Not Until We Are Lost

Isaac was currently lying low at the house he'd woken up in. Eleni had practically moved in there and had spent most of her days making sure that her brother was recovering and helping out aroudn the house.

She was also sticking close to her twin because there was a fear that she'd wake up somewhere else and he would be gone. Or vice versa. She didn't like the uncertainty of the situation they were currently in and she missed her parents like crazy, but at least she had her twin. And if she had her way, that wouldn't change.

Today, she knocked on the door, arms full of grocery bags. She wanted to make sure that he was eating well. Plus, she needed to eat too.

It was still broad daylight because she'd learned her lesson about going out at night. She didn't do that if she could help it.

It was not an easy thing to keep from touching the man she'd wanted to touch the moment she met him, even if that very thought would have made her scream at how ridiculously cliche it was. Evan Vang had irritated her when she first met him, and Niklas Wright had want so very much to hit him square in the jaw. She'd also wanted to kiss him because he was very attractive in an annoying way. There was something animal about him, which was not a slight on his lack of formal education. In fact, she found his education rather well rounded for someone who'd done it all on his own.

Yet, Niks wanted to touch him in less violent ways as they headed back to her house. Or the house she had woken up in. She wanted to hold his hand, even if that seemed a little too clingy. Plus, she knew how dangerous that could be for him, which admittedly made her want to touch him even more. The librarian was almost disgusted with herself, meaning she didn't say much as they made their way back to her place.

She let him in, staying well out of his way to make sure she didn't accidentally touch him. She even moved directly to the kitchen to start a pot of water for tea. Her brow furrowed as she thought about whether or not they had tea; she knew they didn't have anything to go in it.

"I don't think she's here." Niks spoke as she filled the kettle with water. "We should probably go look for her." She didn't want to. She wanted to get to know Evan a little better, but Sabev could be in trouble in a world that was all too new to her. There had to be a better way to handle all of this, surely.
