When Vivian had told Dallas she missed everyone, she meant that in a general sense, but he must’ve heard her and thought she meant it in the literal sense. She thought this because, without so much as a warning to her in any form, Dallas dragged her along as he returned to where his friends were. And boy did she then realize that they were vastly different than how Vivian’s own group of friends were.
Oh boy..
Vivian never was used to the kind of 'be taken by surprise' that Dallas was known for (even knowing him for as long as she did)and she had known her brother’s friends to be a...rowdy bunch, but seeing how he interacted with them right off the bat as if never missing a beat from bringing her into the fold (as it were), he went on a never-ending account of his summer. She wasn’t even sure if she remembered everything because it seemed to end just as soon as it began. Before she even realized, he was gone from her personal space and went from Dana to Rhea and finally to Marcella.
How her brother could have so much energy was beyond her and Vivian was...overwhelmed, which she knew if Dallas caught onto it, he’d tell her to relax. This has always been her problem. Big crowds she loved, but the more the foreign energy she was exposed to, the more she became aware that it was all new to her. And yes, this is despite how she knew he was, but he was like this with her. Vivian rarely got to see it from the outside. It was nerve-racking, to say the least.
No matter how out of place she felt at this moment, Vivian put on a smile. As weird and offbeat her brother was, he was at peace with Jonas and the others, so it brought joy to her heart to see him go off on a machine gun tangent, talking about everything that seemed to come to his mind. It even made her let out an involuntary giggle, which she immediately embraced. "He is quite something," she mused to herself, unknowingly not keeping it literally to herself.
