Entering her room, Arya tosses her bag on the bench at the end of her bed. Letting out a sigh she kicks off her shoes, moving towards her closet. Hearing a thud her brows furrow and she turns to see a figure begin climbing through the window. Grabbing hold of a bat she stands to the side, watching as the man shakes off his jacket, letting out a grunt when she swings the bat, hitting him on his legs
Zachary: "Woah!"
Arya: "You have exactly two seconds to tell me who the hell you are or this entire room is gonna be covered in brain matter."
Zachary: "Uh, uh, Sky-Skylar! Skylar!" he calls out, making Arya's brows furrow in confusion "Skylar!"
Skylar: "Wha..." she sighs, freezing in her spot as she enters the room, Ryan behind her "I told you it's the third window."
Zachary: "Well, clearly I forgot." he grits
Arya: "Who the hell is this?"
Ryan: "Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you about this." she hums, Skylar sighing as she moves to stand beside Zachary who sits up in his spot on the floor
Skylar: "This is Zachary. My...friend."
Arya: "Does your friend not know how to use the front door?"
Skylar: "Well, if he used the front door then you'd know he was here." she shrugs, a confused look coming over Arya's face

Arya: "How long has he been sleeping here?" she exclaims, looking at the pile on blankets laying on Skylar's floor
Skylar: "Not long. And he's not staying long either. Just until he can get back on his feet" she hums, Arya turning to give her a pointed look "What? Ryan did the same for us. Same thing you guys did for Theo."
Arya: "Only difference is none of us were strangers and we let the others know when somebody new was moving in."
Skylar: "He's not moving in here though."
Arya: "Uh huh. And, uh, is your boyfriend aware of this little situation?"
Skylar: "You mean the boyfriend who moved to New York and told me through text?" she scoffs, shaking her head as Arya gives her a soft look
Arya: "This..." she hums, pointing to the blankets "Isn't gonna work" she declares, making Skylar sigh "He can stay in the spare room downstairs."
Skylar: "Really?" she hums, perking up
Arya: "Temporary. Only" she hums, giving Skylar a pointed look as she moves towards the door "Might wanna warn him about the creaky stairs. We'll be able to hear if he sneaks up here."
Skylar: "You realize I am an adult, right?"Arya: "And yet you snuck a boy in here like a horny teenager." she hums, making Skylar chuckle as she shakes her head
Skylar: "Thanks, Arya." she nods, giving her a soft smile

Standing in the kitchen at Molly's, Dawson goes to walk out, stopping in her steps when seeing Joseph sitting at the bar, typing on his phone. Eyes widening, she turns back into the kitchen, adjusting her hair and shirt for a moment before exiting the room once again
Dawson: "Hey, Joseph." she smiles, moving to lean against the bar as he looks up from his phone with a smile on his face
Joseph: "Hey, Gabby."
Dawson: "Long time seeing you in here."
Joseph: "Yeah. Been busy with work and the gym. Finally have a night to just...unwind."
Dawson: "I can see that" she hums, looking at the pair of drinks sitting in front of him "Don't unwind too much."
Joseph: "Oh, uh, that one's not for me." he hums, making a confused look come over Dawson's face
