Alejandro and Jaspre
He smiles at her. "I will," he promises, and gives her a quick kiss goodnight.
Practice goes well that night. He and Aliona are in peak form, and he even manages a quadruple somersault during the last act. They practice for several hours, but eventually they tire and stop, going to dinner.
Absinthia and Grimm aren't there, which he hopes means that the older monster is getting some sleep. He sits with Aliona and Cecelia instead, and they eat mostly in silence. Cecelia doesn't talk much, and Aliona can't, and tonight, Alejandro doesn't feel very talkative. He pokes at his worm noodles and minced kidney meatballs, but he can't bring himself to eat.
At some point, Aliona kicks him in the shin, and he looks up at her. She mimes eating, and then slumps as if falling over. He smiles, knowing what she is saying. 'Eat or you'll pass out later.'
"Maybe later," he tells her. "I'm not very hungry tonight."
She frowns at him, but says nothing, though he can she keeps a watchful eye for the rest of the meal.
{Whew! Sorry about that love, I had to wrap a present and bake a cake. My sister is celebrating her birthday tonight.}
