Arthur

Arthur hadn't been upset that Muzai had forgotten about their meeting. He knew for a fact that she had forgotten more important things than that, and it wasn't as though she forgot these things on purpose anyway. He couldn't help but chuckle at David receiving another knee to the groin for his comments on the matter, and echoed his own words. "Oi, David, dont you know? Your not suposed to make a woman upset, ever."

"i say we ditch him after lunch but we cant lead him to DWMA or who knows what'll happen to his pervy mind with all those female students and staff"

"Honestly," Arthur replied, "I'd be more worried about what would happen to him when he tries hitting on them." He thought the waiter's plan of escape seemed fairly good, except for one minor detail. "Wouldn't it look rather odd for us both to leave for the bathroom at the same time?" Before there was a chance to further pursue this, Arthur's cellphone rang. This was quite surprising, considering that he used the device so little that he'd actually almost forgot that he owned it. Still, if someone was calling him, it was bound to be important. Excusing himself, the meister stepped outside the restaurant to take the call, passing a fox-eared girl with a matching tail as he went around the corner.

"Hello?" he asked, answering the cal.

"Arthur, Cassandra sensed something. We need everyone home now to discuss this." That said, the person on the other end, who Arthur identified as his father, hung up. Stepping into the restaurant's doorway, around which were several unconscious individuals, whom Arthur ignored for the moment, he waved at Muzai to get her attention. "Muzai, we've got to go. It's important." That was all he said until they were a good distance away, after which he began to explain. "I just received a call from my family. My sister sensed something, and they're calling us all home to talk about it. While this is a family matter, partners are always welcome, so there will be no problem with you accompanying me."

Technically, the Archer estate was closer to a mansion than a house. Sitting on the outskirts of the city, it was close enough to walk to, though it was admirably something of a long walk, particularly with the hurry they were in. Leaning back against the gate, was a short, rather androgynous person, who looked a great deal like Arthur. The person was dressed in smart, business-like attire, and had on a dark blue hat that, from the current angle, obscure the upper portion of their face. All the same, they seemed to notice when the two got close, and stepped forward to greet them. "Good to see you Arthur. You took a few minutes longer than I estimated, so I take it you didn't come straight from the academy." This was not a question, but an observation. Turning to Muzai, they added "My apologies, I don't believe we've met. I am Amelia Annalise Alice Archer. I assume you're my brother's weapon partner?" Rather ironically, the girl's voice and appearance was slightly more masculine than Arthur's, though this wasn't saying much. Frankly, both of them seemed fairly gender-neutral.
