Kenth's motion of opening his mouth to reply to Alex's question, on whatever she planned to ask, was interrupted by the sudden appearance of his older brother. His first reaction matched Alex's, as the young doctor merely stared at the intruder with his mouth half open. When the second reaction hit, however, Kenth was more than frustrated. Abruptly he turned to the computer screen and away from the two, and demanded in a harsh and cold voice, not really bothering to hide his rising anger.
"Out, both of you."

“Of course cake solves all.” Greg said with a shrug. “It’s tasty, makes you feel better and makes people calm down, that‘s why I got it after all.” He chuckled and then smiled at Alex. “And there isn’t any reason why I would have changed.” He tried to look guilty, but failed rather miserably when she asked where he had been. “Well I was out and about then I went and got the cake… I wasn’t really hiding…”
He had been talking so much to Alex that he didn’t really notice that Kenth hadn’t really said anything until he told the two of them, rather briskly, to get out. Greg looked over at him semi distraught.
“But Kenth I just got here! Can’t I stay here for just a little bit? I just wanna talk, cause we haven’t in years. I won’t annoy you; I promise!” He half whined half pleaded.

"Greg..." Even though she said the red-head's name, her eyes were on Kenth. There was a delicate touch of thoughtfulness in her expression as she regarded the frigid man. She put a hand on the back of his chair, finally moving her tired gaze to the older of the three, commenting, "Later, maybe? I think the good doctor is a little harried, and has much work to do. Besides, you and I have..." Alex paused, searching for the right thing to say. "...quite a bit to discuss."
She knew better than to touch the obviously angry man, even though she didn't know the source of his anger. Sure, he didn't get along with his brother, but she'd never seen someone get so overworked by someone's presence. Alex remembered his cold and somewhat nasty attitude when she and Greg had been talking in China...maybe it was a mix of the two of them, rather than just Greg himself. That both comforted her and brought about a small bit of sadness; she'd worry about that later, however, as she did not want to anger Kenth further.
Bending down so that only Kenth would hear her (and hopefully staunching any choice words he might have for the two), she murmured, "Please eat. I'll see you tomorrow, if you'll still see me," before straightening and moving away to Greg. "YOU, Larine," she immediately reverted to being playful, shifting behind the tall man and leaping onto his back in one deft movement. Her knees tucked against his side, using her grip there to support herself so she could cross her arms at his back, "I have news from the Headmaster, so if you would so kindly take us somewhere we can speak in private?"

Greg automatically gripped onto Alex’s legs to help support her on his back and was surprised to find… Scars? He moved his hand a little, as if to get a better grip, but simply conformed, yes there was indeed scars there. He made a mental note to talk to her about that.
He looked over at Kenth though, this time actually looking quite guilty. “Kenth whatever I did to make you so mad at me I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to, and I whish that you would just tell me so I could make it up to you and you could stop being mad at me already.” He said dejectedly.
“So where would you like to go, Miss Alex?” He asked Alex, turning to a happy and cheerful act about as fast as he turned his head.

Kenth kept his back turned so one could tell that he was concentrating on the works to be done on the computer screen. His hands, however, were tense, as the young doctor tapped on the keys almost with full force, making the quiet room filled with the sound of fingers tapping on the keyboard.
He shivered a little at Alex's voice beside his ear. Not turning, he gave a little nod to Alex...almost an invisible nod as one would think it was only part of the motion as he continued to type. To Greg's question he gave no answer. He couldn't give him one even if he wanted to. It was just too complicated to explain, something that man would never understand...
He only hoped that Alex won't be bringing in Greg next time.

Alex stiffened a little as Greg's hand touched her bare skin on her right leg beneath her jeans; rather, there wasn't bare skin as much as there was a tangle of scars, and she mentally kicked herself for not wearing her brace to cover them. As he seemed to reposition himself and again touch the mess on her leg, it made her remember what had happened all those years ago, bringing more questions that she wanted to ask 'Greg'...
The silence stretched, punctuated only by the loud clacking of Kenth's fingers on the keyboard. She really didn't want to leave him, but she really needed to speak to Greg, too. It was a small comfort to know that Kenth would almost always be here; having just found Greg after being knocked out for half a month, there was much to discuss.
"Well, we can take an evening stroll around the grounds, if you're so inclined," she offered cheerfully, not at all displaying her dark and inward thoughts. "I haven't been given a proper tour, and I rather like the night sky here." Alex grinned, draping her arms around Greg's shoulders so that she looked like she was getting a piggy-back ride from the taller man, "Looks like you're leading anyway. Shall we?"
((Aisha, should we start a new PRP for the discussions that are gonna follow? XD))

((Yeah we probably should. You want to or should I? And sorry about the wait. ^^; I went home for the week end and spent time with my boyfriend. He joined the Navy and is going to be gone like all Christmas and all the big breaks I have. *is sad* ))
Greg looked sadly at his brother and then down at the cake that he had set down when Alex had jumped on his back. He shifted Alex over and picked up the cake. “Well here’s the cake at the very least.” He said, with a smile. “I did get that for you.” He set it down and near the computer and then hooked his arm once more around Alex’s leg.
“I know some really nice places around here.” Greg said, once more cheerful and happy. “I run a lot and I can take you to some of the nice places that I’ve seen. You haven’t even gotten that heavy.” He said as he left the room, careful to pull the door closed with his foot as best he could. After all Kenth didn’t normally like disruptions.
