December 2025 An invitation to a royal ball was something that Camila hadn't expected, but she understood the importance of it. She had been at the Quidditch match the day that the explosion had happened, and she had learned after the fact that one of the dead was not only a Quidditch player but also a Muggle prince, Edmund Windsor. She knew that it would be respectful of her to attend for at least a little while, though she didn't really know how royal events functioned.
It made it a little bit easier that she had been home to Argentina again, because she felt far less tense than she might have otherwise. Of course, she made sure to meet with a stylist and to brush up on her etiquette around royalty—how she needed to address them and, importantly, how to curtsy in a gown while wearing heels without falling flat on her face. As intimidating as that was, it was a rare opportunity that she was getting, and she was eager to look just right for the occasion.
When Camila arrived, she was relieved to discover that there were already some other celebrities there—all of them dressed to the nines, as she was in a floor-length white dress with sleeves that hung just off of her shoulders. There were so many other people that it was easy to gravitate towards the ones she already knew once she had made the rounds of saying her hellos and introducing herself. It was different for Camila because there were so many teenagers around, too; she could tell that some of them were waiting to see if they would be allowed to approach her for an autograph or if that would break any sort of protocol. She didn't want to deny them anything, but she was being a little bit more reserved than she usually was, just because there were so many Muggle politicians and Ministry officials and the like around, too.
Camila kept her hands around the clutch in which she'd stuck her wand, feeling sort of awkward as she stood around and chatted like that. It didn't feel natural to her at all, but there really wasn't anywhere else that she could put her wand without setting her bag down somewhere. Besides, from what she had been told, it was proper to have her hands on her clutch in front of her as she was doing. She knew that she wouldn't have minded the opportunity to sit down, either, but she stayed standing to chat.

Gus loved fancy parties. He'd been raised a pureblood noble by his parents and he'd always loved parties, even if he didn't feel the pureblood ideals to make any sense. He knew better and Si was just magical and perfect, her blood and soul far purer than those of the average purist. Well, in his mind at least. He loved being the center of attention and didn't mind flaunting himself a little. He noticed that even the poor muggles realised he was famous with him seeing some fans and sharing some autographs left and right. He'd dragged Sienna along of course, but was willing to leave for her sake at any point. He sauntered over to Camila, greeting her in his usual way, arms wide, inviting her for a hug with no sense of decorum, only friendship. "Camila, you look absolutely stunning!" He said as he looked her over. "Love the dress. Wonderful piece really. Who designed it?" Yes, he was fabulous and very much not straight. There was nobody he couldn't find something attractive about, although he only had eyes for Sienna these days. It didn't stop him from complimenting Camila, as she was like a little sister to him. He looked arounf the room a moment. "So rumour has it that Emrys is going to be around, did you see him? I also hear my brother will be here so I want to avoid him." He pulled a face. He and Meric always seemed to end up arguing and he did not want this party ruined. Not with family drama at least. camila calderónSienna Aurélie Linslee

A royal ball. Most people would be excited to attend, and Emrys knew that big ticket events like this were just apart of fame. He could dress up, though he much preferred dance clubs and intimate gatherings. He didn't have to think too much about what he would wear or how his look would be styled. He had help with that. He didn't know how things were going to go, but he would find ways to make the most of it. As he was getting his hair done, to perfection, he winked at the stylist and the girl blushed. He still got it. Mostly ignoring his manager running over a compiled list of things that you should never do at a royal ball. Some things on that list were ridiculous, and others....Well everyone knew that stating them to him would simply fall on deaf ears. Emrys would be on his best behavior, but that didn't mean that he couldn't still have some fun.
Emrys had arrived perfectly on time to the place where the event was being held, but was late in entering the main area, due to a quick elicit affair in a small, off the path area. Cleaning himself up, he then entered the area. Everyone dressed well, he did notice some looking quite comfortable in their formal attire, and others no so much. While the bow tie and share penguin suite wasn't exactly what he preferred to wear, he still wore it well. He started his rounds, greeting people and partaking in light conversation. He was quickly offered a glass of Champaign. He took it with a nod and slowly sipped the light liquid. It wasn't what he would prefer to be drinking, but he had just had a little snack that should help tie him over for a time. There were some people who complimented him on his work, and he thanked them. Giving autographs when asked. Emrys even had the pleasure of meeting some muggle diplomate who seemed awed by his pail appearance and uniquely colored eyes. He gave a flirtatious wink to the younger girl in the group who seemed amazed by his appearance.
With a small sense of relief, Emrys made his way to a group of peer musicians. This would be a nice break from the all the pomp. He made his way over, stealthily staying out of Gus' sight. He did hear the other man speaking his name. With a fanged smile he walked up. "Glad to know you're still thinking of me Gus. The one person life doesn't suite you." He remarked giving his old friend a wink. Looking Camilla over his smile remained "You look amazing Camila. Wouldn't mind taking a bite myself later." Giving a suggestive look to the girl. Those who knew Emrys would be used to this. He had little filter when it came to potentially unwanted comments. Many just brushed it off, or ignored it. But it really was a compliment, in his own special sort of way.

December 2025 Auguste was, naturally, among one of the first to greet her. He was nothing if not flamboyant, but she was more than accustomed to it by that point. "Camila, you look absolutely stunning!" he complimented her after they had hugged. He added that he loved her dress, and he asked who had made it.
"It's non-magical," she admitted with a smile and a bit of a laugh. It wasn't from any of the wizarding designers, though Camila didn't mind that. "My stylist found it." It was a nice dress, she thought, although she had worried that it would look a little bit too "bridal" for the occasion. Its relatively open back wasn't completely conservative, either, but she supposed that that could be forgiven; she could see other people wearing things that were probably more scandalous than what she had on.
Rumor had it, continued Auguste, that Emrys would be there, and he asked if she had seen him. She hadn't seen him there, she thought, but that wouldn't have been saying much; the ballroom was crowded. Camila shook her head in response as Auguste added that he was also trying to keep his distance from his brother, who he said would be there, too. They could converse, she knew; there was no trouble there.
At about that moment, Emrys appeared, commenting to Auguste that he was glad that he was still thinking of him. Emrys winked at him, and Camila wasn't sure what to make of that, though she didn't really question it. She didn't have the time to question it, either, as Emrys told her that she looked amazing. "Wouldn't mind taking a bite myself later."
Camila could feel her cheeks reddening a little. That was probably one of the upsides of being a vampire, she supposed; she wouldn't have had blood flowing to her cheeks to betray her mild embarrassment, though she appreciated the compliment Emrys had given her. She nodded, wondering if the royals and diplomats would find the suggestiveness of the conversation too vulgar for polite company. "Thank you, Emrys," she told him. It was even less his scene than hers, to be fair, and she wondered how it must have been to be a vampire among so many non-magical people.
"How are you?" Camila asked both Auguste and Emrys. The ball had been nice so far, so she hoped that they were having a good time.

24 December 2025
Sienna was so out of her depth here, although in a way she absolutely loved. As a little girl, she’d had a semi-obsession with the British royals, imagining what it would be like to be a princess. That childhood fantasy hadn’t really gotten better when she’d gone to Beauxbatons and found out there were definitely members of the royal family that were also witches and wizards. Things had cooled down once she’d started working and started to focus on other elements of magical society, such as werewolves and their status in relation to other magical beings, but the fascination with the royals had never really gone away… …and now here she was at one of their balls in a nice dress with her celebrity boyfriend. She felt a lot of emotions at once all mashed together, most of all excitement in the form of butterflies in her stomach. The room was beautifully decorated, although Si had separated from Gus for a short while when she got distracted by the champagne and fancy little snacks. She also took the opportunity to speak with a few Muggles because – well, she never really found the opportunity anymore, and because she probably wouldn’t have the opportunity again for a while. But mostly because even after so many years, she still felt a little out-of-sorts talking to only wizards all the time, because it was only a matter of time before she said something to get a blank stare in return. Sienna had to be careful with what she said in a new way, not to say anything too outrageous to a Muggle, but she could also just relax. Still, Si began to miss Gus after a while, and the small smile of wonder she’d been sporting the whole time grew into a full grin when she caught sight of Camila and Gus standing together. She began to weave her way through the crowd, and finally moved within hearing distance in time to watch another person move to join them too. She recognized him, of course, although the fact that he was one of Gus’s exes wasn’t an immediate turn-off. She could still be friendly – she and Teddy were friends through Victoire, after all, and they got along just fine – but her smile froze and cracked a little at the little jab about the one-person life. Sienna moved to stand by Gus with the smile still on her face, although it wasn’t nearly as sincere now as when she walked in. “Camila, Gus, Emrys, hi!” She said, the first two names spoken with much more enthusiasm than the third. She looked over Emrys with a critical eye. “And you’re an expert on what suits Gus?” she asked in a somewhat chilly tone, avoiding the temptation to cross her arms at the less-than-ideal comment she'd accidentally overheard. camila calderón , @auguste , @emrys

Gus had been foolish enough not to anticipate that some of his friend and former flings (there was a rather big overlap there) were not the types to understand relationships. He had forgotten to account for Emrys and his flirty habits when it came to his first meeting with Sienna and he was going to regret it. Not that he realised that just yet. He was momentarily distracted by the gown that Camila had chosen to wear and grinned almost sheepishly as she mentioned it was a muggle designer. "You have to give me their name." He said, casting a meaningful glance over his shoulder towards Sienna to indicate that he very much intended to spend far too much money on buying her a fancy dress. She had loved the idea of a royal ball so much that he'd fallen in love with her all over again by nothing more than the sheer enthusiasm she'd shown in getting to go. It was brilliant. He shook his head at the comment Emrys made, smiling from ear to ear as he did so. "I'm sure there are plenty of chew toys around for you Emrys." Gus joked playfully, giving his friend a flirty wink. "While I adore the sensation of your fangs in my skin I'm afraid there's only one set of lips allowed near my neck from now on." Naturally that was Sienna. The incredibly intelligent woman that had somehow agreed to be his girlfriend. He was still surprised at times that he'd gotten that lucky, although he had no doubts about her feelings for him. The first sign should have been the chilly tone that Sienna took with Emrys. He completely missed it. He wrapped his arm around her and kissed her head, a very common greeting for him to use when they'd been apart for a shorter period of time. He looked at her lovingly, smiling happily as he looked at how beautiful she looked. "Are you have fun, mon cherie?" He asked in a soft voice. "Is it as impressive as you thought it would be?" He hoped it was everything she'd hoped for and more. As perfect as she'd wanted it to be, since he knew she liked the idea of royalty and ballgowns and whatnot. He was going to remember that for when he was going to take her to a far too fancy dinner. He'd make her feel like the princess she deserved to be seen as. Gowns and fancy dinner included. camila calderónSienna Aurélie Linslee@emrys

The gratifying feeling at seeing the blood rush to Camila's face was all he needed from her. In a way, she was a colleague. He wouldn't do anything to ruin their relationship. But if she wanted to have some fun, he was more than happy to help her out with that. Though her colored cheeks didn't burn as brightly as he would have enjoyed, the reaction was still there. She responded with a simply "Thank you," as many who were used to his comments did.
Emrys gave a toothy grin at his friends comment, it was true, there were plenty of chew toys around. He caught a glimpse of the one from earlier, still swooning in his direction. "Such a shame" Emrys faked a longing sigh. It seemed as though his friend and once lover would have to remain off the menu. Fortunately for him, there were other friends who would be arriving at some point..
Camilla quickly moved to asking how the two of them were. "Sated, for now." He gave a fanged smile. It wouldn't be long until he would seek another meal out.
Shortly after speaking, Sienna arrived near Gus. She seemed less than pleased to see Emrys there. Though Gus quickly wrapped himself around the woman. If Emrys ever got that attached to one lover, he'd simply die. “And you’re an expert on what suits Gus?” Was she really challenging him? Did she really not think that he knew intimate things about Gus? He gave a seductive smile. "I certainly know what he likes. That's quite an interesting topic, Want a list?" He an the man had been intimate, and they had shared some romantic moments. Was the woman in complete denial about her boyfriends past exploits? True, the vampire knew that Gus was "off the market" so to speak. But flirting was an instant response. It wasn't something that he filtered, even if he was capable of doing so. Someone who go so defensive over a little harmless flirt definitely didn't feel secure in their relationship.

24 December 2025 Okay, take a breath. It was hard not to get immediately defensive, if only because Sienna had been dealing with other people’s opinions about their relationship since she and Gus had gone public. When they’d been at school, there hadn’t been nearly the same level of scrutiny about every little word or touch – because Gus hadn’t become famous yet and so their relationship hadn’t been any different than anybody else’s in their year. And that was manageable, because Si had always made a point of learning all their classmates’ names and smiling whenever she passed people in the hall. And then, while they’d just been friends, Gus’s fanbase had speculated about his relationship with this or that celebrity and analyzed every song and interview for a deeper meaning. But there’d certainly been no interest in her, and staying off everyone’s radar meant she could enjoy the well-deserved attention Gus was finally getting while spending time with him off-the-clock. But, it had been six months since they’d started dating, and Si had needed to stop reading magazines, even her absolute favorite Witch Weekly – because it was impossible to get to the baking section in the back without seeing some speculation or snide commentary about Auguste Courtemanche’s Muggleborn girlfriend. She could even have lived with knowing some people disapproved of Gus choosing a girl with absolute filth for blood if she wasn’t so accessible. Because, Gus, just like Camila or any other celebrity, had a whole team around them to filter these sorts of things, not to mention making it more difficult for the bad sort of fan to get to them. But Sienna was just…normal. She didn’t have bodyguards or publicity managers or an agent. So it was common for people off the street to stop her and ask what Gus was like – and those sorts of encounters weren’t all bad – but it was just as common to run into those who (for whatever reasons they justified mentally) didn’t think she was enough for him. Sienna leaned into Gus naturally as he wrapped an arm around her and spoke to her softly. She itched to respond in French – to just have one thing stay between them – but that would mean excluding Camila, and Si knew how much the language barrier bothered the Argentinian singer on a normal basis. So she responded in English, “Even more impressive. My imagination couldn’t do those chandeliers justice.” She smiled at him and then at Camila, as she brought an arm up to rest on Gus’s shoulder and rub small circles with her hand. “Thank you, mon ange,” she responded in a lower tone. The tension returned to her shoulders when Emrys spoke again, shooting Gus a smile that could only be described as seductive. Si forced another smile on her face, one that clearly didn’t reach her eyes. “That’s so generous.” Her voice was cold enough it could freeze fire. “But maybe your list would be a little outdated? What do you think, Camila?” she asked suddenly, turning to the other girl. “You would tell me if you saw Gus sending you any signals that he’s in distress and being held captive?” camila calderón , @auguste , @emrys [Dang y’all sorry]

December 24, 2025 Being put on the spot by Sienna in the midst of her bickering with Emrys over whether or not Auguste was happy with her was more than uncomfortable, especially because it sounded as though Sienna wanted her to jump in and be the peacemaker between the three of them all of a sudden. They were all friends with her, all three of them, and Camila didn't fully understand why Auguste—as the one in the middle of all of it—couldn't have spoken up to reassure Sienna that it was okay and to tell Emrys to relax a little. No, she was the one upon whom Sienna had called for her input into the situation, in a conversation that was puzzling enough to her. She wasn't sure if Sienna had overreacted slightly or if Emrys intended to bait her, to goad her into such an angry reaction to his comments. There didn't seem to be anything that she could say to fix it without sitting them down in private somewhere and forcing them to talk it out, an impossibility for a ball with so many people around. There was that, too: So many other people were around, and Camila didn't want to lead to anyone's causing a scene. Somehow, she had to calm both Sienna and Emrys, without ample time to mull over a decent response in English. "Sienna, I—" Camila hesitated, shifting her grasp on her clutch and reaching out a hand to the other young woman as subtly as she could. She knew that she couldn't really address the larger issues—the fact that a royal ball must have been strange enough for Sienna, too, and Auguste's and Emrys's individual reputations beyond the Auguste that she knew—at that point. It wouldn't have come readily to her, because someone would have chimed in before she could get her thoughts sorted out in the right language, but it also wasn't Sienna's problem. Yes, she was angry, but Camila knew that they couldn't very easily remove themselves from the situation, either. @auguste @emrys Sienna Aurélie Linslee

It was near impossible to miss the conflict between Emrys and Sienna since it seemed to be brewing. Gus looked between the pair in slight confusion. He wasn't unfamiliar with the concept of people fighting of over a conquest but this seemed like the least likely situation for that to happen. Sienna surely knew she was his only partner? It was abundantly clear to Emrys. But why was he goading Sienna then? It didn't make sense for Emrys to want to cause trouble in his relationship, or at the very least not out of jealousy. He wasn't the one person kind of lover (which was partially why he and Gus had made such a fine pairing in the past) and while Gus knew he was good in the bedroom he didn't think he was that impressive. His arrogance was contained to other parts of his persona. So he looked between the two confused, shooting Camila a look that clearly showed he was confused and not quite happy his friends were being like this. He squeezed Sienna's shoulder gently. "Don't mind Emrys, love. He's just being playful." He was hoping to diffuse the situation a little bit. He then looked at Emrys with a slight smile. "Dear Emrys, can you please stop toying with my girlfriend? I think she'll end up with a bigger list than yours in time." He said with a playful wink, hoping far beyond hope that it would diffuse the tension completely and that they'd be able to just have a good old good time. He hoped that perhaps Camila could help to make the tension a little less because this was supposed to be a fun night for him and Sienna! He'd brought out his golden sports car, flew it all the way over here for her to feel like a princess and have a grand entrance and she looked more than a little stunning. He just wanted her to have her princess experience and not have it ruined by some needless frivolity because one of his friends made some jokes that she misread. That would be such a waste of a good ball after all. He pulled Sienna a little closer, hoping that she'd realise that he was trying to comfort her. It felt like he was navigating a deadly maze though. Flamboyant boys and girls were such a dangerous mix when they started bickering. Sienna Aurélie Linslee@emrys camila calderón

Emrys never judged people because of their life choices, especially when it came to personal and romantic ones. He honestly didn't care if Gus was in a committed relationship or not. But if she thought that she was the only one who knew what the once promiscuous man liked, she was dumber than he thought. He and Gus had had many an interesting time, and he was positive that some things they did together, Gus wasn't currently doing with this girl. But he wasn't one to judge if they did.
One thing he did know, was that Gus truly cared for the girl. This didn't mean he was going to simply play nice, that just wasn't him. He would still flirt, and tease. Gus knew this. But he also knew that Emrys would respect his distain. Flirting aside, they were friends. Sienna's voice turned chilly after he said he could provide a list. He gave a chuckle. "I feel like bondage is better left private. But if that's what your into." He gave another wicked grin, loving they way she egged him on. "He may be satisfied with one, but that doesn't change what I know." Different people liked different things, and Gus had many ex's and lovers.
It was around this time that Gus chimed in, giving a small smile to Emrys after reassuring his girl. He gave a chuckle, softening slightly. "That was never in question. Just felt like she shouldn't be ignorant of your past." Ignorance was bliss, but it was also for the weak. Emrys could tell that Gus really liked this girl, so nothing would change. Not that he actually wanted it to. Emrys wasn't one for committing. But he never judged those who chose to do so. His smile remained "Just seeing what kind of fun I could have here." This ball wasn't his idea place, but it did seem to have the potential for a grand old time.

24 December 2025 Sienna clenched her jaw in frustration. She didn’t get angry usually, if only because she preferred to avoid conflict in situations that were out of her control. Arguments of any intensity seemed like something to do with people you trusted – not with somebody who was an unknown variable where it could end in an unpredictably unsafe situation. That had been Sienna’s strategy the worse things got in Britain – keep a low profile, don’t pick fights even if meant being something of a pushover. But then, that might be the problem here, that Si had become comfortable enough with Gus and Camila to show when something bothered her. Especially when she seemed to be the only one who was bothered. Camila looked uncomfortable at the turn the conversation had taken (which Si couldn’t really blame her for, even if her answer was not what Si had hoped), and Gus had seemed to decide a casual attitude was the best way to move forward. Emrys, naturally, only smirked and laughed. His comments could seem like such a small thing, nothing worth getting fussed over, if only it wasn’t the last drop that caused the cauldron to overflow. Sienna was frustrated with the treatment she’d received the last few months, and of having to simply smile and bear it because there was nothing else she could do. “No, he’s not,” she responded curtly to Gus when he told her in a frustratingly gentle tone that Emrys was only being playful. But the next few words, bless him, were the wrong ones completely – that Si was being toyed with. “It’s not your business to decide what I should know or do. My life – no, our life – isn’t up for debate,” she snapped at Emrys, saying the words she wished she could say to everybody who had invaded her privacy and given their unwelcome views on her relationship these last few months. Si released a shaky breath and angrily pushed aside the small part inside her that wanted to cry. She could already see it was hopeless to continue – the middle of a party wasn’t the right place to release all of her frustrations, and anyway she wasn’t going to get the sympathetic ear she was looking for here. “Never mind,” Si finally said with a thick voice, “Never mind. Forget it. Enjoy the party.” Her voice broke a little on the last word and Sienna shrugged out of Gus’s grip to turn away and melt into the crowd. She was not going to cry, she told herself sternly, only take a moment to pull herself together. She had never expected to be best friends with Emrys, and really he hadn’t said anything out-of-character. Sienna was just angry at life, and tonight he had said all the wrong things in reminding her how in over her head she was. Si edged past a small knot of people and, once she was out of sight, let her face fall as she hugged her arms to herself for comfort. camila calderón , @auguste , @emrys [Si’s last post!]

Well that went... excessively bad. It was beyond clear in a few words that Si had been keeping things from him and now she'd gone and exploded in an event where she should have had fun. Gus pinched the bridge of his nose after she left, knowing exactly what kind of problem this was going to be. Fame. He grumbled slightly and shook his head at Emrys. "I'm sorry about that." He muttered. "I'm sure we're all familiar with the downsides of the public eye here so please cut her some slack." Emrys had only been playful and Gus wasn't about to attack his friend for being himself. Not when Sienna was being like that. He knew that she knew better but obviously she hadn't been upfront with him of late. He grabbed a large glass of champagne off a waiter and downed it in a matter of seconds. He held up a finger to Emrys and Camila, as if he was going to say something very important, then dropped it, threw his hands up in despair and sighed. "I'm going to get my car and see if I can find Sienna." It was a little too easy to disappear in a crowd like this. He sighed and fished his phone out of his pocket, looked at it for a moment and then turned back his friends with an expression that was nothing short of a thundercloud. "I detest muggle technology." His frustration brought his French accent out very thick, even when it normally was barely noticeable. "Can either of you help me phone my manager because I need him to start resolving this mess yesterday." He said, holding his phone out to his friends. Normally he'd ask Sienna but well.... that ship had sailed a little too far for the night. He was going to find her as soon as he could promise her he was doing what he could to care for the situation. He just needed the phone for that and he did not like it one tiny little bit. He just hoped that his friends could help, even though his eyes were constantly scanning the crowd for a glimpse of his girlfriend. This needed to be resolved, ASAP.

Emrys wasn't the type of person that everyone liked. Especially up close and personal. It took a specific person to deal with him. Most had learned that if you weren't interested, it was often times best to just ignore his lack of filter. Gus knew all too well the way Emrys worked. He really was just having fun. His aunt would tell him not to play with his food, but he just couldn't resist. Not that he intended to bite the girl. She seemed so pouty, after what her boyfriend said. You know, Emrys was starting to see the bonus of keeping this girl around. She was great fun. She had totally misunderstood Emrys, and he couldn't help but laugh. "You can live how ever you want." He said with a playful wink. That's how he lived, why should he take that away from someone else?
After a few breaths, the girl gave up. Emrys' smile nearly vanished. Now she was just a spoil sport. She ended with a simple "Enjoy the party.” and his smile returned. "I fully intend to."
The girl left the corner and Gus grumbled, then apologized. "I like her." he finally said. "She just needs to calm down and take things as they are. But she's entertaining." Emrys took a glass of Champaign and swirled it around, then sipped some of it, perusing the guests. There was someone he was expecting to see here. She was probably going to be fashionably late. As he observed the crowd, and nursed his drink, Gus mentioned technology. Looking over, he saw his good friend struggling with a phone. Emrys stepped forward, and smoothly took the phone out of his friends hand, and replaced it with half a glass of Champaign. He knew technology quite well, he had grown up with a muggle step father, so he was comfortable with the device. "Would you like to call them, or text?" He gave a flirtatiously sedative look to the man

December 24, 2025 Feeling completely powerless as Sienna broke off from the group, hurt by the conversation, Camila was torn between running after her and staying put where she was. She didn't know what she had to contribute when it came to the matter of Auguste's love life, because she wasn't going to be tricked into talking about Sienna behind her back. Auguste, at least, appeared to understand that a line had been crossed, though he quickly grabbed a glass of Champagne and drank it practically all at once. Camila tried not to cringe at the sight of it; she knew that was a bad idea for him. He was frustrated and probably didn't need to be drinking, though he asked if one of them could help him to call his manager. Emrys took Auguste's phone from him before Camila had been able to intervene, which left her standing there and chewing her lip. It wasn't a bad idea for Auguste to ensure that he could get Sienna and leave safely—as he seemed to be planning to do. She just wanted to remind them both not to do anything stupid. Maybe she should have tried to run after Sienna. @auguste @emrys Sienna Aurélie Linslee (for reference)
