I Don't Believe in Ghosts {Remington Leith}

"Welcome back Kristen, Patty and...friend." Emerson greeted smoothly, only faltering slightly as the three appeared in the living room.
"Hey Em. How long was that?" Kristen stood up and brushed herself off, walking over to Emerson.
"Eh, maybe twenty minutes." He shrugged, a soft surprised yelp escaping his lips as Kristen fell on him and hugged him. He looked at Patty with confused eyes as he softly returned the hug. Patty shrugged in response as Kristen stood back up.
"Did he get wake up?" Kristen asked softly as she started making her way over to the sleeping guy.

"No."
Kristen nodded and settled back in her old position of straddling his lap and hands on his chest. Remington's arms sleepily wrapped themselves around her again, and he sighed in his sleep. "Nice." She whispered, closing her eyes.
"So it's... nap time?" Rean asked, shoving his hands in his hoodie pocket.

"Looks like. Sorry, but who are you?" Emerson asked, leaning forward in his seat in interest. To Emerson, the guy was very familiar. In fact, he looked like Patty's twin, he just had brown hair, more melanin and pale blue eyes. "Rean. You're Emerson." The man in question noted. Emerson looked mildly shocked, but for his age he seemed the most mature one in the room.
"You look a lot like... Patty." Emerson said slowly.

Rean smirked. "Y'think?" He scanned Patty up and down, then looked back to Emerson with a shake of his head. "Nah I don't see it. Where's Sebastian?"
Emerson shrugged, resting his weight back into the couch cushion. "Somewhere, probably sleeping." He shrugged, pointing upstairs.
"Hmm. Well when they wake up, we need to talk." Rean said reluctantly. He looked over at Patty, who was falling asleep in his feet. It was mildly concerning how pale he looked, the whites of his eyes turning pink. "Pats, you okay?" Rean asked, stepping towards him with his hands out cautiously. Patty started to nod, but stoped and pressed his palm to his forehead. He opened his eyes wide, then squinted.
"I've been better." Patty responded.

"Pat, sit down." Kristen mumbled, patting the seat next to Remington sleepily. Patty smiles softly.
"I'm alright Beth, thanks."

"If you guys are going to continue to talk, then no one is going to sleep." Remington sighed, startling Kristen.
"Oh, I'm. I'm sorry Rem, I can shut up if you're still tired." She apologized fretfully as he opened his eyes. He smiled down at Kristen as she continued to spout apologies.
"Y'know, you're even prettier after I wake up." Remington cut her off. Kristen's mouth opened and closed, kind of like a fish. "Oh we got two smooth talkers now." She finally managed to get out. She shook her head, going to get off Remington but he just whines and held her tighter by her hips. "Aaaand now it looks like I'm stuck. Okay. Well, all were missing is Sebastian."

"Speak of the devil and he shall appear!" Sebastian declares as he rounds the corner. He has a towel around his neck, rubbing it on his wet hair. "What's up, and who's this?" He pointed to Rean, who rolled his eyes.
"This is Rean." Emerson introduced.
"Rean, the head guy Rean?" Sebastian asked Emerson. Rean's eye twitched at the obvious rebuffing.
"The one and only."  Rean hissed, getting Sebastians attention. "I've got some stuff to brief you guys on, then we can get to fixing the dimension and training."

"Then by all means." Remington opened the floor for him.
"Umm. I don't know where to start exactly." Rean took a second to get his thoughts in order, then continued. "I told Patty it wasn't a good idea, to spy on Cameron. He didn't listen, obviously, and I have to say not listening to the future seerer isn't exactly smart." Rean jabbed Patty in the ribs. "So we got separated. I don't know how, i don't know how we're still alive. I just know it was not Cameron who did this. She's not strong enough. She's just a little stronger than Sofia, but a whole lot more cunning." Rean pauses, and looks at Kristen.
