Welcome to Gaia! ::

Heinrich shook his head. "No, they aren't. My eldest daughter died in an accident while my second daughter is currently living in Tokyo, working as a fashion designer," said Heinrich then turned to address Yuu-chan's second question. "No, they're all already big. But if I had another daughter, I wish she'd be as cute as you," humored Heinrich, taking the young girl's bags with him. "So, where would you like to stay, little miss? We have some nice rooms upstairs. I would be happy tp escort you."

"The same room as master Xeion?" Heirich repeated, somewhat surprised at Yuu-chan's simple, yet daring request to stay in the same room as another person -- a man, in that manner. Being raised with eloquence and finesse in his blood, Heirich thought that Yuu-chan's propsal was indecent, to say the least, but seeing that Yuu-chan was but a simple girl and the man in question was Master Xeion, a rather well-mannered, well-disciplined gentleman, who wouldn't do brash or perveted action just for the heck of it, Heirich agreed, although still somewhat hesitant. "Very well," said Heinrich, bowing as he ascended the stairs with Yuu-chan's luggage.

Walking into a beautiful room that was decorated with roses and other assortment of flowers, Heinrich put the young girl's luggage to one-side. "Here we are, little miss; Master Xeion's room," said Heirich, bowing as he said so. "Do you need anything more, little miss?" he then asked, waiting for a reply from the young girl.

Heinrich nodded at Yuu-chan's request. "Yes, we do have ice cream, but what, may I ask, was the kind of ice cream Master Xeion gave you earlier?" asked Heinrich. "That way, I would know what type of ice cream I would tell the head chef to make."

Heinrich made an intelligent guess, using the description the little girl had been providing him. White ice cream with brown liquid on top, things that looked like tiny, multi-colored dots all over, and lots of red and yellow things, but the yellow things were longer. "Hmm," thought Heinrich, rubbing his chin like an old philosopher, solving a riddle, would. Finally, after several minutes, he got an answer. "Little miss, would that type of ice cream be Banana Split with lots of sprinkles, cherries, and chocolate syrup?" Heinrich asked, hoping he was right.

Heinrich bowed. "As you wish, little miss," he said before he turned around and closed the door behind him, going down to the pantry in order to get the head chef to prepare the things Yuu-chan wanted -- the banana split and ornage juice. Several minutes later, Heinrich returned with the banana split and orange juice on a silver tray and placed them on the side table in Xeion's room. "Little miss, here are your orders," Heinrich announced, going over to Yuu-chan with an ice cream bib. "Enjoy your snack," he said, smiling.

Heinrich shook his head. "No, little miss; it's just that when I carried your luggage, I noticed some ice cream stains on the clothes inside, so I thought that you were rather umptemp at eating ice cream."

Heinrich was surprised of Yuu-chan's request. "Are you sure?" he asked. "Your poncho is one of the dirtiest here, not to mention it smells of urine. However, if you wish it, I won't argue," said Heinrich, assuring Yuu-chan that he would wash all of her clothes except the poncho as with her personal request. Nodding, Heinrich turned to the door and closed it behind him, walking off to the laundry room to wash Yuu-chan's dirty clothes.

[A few hours later...]

After his rather short trip to the hospital, Xeion was able to recover quickly, just as he had promised, and was now standing in front of the mansion. Even the doctors who treating him was amazed at how fast the young, raven-haired man was able to recover. Maybe it was because of the help of the things he learned in Squad Four? In any case, he was back and was really tired, wanting only to get some sleep.

Waving a simple greeting to the guard, Xeion entered the mansion and put on his slippers, then walking past almost everyone he knew, staff and all, with a tired expression on his face. He was still able to greet properly though, but he wasn't really energized enough to pick up the subtle details around him like, for example, several maids and butlers telling him that Yuu-chan was there.

On his way up, Xeion met Heinrich and greeted him with a weak, but still friendly, smile, while Heinrich, seeing him, said "Master, your little friend is in your room." Xeion, even after hearing that, simply waved, currently unable to understand a word he said because of his fatigue. He opened the door to his room and didn't notice anything aside from the big, comfy bed before him. Immediately, Xeion took off his slippers and crawled onto the bed, resting his head on the soft pillows. He had a hard day, and it was about time that he got the rest he deserved.
