"Children behave."
That's what they say when we're together,

The music filtered through the thin walls of the Academy mansion until every occupant was captured by the voice. Elle couldn't help but feel the nostalgia in the air.
Her body moved to the melody on it's own accord, and she began to sing.

Trying to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say
Luther pumped his arms into the air and swayed his hips while mouthing the words. His large overcoat swished around his legs.
