As if to thoroughly refute such a claim, Evelyn snorted. "I just happened to get invited to two important balls. Honestly, I went to the first to draw some attention away from the Blackwood-Hardts, and I was invited to the second to give Eros a fun night of distraction, and that second one didn't even happen because he slipped away." She turned smokey eyes to her boyfriend. "Don't expect to see me in a ball gown talking politics any time soon."

Cat's grin only widened, and he turned from a partially transfigured dresser-wardrobe to wrap his arms around her. "I couldn't care less about that crap," he said. "Don't make me wear dress robes and we're fine." The more she talked about this Eros guy, the more it sounded like he was sprung on Mano. He chuckled. "I don't even know these people and we're talking about their love lives."

"Well, if we're going to have her in here with us, then I'd say their love lives are probably somewhat relevant," Evelyn said, slipping her hands over his chest. "And I'm sure that if I did try to force you into dress robes you'd just find a way to add rips and leather to them."

"They'd be shredded before you could get my arm through a hole," Cat said. He lapped lightly at Evelyn's ear, and his hands roamed just for the hell of it. "My brother's got a thing for Lani. We're gonna see so much of him..." Maybe he could get Castiel to take Lani out and make everyone happy.

Lani loved the house. It was small, but that intrigued her more than it turned her away. There were books and comfortable seating, and she stepped up to the large windows against one wall. "I always loved walls like this, with the windows...I can't believe he has this." She'd chosen to ignore the fact that Evelyn had been both Mano's guest and Eros' date, at least for now. She didn't want the adrenaline to leave.

"Yeah, it's nice," Castiel agreed. "He got a good deal because he moved in when the school was still new, and he's friends with like everyone. I don't know how much money he makes working at the school, but he doesn't seem like he has any problems. Mom doesn't give him money anymore, I don't think." It had to be boring hearing about his brother's finances, though.
"The back yards of all the houses are connected so sometimes during the day prople will just be walking around visiting. I can't wait until I get to go." He'd been perfectly fine at Hogwarts until tonight. Something about Lani almost being in reach made him impatient.

"I can't imagine," Lani said, eyes bright as she looked out over the yard. "I only ever see visitors when they come to see me. You saw where I live, it's fairly isolated. No one just comes through the garden." She smiled and looked over at Castiel. "Most of the time, at least. Sometimes a nearly-stranger decides to show up at night."

Castiel arched his brows. "Every lady should have a gentleman seek her favor from beneath a balcony," he declared. Maybe it hadn't quite worked out that way, but the basic idea was the same. Castiel joined Lani at the window and looked out into the night. "I'll come Ă gain tomorrow, if you like, and show you around Valfirid," he offered. "And maybe even Owlton, the Muggle town."

Lani glanced aside, then took Castiel's hand, glad for the companionship and what he'd done for her tonight. "I think I might like that," she said. As long as Mano's shop isn't on the itinerary. "I've never been anywhere on my own before." It was a shame. She was old enough to look after herself, wasn't she?

Castiel looked aside at the soft touch of Lani's hand, and if he blushed a little, he didn't admit it to himself. He curled his fingers around her hand and told himself not to kiss her. He didn't want her to think he'd done all this just so she'd kiss him again. Whether or not he'd had that thought was a moot point. He was a guy. When didn't he have those thoughts?

Lani pressed light fingers against a window frame, trailing the well-cared-for tips along the material as she looked out at shapes she could barely make out. "Does this count as an adventure?" she asked, unaware of Castiel's inner thoughts. "It isn't discovering some new land like in books and tales, but for me...I suppose it kind of is."

Castiel nodded. "It's definitely an adventure," he said. "You'll see all kinds of different people, and learn about other cultures. It's not ruins, but it's an exciting place." He tried to think of something else that might interest her. "One of the professors is a centaur," he tried, "and the Healer is part veela. I heard there's a vampire and some werewolves around, too." That was a lot of different beings in the same area, no matter how you looked at it.

At that information, Lani looked over at Castiel. "Really? I've read that all of those can be dangerous, but newer books claim otherwise. It's difficult to know what to believe," she said, but after a brief pause and a little thought, she continued. "But if they're in the school, they can't be dangerous, can they?"

Castiel shook his head. "I actually met the Healer, and Caspian said that his friend lives with the vampire. If he went around biting people, someone would say something, especially with a Muggle town so close." Lani hadn't turned up her nose the last time he'd mentioned Muggles, so he figured they were a safe subject.

Though Lani saw muggles as different, she'd never thought of them as something dirty or wrong. Her brother tended to take an interest in anyone who could be called interesting, and her parents weren't part of the supremist, purist group. She nodded at his words. They made sense. "What is the veela like? I've heard stories, but never seen one. They're supposed to be beautiful."
