled voice was heard again,
"Is it gone?" she asked, a hint of worry still remaining in her voice.

"Yes, yes. It's gone." Richard released her hands, chuckling to himself. It took all he had not to laugh out loud, but thought it would offend her. "It's almost over now, so I'm guessing they're going to find some miraculous way to kill the guy. Unless you're going to miss seeing that too, Ms. Scaredy-Pants." Richard started chuckling again.

Sticking out her tounge at him she poked him in the arm.
"i'm not a scaredy-pants!" she cried indignantly, folding her arms infront of her in a childish way.
"Remember when we little, i climbed that huge tree in the school grounds," she told him, deciding to leave out the part where she got stuck and had to be rescued by the P.E teacher.
