Saturday morning sees Bella with her notebooks about magic all in her knapsack, her medallion safety-pinned by its chain to her bra just in case she trips the wrong way, waiting with Charlie for pickup for the Avalon trip.

Bella decides to just look at her serenely.

[morethanimaginary]

"... Well? Oh come on, did you at least take pity on him?"

[shesepankh]

At this Bella actually laughs.

[morethanimaginary]

"Maybe scrape him up from the puddle of shame he became with a spatula?"

She is getting the feeling that her brother managed it and the two of them will finally kiss.

[shesepankh]

"I don't have a spatula."

[morethanimaginary]

"Is that a no? Is he still a puddle? Do I need to go find him and scrape him off of the floor?"

[shesepankh]

Hee hee hee.

Maybe Darren will show up soon and put his sister out of her misery.

[castmyown]

And there he is! He sits next to Bella and gives Savannah a smug look.

[morethanimaginary]

"... Oh my god did you actually manage it?"

[castmyown]

[morethanimaginary]

"Eeeee!"

[shesepankh]

"It took a little prodding."

[castmyown]

"Sorry, Bella," he laughs. "I am pretty terrible at this in general."

[shesepankh]

"I may need to revise my estimation of how intimidating I am."

[castmyown]

"I have no experience at this! At all!"

[shesepankh]

"I don't either, so there's only so far this fact will take you."

[morethanimaginary]

"Yes, but he is Darren and therefore easily embarrassed."

[shesepankh]

"I've noticed." She pats his arm.

[castmyown]

He smiles at her. "It's part of my charm?"

[shesepankh]

"I do find it strangely endearing, but who knows, that might wear off after six months or something."

[castmyown]

Darren snorts. "Hopefully not, that would make tutoring you awkward."

[shesepankh]

"Maybe in six months fewer things will prompt embarrassment. It can be your project of personal growth."

[castmyown]

"Yay, self improvement!"

[shesepankh]

"Yaaaay! I don't know if you could borrow my technique to useful effect, though."

[castmyown]

"Probably not. It's okay, I'll figure it out. Probably."
