La Maison des Joyuax

Seethra

Realizing the boy across from her was having a hard time finding a response, Seethra decided to move on. She noticed a conversation down the table a little. The teddy girl was talking about her crush on Charlie and the raven haired girl and another boy were talking about it with her. She also heard the man named Garnet interject. He seemed strange. He was the man that had already known their names before. Why was that?

“Nice to meet you Garnet. I am Seethra, the blood stone…. But you already knew that now didn’t you?” she asked in a testing tone. How did he know all of them, he yelled out all their names and recognized them. Seethra did not like not knowing things, she always seemed to know things and have the upper hand but about him she knew nothing. The others could easily be figured out by talking to their dead but of him, she could find no dead. The spirits seemed scrambled and disoriented when it came to this Garnet fellow.

She then looked over at the girls and boy discussing Charlie. “Garnet here says he is good when you get to know him… but I’m not so sure. I was in my bed room when he came in yelling about how he wanted it because it was the best one.. He called me some nasty names for no reason…” Seethra said to them, tears brewing in her eyes.

“Oh little Charlie” she reflected within her mind. “Was he really so different when you were alive?” She thought to herself, which was enough to silently communicate with Charlie’s attached spirit. She watched as the spirit only she could perceive moan back to her in a language different from that which the living spoke.

“Garnet here says he is good when you get to know him… but I’m not so sure. I was in my bed room when he came in yelling about how he wanted it because it was the best one.. He called me some nasty names for no reason…” A red-head came in and interrupted.

"Huh?" Devan turned to the girl. He soone realized she had said and chuckled. "Well, that's the average bastard for you, isn't it?" Devan joked. Then, he saw that the girl started to cry. However, Devan wasn't born yesterday. He was born when light first came to the universe. "You know, I can tell that you are crying crocodile tears." He rolled his eyes in annoyance. "However, I still want to say one thing, and that's that Charlie is a damn Louis XIV. He has the indecency to prioritize himself as well as searching for a palace like Versailles."

Garnet

“Nice to meet you Garnet. I am Seethra, the blood stone…. But you already knew that now didn’t you?”

"Indeed I did, BQ." Garnet said, while pouring his fifth cup of tea. By this time the table was nearly out of sugar, due in no small part to Garnet. Realizing this he said, If we do happen to run out of anything I can go over to the store and get more." 'As soon as I figure out where the store is, and where we are,' was the part that he didn't add. Turning back to Seethra he continued, "But yes, I remember you all. Well, remember may not be the right word to explain it, but it's the closest thing that I can think of. Anyway, are you talking to the ghost things again?

He knew that speak to the ghosts, though he was fairly certain that she usually called them something else. He couldn't recall any conversations he had/would have/ was having with her about them, but that didn't mean that they never did. It was possible, considering how much more limited his mind was now, that he simply didn't have access to those conversations.

To Devan, Garnet added, "I think he's more like Nero, when Nero is portrayed in a more positive light, than Louis."

April was basically ignoring everyone, eating her food swiftly. "Welp. Bye, guys! I'm going to go to sleep, come and find me if its important, but untill the sun is up, I don't get up. Though I might wake you all at the crack of dawn" she smiled and walked into a door near her, into the kitchen. She set her dish in the sink and skipped out, walking down the coridors untill she got to her room. She immidiately pushed the suitcase off the bed, and heard the contents roll onto the floor. She could tidy in the morning. She was no night owl, that was for sure. She leaned down and took some pajamas off the floor and changed, before flopping down on the lavish bed, closing her eyes and rolling the sheets around her.

Seethra

Sucking her glossy eyes back to normal, Seethra took a bloody bite of her meat. She did not often eat, as she was fairly certain she did not really need to, but when she did she enjoyed bloody meat. Much else really wasn’t that appetizing. This was one of many reasons she wasn’t sure if she was truly human or not. But, were any of them? They were all birthstones, whatever they were, they were it together.

Then Garnet responded, with the oddest, most horrifying answer. How. How did he know she spoke to the dead? She did not disclose that information, it was far too valuable. Then he said he remembered them. “Remember us… I have never met you..” Seethra said in confusion. She knew for a fact she had never met this man. Then again, they were all birthstones with powers. Either he was a shape shifter and met her in a different form, or a time traveler. The time traveler option would explain the spirit’s strangeness about him. Seethra frowned at him for a moment as she thought.

“If I knew him well enough to tell him that… I was either toying with him or he was a dear, dear friend…” She thought. As she appraised him she decided they must have become friends, as there were too many easy targets around and his disposition put him much lower on the list. Especially since she couldn’t find any spirits on him. This revelation put her somewhat at ease.

“The spirits… If you know I speak to them then you certainly know me. However that meant you were either a very dear friend… or someone who experienced.. Heh, my not so cordial side. I suspect you are a friend?” Seethra asked.

Then she heard the voice of the other boy. Funny how he somehow in an omnificent manor seemed to know she was faking it, though she was a very good actor who for thousands of years made her way through life by deceiving people. It’s kinda her thing after all.

“Crocodile tears? Why would I be doing that, someone’s a bit paranoid hmm? I have allergies, happens a lot when I’m around those things” Seethra said as she pointed to the flowers on the table, tears growing in her eyes again. “Damned Tulips will be the death of me. But if Charlie was rude to me having done nothing I could certainly see why he might have taunted you. You are not pleasant sir.” Seethra said with a smile before taking a meaty bite of her nearly raw steak.

AQUAMARINE

Aquamarine watched as the three guys bickered like old ladies. It was very amusing to say in the least but it was a verbal fight, a fight was a fight and Aquamarine really didn't want shit to go down on the first day. It's actually pitiful if you ask her, but of course, that was just her. She listened as Devon explained what had happened. From Devan's description of what had happened and Charlie's quite colorful one, apparently Charlie came up to Devan and la new comer, rudely asked them to move from the door, thus resulting in all of this happening. The golden-eyed girl watched with curiosity as Devan blended into the shadows or whatever and warped to another location.

Aquamarine turned her attention to the new comer as he apologized for yelling in her house. "It's quite alright hun. You see, I hate fights, and I ask that while you stay here, try not to get into any trouble with the others. Especially you Charlie Brown." she said looking towards Charlie with a humor-filled smile on her face. Smoothing out a lone wrinkle on her dress, she cleared her throat and spoke. "Now It's currrently dinner time, if you would, please follow me back to dining room."


The golden-eyed lady said politely while walking to the Dining room excepting the new comer to follow. Once back in the dining room, Aquamarine sat in her seat and looked at everyone. They seemed to be enjoying the dinner, which made her happier than a child getting toys for Christmas (Sad ass reference). Sapphire had complimented on how nice the food was. "Oh thank you lots!" She chirped. "So, have you ladies been having a nice time?" The golden-eyed woman asked Sapphire and Yeo-reum.

Adaria ate in silence, ignoring the argument between the gentlemen screaming at eachother. He sighed in his head and ate his meal not getting into the fight of words he watched currently. He finished his plate then excused himself and put his dishes and all away. He then walked up to the room he had selected and started to organize his clothes in the drawers they would all belong in.

He opened the window and sighed looking at the forest. He watched his pet fly into the room as well with a ice collection of twigs for the nest he would start building in his master's room. Adaria then decided to try something a bit bold. He grabbed his stick from the dresser and jumped down from the two story window. A slope formed halfway down making him go down the back up and into the forest then disappear. "Time for some magic." he said to himself then began to conjure snow on the trees around him.

Yeo-reum sat frustrated a deep red on her face. "I DON'T have a crush on him. Okay?" she seethes through gritted teeth. "I..." before she can get another word out they are joined by another of the group, this time a man
"Is this seat taken?" he asked politely.
Yeo-reum takes a deep breath and turns to the man trying not to look rattled, "No. Please sit down." she says trying to smile while firing daggers at Sapphire for having fun at her expense.
"Why is everyone talking about Charlie?" Yeo-reum wonders getting more agitated the whole time. She wants to scream, "He's a jerk! Yes, he's a jerk! But he's a cute jerk. It doesn't mean I like him." but she holds her tongue. Finally she just can't take it any more, "ALL RIGHT!" Yeo-reum yells rising, a wind blowing through her hair. "Look all of you! He's a jerk! Okay he's a jerk! I said it! He's cute! I said that too. It may come as a surprise to ALL of you that you can be both. At least I'm not obsessing about why I don't like him." he manner grows more angered, the wind whipping through her hair grows more feverish, dark clouds begin forming outside. She takes several short breaths, a look of fury on her face, "At least I'm NOT playing LITTLE MISS VICTIM!" she screams at Seethra. Yeo-reum realizes that she is making a scene. She tries to think of something to say, but nothing comes. She waves her fists in the air, "Never mind. I'm finished!" she says and angrily storms out of the room as she does the wind in her hair dies and the clouds dissipate.

"It's quite alright hun. You see, I hate fights, and I ask that while you stay here, try not to get into any trouble with the others. Especially you Charlie Brown."

"That makes two of us..." He mumbled under his breath.

"Now It's currrently dinner time, if you would, please follow me back to dining room."


Michael followed Aquamarine into the dining room and sat down and began staring at the food. Oh how he wanted to just eat it all due to his extremely long walk. He piled a large amount of vegetables on his plate and began to slowly eat them; holding back the starving pig inside his stomach that told him to just gobble all the food down.

Garnet

“The spirits… If you know I speak to them then you certainly know me. However that meant you were either a very dear friend… or someone who experienced.. Heh, my not so cordial side. I suspect you are a friend?”

"Probably." Garnet replied. "Though I could just remember this conversation, or maybe I just remember that fact from the time I was omniscient. Even then I still thought you guys were pretty interesting. As for how I remember you all, I think I've figured it out. Garnet is the birthstone of January, with the element of time. And before I had a physical form, I use the term 'before' very loosely, I observed every location in existence at every point in time simultaneously." He went to take another sip of the tea, only to frown when he realized there was no more. "Of course I can't just remember everything from back then. I think that, if I did, my mind would just break and I'd go completely insane."

Turning to Aquamarine, Garnet said, "Thank you for making us all supper." He had neglected to mention, and had in fact completely forgotten, that he hadn't actually eaten anything. After hearing Yeo-reum's outburst, Garnet asked Sapphire, "Is she going to be alright?"

As soon as the Korean had bursted out of the room, Devan stared at the doorway. "Um..... okay....." Well, that was awkward. Devan thought. He then took the seat and went back into conversation with Garnet and the girl, who was named Seethra.

“The spirits… If you know I speak to them then you certainly know me. However that meant you were either a very dear friend… or someone who experienced.. Heh, my not so cordial side. I suspect you are a friend?” Seethra asked Garnet.

"Probably." Garnet replied. "Though I could just remember this conversation, or maybe I just remember that fact from the time I was omniscient. Even then I still thought you guys were pretty interesting. As for how I remember you all, I think I've figured it out. Garnet is the birthstone of January, with the element of time. And before I had a physical form, I use the term 'before' very loosely, I observed every location in existence at every point in time simultaneously. Of course I can't just remember everything from back then. I think that, if I did, my mind would just break and I'd go completely insane."

Again, Devan was confused with all this time talk and stuff about how Garnet knew everything that is, was, and will be, but cannot remember it. "Agh.... You're breaing my mind already, Garnet... At this rate, I will be the one who will go insane.." Devan got a headache from this talk already because he tried to make sense out of it. "Anyway... Your ability is to talk with spirits, Seethra? That's... cool."

"Why is it so cold! Kitten is probably freezeing!" April groaned, kicking the sheets onto the floor. She opened the window larger and clicked her tongue. The small white dove dove through the window, and April leaned over and picked up the mid-size golden cage and set it it on the desk. She left it open, as she liked the animal to be able to go anywhere it wished. Kitten dove into the cage, and she patted its head lightly before turning to the window again. She kicked her leg out, and found purchase on the wall in the form of a jutting brick. She continued to climb down until she touched the ground floor. She walked into the woods until she came upon a really quite amazing sight. There was snow, everywhere. "It's amazing" she said in true awe. "But, no one can see it! It's so dark out here" she laughed. "It reminds me of Christmas here" she said, walking over to the person that caused all this- Adaria. She held out her hand to the largest tree that was covered in snow. A bright yellow light appeared at the top, in the shape of a Christmas star. Twinkling orbs of every color appeared on the branches. She smiled and looked at the tree. "Now it really reminds me of Christmas"

Charlie

Charlie raised his eyebrow at the Charlie Brown bit. At her comment on no more fighting, he was going to comment that he would try so long as she didn't make him try to kick any footballs, but decided against it. Perhaps it would be best to keep his trap shut for a little bit. He had stirred up enough anger to satisfy him for a little while. He was far from the most popular person in the house, but such was the goal.

Charlie turned his head when the dress guy mumbled something. He didn't catch it, but he always hated mumblers. If you had something to say, say it. Don't mumble about it. A mumbling, shoe-less boy in a dress... Guy must have been a lady killer... He reminded him a little of the serial killer in 'Silence of the Lambs.' He could picture this dress boy petting a little dog with make-up on.

What the old english matron said about going back to the table, he assumed was for dressboy and not for him. "Righty-o then. Ima be outside on the steps."

Charlie did a complex series of movements consisting of shuffling his plate to his other hand and the generous use of his foot in order to wedge the door open again without having to put the plate down, in hindsight, he could have just put the plate down and then open the door, but who wanted to do that?

Once the cool night air caressed his skin, Charlie let out a content sigh. It took way too long for him to get out of that damn place then it should have. Plopping down on the stairs he began to eat while watching the stairs.

"I DON'T have a crush on him. Okay?" Sapphire was a little startled at Pearl's anger. She turned her frightened eyes to the newcomer who was asking if he could take a seat, she nodded quickly and saw that Pearl was firing daggers her. She quailed under her gaze.

"Why is everyone talking about Charlie?" Pearl wondered angrily. "ALL RIGHT!" Sapphire jumped at the yell. "Look all of you! He's a jerk! Okay he's a jerk! I said it! He's cute! I said that too. It may come as a surprise to ALL of you that you can be both. At least I'm not obsessing about why I don't like him." Now Sapphire was a little frightened, as wind whipped around and dark clouds begin forming outside. "At least I'm NOT playing LITTLE MISS VICTIM!" Pearl screamed at Seethra. A while later she waved her fists in the air, "Never mind. I'm finished!"

She didn't have time to answer Garnet's question because almost instantly Sapphire got up and her klutziness ensued. Her plate went flying straight into her face and she accidentally stabbed her hand with her fork in the confusion. She wailed in pain before falling backwards on her chair and hit the back of her head. Despite being dazed, she got up quickly and tried to clean up the mess but made it worse after she accidentally spilled the gravy all over the table. Sapphire was flustered and almost broke up into tears.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!!" she repeatedly apologized before running off with a mess to chase after Pearl.

"Pearl! Pearl!" she called out, quickly following the angry girl. "Pearl, I'm sorry! I was just teasing you, I never meant to get you so angry!"

Sapphire quickened her pace and reached out for Pearl. "I'll stop teasing you if it'll make you feel ha-"

She slipped and fell flat on her face just behind Pearl. On the floor, all the pain from her clumsy antics rushed into her along with guilt, the black haired girl cupped her bleeding nose and mouth with tears in her eyes. The gravity failed her because she was just too flustered to concentrate anymore. She stifled a small sob and didn't bother getting up, hiding her face from view as she felt the blood trickling down her nose and the taste of blood in her mouth.

"I-If it makes you happy...if it makes you happy..." she mumbled through her injuries. "Stop...teasing, happy, sorry."

...Seems like she took a pretty bad hit to the back of her head in the dining room.

Yeo-reum turned and saw Sapphire laying on the floor and she was a mess. Looking at her friend she felt really badly, especially since she wasn't angry at Sapphire. She crouched down to help Sapphire off the ground, "I'm... I'm sorry. I... I wasn't angry at you." Yeo-reum felt really badly for Sapphire; not only was she feeling badly for upsetting Sapphire, but now she was a mess. "Look, I... I wasn't angry at you. It was that other woman, Little Miss Victim."
Yeo-reum got Sapphire to her feet and tried really hard not to laugh. "You... you have gravy on your dress and in your hair." she fought back a snicker, "Are you okay." she asked pulling out a napkin and wiping some of the gravy out of her hair. "You don't seem to have any bruises or anything. I really am not angry at you. I'm sorry you thought so."
Yeo-reum smiles brightly at Sapphire, "You can tease me any time you like." then she hugs her friend.

"Woah!" Devan exclaimed as he stood up when the girl, Yeo-rum. burst in anger and stormed out of the room. Then, Sapphire accidentally hit herself in the face with her plate and stabed her hand with a fork (Devan is still wondering how in the world that could happen). He stood up and asked "Are you ok-"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!!" Sapphire apologized, then ran after the enraged girl. Devan sighed, then said "I'll clean this up." He went out to get a broom and a dust pan. Devan got back and started to clean the mess up.

Adaria sighed happily as he watched his masterpiece, the snow falling from thin air. He leaned against a tree and silently closed his eyes as he heard the hoots of Checks flying out of his room to gather more branches for his soon to be nest. His eyes jolted open and he nearly fell as he heard a voice, a sweet feminine voice talking about how pretty the snow was. He looked slightly in awe as she lit up one making it look more like a Christmas tree than a natural one. "A work of art." he muttered as he walked closer to the girl and muttered jut loud enough for her to hear.

"I didn't mean to frighten you..." April said quickly, when he almost fell. "And thank you. I just love colorful things. They are always better than bland ones, but that's more of an observation" She smiled and looked up at the tree, the colorful orbs twinkling in the frigged air. "Though, it only snows off and on in Greece, so I have never seen this much of it..." she trailed off, walking to the tree, her face and body covered in patches of red, green, pink, and every other color from the lights. She sat down beneath the tree, and looked up at the snow covered branches above her, and her fingers running through the snow below her.

Adaria smiled and shook his head. "No my dear, it's fine I wasn't hurt." he chuckled slightly and listened to her talk about her home and the way she loved colors. It was somewhat strange to listen to April as she told him of the rare snows in Greece. He sighed and sat a bit beside her, leaning on his own tree. "I have always liked a rainbow of colors, much like yourself at the moment." he laughed lightly then sighed and looked around. "I always liked the way the pure snow would lay on the dark green needles as a blue sky loomed overhead... I love it." he said with a slight twinkle in his eye.

The piece of chicken Aquamrine had just put in her mouth fell out as she jumped at Yeo-reum's outburst. Aquamarine sniffled in a crying manner as she stared at the delightful peice of chicken that dropped on the floor. She heard Yeo-reum say something about thinking Charlie Brown was attractive....wait..what? Aquamarine honestly didn't think that was something to get all PMS-y for, but she wasn't one to judge. Yeo-reum then stormed out of the dining room. She watched as Sapphire lost a deadly battle to 'Fork and Plate' while getting up. The shy girl had accidentally spilled gravy all over the table, sputtered a few sorries and followed after Yeo-reum.

The golden-eyed girl was going to follow after them to see if they were alright, but sadly, Aquamarine wasn't as aquainted with the two and doubted her words would help. She gave Garnet a smile that most likely said 'Your welcome.' Said girl heard Devan declare he was going to clean up the mess. She looked over to him and saw that he had already started. "On no, you musn't. It would only be aproppriate if I were to clean it up, you are a guest after all." Now let's see, how was she going to get it up? Why, The Boss way of course! As she remembered, the gravy powder was mixed with water, so surely she pick it up. This was her first time trying this but it should go rather smoothly. Concentrating on picking up the gravy, she moved her hands in a slow beckoning motion. The gravy hovered from the table and over to Aquamarine's hands. "It worked!" She said with triumpth in her voice.

La golden-eyed lady walked into the kitchen and dumped the gravy into the sink, watching as it went down the drain. She walked back into the dining room and streched her hands over her head. A small purring type of sound escaped her lips as she finished. "When everyone is finished eating, please come tell me, I'll be outside." With that, she walked out of the dining room and took off her heels. Walking pass Sapphire and Yeo-reum, she saw that they were hugging each other. Oh the joys of friendship. Opening the front door, she walked out and immediately started shivering. "Why the fuck is it so cold?" Aquamarine cried in her normal way of speaking. "Aren't we in Spring?..." She asked no one, not knowing Charlie was sitting a few steps away from her.

"I've always liked a snow-covered dawn. The rich purples reflect off the snow beautifully. Then again, I've always liked Dawn in general. I guess it is in my nature" she smiled, and gathered some snow in her hand, packing it into a ball. "You know, the snow never lasted long enough for me to try something I've always wanted to. No snowmen, no snow angels..." She smirked, holding the snowball up "No snowball fights" she threw the snowball up, hitting it against the branch of the tree and sending a shower of snow down onto her. She laughed and stood up, walking around the tree, gathering snow in her hands quickly.

Charlie

Charlie had noticed the air had gotten a bit chilly, which wasn't that odd considering that the sun had set, but it was far colder then it should have been. Still, he had tried to so hard to get outside, he wasn't about to turn tail and head back in now. He would bear the cold; it wasn't that bad. Even through the door; he managed to hear the raising of voices coming from inside the house, he couldn't make out the words, but he heard it. Refreshing to know it just wasn't him that caused all the yelling, or it could be about him.. He must have that effect on women.

Charlie had the plate of food sitting on his knees, and he ate in silence gazing at the stars and trying to ignore the sounds from the side of the house that sometimes came over. Sounded like a couple of people were playing, or making-out, or both. Honestly, he didn't care as long as he didn't have to see.

He nearly jumped out of his skin when the door behind him opened, instantly fearing it was the red-headed she-bitch. Charlie turned to look at who it was, and it was the Old-English Matron... without shoes on.. Odd. Charlie blinked when she caused once more, so not so matrony like. Well, there went that well-thought nickname. When she asked if it was spring, Charlie assumed she was asking him, even if she was not looking at him.

"Kinda hard to tell, but last time I checked we were." Charlie had almost made a Wizard of Oz reference, but decided against it, sure it would be one of those jokes that sounded brilliant in his head, but dull and pointless once said. "Where did the old timey english host go to?" Charlie teased, "And going all natural?" He said pointing at her feet. "Works for you."

Sapphire felt someone helping her off the ground, but kept her hands on the bottom of her face to stop the blood. It was Pearl who was helping her. "I'm... I'm sorry. I... I wasn't angry at you." Sapphire stared at Pearl blankly for a short while before she felt her nose getting stuffy and her eyes felt a little weird. "Look, I... I wasn't angry at you. It was that other woman, Little Miss Victim."

Pearl got Sapphire to her feet and seemed to be fighting back laughter. "You... you have gravy on your dress and in your hair." Pearl said, to which Sapphire felt herself going red. After she had her shower too... "Are you okay?" Sapphire nodded while Pearl used a napkin to wipe some gravy from her hair. "You don't seem to have any bruises or anything. I really am not angry at you. I'm sorry you thought so."

Pearl gave Sapphire a bright smile and hugged her. "You can tease me any time you like."

Sapphire cuddled back for a short while before she looked back at Pearl, still covering her nose.

"I'b going bak to mah room." she mumbled out through her nose. "Shawar."

She hurried up the stairs and stumbled thrice before reaching her room and into the shower again. She took a look at her hands as the water washed off the blood. Oh wow... she's hate to look at herself in the mirror...

After the shower, she put on a simple white t-shirt and a pair of black shorts and proceeded to look at herself in the mirror. Her nose looked fine, but one couldn't judge the injury just from the outside...she might have to find someone who could heal her. And there was a small cut on her bottom lip caused by her teeth when she fell. It kind of gave her a more naive and childish look though, like some girl who was curious with what a stapler tastes like and getting a scar on her lip.

"Huh..." she leaned in for a closer look of her lip. "...at least it's not that hideous..."

She went around feeling the back of her head where she hit the floor. Oh my... there was a rather huge lump, and it hurt whenever she pressed it lightly. A slight sight before she proceeded for the door.

She went out of her room again to look for Pearl, or perhaps she should begin socializing with the others too...She was going to live under the same roof as the rest of them, so might as well get to know the others.

Yeo-reum watches Sapphire run upstairs to her room and close the door. She sits on the stairs, chin in her hands, she sighs. "That was really stupid Yeo-reum. You shouldn't have gotten angry at them. Now everyone will hate you worse than Charlie." She thinks about how angry she got and how she yelled at everyone. She drops her head into her knees. She's always had a quick, angry temper and then she calms down just as quickly, "Your mood changes like the weather." a friend told her many years ago; they never knew how right they were.
"Why do I get so angry?" she moans raising her head and dropping it back down again, "Sapphire is such a good and sweet friend. How could I be so stupid?" She's sure Sapphire won't want to ever speak to her again and when she does it will be because Sapphire is so polite and kind.
"I should go up and talk to her." she mumbles into her legs. "But what would I say? I already told her I'm sorry and I wasn't mad at her." She raises her head and practices, "Sapphire, I'm sorry I yelled at you." She shakes her head, "No, I already did that." she thinks and tries again and again. Finally she sighs, "Sapphire I'm a horrible, rotten jerk and a bad friend. I'm sorry for not being a better person." She nods her head. She's not going to go and say that to her, but it's the truth.

It all happened extremely fast, he had barely even blinked and gravy was everywhere along with Sapphire on the floor. Yeo-reum's outburst made Michael almost jump out from his seat. Charlie, cute? He was no female but there was nothing cute about Charlie, he wasn't going to let her know that however in fear of her exploding with anger again.

He decided not to get up from the table until the whole ordeal was over with and no gravy or forks would be sent flying his way. He needed a break; why had he even come here? This house was far too hectic from him, he liked small houses up on the mountain top that didn't have fork flingers and drama-mamas. This was becoming too surreal for him, like some episode out of the Jersey Shore or that one TV Show with that girl with the giant knockers and the fake tan...wait that as Jersey Shore. Once Aquamarine finished cleaning up the gravy he excused himself from the table and lifelessly walked into the kitchen, his mind still trying to grasp what the hell happened. "Meh...I need some tea."

He fumbled around in the upper cabinets until he found the mugs. He looked behind him and could see Yeo-reum still on the floor, seemingly crying and depressed. He took two mugs out and set them on the counter next to the stove. He filled the teapot up with water and turned on the Gas(Because Electric sucks) stove and set the Teapot atop the flame.

Within minutes the teapot was whistling and he turned off the fire. He took out a plastic baggie from the inside of his Kimono and opened it. As he opened it a mixture of smells from mint to jasmine were carried by the steam. He emptied the contents into the teapot and let it steep for a few more minutes before pouring it into the cups. He added a teaspoon of honey into the cups for flavoring and walked back into the dining room.

He set his cup on the table and walked over to Yeo-reum. As he approached her she seemed to be murmuring things, he managed to read her lips, was she practicing to apologize? He knelt down beside her and held out the teacup.

"Drink this, it should calm you down and allow you to think of an apology, then again you really don't need to. Friends understand each other, I think. Then again I'm no psychologist, just a wisdom giver and a Chain Flower Shop owner!"

He smiled and put his hand on the floor to give him some balance, then he felt a warm liquid run across his hand. He looked down and saw his hand was in a small puddle of Sapphire's Blood. He cringed and looked away, trying to avoid the reality. "P-p-please take the teacup so I can get your friend's blood off my hands...Please?"
