Liana
Lia smiled hearing what Emerson said and then Amelia being the polite one. She shook her head as she started cutting more of her own food into small pieces as she was shaking her head to Amelia apology for Emerson. "It's all right" she said to her "In American I'm used to bigger perverts than him believe it or not and it seemed that the richer the more they think about girls in provocative ways." she explained her her simply.
She ate a piece of her own food as she ate it like a lady would and didn't just hork it down like some people do when they eat. Lia swallowed her own food before she answered Emerson's questions. "That is three very different things to like and the list could go on" she said to him with a small smirk on her lips "I'll cut one out, I'm not much of a sports fan but my father is a big soccer fan" she paused "Excuse me football fan I know that is how you say it here" she told him "For languages I don't really know how you can like a language but I know how to speak a fair few of them" she breathed out "And as for reading at my old house we had a library full of reading books that I have read almost every single one of them, sadly our new home does not have a library because of" she paused searching for the words without giving away too much "Some circumstances"

Draco
Draco had watched the whole interaction between the high bred women and he would have said the same thing as Emerson, but he kept tight lipped. He was more interested in keeping his head on tonight. He'd gone through another fourth of the bottle, just one left. Heavy drinking was bred into the Scottish and he was no exception.
"Yes well the word Soccer orginated here in the UK, back then England. There are two theories, my favorite being that the college boys up at Oxford were lazy and didn't want to say Association." Draco chuckled as his downed the rest of his glass, poured another and began on this.
"What have you read Lia, if I may so inquire? Shakespear, 'To be or not to be,' that is not the question. How bout the Art of War. I have a copy in my room, for light reading. Or shall we go even deeper, Marx, Hitler, Stalin. You know Sterring was founded by Marxist. It isn't that way anymore, but it was." Draco had raided the locked sections of the school. He had the original blueprints and the original charter.

Amelia Valentine
Amelia couldn't help the quick burst of bright laughter escaping her lips when Draco mentioned Marx. She had more respect for Hitler or Stalin then that bearded pretender. She quickly hide the rest of her merriment in her glass. Finding the Coke half-empty, she frowned and reached for Emerson's bottle and returned her drink to its state of fullness. And if half of it was vodka and the other was Coca-Cola, then so be it. Emerson gave Amelia a dark look.
"I'm sorry. I should mind my sister's reading texts closer."
Amelia had to bit back another round of laughter, lest she embarrass herself again. Emerson had been the one to try and introduce her to Marxism, of all things. Don't even, Em. You and I both know the truth, even if you try to pretend otherwise. But she wouldn't out her brother; that was straight out against their code. Instead, she turned to Draco.
"How did you know that? That Steering was founded by a Marxists, of all things?"

Liana
When she heard more questions fittering out of Draco's mouth she had the strongest urge to sigh out. Lia didn't know why they were asking so many questions apparently curious about her but did they want to know her intellect by what kind of books she read?
Before Lia could do anything she heard Amelia's outburst and apparently with her question to draco about Marxist that was what she was laughing about, so instead of answering more questions she stayed quiet as she picked up her drink taking another sip of it before she continued to eat her meal. Lia didn't mind answering questions she just wasn't used to people asking her some since everyone in her school back home knew pretty much everything about her since all the rich kids went to the same school from preschool and up.

Emerson Valentine
Emerson ignored his sister and Draco and leaned close to Liana; talks of politics and economics bored him half to death. As far as he was concerned Marx had created the most boring system of governing to date. He thought that Liana, pretty little quiet, demure Yank that she was, was gads more interesting then all the torturing, maiming, and raping of Former Soviet Union combined. Emerson took a drink from his glass before commencing the beginning of the salvo of questions.
"What brings you to the good ol' common wealth? Why did you leave the States?"
His mobile buzzed in his pocket before Liana had a chance to answer. Damn. Em gave Liana an apologetic smile and fished it out of his trousers; the little numbers being displayed on the screen made him frown.
"Izvinite, but I must take this."
He removed his napkin from his lap and scooted back the table, the phone already at his ear, his muttered da? left hanging in the air as Emerson made his way towards a quiet corner in the now hopping establishment. Amelia broke off from her own conversation long enough to watch him leave, a curios look in her eyes.

Liana
Glancing at Emerson as he leaned over Lia was glad to have some sort of distracting from the debate the other two were having at the moment. She opened her mouth to answer what he asked her when she heard the ringing and closed her mouth seeing Emerson answer it.
Her eyes watched him go for half a second before they turned back to her food eating more of it. She let herself keep quiet while she ate before she felt her own phone vibrate in her purse. Snatching it out she glanced at it seeing that it was her step mother.
'Where are u? Ur father is wondering?' she saw it writted seeing her trying to text like other teens have over the years. Lia rolled her eyes and ignored the text. She knew they must have called the school to see how she was instead of calling her and they must have told him that she wasn't in her room.
(I just realized I gave the same name to my character in guardian as well haha)

Emerson Valentine
After a few minutes of heated conversation, Emerson came back, looking more troubled then before. He collected his jacket off of the back of his chair, and shrugged into his, his mobile hidden back away in his trousers pockets.
"I'm sorry, little birds, but we must be off. Something's...come up. I'm terrible sorry for this all; I'll make it up to you, later on."
Amelia made a face. She was having a nice time, and yet again, her brother was ruining it. Jam tomorrow, jam yesterday, but never jam today.
"Draco said he'd give me a ride back, anyhow; I'm just going to stay here."
Emerson frowned; he didn't like the thought leaving them alone, but his twin had a headstrong streak in her that made her annoying at worst, and difficult at best. He ignored her and offered Liana a hand up out of her seat after dropping a handful of fifty-pound banknotes onto the table to pay for the majority of the meal.
"I'm terrible sorry for this, Yank; I'll make it up to you, I promise."
[I know, right. ^.-]

Liana
Liana looked at him as he came back. Hearing what he said to them she just nodded as she wipped her mouth with the napkin gently collecting her purse stuffing the cellphone in that just is not continously going off. She slid her hand into his and stood up looking at him.
"It's fine, this is not the first dinner I was at where someone had to rush out because of some emergency" she told him.
Turning to Amelia and Draco she smiled to them "Thank you for allowing me to join you for dinner, I had a great time" she said to them before looking at Emerson guessing he was either take her home or put her in a car to take her home by herself.

Dinner? We had hardly even time to taste the drinks before I had to leave. But Emerson only smiled pleasantly and lead Liana out the door, not too quickly, but certainly not at a sedate pace like he'd normally walk.
"It was my pleasure. And, if you're still hungry, there's time enough on the way back to run through a drive. It's the least I can do after yanking you away from your first real Tommy meal."
Not necessarily Tommy, since it was Romanian, but still; it was in Britain after all. They waited a few minutes in that vague silence near-acquaintances had, before the valet pulled up with their car. Emerson unlocked it with a beep from his keys, tipped the middle-class (poor chap) teenager, and climbed in to the car quickly.
"Am I taking you back to the campus directly, or a flat off of it?"
He'd seen her checking her phone on his way back to the table (by accident of course) and had immediately assumed it was some kind of a boyfriend of hers. As such, it would not have seem slightly out of the ordinary on his half of things if she had arranged a rendezvous with him in the College Town, as the small village surrounding Steering Charter School was called.

Liana Mierlia
She stood next to him as she answered him "I'm all right, we don't need to stop at any place for me to get more to eat" she said to him.
Getting into the car she sat down pushed down her dress and fixing her hair a little bit. Hearing her phone vibrating again she ignored it inside her purse and looked at Emerson. "You can just take me back to the dorm rooms if you want, I would prefer that actually" she said to him her eyes looked a little irritated but it wasn't that she was giving to him or irritated by him more along the lines of something else.
Lia relaxed a little bit as she breathed out, her eyes looking straight ahead for a moment. "But really thanks for asking me to come along, not alot of people would have just offered me to go to dinner with them especially in a foreign state" she said as she then glanced over at him and smirked "I'll have to return the favor somehow" she added.

Emerson Valentine
Emerson smiled, and nodded along with Liana's words, speeding out along the highway, out of Cheshire. He glanced away from the road as he pulled onto the highway, accelerating sharply.
"It's fine, no problem at all. You're interesting, Yank. That's reason enough to invite you."
A shiver of pleasure marched down his spine when he saw Liana's smirk, highlighted by the passing street-lights. Emerson turned back to the road, contemplating just what that returned "favor" may be. He smiled to himself and settled down into his chair, the long ride already getting into his bones.
"So, why did you move away from the States? I heard that they were lovely this time of the year."

Liana gave a laugh with what he said last. "If you say so" she said to him. She took a breath in as she let her hands run down her thighs for a moment "We moved so my father could branch out his company, I didn't question it" she told him which wasn't the exact answer it was part of the answer but she didn't say the rest.
"It is good to move away sometimes gives you a fresh start plus I always wanted to live in a foreign country see if theres anything different than living in United states" she added with a shrug.

Emerson Valentine
Like he needs to expand it much anyway. A few more countries and he'll move up into the number one slot for the most profitable private company. Emerson glanced over at Liana.
"And how's Merry Old England so far? Foreign enough from your Unite States yet?"
He laughed lightly and flipped on the radio, letting the siren sounds of the metalheads Father's Sons, and Iron Maiden wash through the car to lull them to relaxation. Emerson took a hand off of the wheel to scratch the inside of his elbow; he was starting to jonse again for his drug of choice. I wonder if I've got some time before I have to leave again? A trip or three wouldn't go amiss.
"You're sure you're not hungry? You barely touched your pork loin."

"England is good so far, of course I have only been here for maybe a week" she said. Liana was staring out the window when she looked back at him. "I'm sure I'm fine, I can get something later anyway" she told him knowing she could just order something to eat.
"So how come we are leaving early anyways?" She asked looking at him curiously "Unless it's some kind of secret" she added.

Emerson Valentine
"Have you ever been out of country before now?"
He correctly interrupted what Liana meant by "get something later." He glanced over at her, then back at the road once more when he saw that she was looking out her own window. Boring her?
"Deliveries on campus charge you an arm and a leg for what should just be a few rubles."
Emerson yawned, and returned both hands to the wheel; he accelerated the car, wanting to get home faster. Long drives always made him anccy. Amelia chalked it up to him not being able to move, like he wanted to. Emerson tended to agree with his twin.
"It's not a secret. My mate, well, bloke I know anyway, needs help with a project for his company. The information I need to help him is, unfortunately, on my home computer. Something I don't have access to from the restaurant. That, and Draco was starting to bore me to death. Is there anything more boring then politics? I mean, really? Not hardly fit for dinning room conversation."
