Nabil had been patiently waiting for the new waitress to approach. In her hands was of course a foreign platter, an array of food that he hadn’t ordered but would surely take. A devious frown formed on his lips as Marxo explained him to a tee. It was quite ugly to deny him his food and was one of the quickest way to piss him off. He had once burned down an entire restaurant just for that same reason.
Now that I look back on that, I sorta regret it. They had some damn good casserole.
As the plates were placed on the shabby table, Nabil dug in unrestrained. His mouth full, he wholly ignored the obnoxious elven women. Though her words had gotten into his head, he had decided her offer was … uninspiring. Yea, that was the word he was thinking about. Once Marxo expressed some form of interest in her proposal, he glanced up at the man from his meal.
He wouldn’t attempt to stop him if he wished to join her. But at the same time, it would be saddening to lose someone he trusted. Friends like those were hard to come by.
Just after Marxo’s own question, Nabil sat back in his chair, laid an arm on the table, and stared at the woman with dead-pan eyes. “You’re not worth it. The trouble that is. Fighting you would only cause me to be sore in the morning. And you bed-ridden. I suggest you use your words and not your fist, girly. Showing off is no way to earn respect.”
Nabil leaned back in his chair and shrugged his shoulders at Marxo’s question. He had noticed them when they walked in but honestly hadn't cared enough to measure them up. Odd? he pondered. Were they odd because they were a fishman and a woman with pointed-ears? No, it was for sure the dangerous air they let off. The two of them were veterans of the sea. And it simply showed itself around them.
Hot air whirled from the ceiling fan above. The shack was filled with so many vagrants that their sweat, heat, had literally saturated the air. Nabil sighed with irritation next, his hand raising to rub his next in sync with the woman’s actions.
“Shit, they’ll be more trouble than they’re worth. That’s for damn sure,” he said indifferent, blinking while the table had slammed into the roof.
Behind him the woman barked her challenge to the dumb oafs around Marxo and himself. When they felt the need to answer, the first was sent flying with a jaw-cracking blow. Nabil looked towards the fearful waitress in the dark corner, hiding from the chaos. The dirty scum occupying the shack charged forth to fight the obnoxious woman from before. He caught the maid attention with a small gesture before waving her over. Beckoning her to continue her duties admist the fight.
She shook her head in defiance.
“Damned woman is too scared to delivered our food.”
Shuichi lacks any goals as a martial artists. Unlike his twin, he was never good at fighting, usually deterring his opponents with bribes or favors. As a person, he finds anything and everything lacking. The goals that he does have seems to be geared towards being the best in whatever he does.
Shuichi seems meek and to himself in the beginning. An avid reader of books, he can be seen carrying them around as he walks or sleeping with one over his face. He has a hard time making, accepting, or even acknowledging friends. Due to this, many consider him to be a loner. That, coupled with his lack of fighting experience has drawn undue attention him from the bullies. He has, on occasion, shown his latent martial abilities. The ability to predict, to a meager degree what someone will throw at him.
Likewise, females stray from him. Not that he is unattractive, maybe he is to some, but it mostly because of the lackluster gaze in his black eyes. Already piercing and steely, they often stab the targets in his path. Shuichi has yet to show interest in most females but has shown attraction to a few busty models or actresses. The loyalty that he has towards his brother: Kouhei is never-ending and rather complex.
