The Outcasts ((Accepting))

[Ƨнα∂σω Ƙιƨƨ]

Syth sighed, biting his lip, his face going completely expressionless again as he walked, his hands in his pockets.

"Um, did I say something wrong?" Daniella asked when his face went all expressionless.

[Ƨнα∂σω Ƙιƨƨ]

"No," Syth mumbled with a deep sigh and innocent shrug. "Why?"

[FoodIsYummy]

" 'Cause you got all expressionless and junk," Daniella said.

[Ƨнα∂σω Ƙιƨƨ]

Syth looked at her and arched an eyebrow as he continued toward his house, but didn't say a word.

Amare kept the smile on his face like a shield, blocking off Jacky's concerns. "Mary, dear, I'm not going anywhere," he said laughingly, putting a hand on her shoulder as he leaned away from her frowning gaze. He strode back to the stove as the tea pot began to whistle with steam, plucking it up and pouring boiling water into each of the mugs. He walked back over to the island, handing out the mugs to Jacky and Kyoko, sparing the girl a friendly wink as he passed the cup from his hands to hers. "What about you, Kyoko? How do you like your tea?" he asked, striding back over to the kitchen to gather up the fixings, shrugging off Jacky's worries as if they had passed, unheard.

{I might make another charrie and have he or she be Amare's "boss". What on earth Amare would be employed to do, I have no idea, but treason comes to mind...}

Jacky's eyes trail on Amare as he walked. She shook her head. "I'm serious Amare. You have to stop. Your eyes...well you looked very tired." She said, talking more like people now a days. She didn't like talking like that, she much rather preferred Cockney (the way of talking from where she was...like old old english...down in the getto kinda thing, like 'ain't' and stuff like that).

Kyoko shrugged. "i don't know...not to strong. Lots of sugar and honey..."

[Iilyda]

{Yeah, I've heard of Cockney. But only with subtitles. ^^ I'm working on a bad guy form.}

Amare brough the sugar and honey over to where Kyoko sat, beginning to dump spoonfuls of both in. "Just say when," he told her, giving her another friendly smile. "Mary dear, ime kala... I'm fine," he insisted, accidentally dropping back into his native language. "I have lots of work to do that's all... papers to grade, classes to plan...," he said, trailing off as he stared emptily at Kyoko's tea as he poured more and more sweeteners into it.

[˩αƨт Ƨαcяαғιcɛ]

Kyoko blinked."uh...that's good." She laughed nervously.

Jacky sighed. "I know that is not true."

(okay)

[Iilyda]

Amare blinked and then put the spoon back down, covering up the bowl of sugar and bringing both back into the kitchen, where he threw them in the cabinet. "So how was your journey?" Amare asked in an obvious attempt to change the subject. "Does the Lorelei Lee still out-sail my Athena?" He gave a dry grin and sat down with his tea, scooping up a stack of term papers.

Syth looked at her and arched an eyebrow as he continued toward his house, but didn't say a word.

Daniella kept following him. She was wondering what was up with him. He always started getting all secluded. It was a tad bit annoying.
