"I'm glad you like it." Matt breathed and sat in an arm chair to eat his own stew. He took a sip of his tea and dove in. It had grown a bit cold, but really it was just tomato juice and chopped begetables, like Gespacho, so he was used to it.

"I have no idea how you survive without meat Matt. How does anything taste right without it?" Shojoro asked warrily.

"Mushrooms." Matt muttered between mouthfuls. He looked to Celia with fixed eyes and looked down into his broth, having no idea what to say. If the silaence were to be broken, it would have to be by her or Shojoro.

Celia was silent for awhile, but caught Matt's look, and started to try to think of something to say. "Tell me about Japan." She then asked, hoping it wasn't a bad thing to ask about. She knew they had come from Japan, and was honestly curious about the other country. She never was able to pay attention in history, so she didn't know a whole lot, just a little bit.

Shojoro and Matt looked at eachother and couldn't help but laugh. "Well," Matt began. "Compared to school in Japan, American school was like a vacation. The wwird part is, they can't do all the things they could in Japan. They can do even less now that we're out of school."

"Yeah," agreed Shojoro. "They can't even use red ink on your tests anymore. If you fail in Japan, not only does your family know, but the entire number of people who read the papers."

Celia actually didn't like the sound of that. "Ouch...I'm kind of glad I'm not in Japan. Then again, if the circumstances were different..." Maybe she wouldn't be failing. She didn't feel like adding that part, though, not wanting to make Matt any more critical of her. "But anyway, how do you two like America?" Another standard question, about all she could think of at the moment.

"Well," Shojoro began this time. "It's much easier to get away with things here. Although the court system is... really confusing."

Matt laughed, finding it ironic that all of this would come from Shojoro and not himself. "I alsways thought it was easier to do things in Japan, but maybe that's a language barriior or something." He took another sip of tea and looked at Celia again, not so much critically as quizically.

Celia grinned faintly with a nod, sipping at her water some. "Well...I can't say I know much about any of that. I've been in the same place my entire life, and I never really learned about much outside of that place." She shrugged a little. She had never done much in the courts or anything, either, so that was another thing she didn't know about. It was still nice to hear Shojoro and Matt talk, though.

"So what are your plans for collage?" Matt asked emphatically and Shojoro gave him a seemingly sharp look. He really didn't want to talk about school with Celia around, especially her school.

Celia blinked, looking down a bit. She didn't like to think of school. "I...I don't really have any plans." She left it at that for a moment, not really wanting to say more. She didn't want to admit to Matt that she was failing, for some reason. She had said it to Shojoro, why not Matt? She supposed it must be because she didn't want Mattsuyo looking down on her. "I just haven't thought about it too much yet."

Matts eyes had an odd glisten to them that Shojoro didn't notice. It was a sort of 'I knew it!' victorious glimmer. "Well," he said politely, with a certain air of sweetness. "Have you considered what you want to do when you get older?"

Shojoro was in a sort of Lala Land as he sat, half dozing and eating his stew. The first thing that came to mind was how great it was that his two closest friends were getting along.

Celia couldn't help but get the feeling that Matt was enjoying finding out that she had no plans for the future. But she pushed it aside, just shaking her head a little. "N-No...I haven't considered it. I don't really know what kind of job I'd even be good at, or what I would enjoy..." The only thing that even seemed remotely appealing in her mind was being a song-writer. But could she really succeed in that? She didn't know.

Shojoro lulled back into the conversation, one could tell that he'd vaguely been paying attention. "Did you still want to sing?" He couldn't exactly understand what had triggered him to ask such a strange question, but it seemed to please Matt greatly.

"What is it that you like to sing Celia-san?" He lost a bit of his resentment for her at seeing she wasn't overly confident. His parents had wanted to ignore his dreams of being a writer, perhaps Celia's parents were the same with her singing. He couldn't help feeling that twinge of jealousy at hearing that Shojoro wanted to hear her sing thought.

Celia blushed a little, not looking at either of them. "Well...I-I really just sing what I'm in the mood for, I guess. Mostly softer songs...ones that I make up." She shrugged, but didn't offer to sing one right now. Honestly, she was just embarrassed, though if they insisted she would probably give in to singing them something.

"So," Matt suggeted. "a song writer then?" He really didn't know much about music, but writing was always going to be his passion. A twinge ran through him again, not so much of jealousy this time, but empathy.

"You don't have to sing if you don't want Celia." Shojo assured her in a tired mutter. "No one's going to make you."

Celia nodded a bit, relieved. "Okay. Well...maybe I'll think about being a song writer. But right now I really just want to...I don't know, settle down and such. Find a new place to stay and get away from everything I've known." Considering everything she'd known hadn't been very good, so she wanted nothing to do with any of that anymore.

Shojoro leaned back against the top of the couch again, sleepily grinning. It sounded nice, to just stay here and keep away from everything for a while.

Matt shook his head; it did sound nice. He probably wouldn't mind Celia around for a while, but his true joy was to see Shojoro sleeping peacefully for once. He leaned in to Celia and whispered, "Should we just leave him out here?"

"I can hear you Mattsuyo." Shojoro said in a sort of "mock-sneaky" whisper.

(OOC; I think this has almost become a two person rp in it'self.)

((OOC: Yeah, I think it has.))

Celia grinned a little at what Matt said, then just lightly chuckling. "I don't know. We'll have to see what he wants to do." She shrugged, then looked over at Shojoro. "Seriously, though...you need to try and get some sleep, Shojo. Okay?" It had just become almost a habit for her now, calling him Shojo. It gave her a sense of knowing him, of having someone she was close to.

"Who cares what he wants." Matt mused as he gripped Shojoro by the arm and flung it around his shoulder. "It's what he needs that's important." Shojoro squirmed to try and get away, but in his tired state he wasn't much of a match for Matt, who's been fully rested. "If you let him do what he wants all the time, he'd probably kill himself."

Shojoro groaned just gave into Matt's demands. It was just easier that way. He had to have one final protest before he completley checked out though. "I'm fine, really. And if I let you run my life for me I'd never have any social interaction... or fun."

Celia just grinned faintly as she listened to them both. To the last thing that Shojoro said, she grinned a little more. "Just listen to him this time, Shojo. You need rest." She hoped he listen, still really worried about him. He still seemed so tired, and she wanted him to get better.

Matt helped Shojoro to the last room of four in the hall. His was the closest to the bathroom and then he'd have to find a place for Celia. It felt strange helping Shojoro to bed so early, and before he'd had anything to drink. The fortunate thing was, Shojoro was already in his pajamas no matter how covered in sweat or faint traces of blood they were.

Shojoro had been in sandles the whole time they'd been running, so his feet were a bit cut up from the straps and overal refuse laying around allies. Matt insisted that he put on something clean and helped him slightly into it. But Shojoro wouldn't let him do much, swearing that he needed no help at all but swaying from fatigue.

When he did finally lay down in the warm comfertable bed, it didn't take him more than a minute to fall asleep. Matt smiled warmly as he looked down whith his hand still on Shojoro's shoulder. He had to resist the earge to crawl in next to him, but he knew better. Shojoro would be more than slightly appauled to see him curled there when he woke up, and what of poor Celia? He turned and gently shut the door and crept back into the living room where she sat.

Celia didn't follow when Shojoro was helped out of the room by Matt, just sitting there and finishing off any food and such that she hadn't yet finished. When Matt came back, she felt a little awkward since Shojoro wasn't there, but just grinned a little at him. "I hope Shojo get's some good sleep. It's really nice of you to let us stay, I appretiate it...and I'm sure Shojo does too."
