Merry-go-round

Kyle's smile grows even bigger, glad that Alice would keep the secret with him. Though he felt ready to return home, he still needed to work through some of his emotions before the world knew where he was headed next.

Now that he had had a quiet moment and the shock was beginning to wear off, now it was Kyle's turn to revert to his hyper self. Standing abruptly, he throws his arms in the air and lets out a loud whoop.


Kip laughs and gives Karla a bear hug in return. It had been nice having her around lately. She really added to this little group and for Kip... well, she was more like a special friend than these others were. She'd been his friend first, and he knew she was closer to him than the others. It did make him feel kinda good on the inside.

"You're welcome. Thank you for tagging along for the ride."

Without even thinking, he bends and gives Karla a little kiss on the lips. Retreating quickly though, he straightens, his face growing red as a sheepish grin emerges. "I... sorry." Biting his lip, he motions to the door. "I gotta... go work on that hall closet again. Um... yeah."


Grinning a little, Leo moves his foot just a couple inches to give Cassy more room. He knew she was trying awfully hard not to crowd him, and though their conversation the day before had been necessary, he wished it hadn't caused the little tension between them, always wondering if they were overstepping lines now. But it was what it was, and he couldn't change it. He bumps her foot back on purpose to let her know she was fine.

As the movie finally comes to an end, Leo can't help a big yawn, his eyes droopy and tired. It was getting late, but he was almost too exhausted to even get up. He'd slept away the afternoon today, but it hadn't seemed to help. He didn't usually feel this tired. Maybe it was just stress. Though the back of his throat did feel a little scratchy, come to think of it.

"Yay for pirates," he comments with less enthusiasm than should be with that statement. Giving a little laugh, he rolls his eyes and sits up. He moved a little too quickly though, and all of a sudden, the room was spinning.

"Whoa." He blinks and puts a hand to his head, trying to ease the dizziness, though it was quite persistent. "Guess I sat up too fast." Shaking his head, he starts to stand, but loses his balance, winding up on the couch again.

"Okay, well... I guess my head doesn't want to follow the rest of my body." Did his forehead feel warm? "Maybe I need sleep more than I thought," he muses. "Either that or your living room really has decided to go on a merry-go-round ride."
