Robert glanced at the girl for only a moment, his feet now at the exit. In a small way he was glad the girl didn't stand in-front of him, nor did she make a move to touch him. In that way, he could draw at least a small bit of satisfaction. However, she was still talking to him, which no matter at what position she did, was still not aloud. Not now, not ever. Not until Robert was dubbed full worth of his abilities and able to control them, which in basic terminology meant never. It had been deemed already that control over his self was 99.99% impossible. Any seal that ever touched his skin had been absorbed into him, and ultimately done nothing but fuel his battery-like curse. It was truly an annoying (and in some cases disturbing) thing.
His lifeless orbs returned to look at the door, him already seeing out of the corner that the waiter was leaving his back room to bring the hot chocolate to Robert's table, soon to see that he was merely walking toward wood and air. It was becoming ever more clear now that Robert had to leave. But, he could not control the small ideas that seemed to pop in his mind. The miniscule and ultimately overpowered thoughts that seemed to show some small form of resiliance against their oppressive counterparts.
They made Robert think for only a second on what to do. To go, or to stay. To leave into the harsh and unforgiving life that had been so cruely forced upon him, or to stay and maybe, in some small way, find pleasure in living the day to day. Possibly, if he was in any way lucky, make something of a friend of this new group. One had to admit, the thought was appealing. A real life. Dare one say it? Robert thought of becoming a real boy. But, the second passed, and the lawful side of Robert's reasoning took over once again, bringing him to open the door and begin his departure of the restaurant. However, it seemed as the boy left the restaurant, a word, quiet and soft, escaped his almost speechless lips. It was against all better judgement of himself, for such a word tended to spark future socializing which, of course, was not aloud. Yet, his longing for company got the better of him, and the word seeped through the seemingly absolute wall of the rules side of him.
"Robert."
His name was spoken, and he could only hope that one did not hear it. Even if his desires asked for more.

Robert...
That was his name. She smiled as he left and she followed him just a little. No she wasn't one of those crazy stalkers she was the kind of girl that wanted to reassure him. She wouldn't walk him back to the school or even ask him to come back inside but she did have something to say.
She stepped outside again and caught up to the boy quickly still not touching him only out of courtesy she looked over.
"It was nice to meet you Robert. Have a good day."
With that she let him go and let him walk away if that was what he really wanted to do. She turned and headed back into the cafe and sat back down next to Darian.
"Sorry, just didn't want him to leave feeling bad or left out." she explained to the both of them.

Mayon looked as the boy began to leave. He also noticed that Darian had asked Shea out on a date. Mayon didn’t mind of course. He did feel something however and he wasn’t sure what it was. As Darian had asked her out Mayon completely realized that him AND Shea had totally left him out of the conversation by accident. Mayon did feel a bit bad for this and would have to apologize to Darian for that. Mayon watched as Shea stood up and went over to talk to the boy. He wasn’t sure about the boy just yet as he really didn’t know him. He wondered if the boy was in the academy. But what would a little kid be doing at a school for intense magic training and such.
Mayon looked over to Darian and still had to apologize. Darian was likely very peeved seeing as how he was left out of the conversation for such a long time. He wondered what Darian was thinking. If he was mad because he looked it. Or was he just jealous. He had to ask Shea out to get back into the conversation as if it was the only thing he could’ve done.
“So Darian. I am truly sorry for Shea and I leaving you out of the conversation I really didn’t notice. I was...a bit distracted. I hope you aren’t mad and I hope it doesn’t affect our friendship if we even have one.” Mayon then laughed.
Once he was finished Shea sat back down. He listened to what Shea said and he had to admit that if the kid wanted to come over he should. He didn’t want to leave the poor kid out. Even so he thought they shouldn’t be treating the kid like...a kid. If he was in the academy he obviously had a matured mind and was able to handle some stuff. It was pretty obvious. He wondered if the boy wanted to be treated as a child or an adult despite his age.

Distracted by what?
"Shea and I already went through conversations and introductions so you were in control of the conversation for her to ask me the questions you had asked would be redundant," Darian said calmly.
Darian sipped his drink and looked at Mayon with his neutral expression there was no decision yet. Darian never categorized a person just yet he always made sure that he was confident on a person. He heard the apology but, the laugh at the end sort of made it sublime. Darian thought about the kid for a moment as he considered the situation. That kid was a very strange one. Not strange as in weird because every student at the academy had their quirks. Just strange as in he had never seen such beheavior before.
Taking another sip of his coffee he glanced at the tab for a brief moment. Picking it up he glanced at it wrote a tip for it and set a bank card on it. The waiter picked it up and came back with a reciept a few minutes later which Darian signed with a flourish. Putting up the bank card and receipt back into his wallet Darian sipped his coffee again and felt Shea come back. He gave a smile to her and heard her speak refering to the child for a moment and gave a brief nod.
"So Shea as I recall you had just asked what the three of us should do next."

Shea looked at the both of them and nodded. That was indeed what she had asked before the whole conversation took a slight turn and then she had seen to the boy. Still hoping Robert would join them she really didn't care what they did next. But she was having fun as she normally did a girl that usually found something to enjoy about almost anything.
"Yes, well I thought unless one of you had something more pressing we might find something else to do together. I'm not sure what but I'm sure that between three talented students we can figure it out." she said with a gentle smile.
She looked at Darian and gave him a smile again before turning back to Mayon and then her attention moved to the dregs of her hot chocolate as she sipped it waiting for someone to come up with an answer while she too thought.

Mayon wondered what they could do together. There wasn’t much Mayon could think of seeing as how he had only been in Babylos for a week or two. He looked down at his cup. Mayon had finished his coffee and was getting a bit frustrated trying to think of something to do. He just couldn’t think of anything. Although he was sure there was a lot to do in Babylos. If only he knew what some of those things. Mayon had been thinking of something else for a while now. Mayon touched Sheas hand again and talked to her quietly.
“Um Shea? Can we speak in Private?”
Shea nodded and Mayon and her moved over to the corner of the café. He looked over at the boy who was still there and he wondered what he was doing. It didn’t matter right now however as Mayon still wanted to do something. He still wanted to thank Shea and ask her a question. He gently touched Sheas hand.
“So Shea. I want to thank you for temporarily taking the pain away form my hand. Also I wanted to ask you something. I was wondering if we could do something maybe tonight or some other time. I was thinking of going to the school library. We could hang out and study together as I’m sure we will probably have the same classes. Or we could do something else that you want to do.”
Mayon smiled.

If Mayon was trying to irritate Darian he was starting to work on it with all this bothersome secrecy and nonsense.
"Just humor me Shea. I don't like the way he's forcing himself on you."
Darian's voice was in her ear a brief whisper that eminated from her earring without moving his lips. A marevolous and neat trick that Mayon wouldn't hear since the voice was too low. Standing up he walked over after Mayon asked and smiled he slid an arm comfortably around Shea's shoulder and squeezed it.
"You know getting all secretive behind my back is rather rude. Espically when you're trying to force yourself on my girlfriend like that."
"We'll talk later if you want Shea."
Again Darian's lips didn't move nor did Mayon here when he spoke in her ear. Ventriliquism was a very neat trick that Darian learned from his older brother.

Shea turned her attention to Mayon when she felt the gentle touch on her hand. Her pale green eyes looked at him and smiled gently when he asked to speak with her in private. She could only nod and wonder what it was that he wanted to talk to her about.
He led her into the corner of the cafe and took her hand in his gently. She looked up as he spoke and at the thank you she smiled.
"I would be happy to take the pain away any time it gets bothersome." she smiled as she listened to his next question.
Suddenly Darian came up behind her and put his arm around her shoulder squeezing her into him. She heard his words and wasn't sure what was going to happen she looked up at Mayon and then her head couldn't help but look to Darian in confusion when he called her his girlfriend. It was so unexpected she just couldn't hide her shock.
"Well." she said softly turning her attention back to Mayon so she could answer his question. "I would enjoy a study partner but tonight it seems Darian has already claimed. Perhaps we can study another time. Like tomorrow afternoon in the library."
She felt a bit awkward really unsure what was going on. Firstly Darian's arm was around her shoulder and he was calling her his girlfriend. That was shocking enough but then Mayon wanted to study or hang out. She was.. confused. She sighed and looked down at her hands now clasped in front of her. She felt like she was caught in a war between the two and felt very uncomfortable. She moved away from the both of them shrugging Darian's hand off her shoulder.
"If you'll both excuse me." she said softly and walked to the door of the cafe. "I'll leave you to your conversation."
She stepped outside and began walking down the sidewalk.

Darian watched Shea leave and merely sighed and looked at Mayon with narrowed eyes before he left in a different direction. He'd talk with Shea later right now he needed to think of a few things himself.
==============================================
Come with me Shea, I'll explain why my owner is being a dolt.
Orchid was waiting for her in an open part of the sidewalk and licking on of his paws. He had spoken to Shea yes but, he liked her and thought that Darian had just acted like an idiot. The cat waited until she got over the shock of him speaking to her mentally and simply streched out for a moment waiting.
Besides you look like you could stand to get away from the two for a bit.
He rubbed his large body against her leg and gave a feline smile.
"Merow."

“Oh but Shea wait a second.”
Mayon walked over to Shea. He could see that she didn’t want to do anything else in this group and Mayon couldn’t blame her. Mayon asked Shea simple question and Darian came over and seemed to partially freak out. Although Mayon was still calm and happy he felt that Shea was now distressed but should still see her off and try to make her feel a little better before she goes.
“Well I’m sorry you’re leaving Shea and I am very sorry that just happened over there near Darian. Also I don’t want you to think I’m forcing myself upon you no matter what it looks like. Although I have no idea why you may think that. Anyway I will contact you for that ‘studying in the library’ thing we have planned. So I guess I will see you later.”
Mayon lifted up Sheas hand and kissed it gently as a gesture to say goodbye. He then walked back over to Darian to say something. He walked up and looked at Darian. He was still smiling but then turned to a dull and lazy look. He felt as if Darian really didn’t like Mayon although it didn’t bother Mayon too much as he now new that Darian and Shea were not boyfriend or girlfriend. Before Mayon left he told Darian one thing.
“I guess I will be seeing you around Darin. Also by the look on Sheas face when you say ‘girlfriend’ I am guessing she isn’t actually your ‘girlfriend’ so I am going to try to go out with her. I will not do anything she doesn’t like and if she doesn’t want to go out with me then she won’t. Either way I don’t care what you think of me for doing this.”
Mayon said this in a calm voice as he went to grab his black cloak. He put it around himself and walked out the same direction as Shea seeing as how there was only one door. As he left he saw Shea standing there with a cat moving around her leg. He stopped for a moment and waited to see what was up as he was wondering.

Shea walked down the sidewalk she stopped when she heard Mayon's voice. She turned and let him say what he wanted. He kissed her hand and she smiled gently.
"See you then." she said softly and turned to walk away.
A few steps later and there was Orchid and she almost just screamed but the voice in her head stopped her in her tracks. She looked down at Orchid who was suddenly talking to her. Bella never spoke to anyone else before. Orchid rubbed up against her and she nodded.
"Let's go then." she said softly as she rubbed his head gently before letting the cat lead her where he wanted.

Orchid stared at Mayon with narrowed feline eyes and walked away with her not interested in having Mayon follow. Walking alongside her he picked up the pace with her so they could quickly get away from the others. He sighed when he heard Darian's thoughts.
We might want to pick up the pace. Mayon just insulted Darian and I know that boy has a short fuse so he'll do something.
==============================================
"If you're going to insult."
Darian started in a whisper.
"Never turn your back."
He finished in a whisper.
Darian felt a small click go off in his mind as in a single movement he drew his gun and snapped it open ejecting a rubber round and pulling out an icy looking round. The round was chill to the touch and he snapped the gun closed with a soft click and stepped outside where he saw Mayon trying to follow. Leveling his gun since Mayon was too occupied he pulled the trigger the bullet speeding for Mayon's kneecap. It was not only going to hurt like hell but, freeze him up. Again he pulled the trigger the trigger since people were getting out of the way this time a rubber round going straight for the small of the back.
Moving backwards now his eyes snapped open as he felt his aim out for a moment and pulled the trigger rapidly four more times sending four more bullets at Mayon's joints. His target could be moving but, Darian knew that Mayon couldn't avoid them all as he snapped open his gun in a lighting movement letting the shells clatter to the ground. He reloaded in a fast movement even as he threw his cloak open and drew out his other gun this one a Glock 19L and flicked off the safety. He waited calmly and cooly.
"You should watch who you insult Mayon. You never know when they'll bite back."

Mayon watched as Shea walked of with the cat and he was about to go off to talk to her when he heard the rounds of a gunshot off. He felt the freezing bullet hit his knee and he couldn’t move. He then felt a rubber round hit his back. He then felt as some hitting him in his joints. Mayon then fell to the ground in great pain. But this wouldn’t keep him on the ground. It would merely leave some bruises. But for the next couple of seconds he was on the ground. Mayon was lying on his stomach with his chest on top of his left arm. This was perfect.
Mayon felt a little piece of paper under him, which he clenched into his fist as he moved his arm out from under him so he was flat on the ground. He knew what he was doing. He kept the paper clenched in his hands and was ready for his next move. Mayons eyes were closed.
“*Coughs* Heh nice Darian. Hitting someone from behind is really classy. I am sure Shea would love that. You are not thinking today are you? Well it doesn’t matter anyway I don’t want to fight you but if you leave me no choice then I will...” Mayon then trailed off. he didn’t need to explain himself to Darian.

Shea heard the gun shots and cursed. She turned and kicked the wall of the building she had been walking by and looked down at Orchid.
"You better go protect your owner before I freeze him and kick him where it will really count." she said as she turned and saw Mayon on the ground.
"Damnit!" she snarled.
She walked over to the fallen Mayon and touched him gently she could tell he was still a bit frozen. She touched him and the ruby on her wrist as she warmed him up the rest of the way.
"Are you all right?" she asked softly.
She reached up and touched her emerald and closed her eyes taking his hand. This was a bigger healing than it had been earlier. The green light from her shined brighter than ever before as she healed the bruises. Soon the light faded and now the buises would be nothing more than a slight red spot on his skin where the rubber bullets had hit. She picked up one of the bullets and put it in her pocket before she helped Mayon up.
"I'm going back to the Academy you can walk with me if you like. Or .. you could stay. Your choice." she said after giving Darian a look that could kill for shooting AGAIN in public into a crowd she turned on her heal and began walking off towards school with neither in tow.

Orchid gave a feline sigh as he looked at her knowing that Bella was going to be pissed as hell at him for when Shea came back. He winced at the thought the black snow leopard rather liking the fierce little white kitten. Instead he walked beside Shea as he placed himself so neither person could walk beside Shea he would nudge them out of the way. The girl needed time to think that much was for certain and Orchid knew that he would need her in as good as mood as possible to get Bella to help talk to her and cool off her fuse.
May I ask why? The feline asked of Darian who gave a small shrug and walked to the right of the cat slightly behind.
You really need to work on that temper of yours. Orchid prodded and again Darian was silent as he walked near the cat who was keeping pace with Shea.
He didn't say a word to Mayon. What was there to say? The guy had no code of honor or else he would have realized that what he had been saying were insults to Darian's morals. Nor did he like the guy's cocky mannerisms. Still he would apologize to Shea later for what he did. His guns were in their holsters as he walked in the same spot. Would he apologize to Mayon? Probabaly not. The guy had those shots coming to him after all and what Darian did was pure instinct.
I think you need to sit down with me and Bella. Orchid said to Shea as he made the two boys keep their distance.
