Caleb rest perched in a large tree, the heels of his boots keeping him in place as music blared in his ears, the soft crinkle of his hand dipping into the bag of chips likely masked by the sound of the crunching leaves and sticks under the girl's boots. He took no notice of Isa, until his bag of chips slipped from his lap and fell to the ground just before her.

Isabella had been off in her own little world whilst wandering through the forest,thinking that she had been all alone she jumped and gripped her walking stick tightly as the bag fell at her feet. She looked around for their source and spotted the boy sitting in the tree above her. "Umm hello...." she said, picking the bag of chips off of the forest floor she continued "I think these belong to you..."

Pausing his song and removing his headphones, he offered a shy laugh after the girl. He hadn't heard exactly what she said, but he knew what it was as she lifted the half-empty bag. "Heh...Sorry...Yeah, those are mine." His cheeks stained with blush as he let himself slip easily out of the tree, landing flat footed just before her. "Thanks." He smiled to her after a moment of examining her features, and shifted a step back with a nod. "My name is Caleb," he started, his hand dipping into the bag again to collect a chip before he offered it to her. "What're you doing out here?"

"I'm Isabella...." She said with a smile "And I was just taking a walk before I was nearly scared to death by a bag of potato chips...." she continued with a laugh as she reached out to take the chip from his hand and pop it into her mouth.

"Death by potatoe chips sounds good to me," he laughed, a crooked smile offered after the girl. "Well, maybe. Being crushed by a bag of chips doesn't sound fun, and being scared to death by a bag of chips sounds a little degrading, but...I could go for death by consumption of potatoe chips." He shook the bag a little before collecting another to pop in his mouth. "Aren't you afraid you'll get lost wandering around out here? Or afraid you'll run into vampires or something?" He quirked another broad grin after her, his eyes reflecting his amusement with his own words.

"I've been through these woods before... I know my way around pretty well..." She said with a nod "And what do you think the big stick is for..." she continued with a laugh "It's good for more than just balance..." she grinned before plunking down on a nearby log.

Caleb let out a laugh as he watched her, a nod before he spoke again. "I see...but you really think a big stick is going to protect you from some dark creature of the ... midday that's out for blood?" He tried hard to keep from bursting out laughing, but it only worked for a moment. "Sorry, I'm not usually this stupid. I haven't slept since I got here with my family...I think I've been cleaning the old house we had here for ... probably fourty hours straight. I'm not used to being awake so long."

"I guess maybe you're right... but I really don't think there are any blood thirsty beasts about..." She giggled and laid her large walking stick aside " Fourty hours..? I don't think anyone is used to being awake for that long..." she said raising a brow "That must be a mighty big house..."

"You never know - I might be a bloodthirsty beast~"
He let out a laugh before shaking his head, an easy shift bringing him to sit apon a large lump in the old tree's roots. "Well, truth be told I'm used to running those hours anyways...It's the...working...that I'm not used to. The house is pretty big...28 bedrooms and 25 baths, a kitchen, banquet room, livingroom, den, study...It's huge. And there were barely a dozen of us to clean it up!"
He wasn't complaining, he had fun cleaning up the house. He may have been bragging a little though in attempt to impress this pretty girl sitting with him though.

"Somehow I doubt it... since most bloodthirsty beasts feast on blood not potato chips" she said with a giggle
"I'm currently avoiding cleaning... my family are off at the club that we run trying to get it back into shape, but I ditched..." she reached into her bag for one of the pastries she'd purchased at the coffee house as she spoke, and took a bite after she finished.

Caleb's eyes fell to his bag a moment before he let out a laugh. "Well...You win, there. But I could just be a lure you know~" He blushed faintly but grinned slightly as he shrugged. "I don't mind cleaning...But it's definitely not my favorite thing to do. I probably would have ditched if I had somewhere more entertaining to be though." He let his eyes follow after Isa again before he smiled. "So your family owns a club here? That's pretty cool."

"It's definitely very interesting to say the least.." She said with a nod "Back when The Underground was more busy we used to host parties... they were great fun" she smiled, remembering the good times that were had at The Fallen Star.

"Think it'll ever get that way again?" He kept his gaze after her as he gathered another handfull of chips from his quickly emptying bag. He wasn't really one to go to any parties at any clubs, but that certainly didn't mean he wasn't hopeful that things would liven up for the others returning to the Underground.

"I'm sure it will..." She said with a smile, digging a water bottle out of her bag "I'd imagine that they'll have it up and running again in no time at all..." she continued before taking a sip from her bottle.

"How many are working on cleaning the place up?" His eyes followed after her bottle of water, and he inwardly scolded himself for forgetting anything to drink, especially now as his salty chips were causing his mouth to fall dry.
