[color=gray][i]The House on the Hill[/i][/color]

[b]Interactions:[/b] Jack ([@Blizz]), Linqian ([@FernStone]), Adora/Ruby ([@Shin Ghost Note])

[quote=Stormy][color=00ff98]”What you’re hearing there is Naomi Rodgers talking to [i]me.[/i] I had to step in to keep her from attacking. That was right before the Wolfpack arrived. Britney can tell you she wasn’t up to anything [i]great.”[/i][/color][/quote]

[quote=Jack][color=6644ff][i]”Thank you.[/i] Naomi is entirely innocent regarding the death of Alizeé, as I am certain the House of Card’s spy knows, since she was [i]clearly[/i] present.”[/color][/quote]

Luna pocketed her phone, keeping her mouth firmly shut. Layla was looking between the three of them, a bit at a loss for words.

Was she, in fact, wrong?

The doubt showed on Layla's porcelain face. Sure, she might have had mixed feelings regarding Stormy, and even [i]more[/i] mixed emotions regarding Jack. But that was already two against one. And she knew she couldn't float on a word all by herself.

[quote=Linqian][color=CD5C5C]”A bunch more of us would be fucking dead if it wasn't for their healer. So step the fuck back.”[/color][/quote]

Layla's jaw dropped a little, looking directly at Linqian. [color=7ABBFF][b]“You… really mean that, Jea-jie…?”[/b][/color]

She was looking like a child that got admonished by a parent, and her cheeks flushed slightly. The doubt coloring her face increased, her brows furrowing.

[quote=Jack][color=6644ff]”Layla is not Sycamore. She is associated with the Temple.”[/color][/quote]

Before her doubt got erased by rage as Jack mentally slapped her across her face. Her ears were practically ringing as she stared daggers at him.

[quote=Adora][color=fd8a6c]"Heeey! Let's go outside so we can chill out! Okay? [i][b]Okay![/b][/i][/color][/quote]

Layla flinched as she felt Adora's hands on her. She resisted, wanting to take another step towards Jack, trying to raise her hands.

[color=7ABBFF][b]“I [i]am[/i] Sycamore, you sonofabitch.”[/b][/color] She growled, baring her teeth.

Before she let the Adoras have their way, and cart her angry face outside.

[quote=Adora][color=fd8a6c]”Luna, how the[i][b] fuck [/b][/i]can you be all [i]'Not now'[/i] then be all for it?! You know [b]exactly[/b] what you are doing, you shady bitch!"[/color][/quote]

Luna stared back cooly at the Adoras, before a glimmer of a grimace crossed her features. She turned away from the four of them as they left, instead taking up her station behind the bar again. Her hands were instantly busy with glasses, making another drink for herself.

She hummed to herself, before she addressed Ruby. [color=bcbcbc][b]”Sorry about that. The girl's had it hard. I'm Luna but uh… I think you good folks already know [i]all[/i] about me.”[/b][/color]

[quote=Ruby]"The fact that she's jumping up and down for someone that clearly doesn't fuck with them is just [i]sad[/i].”[/quote]

That was the last thing Layla heard before one of the Adora's shut the door, and the four of them were outside.

Layla was gritting her teeth, teetering between rage and grief, hands clenched tight. Before her eyes squeezed shut, and she tried to hide her face from the Adoras watching, feeling the heat behind her eyes turning into unbidden, bitter and emotional tears.

[color=7ABBFF][b]"You can let go of me, I'm good.”[/b][/color] She said in a tight, wobbly voice, desperately trying to keep the tears out of her tone.
