"Good morning," surprisingly it was Saige who greeted him first. Despite the fact that she had been gone when he woke up, it showed how the rest was slow to wake up. Or were no morning people.
Immediately the girl launched into a conversation, asking questions that he couldn't answer quickly enough as his phone was still held by Joan. Parting his lips Emrys shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he had no clue either. It was a common reaction from him, as few seemed to have the patience to wait for him to write out everything. He knew it could be mistaken for apathy, but the boy had long since accepted the fact that he wasn't going to speak anytime soon. Not that he got any chance to gather his wits for it.
"Who the fuck is Ji-" as per usual Joan dropped the first f-bomb of the day, gaining the male's attention as he watched her annoyance grow.
'Exactly,' his mind went, feeling the same sort of irritation bubbling up. When the female made them out for bastards Emrys just grimaced, agreeing again silently as he took back his phone. They were very much indeed, for stopping at a random place and stepping into the motel without discussing it first. What if this would put them in financial ruin?! Sometimes the boy felt like he was the only one who really worried about their spending.
"I think I drooled on you though, oops." Patting his shoulder Emrys knew that it was a joke, just as the snoring had been. However, he couldn't help but turn his eyes towards his shoulder swiftly to make sure there really was nothing. An act of reflexes, as annoying as it was and the boy internally groaned at himself for reacting instead of playing it off coolly.
All in that while Asher had remained silent, crawling out of the car to stand with the rest. Emrys threw a look into the car to check if the cat was still there from last night. Squinting his eyes he didn't see it, making him smirk a little.
'Good riddance,' he thought, believing that the cat had already ditched them. Or so he hoped, they really couldn't afford another mouth to feed. Long he couldn't enjoy his triumph, however, as Joan started pressing in the claxon, causing the boy to nearly jump out of his skin.
"Jesus Jo! Are you trying to make us deaf or what!" Asher expressed Emrys's thought, followed by a scream from Nova who fell out of her seat. There really was never a graceful moment with Joan around and the mute shook his head in disapproval. How many other souls they must have woken up because of the ruckus they were causing. Wasn't it still early morning? Emrys could just imagine the amount of complaints there would be coming in at Jim's speaking of a rowdy group of teens on the parking lot.
To make matters worse another voice popped up behind him as well. One that was familiar, yet unexpected as the company wasn't there last night. Emrys stared at the approaching Vivi wide-eyed, Joan and Asher both joining in to greet her while bickering with each other.
'How?' he asked himself, his lips parting again to speak, but holding himself at the last second. Instead he pulled out his phone again and started to type, making haste to turn it towards the female.
'How did you find us so soon?'
A wave of paranoia swept into his mind. If Vivi managed so easily to find them, imagine what child's play it would be for the authorities once the adults would find out about their disappearances. Their adventure had barely started, yet, the doom scenarios were already there.
