Claire laughed and winked at Julia's sultry smile and hung her arm around the shorter girl's shoulders as they walked back.
Taken by surprise at the sudden kiss, Claire quickly found her bearings and returned it with vigor.
Coming up to breath with a sly grin, Claire nodded. "True, true." removing herself from Julia, she went to her nightstand to retrieve the liquid dropped, knowing they couldn't just drink straight from the vial and risk taking too much. Filling the vial up, she emptied the first dose in her mouth. It wasn't bad tasting, but didn't really have a particular flavor. It was warm going down.
Filling the dropper with a second dose, she held it out to Julia with a grin, "Open up."

Hearing her name being called, Sara turned. "Yeah?" she asked.
"I know that." she said, a very small hint of bitterness in her tone. She knew that all too well, but if something did happen, she knew she wasn't about to stop it.
Shrugging, she stuffed her hands in her pockets. "I'll try, but who knows how tame it will be, knowing Claire and the strengths of your potions."
With that, she turned and left. A few minutes later, setting off to head back to her room.
