Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Yes, she was sitting. She sat down when you guys appeared.))

*Synge was glad Ben didn't try to push her thoughts out of her right now, but she was worried by the way he looked at Hikaru. She shrugged at his comment and smiled, although the words made her very nervous inside.*

I don't know why! Maybe it is in the air, heh.

*She smiled and hugged him tightly, she wanted him to be reassured that everything was fine.*

(( Oopsy! I missed that one! ))

Ben felt quite uncomfortable. The air was very thick tonight, it seemed to reek of conflict. He felt the tight hug and hugged you back. He offered a kiss on your lips softly but somehow felt that your actions were forced. He really needed some air.



Ben smelled a rat, this was exactly how Hikaru seemed to act when he was up to something. He started to have a sinking feeling in his stomach. He kept his attitude polite as he looked slightly accusatory at Hikaru.

Okay...better be careful...if she hit you that hard you must have said something bad...I don't know how you two stay friends as much as you get at each other...but..eh.

He paused and lit one of his smokes, Keira might be relieved to see it wasn't a clove. Perhaps a little smoke would cut the air to something less manageable.

((Edit ))

*Keira glances at Synge wondering why she would hot Hikaru and then when Hikaru whispers in her ear she sigh. He really did deserve it. She then eyes Ben and sighs turning back to Hikaru*

Be smarter then that Hikaru! What were you thinking! Geez...

*To Hikaru it might seem like she was talking about theur kiss, but she was in fact fooled by his lie. She makes it to the door finally and waits for Synge to follow her outside. Once they were outside she sits on the steps sighing*

*Hikaru shrugged at Keira's words and then he smiled. He wondered if she meant more with her words, but he somehow doubted it. He put his attention on Clever now. He walked over to her and smiled apologetically.*

I'm sorry, I hope you aren't waiting on me. How's your foot? All better now?

*He glanced at Ben, with a bit of an angry spark in his eye. He was still bitter about what he had done with Synge, and so much more. He thought of saying something back to him right now, but had better things to do honestly. He quickly turned back to Clever with a smile.*

Ben nodded and mouthed that he would be sleeping soon to Synge. When he was kissed it felt normal and he was quite happy for it to be real. He looked at Keira and then to Synge again.

Okay...you girls go have fun...

He then turned to Hikaru as he watched him tend to Clever. Sighing heavily he headed into the kitchen and through the almost hidden door in the kitchen that lead to the balcony, shutting it behind him. Soon he found his way to the balcony. Finally some fresh air.

He took a deep breath in and smoked more on his cig as he felt the tension easing off slowly. He laughed almost stupidly to himself.

Man...how did you do it Aykon? You really must have loved people...they cause so many problems sometimes...

*Once Synge is outside she is completely unprepared for Keira's sudden question. It was so abrupt and forward. She blushed because of this and felt her heart start to beat faster.*

I...I...oh...what? Right, heh, well he deserved it! He...he's always...saying the wrong things! You should that by now, you have spent enough time with him. He is impossible sometimes, heh.

*She looked nervous, but her words became more confident as she continued to speak.*

*Hikaru was relieved to see Ben leave, but surprised he didn't say good bye to his newest client. He shrugged it off and smiled charmingly as Clever said her foot was fine. He turned towards the hallway that lead to the library and pool and started to walk, turning around once to motion with his hand for her to follow.*

You've already seen this room, considering you slept in it, heh. Sometimes there is a pretty cool band playing on that stage, and this is where you'll get food and drinks from Keira. Of course, if she isn't around Ben can help you, or you can help yourself really. Keira is pretty bad at cleaning up after herself, heh, look out for that. Down this way is the library and the pool. I've only been down here once honestly, but it is pretty cool...

*Synge was shocked by Keira's sudden anger. Had everyone lost their mind tonight?! After her initial shock, she felt a little pissed off. She wasn't sure how much more of this kind of stuff she could take. Her annoyance was written all over her face and in her voice.*

Ok Keira, that's all wonderful for you to say, but you have no idea if I've hit him or anyone else before. Stop acting like you understand, because you don't. Please...you don't know what he did....ugh, trust me, he deserved it!

*She was a bit taken aback when she asked what Hikaru said about Ben, and she realized what lie he had whispered in Keira's ear. She thought of something quickly.*

He...I can't barely repeat it...he was just going on about how he couldn't believe I was still dating such a loser...he was upset because he thinks Ben isn't good enough for me. Which is stupid, he doesn't even know Ben!

*She thought of something else she could tell Keira, to distract her. She didn't want to say it, but she had to do something.*

I mean, he somehow realized that we slept together, and he totally freaked out! I'm not the little girl he grew up with, I guess he doesn't get that...
