*Cut for Ejo*

 “I didn’t think I needed to be subtle, you were blushing like a beetroot from just being near me.” He says walking over to sit next to her, Henri still laughing a bit.

 "I guess I was, yeah..." Arrabella laughs a bit. Xavier smiles. "Well then, should we give them some, you know, time alone?" He whispers to Henri, deliberately loud enough for Ace and Arra to hear, before getting up and walking off.

 Henri nods and follows after Xavier. Ace shakes his head “Idiots.” He mutters before smiling at her “Now you, really, thank you for helping out my arms back there. I wish I could repay you somehow.”

 "You don't need to, seriously." She smiles nervously. 

*What's the ship name? arrace? Ace-abella? Something else?*

 “Do you want to go for a walk?” He says picking her up in a princess carry, pressing her against his chest.

 *I don’t really specialize in that category my friend. I wouldn’t know if I tried.*

 "Wha-" Arra wriggles a bit. "Do you mind?"

Xavier stealthily peeks round the door. Ace can make a perception check contested with this stealth check: 10 to notice him.

*Ah. Not so stealthily then.*

 “Not at all, do you?” He says holding her tightly so she doesn’t fall, but enough for her to move, flexing just a bit.

 Henri is chilling in the Rec room when he comes back “So is it just as funny as I said?”

 "Of course." Arra walks off, first to her room. A couple of books, a large exercise guide, some weights of a large weight tree, two beanbags,  and a comfy-looking bed take up the floor space, while posters of movies and other stuff take up the wall. There's a few animes but not many.

"More." Xavier tells him what he saw.

 Ace leans against the doorframe, his head almost hitting the top “This is a nice room you got here, mine’s just exercise equipment. Whenever I want to do anything I just go to the rec room.” He doesn’t go inside because he’s still slightly sweaty.

 Henri cackles “I knew Ace was going for her. He never was the subtle type. How did you see them without him catching you?”

 "I honestly don't spend an awful lot of time here either. I'm a bit of a gym rat. But I still like spending time sitting or lying down and this is one of the best places to do so if I don't want to be disturbed." Next she moves toward Xavier's room.

"Ace was focused on sis and Arra was just trying to get her feet on the floor. It wasn't hard. I think she's giving him the Grand Tour at the moment."

*Cut for Ejo.*

 “I guess we’re made for each other if we’re both gym rats, your anomaly is pretty cool too.”

 “Of course he tried to pick her up. Do you want to mess with them on their date?” *Gtg*

Swelter has made chili noodles with bacon. There's enough for everybody and then some.

Anyone who eats gains 25 temporary hit points and an additional 10ft of movespeed. They can expend 5 temp HP to gain advantage on a DEX based save or ability check, which will also boost their speed by 10 additional feet until the end of their next turn.
