[IC] The Counts [for Dark Light]

[GhostWing]

Cara gasped as she felt the hands on her waist and let out a squeal as Alek picked her up and squeezed her, giggling. She turned around and pecked him on the lips, not noticing that Sabine had dropped the bags in one of her hands, reaching for something behind her back but relaxing as she realized it was just Alek. She gave him a dry look then picked the bags up, thrusting them into Alek's arms before linking an arm with Cara.

"We are," Sabine said with a smirk. "And now we have a mule to carry the bags while we hit the last two shops."

"I didn't know your cousin was so much fun Alek, you should've introduced us sooner!" Cara exclaimed with a happy grin.

Alek shuddered inside at the thought of them being friends, but smiled on the outside. "We haven't really been close for some time." He replies, hoping it fits what ever lies Sabine has fed her.
Without a fight he loads up the bags and follows the two women around for the rest of their trip. All whilst being distant in his mind contemplating and combing over the recent events and stories.
