Airi giggled as at Vince and Vianna's little exchange, the siblings were always entertaining to be around and especially when Airi was feeling so stressed. She clapped with politeness as Vince perfectly caught Vianna's muffin before very quickly finishing the thing off.

"I'd love that, I don't know about you but I need a little time away from the boys, no offense Vince," Airi said with a slight apologetic smile to the young man. The more she thought about Vianna's little idea, the more she liked it, even if it hadn't been for her confusion with Victor or her blatant avoidance of Robert, she would have been eager to spend time with her dearest friend.

"Could we go tomorrow? Or actually, if we go next week then I can ask Porfessor Marygold for permission to stay overnight out of the castle, we could have a slumber party!" Airi said, grinning brightly , filled with delight at the idea.


"No? Oh ye of little faith," Ned said, his shoulders slumped with mock disappointment at Victor's very curt reply. Though, he did feel just the faintest twinge of real annoyance. What was with no one taking him seriously? He wasn't always clowning around... Okay maybe he was, but they could give the guy a break.

"You seem nervous!" Ned replied reflexively, once again messing with his damned shirt cuff. It was clearly a sign, the universe was obviously plotting against him and nothing good would come of this day, and he ought to just go back to bed. "Okay, fine damn it, I'm nervous, can i be honest? I haven't liked, liked a girl this much since.... Well, since Third year," Ned said, his usual overly confident facade crumbling.
