Dakota put a hand to her heart, "Oh good, I'm glad, that means you're learning," she teased. "Maybe then next time this means I won't have to say anything about it."

"I figured inviting you would mean I'd have to put my own wallet on the line," Ambrose chuckled at his cousin's request. "But of course, I can accept those consequences."

"Hey, at least we have pretty decent co-insiding allergies and things we buy that are gluten free are also nut free and pretty much all allergen free," she replied at his dig at their snacks. "Either way, I'd keep an eye out to make sure they're not trying to off you," Dakota joked. "I would miss you, because who else would have like the best allergen free flat on the block."

"They probably didn't realise," Auden shrugged. "We have other people visit our place that don't have life threatening allergies, they can eat them instead of eating our kind of pathetic choice for snacks," he chuckled.

"Oh good, I love having in real life cheat codes," Dakota said, joining her cousin in line. "What would make it better would be if you would buy your lovely cousin, a.k.a. me, lunch."

"Would you look at that? I feel like I haven't seen this place this packed in a while," Ambrose commented, looking around at the area that was more crowded than usual. "Join me– it'll help you cut the line," he offered with a grin.

"I mean... I guess, but not everyone can write the papers," Dakota replied. "Though maybe it's worse that way, because they do get paid to be stupid. At least we don't have to listen to someone say they ate a sandwich in the papers."

"You mean you don't class the papers similarly? Have you not seen some of the stuff they call news?" Lucas pointed out easily as he scribbled something into his book. "Plenty of dumb people everywhere. Some just manage to make money off their stupidity."

"Well, I never said I had good ideas," Dakota replied, plopping down next to Iris. "Besides, being in the presence of my sparkling personality should cheer you up, or maybe talking about why you're so pissy right now. I'm all ears."

"I'd seriously consider whether you really want to speak to me right now. I don't promise you will make it out unscathed." Iris warned them as they came up beside her. She bit into the sandwich she'd bought earlier on when she'd managed to grab something. It wasn't exactly appealing but she was bone tired right now and honestly, energy was energy in whatever form it came in.

"I think some wizards are smart for not doing anything social media. Sometimes I stare at a tweet and wonder how someone can be that dumb."

"Why did this person give you these for us? It's giving, they're secretly trying to kill both of us. Are they just oblivious over allergies or something? You're better than me, because I would've just given it back, or like gave it to someone else, or maybe just throw it out."

"I'm not sure that is even a word but it leaves me curious, that's for sure." Lucas answered with a bright laugh when she claimed she was the funnest. "Just what would you have us get up to?"

"Life has been busy for everyone I think, but you're welcome. Throw me a text if you need it again at any point." Lysander didn't mind helping people, despite what his outward demeanour might have portrayed. "You say that like it's a terrible thing."

"If we do get caught you know we can just apparate out of there, right?" Lila questioned the other. "If you're that worried I can get an invisibility potion from the apothecary before we go. Really lean into the incognito of it all."

"But they're not ruining that. It's how you are perceiving it to be. And the more you respond to it, the more they are getting the outcome they wish for, do you not think?" Iris stated in a matter of fact manner. "The best way to hurt bullies it to not give them the reaction they want. "Work smarter, not harder. There will be a way to bring them down if you remain calm and take the chance to look for it."

[dakotawilkes]

"Oh yeah, trust me I know, wasn't expecting it at all, you don't have to like let me down easy or whatever like that," she replied with a light laugh. "As cool as you are, I definitely don't like you like that. I also don't make a habit of kissing taken women at all. Not my forte."

"You are great and all Kota but that is not happening," Arya replied with a laugh. Of course she knew the brunette was joking but she also wanted to make it clear that there wouldn't have been a chance anyways. "Dream on though I guess."

[dakotawilkes]

"I know," she sighed. "He is more than capable of taking care of himself, trust he has done it and took care of me at the same time for most of our lives. I just don't like when people want to ruin that with stupid comments."

"Apparently you do lose control like this but perhaps it is just a very rare occurrence." Iris corrected in good humour, resting a hand on Dakota's shoulder for a moment. "I understand your care for Auden, but he is perfectly capable of taking care of himself you know. He's far stronger than I think anyone knows. There are also much better ways to be his cheerleader."

[dakotawilkes]

"Mmm, probably," she replied with a laugh. "Oh it will be, I'm the funnest."

"I definitely am going to get into trouble spending my time around you, aren't I?" Still, perhaps that was exactly why he was finding himself drawn to her. "I figure it may be worth the trouble though."

[dakotawilkes]

"Yeah, definitely, thanks for being my sounding board. Usually I do this with Auden or Delilah, but they're doing things right now. So congratulations, you got to witness all this." She pointed to herself.

"Well you said that, not me." Lysander responded with a little smirk as he listened to her tale. "I suppose that is fair enough. Do you feel like you have a good enough grasp on what it is you have to say now to be able to do it?" He asked after a moment.

[dakotawilkes]

"I mean, it wouldn't be the first time. Though, last time I was drunk, and rewarded with kissing, and while it would be great to do the first, I don't particularly think your girlfriend would be happy with the second," she joked.

"I cook broccoli in a particular way that I just love so I actually prefer it that way to raw," Aryana admitted. "Oh god no, that's not for me," she cringed at the thought. "Of course you would. Now it feels like you're asking me to dare you to do that."
