Zack looked up at Michael, slightly distracted and a little nervous about the sword he had with him. He reached up and grabbed the tip of his scarf and pulled on it, it unwrapped from around his neck when he did so and fell into his hand. "Nice to meet you." He replied sweetly, "I'm Zackery Daniels. Call me Zack though." He told him, he didn't like people calling him by his full name, it sounded too formal to him.

Jessie smiled, it was a little nervous looking. "Thats ok." He responded, looking at the girl called Kira, "I'm a bit of a downer myself." He said and then laughed at little. He thought so anyway, who would want to hang arpound a shy person? They were too scared to be fun so there really wasn't a point in it. 

"No, it just... threw me off." Zack replied honestly, he hadn't expected to see a sword here at all. He watched him put the weapons to the side, amazed at how gracefully he moved. He was pretty sure that he, himself, didn't nor would he ever be able to move like that. He was far too clumsy. 

He glanced up at the person that came up behind Michael. Little brother? He thought, looking at the two, Michael looked so much older than his brother! 

[fail xD] 

Kira looked over at delainey and smiled. "Yea he always wants something." Kira replied sitting on the ground. She put dion down and sprawled on the floor. "Ugh im so tired!" She said as she stretched.

Kezo glanced over at his sister and then his gaze went back to Jessie. He looks so innocent but is he really that shy? Kezo thought to himself as her kept his eyes focused on jessie.

Alex who was feeling left out walked over to the group and sat on the couch still holding the little bottle. She took a sip from the bottle and then glanced around the room. 

Akila sat down and sighed. She started mumbling some words to a song, her eyes close. Shan chuckled at his twin sister and sat next to her.

(Fail)

Michael sighed softly, running a hand through his dark hair before he went to grab his swords again and moved to an area of the lodge that had nobody in it. He pulled them from their sheathes and slid into a battle stance, closing his golden eyes as he began to move with his swords as if they were merely extensions of his arms, his movements fluid and careful.

Mordekai chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. "He's not much of a people person, but he grows on you after a while." Then his smile grew wider, his scarlet gaze falling onto the red-haired male with a slghtly louder chuckle. "Though, he already seems pretty fond of you."

Zack watched Michael walk away and wondered if he had done something to upset him. Like talking about him just a few seconds ago. Now that he thought about it, that was really rude of him and he couldn't believe he'd done it in the first place. Maybe it was being around his parents too much?

He looked back to Mordekai, "... Fond? ... Of me?" He asked, not really sure what he meant by that. could a person that doesn't like people be fond of a friendly person?  

-

Jessie took a second to glance around quickly. He didn't really have anything to talk about and he he kinda wished he hadn't come at all. He was a bit self conscious and everyone standing around having conversations made him feel left out. 

((i posted to delainey rika. and Alex is gonna be 21 actually because he is drinking))

 Kira sat and looked around the room. 

Kezo, still looking at jessie got up and took jessie's hand pulling him to delainey and his sister.

Alex was still staring at nothing

((couldnt think)) 

Mordekai nodded, smiling warmly. "He doesn't go up and talk to just anyone, you know," he told him, reaching out to lightly tousle the younger male's hair. "I'm sure he'll get used to the friendly atmosphere here. Back home he had the choice whether or not to interact with people, but here, he doesn't. His mood will lighten up a bit once he gets adjusted. Don't take anything he says personally, okay? He's just now starting to come out of his shell."

((There. <3))

Jessie's eyes widened when Kezo grabbed his hand and pulled him along. He opened his mouth to say something but shut it quickly and just went along with it quietly. 

-

Zack resisted the urge to move away from him when he ruffled his hair. did he look like a little kid? .....Yes. He did. But that didn't mean he could ruffle his hair! You must have this sudden urge to rub a child's head when you become and adult.

"Ok." He answered, referring to not letting Michael upset him. He didn't know if that was possible though, he was highly sensitive. 

((ok i didnt see it before))

Kira looked at The younger girl. "Well my brother is really crazy but he gets depressed alot like i do." She frowned. "i dont normaly get along with people because im normaly depressed about other things." She looked at her sweatshirt sleeves. She then pulled one up slightly revealing the scars. "I have tried to stop but its hard." she explained 

Mordekai noticed the younger male's reaction to him ruffling his hair and chuckled softly. "Sorry. It's a force of habt. I've always done it to Michael, so I have the habit of doing it to others younger than I am," he said, rubbing the back of his neck.

______________

Delainey blinked, tilting her head slightly. "Why not focus on the good parts of life? It makes it harder to get depressed, and then you could help cheer up those hwo are, like how the relationship between my brother and I works," she said happily, smiling warmly as she rubbed behind Dion's ear.
