They lay like that for an hour before they were interrupted by a knock on the door. Helen went to answer, giving Kol a minute to calm down before he had to interact with the outside world. She opened the door to see a guy who looked a couple years younger than her, with short dark hair and a cute little awkward smile.

'Oh sorry, I didn't know Kol had company.' Helen mustered up the most genuine smile she could to reply.

'Not like that. We're just old friends. Umm… do you want to come in?'

'Thanks, are you sure?…'

'Yeh, it's fine. I was just passing through on my way to Uni and decided to stop by.'

'Oh cool, where do you go?'

'Hollins, I'm a Biology major. Swim team.' She quickly came up with one of her favourite spots to hunt around when in the area.

'Oh, cool.' An awkward silence appeared between then as Jeremy stood just inside the hall.

'I'll go get Kol for you.'

'Thanks.' She hurried out of the room and into the bedroom where Kol was still lying, though his eyes were no longer red and puffy.

'Baby Gilbert's here to see you.' He bounced off the bed, looking like normal to those who had not been with him for their whole lives. Helen however could see the glint in his eyes had dulled, not completely put out but almost gone. She followed him out as he met with Jeremy and did some sort of complicated fist bump.

'Hey Jer!' He spoke happily as he led the two of them into a games room where two Playstation consoles were wired up and ready. 'I don't know if you guys have had proper introductions?' They shook their heads in affirmation and he grinned. 'Well Helen meet Jeremy, utter lad-'

'You did not just say that. Oh my god.' Helen literally face palmed causing Jeremy to snort with laughter.

'Just because I am more awesome than you.' Kol shrugged. 'And Jeremy, this is Helen. Best lay I've ever had-' He saw Helens expression and put an arm around her, mock pouting. '-But she is more than an object, she can also throw a mean punch.'

'Kol, if you don't take your arm off me I'll remind you of how mean a punch I have.'

'Sorry, sorry!' He put his hands up in surrender and glanced to Jeremy, smirking. 'And she is also very hormonal because at the moment she is pregnant with my brothers baby.'

'Oh, well. Congratulations.' Jeremy tried his very best to not look awkward about it, though he did not succeed in the very least.

'Thanks… Well I call dibs on first round.'

'Yeh, because this girl is a strong, indepentant, psycho-woman!' She punched Kol in the stomach in response and with that merely jumped over the back of the sofa and grabbed a console, quickly joined by Jeremy with Kol sitting on the armrest beside her, running a hand through her hair as she played.
