Aristocrat's Symphony Semi-Lit + OPEN

[iva wolf]

[After having a 12-year-old jump out the window? No way ]

Letting the cup slip her finders, if she was not quick to react, the tea would have spilled all over the table when her brother pulled her by the hand and led her away. It was slightly startling, but Haze was excited. Her smile expressed her apparent happiness, which came from seeing how enthusiastic Daisuke was. As always, he was ready to do everything on the spot if it seemed like a fun idea to him. That spirit which burned in flames so wild and warm was her only light in this dark dark world she was forced to live in since birth. It made is so that all the shadows of reality existed only in books. What made her twitch a bit was the sudden coldness that came from the little cracks in the wood as they stopped at the door. A slight blush appeared from the temperature change as her brother asked her the question. She really wanted to hide it, but her already red cheeks and shivering feet made it obvious that she was cold. The mention of the old coat from around ten years ago left the girl with mixed feelings. It was nice and warm, plus it had her brother's scent, however, it was heavy and smelled of other unpleasant, unfamiliar smells that her sibling described as "the stench of the front-line that has soaked in". All the bad points the lass could bear with, but there was one thing that was displeasing. That was the hectic search that became somewhat a treasure hunt when trying to find the coat or similar things that were not used for a long period of time, which can range from years to merely a week in this case, by her brother.
"N-No need!" she quickly replied "But, onii-san, wouldn't we need mittens? Your hands will bleed again from the cold if you don't."

[I actually looked it up on the Internet. It says nee-chan and nii-chan and such are only used when addressing older siblings. Haze is younger so shouldn't Dai call her imouto ?]

"Yes, please. I'd like only honey, though. " the long-haired girl said with a smile. After taking another bite, she spoke once more "Will you be having classes with anyone today? I'm looking forward to my Latin, but I can't skip on my own mother, now, can I?" she chuckled.

[I'm stuck here o.O The muse for Amaya is just not coming, it seems. ]

((@iva wolf; Yeah, that would be a waste xD. What do you want to do about Lisitsa and Emmaline?))

Cassia~Le Versailles~Youngster
Cassia nodded, understanding what the man said. He probably did know Kamijo's emotions better than her, she wasn't going to deny that. "I suppose that's true." she replied to his last comment, watching as he took Haze and got her ready. It was strange, acting so differently from one moment to another, a seamless switch of emotions. She placed her teacup down gently and brushed a few strands of hair from her eyes, wondering if she should go and see Kamijo yet. He probably still needed time to prepare.

Dorian~Mizer~Youngster
Dorian tilted his head slightly to one side, letting Gackt take his pulse more easily. "I'm not sure why, I had things on my mind I guess." he said, his dark eyes flitting around the kitchen, not really looking at any one thing. "I don't think I'm sick, I just get these.. bad migraines sometimes, for no apparent reason. It's kinda strange." He frowned slightly when the other man said he looked pale. He was? He hadn't really taken the time to look in a mirror that morning, so he had no idea what his complexion looked like.

(Finally have time to write something)

Emmaline~Nightmare~Child
Secret ruins? Emma had never heard of such a thing existing in the forest, and her childish curiosity piqued. She gazed up at the serenely beautiful woman standing before them, her chocolate brown eyes pleading and innocent. Noticing a strange expression the 'mother's' face, she was almost put off, but instead stepped up on the charm offensive. "Please, we can discover them together. It will be really fun if you come too!" she said, using the depth of her charm offensive to try and convince her. She had no idea if it would work, as she had never tried it on the mysterious woman. Some people just did't fall for it, she was too scared to try it on others. However, River was a pleasant person, so she had no doubts about trying to get her and Lisitsa's way

RiverVale

River glanced back at Emma and shook her head "I don't believe either of you should be going to these secret ruins, there most likely secret for a reason, and would you want to get in trouble with the Clanhead?" Her tone was serious and concerned she did not want to see them hurt or get in trouble. River then looked at Lisitsa then back at Emmaline making sure that they understood what she said, her expression was just as serious as the tone in her voice. Her eyes also hardened when she heard persuading charm in Emma's voice, she disliked it when other tried to take advantage of her kindness.

(Okay, I can finally be on again! Sorry that it took me so long.)

(Iva, I asked a friend of mine who studies Japanese and she told me that nee-san means older sister. I asked her, 'how do you say older and younger sister in Japanese.' She was like, 'Nee-san and nee-chan are things people usually use, but for other ways I'd have to grab my study book.' So I think both of our ways are the right way.)

'I think you do need,' Daisuke said, 'and yeah... I'll just get some gloves. By the way, I know you're thinking I'm going to take hours searching, but I actually cleaned my closet yesterday!' He showed a somewhat childish, proud smile to his little sister. 'So, wait here, I'll be back in a minute.' And then he just took of and ran up the stairs, only to come down indeed within a minute. He threw Haze a pair of mittens and then stopped in front of her. 'So, here you go. Put on this coat.' And then he remembered what Haze would always say about Daisuke's old clothing and he smiled, saying, 'I didn't fight wearing this. It's for ceremonies only.' The jacket was long and black, with some silver-colored lines and symbols making it more pretty. Daisuke then stood up and put on his own jacket, which was clearly a military jacket. It reached to his knees and was that particular green color... He waited for Haze.

'I see,' Gackt said, 'still , I could always take a look. I'm a doctor, too, even though that's usually forgotten.' He took a step back from the boy to not seem so intimidating anymore. 'Did you eat breakfast already?' he then asked, getting some food out of the fridge for himself as well. He only took a bit of sushi that was left-over from the dinner he had with his clan yesterday. 'Want some sushi? It's good for your health. Oh, by the way, sleeping helps against migraine. Darkness as well. You should put on your sunglasses the whole day if you still have to do stuff...'

Yu~ki nodded and then said, 'it's amazing how you can recognize all those sounds...' And he smiled at that. He listened to Lucine speaking, occasionally letting her know he was still listening by mumbling something like, 'hmm,' or 'yeah.' When she finished speaking, he said, 'sad and happy memories at the same time... I have some mixed feelings about the winter too. Because it's Tetsu's birthday in two days as well. I should be happy and so should he but he won't celebrate it anymore since mother died.' Then he said, 'oh, I'm sorry. I'm dragging the topic away from what's important...' He thought for a moment, 'if you will leave us... I am sure Alain has made some good friends in the clan, because I know for sure that you will be among us for many more years.' He smiled softly. 'And I think there are enough people here who will be able to take care after Alain.'

'Dead?' Taiji asked, 'well, I guess ya're right in some kinda way...' He embraced his daughter slowly and fiercely. 'Things have been quite relaxed here. Old man is being like always, Die and Masashi are still fun guys... You should still get a boyfriend and Lucine's pretty as ever.' He laughed a bit and then let go of Marina and took another sip of his coffee, then said, 'want something to drink? How've ya been, by the way?'

(Was that all?)

'Dead?' Taiji asked, 'well, I guess ya're right in some kinda way...' He embraced his daughter slowly and fiercely. 'Things have been quite relaxed here. Old man is being like always, Die and Masashi are still fun guys... You should still get a boyfriend and Lucine's pretty as ever.' He laughed a bit and then let go of Marina and took another sip of his coffee, then said, 'want something to drink? How've ya been, by the way"

Marina shook her head no "No thank you father". She looked out the window "A boyfriend hm, father don't tell me you have arranged something". She began to pace back and forth, and smiled "I do not wish for an aranged marriage, but if it is your will father, and will better the clan, then i will try"She sat back down beside him and lloked to him to answer.

[Yomi Aino]

'I haven't arranged a thing!' Taiji said with a laugh, 'not yet, that's...' He stood up and walked over to the window, 'but, love, I'm sure ya'll make a good wife. Oh, how was yer trip, by the way? Tell me a bit 'bout it, I'm curious.' And he took another sip of his drink before adding, 'have ya already brought yer stuff back to yer room?

[Well, there are no Japanese people around, as far as I know, so we won't be scrolled ]

The child sighed as she watched her brother rush upstairs. For some reason, he always said that and came back after an hour or two. It was more or less a tradition of his to be late somehow. Imagine her surprise when he appeared out of the blue only a few minutes after all set to go with everything that was needed. Rather than being glad, it only told the girl that something else was begin forgotten, perhaps more important, yet she gave it no thought as a pair of mittens was thrown to her. Putting them on quickly, she then took the coat handed to her and shoved it on. It was rather long, yet it still possessed that vile smell, the one Haze disliked the most. The scent of war. Be it for ceremonies or for the battlefield, all clothing involved in such events connected to war smelled the same. The despicable odor of sorrow and death that would remind the soldier why he was in the place he was standing was embedded within the treads that locked together. The girl did not have a personal distaste of the smell, she could stand pretty much anything that hit her nose, but what she found unpleasing was the fact that it was a reminder of the harsh times her sibling had to go through and the pain he had to feel. If possible, she wanted to erase all the memories that could make Daisuke suffer or to at least help him when needed, but he shuck off and changed the subject whenever more description was needed on it. Deciding that if she did not speak of the war she could not remember, perhaps he would forget eventually as well. Putting the buttons through the holes neatly in place, Haze smiled.
"Should we hit the first person we see outside?" she asked.

[I'll post for Lisitsa tomorrow, because I'm tired v.v" I'll have her running trough the forest while pulling Ema]
