Asleep

Leo smiles as he's led around by Cassy, finally able to be distracted by something. He takes in all the sights and smells, feeling quite at home in these surroundings. Ambling behind her into the studio, he surveys the walls and the mirrors.

Grinning a little at the hope in Cassy's eyes, he shakes his head in amusement. "As if I could say no to that look." He chuckles and glances back to the mirrors. "I think we can handle it."

Shedding his jacket, Leo tosses it to one side and rubs his hands together. "Alright. I'm hungry for pizza so let's get this show on the road. Please tell me you have a radio though. We've gotta have music or else you'll be witness to one lethargic helper."


Bouncing to the door, Dani opens it wide, her hair being a little unruly and getting in her face today. "Hi!"

Gesturing for Dalton to come in, she shut the door behind him and follows to the living room, her stomach growling at the smell of the food. Spotting the flowers in Dalton's hand, she starts to grin, her eyes twinkling. "Aw, the people at the gas station much like you very much to give you flowers. How sweet of them."


Eli hugs his sister back, not caring a bit at showing her affection in public. He had too much respect for anybody to even think about teasing them. Hearing about the cake, he quirks an eyebrow. "I... did happen to notice it was gone, yes." He blinks a little. "You apparently had quite the appetite today."

A short ways away, a newcomer walks slowly around the cars and people, his eyes taking in everything around him. Though no one knew him, no one approached him either. His shoulders were square and the look in his eye was one that no one wanted to confront. Alec searches for the one person and car that would be familiar, scanning the crowd.

Finally spotting Ryan, he swings around to come up behind her, seeing the man she was talking to. He knew this had to be Eli... there was definitely a family resemblance, and the way they were chatting with relaxed body language gave it away. Alec puts a finger to his lips, motioning Eli to say nothing.

Approaching from behind, he stands behind Ryan and gives her a nudge to the back of the knees. "What? I came all this way just to see you standing around and talking?"


Scott manages a smile and nod. "Okay, sounds good." Eventually he gives up trying to eat anything more and takes his plate to the counter, not wanting to make it obvious how much food had been left.

Once everything was cleaned up and they'd gone to the living room, he settles down on the couch with Hope and Domino to watch the movie. Though he smiled a the funny parts and maybe chuckled once in a while, it was apparent that he wasn't getting into the comedy as much as he usually did. Half an hour into it though and anyone would realize why he'd grown quiet.

Leaned back, Scott's eyes had fallen shut and sleep had taken over.
