[b]Cyrus Mitchell - Courtyard of Saint Valerius[/b] Cyrus let out a frustrated groan at Jon's words. [i]Don't worry about it.[/i] [b]"I'm sure that someone who wants to attack me will do it in broad daylight, in the middle of a heavily guarded school."[/b] He said, sarcasm dripping from his mouth. [b]"Really, Cyrus, it's like you don't like having fun."[/b] [i]I'm going to kill him...[/i] Her eyes shot open as his hands came to her face, she half expected him to kiss her which sent her heart racing. It wasn't that she liked him or anything... Definitely not. She was just... shocked. Definitely shocked. [b]"I'd weawy appwecaithe ith ith you'd thop."[/b][[i]I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop.[/i]] Cyrus said through Jon pushing on her lips, her cheeks growing red. This was what she hated... He was so oblivious, as if he didn't have a care in the world. She found it rather irritating that one could be so careless. She'd much rather have a Noble like Ken who knew better. Jon thought he was invincible and Cyrus swore that if it didn't kill him, she would. She pulled away sharply, a scowl on her face. [b]"Knights and Nobles shouldn't be so familiar with each other."[/b] She told him curtly, turning her head away. As she did so, she noticed Ken and Nolan walking their way. Why had she even left them in the first place? To get irritated by Jon? She should just let him get his just desserts. He deserved it after all... --- [b]Nolan - On Way To Courtyard of Saint Valerius[/b] [b]"Time is always up."[/b] Nolan gave her poor friend a soft smile as if to apologize. She felt so bad for him... for the both of them. How badly she just wanted to tell him to sit back down... That it was okay if he wanted to go another round but... She let out an almost inaudible slow sigh, her heart aching. When her eyes finally went back to Ken, she let out a loud snort of laughter at his face. [i]What a child![/i] [b]"I should see if Jonathan wants to come with us, the icecream parlor is going to be adding SIX new flavors sometime next week. Cyrus too, obviously. Maybe he will crack a smile this time, I felt a bit bad for having just dragged him along for me to go talk with people... But those kids really did like that icecream I got them."[/b] Nolan couldn't wipe the smile off of her face as he said this. It was as if he knew her heartache and how to cure it. The bastard. She didn't need anymore reason to fall for him. He needed to stop being so damned adorable. Especially since she knew the moment he got off of the train, a dramatic change would occur. She always hated that... Still, he'd already made her feel better. She just wished she could do the same for him. Maybe she'd steal him away tonight and they could watch the stars together like when they were kids. He'd always seemed to like that. A small noise came out of Nolan's mouth as she agreed with him, a soft, warm smile plastered on her face. [b]"I don't think Cyrus would have a good time anywhere we took him. The poor guy's such a... stiff."[/b] She explained as she stood. The smile faded as she noticed Ken's face, his determination as he quickly turned and got off the train. With wide eyes, Nolan quickly followed. [b]"You shouldn't do that! It's a bad habit. [i]Always[/i] let me go first. I'd rather I see the bullet or gun first rather than the back of your head as you fall back onto me from some attack."[/b] She told him, her voice firm. [b] "I must apologize to Jonathan and Cyrus. Not only did I leave Cyrus alone to the point he managed to leave before us, we are also a bit late because I was talking needlessly. But I feel there is a lot of tension between them, something I am not sure if I can help remedy or not." [/b] He told her, turning to face her for the moment before walking off. As if he hadn't even heard her. She let out a bit of a frustrated groan and followed, trying to keep up with his pace. As she walked next to him, her eyes were set on their surroundings, on alert now. She didn't honestly believe anyone would be after Ken but it was a good habit to form. She'd hate to be lost in her thoughts when someone decided to attack him. There were a group of girls just a few feet away from the gate, walking towards the school. She gave them a nod of her head and then attempted to go inside before Ken, only to get right beside him. [i]Damn his pace... He knows I can't keep up.[/i] As they entered, she noticed Cyrus and Jon, both in the open area between the school at it's walls. Putting on a soft but reserved smile, Nolan waved at Cyrus who seemed to notice them. [b]"Glad to see you made it back okay."[/b] Nolan greeted them as she and Ken walked up.
