"How long do you plan to stay for?" I ask looking at Aria's suitcase.
"Until you're fully recovered." Aria huffs, changing the channel on the TV to a fashion show.
"I was watching that!" Lance complains and snatches the remote control back off of her.
"It's just football. If you want to watch people play in dirt and get injuries I'll gladly throw you in a pig pit." Aria snatches the remote off of him.
I grab the remote and hurl it into the wall since this can go for hours. I turn the TV off manually and sit on the floor.
"Don't you have things to do like..... running a company, looking after your family, fiddle with a car, learn how to manage a cafe or train with your younger siblings." I say saying the tasks that they have.
"Yes but your more important." Orion says.
"Really? More important then an Edith scolding?" I ask.
Orion hesitates.
"You can go. I don't want Edith coming here." I tell him.
Orion pouts. "Okay but if you don't feel right inform me or Saisho immediately." He says and gives me a one arm hug since I'm sitting on the floor.
"You'll be the first person I call." I reassure him.
Orion nods and walks out the house after patting Asra's head.
"Now what about you guys? What's your excuse?"
"My siblings love their foxes so much that they never shift back." Atasi is the first to answer. She sits with her legs on the back of couch while her head hangs over the side.
"Keetan and Kayden are loud and annoying. It also doesn't help Kala and Kailey are in the room next to Kian and I." Killian grabs one of my snacks from the cupboard and starts to eat it.
"My siblings are changing the temperature of my room every few seconds." Aria complains.
Lance shrugs. "I just wanted to see you and get out of the castle."
"KiKi that has expired a few days ago." I smile apologetically at Killian.
Killian face goes through many emotions. First he's confused, second he's looking terrified, third panic before finally showing anger.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" He growls rinsing his mouth out by the sink. "Why do you even have expired food?"
"I've been at a competition so naturally it went off." I reply with a duh expression. "Have you missed me?" I ask Asra as she crawls towards me.
She howls as in yes.
"I missed you too." I say in a baby voice and pat her head.
"Why do I get the feeling that she loves the wolf more than she loves us?" Atasi asks looking at Asra from upside down.
"Because everyone loves Asra more than Aria." Killian playfully says but Aria is having none of it and kicks him from the couch. "Ow." He groans his face pressed against the ground.
"It was always coming for you." Atasi, Lance and I shake our heads and sigh.
"It's my bedtime so I'm going to sleep. Goodnight darlings~" Aria says and kisses each of us on the cheek before grabbing her suitcase and strolling it into the senior girl rooms.
"I should also go to bed too since I have to go back to London tomorrow." Killian mutters and hugs us and returns to our shared room.
"Let's go." I say to Lance and Atasi while double checking everything before turning the lights off and retiring to my room.
"Goodnight." We say to each other before going into different rooms. Lance goes into the boys room while Atasi goes into the junior girls room to get away from Aria's snoring.
"Goodnight Adi." Killian mutters when I climb up my loft.
"Goodnight KiKi." I say back and go to sleep.

True to Aria's words she, Lance and Atasi stayed for a few days which was both good and bad.
Good because I got to spend time with them which I haven't for the last few months. Bad because Aria tried to get me to go shopping (I hate shopping except if it's for food) and she also played with my black hair a lot since it was different from my natural apple red.
To make matters worse Lance pissed Aria off by cutting my hair short when he saw that Ari took an interest into it. Let me just tell you the day ended with Lance being unable to move.
Atasi was alright she went out once which was with me since I wanted to order take out for dinner. She wasn't a handful like the other two but she did occasionally eat raw vegetables that made a loud crunch; carrots, celery, lettuce which was meant for the hedgehog and bunny and even a raw potato which thankfully she peeled before eating.
But as much as I wanted them to stay they were called back on the fifth day but it didn't last long though since they came back only a day after because of the Li triplets stupidity.
"I can't believe these three!" Aria complains rubbing her arms from the 'cold' (it's spring for gods sake!).
"Why did you even wear a dress when they said clearly it was a take back mission?" Killian asks her.
"Well I'm sorry unlike you who has nothing to do at every hour of the day I was shopping." Aria snaps.
"You shop way too much." Lance mumbles.
"When did they say they'd get here?" Nicholas asks.
"Who knows with those three? They might be flying to Iceland for all we know." Aria says clearly having a bone to pick with the Li triplets.
"No they'd be here. I made sure of it." I tell Nicholas.
"By threatening them?" Sage asks.
"Yes by threatening them multiple times too, Sage." I smile at him which he shakes his head wondering how we are related. "Look they said that they'd meet us here." I say and show the text on my phone.
"They better or else I'm shifting and snapping their necks when I see them next." Christopher grumbles and starts walking away with Felix beside him. Those two are grumpy because there was a meeting with one of our uncles which they missed.
I shrug my shoulders and start to follow them with the others.
