Luli nodded her head quickly to indicate around her were some jars of honey and an assortment of tea bags organized by country origin. Green tea was located next to the chai tea, which Luli loathed herself. "There are some cups and a hot water down the table line. Please help yourself. The cost of one cup is 7 yuan." She attempted to speak politely as possible, something that could be hard for Luli at times.
Before Luli could respond Bo actually spoke up this time. "Mr. Brandt has not stated whether he shall return or not. He just told Luli and me that he wanted us to go to see how we do on our own." He looked down for a moment, unsure if he should really inquire that much himself. Luckily Luli spoke up for him.
"Why what happened?" She asked almost accusingly. Luli cared deeply for their boss, he was a great and kind man. Sure he loved to flirt with them and every other attractive person, but he was still a good guy.
((Just in case you didn't know, a yuan is Chinese currency I believe. 1 American dollar equals about 7 yuan. Since this school is in China (I think) I would use that currency ^^ ))

{{Oh thanks! No, I didn't know that. I honestly just thought of American dollars when I thought of money at Bai Ching. Der on my part! lol!! Thanks for finding the right currency! biggrin }}
Ever's eyes widened when she heard the price of the tea. That was pretty cheap for a drink. That was nice. She was surprised that she had to make it herself, though. She thought that coffee shops made the drinks themselves. At least, that's what her mothers told her. Maybe this was why the tea was so much cheaper, because the customer had to make their own drinks.
Ever handed 7 yuan to Luli and grabbed a cup for the tea. She had made sure to bring money with her today. She set about making her tea but also responded to Luli's question and Bo's statement.
"Well, there are some interesting creatures we have here in the forest, and I think some of them scared him off. You have to get used to certain things here. I hope he comes back. He shouldn't let a few creatures chase him off."
She made sure to smile at Bo for being confident enough to respond to the question she had asked. "Thank you for letting me know."

Trent opened his darkened eyes and yawned, the leaves that covered him shook and rattled as the dew of the morning gently rolled off him onto the earth. "Damn I never disguised myself before going to bed ... simple fix." With a sigh The leaves that covered his head were replaced by Hair, on his shoulder was replaced with cloth robes, and the bark disappeared into a (semi) normal looking human.

Bo couldn't help but c**k his head to the side. "Mr. Brandt ran away? I always thought he was a strong tough guy, being that Demigod and all..." He then spoke aloud before even realizing it. "But what reason could a Demigod like Musica have to fear average magical creatures?" He covered his mouth quickly then turned around, knowing anyone around could have heard him.
Luli's eyes widened. "Don't tell me..." She walked over to Bo and jabbed him in the side. "What are you doing giving that away? You know Mr. Brandt doesn't want that to be let out! He doesn't want anyone that might recognize him to do so!" She loudly whispered in his ear. Anyone around Luli could hear her as well, because her whispers were nothing more than a soft shout. The girls around the counter began to chatter, already deciding what they would tell their friends. Words like "He's a what? and "A demigod no way!" Could be heard around the cafeteria.
"Oh..."
"...s**t"

{{Sorry for the slow response. I'm posting in 2 other stories, too, and I went to make a milkshake! biggrin }}
Ever shook her head and chuckled. "Don't worry. I already knew what he was. Found that out yesterday, though I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with how well I kept my surprise from showing. I didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable."
She had finally finished making her tea and she put a lid on it. "And don't worry about everyone else. It was bound to come out eventually, anyway, about Musica's roots. You guys have nothing to feel guilty about."
She looked at Bo for a few moments, trying to urge him not to feel guilty. It would just cause him to close off again, and maybe this would be one place that he could finally open up. Bai Ching seemed to have that special quality about it.

Bo remained standing off to the side, not speaking a word. He didn't want to get into any more trouble or his sister either. He'd never known Musica to get angry, but he never wanted to see what he looked like when he was. He was too used to a nice Musica, and seeing him angry would ruin the way he thought about him forever.
Luli still couldn't lose the nervous look off her face, knowing that Mr. Brandt had trusted them with this job and within twenty minutes they'd given away his secret. "But not the entire secret, so I suppose we're fine." She let out a great sigh of relief and then looked up at Miss Ever, whom she couldn't understand why she knew so much about their boss. "You still say though that he ran away from some forest creatures. That's impossible, Mr. Brandt isn't intimidated by anything. No, there has to be something more to it. It looks like he did a good job of convincing you people that's what the reason was though." She spoke confidently as she put her hands on her hips, almost proud of the man they'd worked under for about three or four years.

Ever arched an eyebrow at the young girl and almost scowled. She was upset with her for intimidating her own brother back into silence, and she was angry at what she was implying, like students at Bai Ching were some mindless idiots who could be easily duped.
Ever set down her tea, having sipped at it a little bit already, and stared straight at Luli. "We're not as easily mislead here, Miss Luli, as you would like to think. We're not stupid. Far from it, actually."
She tilted her head to the side and smirked darkly. "And I never said anything about a group of us seeing Musica being run off by some of the forest creatures. I only ever said that I saw him. Now to me, it seems as if you know more than you're letting on, even to your own brother."

Luli shot daggers from her eyes at Ever, but then she told herself she needed to calm down. If she did anything to screw this up she didn't know how she could go back to Musica and explain herself. Sure he wouldn't be mad, but that itself was the problem. He would just shrug it off and make no big deal, when all Luli can think is how much she deserves his anger. She saw the hinting in her voice that Ever wanted to know more, but like she was going to let more out. And did she just accuse her of keeping secrets from her brother? This made her almost get more angry, but her brother's hand on her shoulder kept her calm. "Well of course I know more, but I'm not about to let any more beans be spilled here today. Nu uh, no way."
Bo may have liked this nice girl named Ever, but never did he like anyone antagonizing his sister. His short 5'4 height stood a little bit taller over his sister's 5'0, but he was still shorter than most people around him. That didn't stop him from standing up straight and tall, his eyes now exuding more confident appearance. The only time he got this way was when his sister was involved. "We keep nothing from one another Miss Evermore." His statement was short and sweet, like most anything he said ever is.

Ever sighed and rolled her eyes. "Look, Bo, I didn't start this. Your sister insulted my school, my friends, and I have every right to defend it. I'm sure this is the first time your sister has been here, and she's already thinking we're a bunch of mindless idiots that can be easily manipulated. If anyone needs to be taken down a level here, it's your sister."
Ever then looked at Luli and her eyes flashed red just for a second. No one else would have noticed because it was over so quickly. "And you better watch who you insult, Miss Luli. This school holds more secrets than you will ever know, and some students are a lot more than what they seem."
Ever raised her tea raised back to her lips so that she could sip some more and she kept her steady gaze on Luli for just a few moments more, boring into her. Then, she turned and began walking toward the doors that led out of the cafeteria.

Bo frowned, he knew Luli hadn't insulted the school. She said that because she was worried about Musica, and didn't want this woman to see it. What she said was true, there's nothing he'd ever run from. Unless his past was involved there was nothing that scared him. And he knew that's what worried Luli the most. Half tempted to say something to Ever about it he changed his mind, not wanting to be more involved in things than necessary.
Luli just shook her head as the girl walked away. "Females...one of the several reasons I couldn't have lasted in this school. They're just too defensive!" Luli didn't care that she could be accused of being that way as well, all she knew was that these people were involved in scaring Musica away from here. And she knew too well this all had something to do with Nikolaus. She picked up one of the chocolates that was on the counter and popped it into her mouth to thoughtfully chew. She really hoped he wouldn't make them come back again. "Maybe he'll come with us tomorrow." She silently hoped to herself.

{{Awesome posting, Albtraum! biggrin }}
Ever sighed as she walked out of the cafeteria doors and then began heading upstairs. It seemed like it took hours to finally reach the 3rd floor. Finally, she was at her meditation spot by the big window.
Ever took off her school bag, set it against the wall, and began to stretch.

{{I have no clue. I try to talk with people and most of them just either ignore me or give me the runaround. So I don't even try to ask anymore. I'm beginning to think that in my own guild, I should just start banning people who don't post for a long time, or even come on Gaia anymore. Look at Mitsuki. She's got all these stories under her belt, but she's finally starting to post a lot in all of them. That's really cool. Other people who only have a few stories can't move their asses in gear enough to even respond to me, like I'm some lowlife who they can ignore. *sigh*}}
{{Sorry for the rant. Just getting reaaaaally pissed off with some people and I'm about to take a very long break from Gaia. Or at least some stories.}}

Trent had left the confines of the greenhouse and once again set out across campus. The White hood of his robes hung loosely over his head while the robe itself lightly grazed stone of the walkways.
No one was looking at him like they had been the past few days, and he seemed to blend in with any random visitors not in uniform. This was mostly due to the fact the robes he wore were unisex and His hair had grown down to where the leaves stopped the previous night. At the moment he could have probably been mistaken for a student out of uniform.
(just throw posts out to stay interested, I know I hit the same curve where it seemed no one wanted me in any Rp (even ones outside of gaia) But I just kept posting ) confused

(( sad That's okay, I'm always happy to listen to someone when their upset. I do it all the time to others ^^ And I understand if you decide to, I get frustrated sometimes when people don't post as frequently as me. I mean I know I pretty much stay on non stop if possible, but I end forgetting and getting impatient. And with I must bid you adieu, for I am quite sleepy. Good night!))
