They need to stop meeting like this. Helena awoke to Ryan's arm around her. "Ryan." She whined dragging out his name. "Hmm." He hummed into her neck. Helena flinched, sighing. "You've been doing that a lot lately." He noted letting her go. "I wonder why?"
Helena went into the bathroom getting herself ready for the day before coming out and packing. She packed clothes she'd deemed essential along with Ryan's guidance into a spacial bag which Ryan completely missed. "Come and eat." He called from downstairs after ensuring she had the essentials.
Helena placed her bag next to his on the floor next to the door. Ryan made breakfast consisting of eggs, toast, bacon and an omelette, different from the eggs. Along with some blueberry juice. "Can you asked you to put some of that juice in here?" She asked handing him a bottle while taking a seat.
"That was weird." Ryan mumbled handing her the bottle and sitting across from her. "What happened?" She asking taking her sixth or so bite. Ryan's cooking was amazing. "Nothing, nothing."
"Oh my gosh, I completely forget to tell Elena the time, do you have enough time to head to the guild first?" Helena asked panicked, unsure how she managed to forget. "Elena lives with Irina, so she'll probably just ask her." Helena let out a sigh of relief before pausing.
"But isn't she dating Andre? I thought they'd live together." She asked taking another sip. "Yeah, she was going to move in but apparently Irina said something to her and changed her mind, so she just stays over his place sometimes instead of moving out and in." He explained.
The two sat together eating as Ryan let her ramble about her life before they found her. "We should probably head out now." Helena nodded and picked up her backpack only for Ryan to try and take it but she stubbornly refused. "Everyone else is going to have their bags I want to have mine."
Ryan wanted to point out that Andre would almost certainly have Elena's bag but decided against it. After ensuring her house was closed Helena walked side by side with Ryan until they made it to the train station.
On the contrary to what Ryan assumed, Elena was in fact holding her own bag. Everyone but Irina was there but to be fair it wasn't yet 12 and the train doesn't leave until 12:10, they had about fifteen more minutes. "I'm surprised Irina isn't here yet." Helena said surprised. Irina seemed like the type of person that would be up to half an hour early.
"She'll be here right on time." Callum replied taking a seat on the wait bench. Helena looked down at her watch then looked around. "It's 11:59 and I don't see her, how will she be on time-" Helena was cut off by Irina appearing right next to her.
"Wait here while I get our seats." Irina walked over to the ticket booth and stood behind an elderly man. Only then did she notice the bag Irina brought with her, everyone else had a larger than normal bag back but Irina had placed her huge, which feels like an understatement, bag pack next to Helena's foot... the bag pack was up to her waist.
Before Helena could question anything, Irina returned. "I have our tickets let's go."
Irina he way onto the train, carrying her bag as if it weighed nothing. They selected in two booth seats next to each other, Elena, Andre and Rene sat together and Callum, Irina, Ryan and Helena sat together.
An hour into their journey Elena grabbed Helena and pulled her next to her. "I started a new book." Elena said beaming, Helena could feel the sparkles in the air. "What's it about?" She asked. Elena leaned her head on Helena's shoulder ignoring her boyfriend's glare, ranting about the book that would last until their first stop.
