Julius smiled up at their waitress, his browns eyes smiling up at her expectantly. She was very pretty and her eyes drew him in.

[b]"Ah, yes. I'll have a water and so will my companion."[/b] He told her, finally snapping back into reality. He turned to look at Cedric, to talk to him. Cedric, meanwhile, was trying to hide his angry red face.

[i]How can he look at her like that? I mean... He's never looked at anyone like that before, has he?[/i]

Cedric sighed and sent Julius an awkwardly placed smile.

[b]"You alright? I hope you don't mind water. We don't need to be drinking and you don't look like you could handle much anyway."[/b] Julius said, chuckling loudly. He meant what he said to. Cedric was far too small to drink much of anything and Julius needed the boy alert. He'd probably make a lecture out of this. [b]"You see, if you get drunk, you're senses go down, yeah? So, what if some assassin comes into our room late at night and your too drunk to realize much less fight your way out."[/b] He explained, his expression growing a bit more serious. Cedric blinked, watching him. She'd never seen her brother like this. He was always friendly and kind. She'd never seen him so... serious. 

[b]"I... I understand."[/b] Cedric told Julius, turning to look at the other people in the inn. [b]"Aren't we going to get a room?"[/b] Cedric asked, curious. She didn't much feel like sleeping on the ground, so she had to hope her brother was smart enough to bring money for rooms.

[b]"Nope! I have a tent and two bedrolls for us."[/b] He exclaimed, winking at Cedric. [b]"We need to save money, yanno? Besides, why pay for something when something else is free!"[/b] He continued, chuckling. Cedric tried his best not to show Julius his disgust. 

[i]Well, this will be interesting...[/i]

Cedric sighed and shook his head, smiling at Julius. [b]"If you say so, sir."[/b] He said, his voice much too small for a young boy. Julius sent him a glance but didn't make anything of it. He was smart, but maybe not the brightest of the bunch.
