[IC] The Gleam of SLVR

[Demous]

Sayuri pulls Rosalia's hat back down over her ear and directs her into the crowd, "Some kind of fight from the looks of it. I reacted like thar cause I saw someone I know and want to avoid for now," she curses as she hears the mention of her last name from the center of the crowd, 'Apparently someone here has something against my dad,' a little after exiting the crowd she hears angry voices behind her then an indignant shout. She sighs, "Hey could you find a small secluded area without students with your senses?"

----------------

Viola stopped and scanned the crowd for the blood red hair she knew so well. She seethed when she saw her making her way through the crowd, How dare she! She noticed me and ran away! The nerve of her!!' She stormed through the group pushing anyone in front of her out of the way. As she passes through the center she shoves her way between the two guys without so much as a passing glance. One of them scrambled to get away. The rest got out of her way as she walked through the other side of the crowd. She notices Sayuri's pushing another confused looking girl along with her which for some reason just made her angrier.

[Demon Shinobi]

Lennox watched with slight amusement as the guy scrambled away having been saved when the girl pushed between them. It wasn't like he cared. Thus he would move on. "Right. I'm..." He paused for a moment. He'd just realized. The red head. That girl who'd helped him earlier. There was another girl seeming to be following her. A small chance to help her out maybe. He chuckled as he walked towards the girl who looked pretty angry. "Um... Excuse me miss. Is this yours?" He asked as he held up a scroll purposefully getting in front of her. He'd swiped it from her. "I found it lying on the floor after you inadvertently ended a fight." He lied to buy the red head time as he glanced back.

---------------------------------

"With my wha? S-sayuri that's... That's..." Rosalia's ears dropped in defeat under her hat. "You know... Don't you..." She sighed at her own inability to keep the secret before grabbing Sayuri's hand. She sniffed at the air a bit before turning. "This way!" She said calmly. "Let's go while that guy has her busy." Based on the situation she saw regarding Lennox and Viola, the girl was who Sayuri was trying to escape. Meanwhile, she was moving quick to get out of sight and into a secluded area.

((Pick a place and say Rosalia got them there. XD))

[Demous]

Viola stopped when the other guy she'd pushed out of the way stepped in front of her. Looking at the Scroll in his hand her eyes widened in shock then narrowed into a furious glare. Snatching the scroll she spoke with unbridled anger, "Don't you ever take my scroll again! It's too important for some ass like you to take. It's irreplacable! If anyone takes it again I will make damn sure they regret it. Now if you excuse me I need to go talk to the girl you so rudely kept me from talking to," she steps around him and continues.

----------------

Sayuri allowed herself to be lead into a small garden with a pair of benches sitting on opposite sides. Sighing she sits on one of benches and presses her palms into her eyes, "Ugh, this is more eventful than I wanted today to be... And I certainly didn't expect her to be here," she sighs and lays on the bench, "I though she was going to Haven... Oh sorry about the sudden Faunus thing. I'd noticed earlier but didn't say anything. I was keeping it as... insurance. Your ears are cute by the way."

[Demon Shinobi]

Lennox sucked his teeth rather annoyed by the girl's words. "You know, how about a little gratitude. I could very well have kept the damn thing. Or maybe I could have smashed it." He said as he grabbed her by the collar of her shirt and yanked her back. "Count yourself lucky that I was kind enough to do such a thing as give it back you spoiled rich brat." He said before letting go and turning to leave her be. He said what he had to say and held her up a bit longer. That should have been fine.

------------------------------------------------------------

Rosalia sat beside Sayuri panting a bit as she took off her hat. It felt so much better not to have them hidden. Though she wasn't sure she was ready for anyone else to see. "I... I know what you mean..." Rosalia said as she began to tug lightly on the color of her own shirt causing a bit of a breeze and fanning herself. "And... Don't worry... I would rather not keep secrets from a friend. Though I am unsure of what you mean by insur..." She stopped. Her face was bright red. "M-m-m-my ears aren't c-c-c-cute." She said flushed with embarrassment as she pulled her hat back over her ears, forgetting for a moment the discomfort she'd been feeling over the hidden bushy wolf tail she had. Wrapped in bandages to be made small and concealed in her clothing. All the while thinking Cute?! Are they cute?! MY ears?! I... I don't know what to say! as she shied away slightly.

[Demous]

Sayuri burst out laughing at Rosalia's reaction, "Oh man, that is adorable! Look the wolf is embarrased," sitting up she pats Rosalia's head. Her fades a little afterwards, "Basically what I meant was you keep my secret I keep yours. It's not personal just something I had to learn," she lays back dow and looks up at the sky.

----------------

Viola continues to glare at the student as he yells at her. As he walks away she sighs and grabs his shoulder, "Hey hold on a sec. I am grateful for giving it back but I wasn't kidding. This scroll is the most important item I own," her eyes narrow again, "The warning stands though," she turns and walks off in the direction she'd lost Sayuri, "Now where did she go..."

[Demon Shinobi]

"Hmmmmm..." Rosalia held her eyes shut when Sayuri teased her. Her cheeks puffed up and her face looked bright red. "Shush." She finally mumbled before Sayuri changed to answer her inquiry. "Oh..." She might have lectured Sayuri on trust, but honestly they had just met today. She was completely right in her caution. "I understand. Now... What should we do now? Won't you two end up meeting in the ballroom anyway?" She asked now that the thought occurred to her.

--------------------------------------

Lennox scoffed and chuckled. "Right. Grateful. I'm so sure." He mocked her a bit with nary a shred of belief in his voice. The young man didn't even look back to acknowledge her. He didn't think she really knew what being grateful was based on her attitude.

[Demous]

Sayuri frowns slightly at Rosalia's reaction, "It's not because of a lack of trust. I actually trust you to keep my secret. Problem is trust doesn't keep people from talking," she pulls out her scroll and starts looking through it, "I know. I actually do need to meet with her. Preferably before then. I just wasn't expecting to see her and need to organize my thoughts first before talking to her," she smiles finding a particular picture. Rosalia would be unable to see it due the black back, "So what do you think we should do first?"

----------------

Viola's anger was quickly coming back, "Oh, so you're one of those assholes who think just because I'm rich my life is perfect? Well get a damn raincheck! My life might actually have some issues I can guarantee you'll never have to deal with anytime soon," she spins him around to look him in the eye, "And while I may not have trouble with money it doesn't make my life perfect! There are things money can't buy. Nothing I really want can be bought."

[Demon Shinobi]

"Hm? Well that all makes sense I suppose." Rosalia admitted calmly without much fuss. It was simple to understand and she didn't feel she had any reason to question Sayuri. As for meeting the girl it was only natural to be shocked right? Still now came the question of what to do. "Maybe we can go get something to eat." She hadn't eaten much since breakfast. So she was rather hungry. "What do you think? Food?"

-----------------------------------------

Lennox chuckled a bit at her reaction. "Actually I'm one of those assholes who judges based on what I see. Maybe if you don't want to be seen as a spoiled rich brat, you shouldn't act like that. He said calmly, his face growing a bit more serious. He poked her forehead. It was kind of rude, but it was obvious he didn't mean any ill will aside from treating her a bit childishly. "And newsflash. Everyone has problems, princess. All we can do is work through them and make the things we truly want ours. Now can I go? Or is there more you want to talk about?"

[Demous]

"Food actually sounds pretty good. Let's get our scrolls registered after that cause I don't wanna be rushing around. Oh one thing first," Sayuri looks at Rosalia over her scroll eyes glinting and a highly amused smile hidden behind it, "Keep in mind if you want fresh meat you'll have to catch it yourself."

----------------

Viola gave him a light glare, "Ya well what I the most is impossible right now. And may never be," she sighs and waves him off. She turns and walks off in the direction Sayuri went, "Hmm... Now where did she go..."

[Demon Shinobi]

Rosalia's cheeks puffed up as she pouted while glaring at Sayuri. "I'm beginning to think I shouldn't have helped you get away." She didn't mean that of course. And even if she were actually mad she looked more cute than anything.

----------------

Lennox shook his head. It seemed like she didn't get much of what he said at all. Maybe it went over her head. Like he'd said. He wasn't judging based one what he assumed she head or who she was in name. He was judging based on her current bratty attitude. Which was very... Very evident. "I'm hungry." He said to himself calmly as he began heading for the nearest source of food. The cafeteria.

[Demous]

Sayuri doubled over with laughter putting her scroll away. Straitening up she wipes away a tear, "Oh man, You are the most adorable person I have ever met! And you don't mean that," she smirks, "I'm the coolest person you've ever met," She starts walking out of the garden back the way they'd come. Looking back she smirks again even bigger, "Are you coming or am I gonna need to get a leash?" her eyes were bright with humor no ill intent visible.

[Demon Shinobi]

"Sh-shut up!" Rosalia squeezed her eyes shut as she got up and began walking, immediately passing Sayuri. She nearly made the mistake of threatening to bite her friend, but stopped herself. She wouldn't give the girl anymore ammo for teasing. He face was deep red. This was gonna be embarrassing.

A little while later...

"To make up for all the teasing you're buying me food." Rosalia huffed as she entered the cafeteria with Sayuri. The whole walk, Sayuri had one joke or another to say. And even then, it only served to either make Rosalia blush, or make the cute mad face she made. But now she would get even. She could eat a lot. "Got it?"

----------------------------------------------

Lennox was in the cafeteria already. He was sitting down alone at a table. He didn't know anybody. Nobody knew him. It seemed there were already some clicks made. Obviously he wasn't the only one to have the idea to come to the cafeteria. But for it to be almost full? That was unexpected. "Geez. Wasn't expecting so many people to be here." He said before noticing Sayuri and Rosalia. "Oh. It's them again. Wonder if they really got away from the bratty chick." He said calmly as he returned to his meal.

[Demous]

Sayuri raised her hands and gasped in mock horror, "Oh no! I have to pay for you too? How will I ever survive!" she smirked before continuing, "Whatever. Order whatever you want and as much as you want. I'm not going to buy much," she smiles internally, 'I was gonna offer to buy anyways so this makes things easier.'

After getting and paying for their food she looks around and notices most of the tables are full. She notices the guy she'd helped earlier was at pretty much the only table with enough room so she walked over and sat down, "Mind if we sit here?"

[Demon Shinobi]

Rosalia attmpted a small glare, but the cuteness factor was too high. "Fine." She chuckled before beginning to go over the menu. "This... This... Some of this. That looks good. Lets get some of this." She was taking what she could and piling it up, while order what wasn't readily available on display. "Unluckily for you, I am VERY hungry." She emphasized very before continuing. Soon though they were on their way to the table with her relatively huge pile of grub.

"Hm?" Lennox looked up from his food. "Oh hey it's you." He chuckled lightly. "Go ahead. Have yourself a seat." He said calmly as he motioned to the empty chairs. "I mean it is a free world after all." He paused. "For most anyway."

[Demous]

Sayuri shrugs at Lennox's comment, "Yes well a number of them deserve it," she takes a bite of her burger and opens her scroll. She scolls through pages absent mindedly before finding one that caught her attention starting the video attached she sets her scroll down. A young reporters voice speaks, "Yesterday a Takashi Corperation warehouse was raided by the Dark Fang. Unfortunately that wass all the detail we were able to get. Neither the Takashi Corperation has refused to release any details on the subject. The police are also not releasing any details on the matter. In other related news the state of the Takashi family has come into question due to the fact that none of the 3 children have been seen-" snorting in disgust she stops the video and closes and closes the page, "Those absolute idiots. What were those Fuanas thinking?"

[Demon Shinobi]

"W-we don't know exactly why they did that... Or if it was even really the Dark Fang." Rosalia spoke a bit more nervously, as she glanced at Sayuri. She gulped. Hopefully the red head wouldn't be too upset. She must have understood what the wolf girl meant. "B-besides... You say that like all Faunus were backing them or like it was a unanimous decision on the part of the entire race to do something." She added as she took another bit of her food, from the pile which had significantly shrunken in the short period of time.

"Well if you ask me, whatever those Dark Fang guys did, they should get a reward. That Takashi guy needs to go down a peg." Lennox chimed in calmly. "Nothing against the kids of course. I'm sure they could learn to live without daddy's money. But daddy needs to be put down." He added matter of factly.

[Demous]

Sayuri sighs looking off into the distance, "I said Dark Fang, not White Fang. Two very different groups. The White Fang is 'fighting for Fuanas rights' or so they say. The Dark Fang on the other hand is a much different group. They are a highly criminal orginization made up entirely of Fuanas, she looks over at Lennox, "And no they shouldn't. Not by a long shot. All that dust is going to be used by numerous crimes that will get innocent people involved. Or sold to an even worse group. Oh that and they're now targets for him," a dark look passes over her face so quickly most people woould think they'd imagined it, "Can we change subjects? I'm not exactly a fan of either topic."

[Demon Shinobi]

"W-well the fact still remains that we don't know too much about all of either group." Rosalia responded. "But... But I suppose you would know more than I do." She chuckled slightly before returning to her meal.

I gotta agree with the quiet chick. I mean. You know. Information is key. Since I don't got the info I won't be making a decision. He paused for a moment almost as if to think. [color=blue]"Nah. Wait. I can make a decision on Takashi." He scoffed. "If I could I'd take him down myself."

"R-really? Why?" Rosalia chimed again.

Lennox looked away. "Not important." He sighed. "Anyway. Change of subject. Hmmm..." He chuckled and shrugged. "Might as well start with a name." He said calmly. "I'm Lennox. Lennox Scorch."

"I... I'm Rosalia Crux." She said calmly as they both looked at Sayuri.

[Demous]

"Sayuri Mujona. Born and raised in Vacuo. I met Rosalia," she reaches out a hand and pats her head, "On the airship from Vacuo to Vale and started talking. Neither of us know anyone else shes been," she casts a sidelong glance at Rosalia that said this was the last one, "Following me like a puppy."

Picking up her scroll she looks through her contacts, 'Hmm... Now seems kinda like a good time to talk to Vi...'

[Demon Shinobi]

Rosalia's eyes narrowed at Sayuri as she felt her ears twitch a bit under her hat. "I have not been." She said quickly.

"Relax relax." Lennox laughed a little. "Nobody's Judging."

Rosalia sighed and nodded. Sayuri wasn't gonna quit with the teasing. Rosalia could tell. "S-still... I've helped her out too. I'm not a puppy." Rosalia huffed. "A-and even if she's teasing, she's been doing it a lot. It just... Reminds me..." Rosalia stopped when Lennox put his hand up.

"Nah. I can tell she doesn't mean anything by it. Just one cute friend teasing another." He put his hand down. "Trust me. I've got a good eye for things like this. I mean... I've spent most of my life living alone on the streets. People. Especially rich people like some of the students around here, aren't very kind to guys and girls like me either. Never really were to be honest." He chuckled slightly in response. "Still, we are who we chose to be. Not what those around wish to see." He laughed a little. "Rhyme. My dad used to do that every once in a while. You know. Rhyme something out at serious times." He smiled.
