Bayani & Victoria
"You'll see tonight when we go swimming," Victoria said because it was true. If they made the plans to go swimming, she'd make the effort to at least wear the bikini. Sometimes the swimming in the lake wasn't so much planned as it was just a stop on the way. Those nights she stripped to her underwear and just swam because it suddenly felt like something she wanted to do. She chuckled a little at his attempt to translate the popular internet phrase into Spanish. It didn't go quite as smoothly, but the message came across.
Bayani had yet to get the college talk from Kaden but Victoria knew it would come soon enough. Kaden was a good Head of House and often acted like that father-figure that the students there wanted and maybe even needed. Many times, Victoria found herself wanting to make him proud of her, though the college issue was one she and Kaden would need time to understand each other on. She gave him a look that was a question as to whether or not he was serious. With Bayani, there was always that question there, because she knew from how often he told her, and how she'd seen him hunt, that the violence was there. But it wasn't the only thing there.
"Are you inviting yourself on my globe-trotting adventure?" Victoria nudged him and then added, "It'd be good to have company. Romina and I get along and can talk for hours, even days, but I don't want to walk away from his school without thinking I can invite people to come with me. But you will go back to Anton Castle with the others, right? Sorin has said very clearly he intends to go back and save the others." The witch did say to many people, and quite freely, of his intentions to get the others. There were blood oaths involved and a lot of very strong promises she didn't think people would so easily walk away from.
She might say she would pity the people at Anton Castle that Sorin and the others would punish for the years they'd stolen from so many, but that would be a lie. The bible said that vengeance belonged to God, but sometimes waiting for the afterlife wasn't punishment enough.
