[center] - Maria - [/center] She smirked, watching the scene unfold. Honestly, the poor guy. That Ryuu kid never got a break. She chuckled to herself with a soft smile and turned to sit by herself, simply watching. She would have sat with someone, but for some reason she suddenly felt like being alone. The game would finish soon and then she'd fly back to the school and check on things, return to her room to sleep. She tried to keep a bright smile on her face, but if one knew her well enough, as Brako did, they'd know it was fake. She was thinking about him again, drifting away to a far away land. She wasn't even aware of what was going on anymore, merely a blank shell of a woman. Still, she was a lot better off than she had been before. So much so, it scared her. What if she went back to that life? Here she could at least pretend to be happy while doing something she felt was worth while. At least she wasn't wasting away in her childhood room, waiting for Daddy to need her again. --- [center] - Xanthus - [/center] His head perked up when he heard Ryuu again and noticed his friend from before Darwin as well. They had to kiss? That... was unfortunate. A small smile appeared on Xanthus' face and a brow lifted. A face that almost read, 'Man, I feel sorry for that guy. Glad I'm not him.' But really. Xanthus was glad he, so far, hadn't been called for anything. He didn't really want to be called out to the spotlight right this moment. He needed this to end so that he could go talk to Lily. Time was ticking by... --- [center] - Lily - [/center] She smiled at Carmen. [b]"I'm looking forward to it."[/b] She replied, smiling to herself. She turned and looked down at the table, almost too happy for words. She didn't really even care about what was going on at this moment. Well, until she heard something start. She looked up to see Ryuu and Darwin in an awkward position. [i]That's... interesting.[/i] She chuckled to herself and then eyed Carmen. What would she have done if that had happened to them? Wait... Why was she thinking about that?! Suddenly, her face went red and her head was on the table, trying desperately to hide it.
