Rather suddenly, Kibou stands up and leaves the room, his head hung low.

Kyouya watched everyone interact as he took notes on their ventures into entertainment.

Kaoru watched her, before taking the measuring cup from her hand. "Come now. Don't just stop talking. We're friends. You can talk to me about anything."

"A-ah..." Cely pulled the flour up and stopped. She gave a small smile, her eyes softening beautifully. "Thank you."
She cleared her throat, set down the flour, and took the wraps off of her hands. Her scars would show hideously, but she digressed. She hated cooking with gloves on, even fingerless ones or just gauze wraps. When she had stuffed them in her blazer pockets and returned to the counter, she finished with the flour, letting Kaoru pour since he had the cup anyway, and began again.
"I happened to walk in on a talk between them... heard something I wasn't exactly supposed to, but..." She meant it. I know she did. "Apparently, miss McKlaine doesn't like the idea of living with me," I think 'annoying' was the exact word she used. "And she would prefer to have me moved elsewhere- home perhaps." She attempted to keep a smile in her voice, whereas physically she could cover it with concentration on her cooking.
Normally, it wouldn't have hit her so hard; She knew that Whitney was very protective and territorial of her brother. It had never effected her before. What really hit home was the way her brother said nothing, only nodded.

"Ho-hum," said Okami inaudibly. She wasn't really involved in any of the undeniably fascinating- that was sarcasm there- conversations, and just as she was becoming fatigued by her speech abstinence, she notice that she was not the only non-participant. Kyouya was just sitting there, taking notes like it was some sort of lecture hall.
That wouldn't do.
As stealthily as possible, she slipped through the chatting throng and over to the silent host.
"I suppose it would kill you to be a tad social?"

Kaoru glanced over the scars, but focused on his task, listening to her words. "What did your brother say to that?" he asked, wanting to have all of it before he tried to give any kind of advice.

Lia was shoved into the clubroom by her crazed Hunny fangirl friend, who insisted that the trauma would be "good for her." The fangirl ran off and left her all alone.
"D...don't leave me in this kind of place again..." She whispered, standing and cowering in front of the sparkling crowd.
Someone walked towards her. Lia turned quickly and hid behind a pillar, staying in the shadows until they had left the room. She peeked out, watching the smiling girls and laughing hosts, and sighed. Looking to the ground, Lia felt a slow, shameful blush come to her face as she wondered how long it would take for her to sneak out.

"He seemed..." she cracked some eggs and dropped them in, her eyes darting around the ingredients. She smiled a little, but her eyes remained distant. "Okay with the idea." That was one reason she felt so attracted to the twins, especially Kaoru: She hadn't left her brother's side since she could remember. She spent her entire life caring for him through his illness. But when he finally began to get better, he fell in love. And Cely was all but forgotten.

Hunny noticed the new girl enter the room, and procede to hide. He slinked around the room, untill he was behind her, a tray of chocolate cupcakes in his hand. Then he quickly taped her shoulder.

Kaoru watched her, tipping his head. "He was okay? With leaving his little sister? That doesn't sound like a good brother. I mean, if I was him, I wouldn't let someone dictate who lives with me. Especially not someone who wants me to chose against my own family. I mean, I'd never do that to Hikaru. And I know at the same time, he'd never do that to me. Whomever we do date... will have to be able to handle the two of us... even if they only want to date one of us," Kaoru murmured, following the instructions and doing as he'd been told for the creation of the cupcakes. "Maybe, you should talk to him. One-on-one. Maybe, he just doesn't realize what you want."

Cely whisked the batter while Kaoru put the rest of the ingredients in, wincing occasionally. 'Okay with leaving his sister.' 'Against my own family.' "I understand what she means by it. Really. Everyone wants to be first in someone's heart. I just think she doesn't realize she is yet." No tears, no tears, She kept telling herself. None of that, not ever, this is nothing to cry about. You're dumping enough on him. Never tears. On anyone. She swallowed them down and grinned at him, hardening her heart to the whole idea. "I envy you. The twin bond must be an amazing thing." When he mentioned talking to her brother, she had to swallow again as she went to get out a cupcake pan. "I... I don't want to upset him. Really, I'm just being selfish clinging to him the way I am. The bond you and Hikaru share- I used to have that with my brother, but we're...." Cely found herself, again, lost for words, unable to find what she meant to say. She sighed and brought over the cupcake pan.

"It isn't much of a bond if you can write it off so easily... and its never upsetting to just tell a family member how you feel. That's what family members do. I mean. If they can't do that to family... who can they do it with?" Kaoru asked, beginning to get a head ache. Cely was making things overly complicated by over thinkings everything. And while it was a little sad to hear of what was going on... Kaoru knew it wasn't all her brothers fault. If she wouldn't be open and honest with him...then she would just continue to hurt herself.

"Haha... Of course, you're right, I suppose." She turned on him with a big, wide grin, sorting out batter into the cups. "I guess the bond never really was there... Really, when your bedridden, it's family that you see most... You're right, I'll tell him." She couldn't say that she already had. She couldn't say that she had tried, and she felt selfish because he told her she was being as such, so she smiled. She would smile, like she always did, like she always would, for her friends.
Her smile went soft and she rubbed her eyes with her arm. "T-thank you, Kaoru-kun. Really." She sighed and went back over with the batter, dividing the rest of it up into more empty cups. "You're right. If not with family, than who? Thanks for letting me vent though." Who with indeed? Cely knew her brother loved her very very much... but he loved his fiancee just as much.
She smiled at her creation as she put it in the oven. "You must love Hikaru-kun very much."

Kyouya watched Kaoru and Cely talk as he stood near the entrance. He was waiting for any customers who entered to direct them to the one they designated for today.

"Gyahh!" Lia jumped forwards and hit her head on the pillar she was hiding behind. Rubbing her forehead slightly, she turned around and looked down at the short host, her friend not too far away.
"Um, um...." Her hands fidgeted as her naturally quiet self took over and left her at a loss for words.
