if you're lost and alone
WHO: Jake English and the Strilondes (this sounds like a terrible band name).
TONE: Awkward, as most things with Jake tend to be.
RATING: PG?
WHEN: Backdated all the hell way back to Easter. Welp.
WHERE: The Strilonde Residence.
WHAT: Bro has demanded Jake return to the Strilonde residence with him to spend the Easter holiday with them so he's not alone at the school. Shenanigans are likely to ensue.
STATUS: Ongoing!
Jake had, without a doubt, always enjoyed people. But he'd not grown up around large numbers of them, so he wasn't horribly distraught when not surrounded. If anything, he enjoyed a healthy dose of solitude. This had continued even after his grandmother died and he had moved back in with his parents in Glasgow-- he rarely left the house, was rarely seen with anyone but Neytiri.
Hogwarts had changed that. He still got a little antsy around large groups, but now he was essentially part of a family. He'd been adopted, more or less, by the Strider/Lalonde hybrid set of sideshow oddities. And while he certainly didn't quite fit with their pale hair and strange eyes, he didn't mind so much, looking so different. He was tall and built similarly to the Strider father, dark-skinned and dark-haired, but he had just as many quirks about him as Dirk, or Dave, or even Rose.
But he'd never really had a problem with spending odd holidays alone in the school. Bro, on the other hand, seemed to take issue with the concept of him spending Easter on his own. So, here he was, abruptly apparated to the Strider-Lalonde household, Neytiri in his arms and a duffel over his shoulder.
Welp.
[Idgaf how you guys wanna tag, action brackets are fine I just prosed because I'm a proser. Idk what anybody was gonna be up to over the Easter holiday so I left it super open-ended.]
