I went looking for a mixture of words from @thewriteflame and @autumnalwalker -- thanks, you two! <3 From The Invisible Girl:
Night:
“You can all move in, if you want,” Antonio said, grin stretching so wide it had to hurt. “Think of it—sleepovers every night!” “Don’t overdo it,” Paris said, but he was smiling too. Antonio smiled and wrung his hands together. Velia had the feeling he was doing it to remind himself not to kick the table out of the way and grab them all. He had so much feeling in him, Antonio, and Velia strongly suspected he hadn’t had anywhere to put it before.
Name:
Antonio made a waving motion with his hands. “It’s just that Wilhem is such a dreadful name, really unsuited to your whole…atmosphere of mystery, you understand. I mean, wouldn’t Rudolph be a terrible name for you? You really deserve something grand, like Leonardo, or mayhaps Horatio.” “Hmm.” Mr. Grey seemed unimpressed. “Yet Wilhem I remain.”
Fault: (that feeling when he sketches you but he can't see you lol)
Velia sat back, disgruntled. “It’s been a while, now, Paris Carlo. I don’t think your drawings are going to improve.” “Don’t be cross,” he said, looking down. “I’m not,” Velia lied. It wasn’t his fault, anyways. There wasn’t anything to be done about it.
Numb:
Velia eyed the sides of the car, and far below, the grass flashing by. Could she hang over without someone holding on to her? Probably. Then again, if the top hat man saw her and started shooting, then even a hand on her foot wasn’t going to keep her from tumbling over to her doom. Gunshot wound or crushed on the tracks? Velia mused, lying down and hissing slightly as her numb fingers first touched the chilled tin roof. The wind howled like a hoarse opera singer, and promptly blew her hair right into her face.
