Mira's idea of 'let's do something' usually involved partying, drinking, and basically breaking as many rules as she could. She hoped he was okay with that. She bounded out the door and closed it quietly behind them, so as to not wake Dima.

"Where are we going?" Colton murmured softly, his voice a lulling hum.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Nick likes to throw parties," Mira replied as they exited the building into the night. "I'm hoping there's one right now in the typical place."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"A party, huh?" Colton laughed, "Sounds like fun."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Mira glanced at him. "Have you ever even been to a party?" she asked. Being a prince, she expected him to be a prude.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Once or twice, but it's not like I can just run off to do whatever I feel like," Colton shrugged.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Yeah. Being a royal just suck," Mira said, giving him a grin. She told Dima that all the time.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Colton grinned, "That's one way to look at it, I suppose."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Mira just laughed softly as she stepped into the forest that stood on the Academy's grounds. "Just a little bit farther," she told him.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Lead the way, don't worry about me. I'm just coming along for the ride," He chuckled.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Good boy," Mira said with a grin. A few seconds later, the sounds from the party reached her ears. So, Nick was throwing one of his regular bashes.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Colton listened with rapt curiosity, his white blonde hair falling into his eyes.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Mira picked up her pace, walking with long strides toward the party. When they reached it, she sought out Nick in the crowd.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Colton followed, seeing as he didn't know anyone else but Mira. He thought it best to stick close to her.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

When Nick spotted his half sister, he broke into a broad grin. "Mira," he greeted her. "I heard you were in the hospital."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Colton looked at Nick, though he was unsure of how Mira knew him. He wasn't going to admit that out loud, though.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

The two hugged each other and then Mira turned to Colton. "This is Colton, Nick. He's... a friend."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

He smiled sheepishly and gave a little wave, "Hi."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Nick stepped up to Colton and held out a hand. "Nice to meet you, man." He flashed a smile, the one that immediately caught just about anyone up in his charm. That happened when you were a Spirit user.
