 Kyrin was glad to see that they had followed her, almost without hesitation. Once she got down the hall, Kyrin saw Izzy, with the other two girls and said a hello to her, before opening the door and walking back in. She figured that it might be a little daunting for the Tristan to see all the men that had just come in the room after Kyrin, especially because she had just been speaking to her cousin in a language that Tristan couldn’t understand. Kyrin didn’t care though, it was something she figured the other man would have to get used to. To Jaydn, Kyrin said, “I found a couple people to test our friend here.” And then to Tristan, she said, “Nori here speaks German.” She paused and said, “James is fluent in French. And Ian in Spanish. I want you to say something to each of them in respect to the language they know.” Kyrin moved from the door to stand off to the side. She wanted the test to be short, simply wanting those fluent to listen to what Tristan said and confirm to her that he could in fact speak the language.

 Fiore felt the company of another person next ot her. Why would this person be different from the others? She didn't make eye contact and continued to study the details on the wall. She learned this girl's name was Lily, and she took a quick glance at her. She was a rather scrawny girl, but even so, they were about the same height, but perhaps Fiore was a bit shorter, but she didn't have enough of a glimpse to catch that. It was only normal though, Fiore had to small in order to get past some complex security devices that required a small, agile, and flexible body, and to gain that, Fiore had had her whole life of training. She looked back to the wall and let out her name.
"Fiore."
But then something filled her ears that surprised her in an almost negative way. But only negative that she had not been prepared for it. Izzy's loud 'Hello!' echoed through her ears as though it would never go away. Fiore felt her face get hot again, and nerves took control again. She hadn't been social for so long, how could she be ready for this, the girl who she had watched so keenly from afar.
"I-I-Izzy!!"
She forced a smile, but inside she cringed. Why am I stuttering...I probably sound so stupid!
Fiore took a deep breath again. She looked up at Izzy, making eye contact this time, even with her blind eye. She stood up a bit. She scratched behind her head.
"Wow, has it been that long? You've grown so much."
Fiore looked at her, and couldn't help but notice how pretty Izzy looked in a dress, it almost made her a bit envious. Her face grew warmer.

Lily nodded when Fiore said her name and then began playing with five small plastic containers that had sand in them for weight. She played with them like jumping jacks and waited for the girl Fiore to speak first. Silence passed between them then a loud hello made her miss all of the "jacks" as she jumped about two inches in startlement. Looking over to the familar cute voice she smiles when she sees it's Izzy. "Hey, Izzy! It's been a while since I've seen you. How are you? Oh, I have a gift for you."Lily spurted out quickly trying to cover her embarrassment at being startled. She took out a set of seven day rings and held it out to Izzy. She may not like it if I told her they were stolen so I'll keep my mouth closed.

Tristan waited patiently until Kyrin came back, towing along three boys. He understood their presence as the mafia leader told him the different languages they spoke. He nodded.
He turned to Nori and said, "Deinem Führer bitte erklären, dass sie mir vertrauen kann." He turned to Ian. "Por favor decir a tu líder que ella puede confiarme en." And lastly he turned to James, "Dire svp à votre chef qu'elle peut me faire confiance." All of them generally translated into, "Please tell your leader that she can trust me." His accent was better with French and Spainish, the languages he'd known the longest, but his German one was not so good.

Nori smiled at Tristan. He didn't sound fluent, but he did well, and maybe they could practice German later. Nori didn't know about if the other two understood him, but it was impressive.
" Sorry for the trouble, but it's necissary." he said appologetically back in German.
Turning to Kyrin with a smile, he nodded in approval. He figured he didn't have to say anything. If the others agreed that he was genuine, then he probably passed the test. It would be useful to have a 3 in one (or more) linguist. Although he didn't know what Tristan was all about yet, he seemed very serious at the moment. Nori looked to the others to see their reactions.

Ian looked at Tristan. "Muy bueno Usted. Yo pienso que usted pasa en este idioma. Lo siento para todos. Pero este es la mafia. Usted comprende." Which translated into something like, "Very good. You pass in this language. I'm sorry for everything. But this is the mafia. You understand." Ian nodded to Kyrin in a approval. Well, he was cute and apparently he could speak pretty good Spanish. Ian definitely approved of him. He wasn't sure if Kyrin would but he hoped so. He guessed by Nori's reaction that Tristan had passed German as well. Well that was two down, now it was Jamie's turn, and knowing him, he'd already start flirting with the poor boy.

"Ah, comme vous voudrez, beau," Jamie smiled, almost flirtaciously. His words translated roughly to 'as you wish, beautiful.' Jamie turned to Kyrin. "Well, his French isn't bad, and he's not bad looking, and he asked me to tell you to you he can be trusted. Make of that what you will." If he was going to have to do this, he was certainly going to make it entertaining.

Kyrin was somewhat unnerved by the fact that she couldn’t understand what the others were saying when they spoke in the other languages. When Nori gave the okay, she nodded to him, to tell him that she had seen him. Kyrin acknowledged Ian as well when he gave his okay. And then she turned to James, he was the only one who actually said something to her. At the comment that Tristan wasn’t bad looking, Kyrin couldn’t disagree, though she wouldn‘t show this openly, he still had nothing on Craig in her eyes. When James said that Tristan claimed he could be trusted, Kyrin was still unsure. She now knew that he could speak the languages that he said he could; at least the ones that he was tested on anyway. She turned to Jaydn and said one last thing in Japanese, “We’ll watch him.”And that was all Kyrin could do for the moment, if the man showed any signs of betrayal, or being like his mother, Kyrin would figure a new plan for him, one a little less then generous.
Running a hand through her hair, Kyrin felt herself becoming queasy again. She tried to settle her stomach, but couldn’t figure out what would cause the feeling, she hadn’t eaten in a while, so it couldn’t be that. Looking at Tristan she said, “You are welcome to stay here for now,” She leaned close to him, and spoke her last line for only him to hear, “But if I find out something I don’t approve of, well, I’m sure I don’t have to tell you.” Kyrin moved away from him, and swayed slightly to the side, trying to settle her stomach again.

Jamie put his hand on her shoulder, with concern. "Are you alright?" He asked softly. For the moment, worrying that their leader, and his friend, may be ill was more important than petty flirting with the newcomer. And he had proved his worth, at least in Jamie's eyes, with his linguist skills. There wasn't much else could be judged until he had seen Tristan's reaction to the shameless teasing Jamie had put him through.

Ian rolled his eyes at Jamie's comment. Of course, Jamie was already flirting with the new kid, the loser. Didn't he ever get tired of being such a flirt? No wonder his relationships didn't last long. Hearing Kyrin's approval, Ian was thrilled. One, he wouldn't be the only the new member in this mafia and two, there was one more cute boy joining. Ian turned to Tristan and smiled. "Hi. I'm Ian. It's nice to meet you." He held his hand out to Tristan in a friendly hand shake. It would be good to start to get to know everyone. Starting with the newest member, Ian thought.

 When Kyrin came back into the room with three other people, Jaydn gave her a quick smirk. As much as he had wanted to pick at the other man to see how soon it would be before Tristan lost his cool, Jaydn restrained himself, thinking that perhaps Tristan deserved a fair chance. Besides, if he stays, it gives me all the more time to have some fun. No rush.
From behind Kyrin and through the door that she left open, Jaydn caught a glimpse of Lily, Fiore, and Isabella. He narrowed his eyes subtly, not the least happy that they had situated themselves so comfortably on the other side of the door. It seemed as if they had been trying to listen in on their conversation and, predisposed to not trusting Isabella, Jaydn wouldnt put it past them. Kyrin however seemed to know that they were there so Jaydn supposed it wasn't something he needed to worry himself over. It wasn't like they would have understood most of the conversation that had occured in the meeting room anyway. Realizing the number of people that had quickly accumulated in the area, Jaydn stood up straighter, brushing his bangs out of his face with his right hand, letting his eyes travel and meet briefly with everyone else's.
Not being able to comprehend a word of anything the other members of his cousin's mafia said, Jaydn simply watched Tristan as he responded, more interested in how naturally the words come from his mouth rather than what those words were or meant. That Tristan had responded so easily confirmed in Jaydn's eyes that the man was fluent in the languages of the other members. A part of Jaydn was suddenly struck with a mischievious impulse to keep Tristan from ever learning Japanese. He's got enough languages, he doesn't need mine.
Jaydn, having never really spoken to James, found himself slightly annoyed with how familiar he was with Kyrin. He didn't show the stiff respect that the others gave Kyrin, instead Jaydn sensed a careless nature about the man, completely unconcerned with the rest of the world. Jaydn was equally annoyed with how willing Ian seemed to get to know Tristan. It all seemed to happen much too fast for Jaydn's liking.
To Kyrin, Jaydn nodded minutely. Even without her saying so, Jaydn would have kept a close eye on Tristan. It didn't slip by him however how Kyrin seemed to be suddenly ill. Jaydn's eyes flickered over to Kyrin for a moment, head tilting to one side quizically. She was just fine a second ago.

At James’ words, Kyrin nodded, “Fine” And tried her best to appear like nothing was wrong. With his hand on her shoulder, Kyrin felt a little steadier, but as she stood there, trying to look alright, Kyrin felt her stomach begin to revolt. She stepped away from James, and turned to the group, “I have some things to gather so I can give the final details about the mission.” She excused herself, moving past the people between her and the door and not looking once at her cousin. He always seemed to have a knack for noticing the little things. As she made her way into the hallway, she spared a quick glance at the three girls assembled there. Unable to keep the contents of her stomach down any longer, and sure she was out of sight from those in the meeting room, Kyrin took off at a dead run for the nearest bathroom. She flung the door closed behind her, and collapsed around the toilet. Why…? She hadn’t been drinking or anything. As she threw up, Kyrin felt tears form around her eyes, Why? She wondered again. As soon as her body had settled itself, Kyrin moved away from her place and sat with her back against the wall. She reached up and pulled a small hand towel off one of the rungs that were above her head. Kyrin wiped her face, there was a very displeasing taste lingering in her mouth and she was still crying silently. Thinking herself, and her current actions to be weak, Kyrin wiped the tears from her eyes hastily.

Jamie looked after her, but made no move to follow. After all, he had yet to really meet the new one, or Kyrin's cousin, who he had seen, but never spoken to. He remained in the room, shoving his hands in his pockets and relaxing his stance some. He glanced around to the others in the room, smiling briefly at Ian, Nori, and Tristan, his three current figures of interest. He could wait for Jadyn to introduce himself, or make any move toward him. He didn't seem that entertaining anyways.

 Izzy grinned widely when Fiore smiled to her. "I've grown?" She looked towards the ground, wondering if perhaps it seemed farther then it usually did. Maybe she had gained a few centimeters in her sleep? I hope so, I want to be tall like Ky.
When Lily strung her words together, speaking almost too fast for Izzy to understand, Izzy blinked blankly a few times before registering what Lily had said. "Oh! Thank you! I'm good!" Picking up the seven day rings from Lily's hands, Izzy looked at them for a few seconds in awe then hugged them close. "They're wonderful! Thank you Lily!" She reached out and gave the girl a tight hug. Honestly, Izzy was surprised that Lily had brought her back a gift, the girl always seemed so distant. But Izzy wasnt going to complain.
Letting go of Lily, Izzy turned her light purple eyes to Fiore. Seeing the girl look at her, Izzy noticed that something was different about how Fiore was looking at her. Something, but what is it?
Before she could get a chance to ask her classmate, Kyrin walked down the hall, followed shortly by Jamie, Ian, and Nori. Izzy waved to them all as they walked by into the meeting room. Her eyes followed them, realizing that Kyrin's cousin was also in the room along with a new face. Wonder who that is?
Izzy wanted to ask either Lily or Fiore if they knew who the stranger was but it seemed that Kyrin was doing something important and Izzy didn't want her talking to distract anyone. She watched along with everyone else as Tristan spoke in different languages. Izzy felt a little sad herself hearing him speak, she knew only English, but it still seemed very exciting. Maybe he can teach me?
A little lost in thought, considering how hard it would be to learn a new language when she knew that she had a hard time learning Japanese from Kyrin and Felix, Izzy didn't notice right away that Ky had ran by her towards the bathroom. When she did though, her eyes widened in surprise, her head spinning to follow Kyrin as she wondering "Huh?" Immediately Izzy knew something was wrong with Kyrin to make her run like that. Excusing herself quickly from Fiore and Lily, Izzy scurried after her best friend, coming to the door and knocking softly, concern lacing her voice as she spoke, "Ky? Are you ok?"

Lily smiled when Izzy thanked her, but stiffened at her hug. She still wasn't use to that kind of touching so Lily tolerated, but in the end was glad when it was done. With Izzy's departure Lily picked up her jacks and began an intense game of hand, eye coordination. Lily only stopped for moment when Kyrin ran and Izzy walked passed them suddenly. With a puzzled expression she decided to wait and see what the whole private meeting was about and what she could do now. Staying in this mansion was beginning to get on her nerves and her forays back out on the street no longer hit the spot. Now, what?She thinks as she occassionally glances toward the direction that Izzy and Ky had left at.
