After a moment or so Roman found himself chuckling a bit too. He recovered from his quicker than his sister however, but it was still a pretty big step from how he normally was around Perri. "I gotcha, so we got a little princess on our hands then huh?"
Karina's small blush was dead set on staying on her face. "Oh, I-I wouldn't say that." She stuttered again, deciding to go back to her food before she embarrassed herself further. She wasn't upset though, how could she be with Perri getting along with her brother?

Perri grinned widely and reached out to tap Karina's cheek softly where the blush was starting to spread. "Yep, but she manages to put up with me so she can't be too delicate." she replied, dropping her hand to the table after a moment. She started in on her food, too hungry to resist. "Oh, here," she opened her chips and shook some out onto Karina's plate as payback for earlier.

Karina smiled a little more at Perri, having gotten use to her touching her cheek. She didn't really say anything to protest against the chips, so she just replied back with a simple "Thanks."
Roman watched the small exchange between the two girls as he went to start on his own food. Karina didn't seem half bad, he could see how Perri would behave differently around her. It was a good thing, he decided, but that didn't mean his sister was out of the woods yet in his book.

Perri ate quietly, awkward with Roman staring from across the table. She knew it would take a lot more for them to be on better terms, but she was glad she'd decided to talk to him. She really missed how close they were as children, as much as she would never admit it. "So, you're gonna come Saturday right?" she asked Roman. She'd already talked to Karina a little about the dinner Saturday so it wasn't anything new to the girl.

Roman nodded as he ate. "Yeah, I'm comin'." He replied before going back to his food. That was going to be an interesting night, and suddenly a thought struck him. "Granma and Granpa gonna be there too?" He asked curiously. Their grandparents were surprisingly laid back when it came to this sort of stuff. Though that might have been due to their grandfather's days in his band when he was their age, who knew WHAT sort of stuff he came across.
Karina blinked, Perri hadn't mentioned much about her grandparents. She wasn't really surprised, just curious she supposed.

Perri shrugged. "Honestly I'm not sure. I doubt it though... actually I'd rather they not be there. Not sure on how they'd react and I really don't want to try and deal with that. Besides, I don't want to overwhelm her too much." she said nudging Karina.

Roman just shrugged in response, it was her decision so he wasn't going to bother her much about it for the time being.
"Now why wasn't I invited to the party?" A familiar voice called as Anya flopped down on the seat beside Roman, grinning as always. She slung an arm around her cousin's neck and tried messing with his hair, which he immediately responded in swatting the hand away as he tried to eat. The taller girl grinned and glanced over at Perri and Karina. "So, this your girl Cuzz?" She asked as she turned her attention to the blushing teen beside Perri.

Perri grinned as Anya plopped down beside Roman. At her question she just smiled brightly and nodded. Her hand found it's way into Karina's under the table. "Sorry Cuz, it's a private party, no crashers allowed." she teased in reply. "But yes, this is Karina." She'd forgotten she hadn't introduced Karina to her cousin yet.

Karina held Perri's hand under the table, smiling and waving her free hand at the newcomer. "Hi! Er, Anya right?" She tried, figuring Anya was the main cousin Perri mentioned around her.
Anya nodded, keeping her grin up as always. "The one and only, I respond to AJ too." Not that many people really called her that these days, but she still liked it. "So what brings this happy reunion, blue moon already?" She chuckled, referring to the fact that Perri and Roman were actually sitting with each other and NOT about to rip each other's heads off.

Perri chuckled at her cousin and rolled her eyes. "Roman was just investigating the source of my good mood." she replied, taking a sip of her drink. Good mood, general upbeatness, actually trying in things, all that was in effect of Karina.

Roman finished his food and glanced up at Perri. "I was just curious." He said honestly. Anya just laughed.
"Oh c'mon Roman, Perri's a big girl now." She turned back to look at Karina. "Gotta hand it to ya kid, she never shuts up about you. THAT itself is a miracle."
Karina blushed a little more, smiling a bit wider at that. "Really now...?" She giggled, looking over at Perri. Once again she couldn't help how happy she felt just then for the blonde to actually think about her so much.
Around that time Artemis was walking to a trash can to throw away what was left of her food. She stopped and glanced over at a near by table and grinned. Perri was over there, along with some her family(and another girl she really didn't care to know who she was). This would be the perfect time to screw around with her and share her little secret.

Perri smiled widely at Karina and rolled her eyes. "Oh please, you knew that already anyways. "Don't let it go to your head though or you'll turn out like me." she teased, squeezing Karina's hand softly.
She looked back up at her cousin and gave her a pointed look. "And you're not supposed to tell on people anything about what's shared in our room, that's the safe zone remember." she told her cousin, her lips quirking up slightly in amusement.

Anya laughed a little more. "What? You said yourself she already knew, and it's not like Roman cares. So no harm done."
Roman rolled his eyes, soon noticing a familiar figure making her way over to them. "Shit," he muttered, looking away from the brunette and back to his family. "We've got company..."
By that time Artemis had arrived at the table, placing a hand on her hip as she looked at the small group. "Well look who we have here." She said, using a smart ass smile that ALWAYS made Anya want to punch her on sight.

Perri's teeth grit as Artemis approached the table. She made herself grin as she looked up at the girl. "How wonderful for you to grace us with your presence." She said sarcastically. "Everyone, say hello to the Ice Bitch, she's just dying for everyone's adoration and attention." Perri added as she glanced around the table. Anytime Artemis was around Perri went on automatic sarcasm mode.

Karina was a bit surprised with Perri's reply to the girl. She wasn't stupid, she knew who Artemis Spiers was and how she could be, but she had never seen the two interact before.
Artemis put a hand to her chest to look as if she'd been offended. "Oh I'm hurt Perri, and here I thought we were friends~" she tilted her head a bit and pouted.
Anya sighed and ran her hand through her hair, noticing Roman's fists started to shake underneath the table. Shit, might as well get Artemis away before the guy got murderous. "Why're you here Artemis? I'm lazy and I don't feel like bashing that face of yours into a wall right now."
The Tora flashed a sly smile at Anya, putting her hand back down to her side. "I really came her for Perri honestly." She looked back at the blonde girl. "A little birdie told me about that wonderful night he'd spent with you not too long ago. I was just gonna ask how much you got paid was all." Her grin widen, waiting to see the table's reaction.
