"No need to apologize," Jasper smiled, "It's an honor to have someone of your business disposition visit us at all." he nodded, taking a seat lightly.
"What is it that you are here for, Ootori-sama?" Alice asked as Keru seated alongside Jasper.
Jasper was still nervous about his family's actions that may take place during dinner, being as they weren't the most sophisticated of people, but he shook it off, not wanting to appear anxious.

Keru could feel Jasper's nervousness as she had before when first face to face with Kyouya. She couldn't say anything to comfort him, and that irked her to no end. Her eyes locked on Daniel, she smiled aimlessly, not wanting to flaunt off her nerves. Her stomach flipped when Kyouya told them that this wasn't about anything medical, sending her into a flurry of hope of what she wanted.

Suddenly Kyouya smiled. "You son has interested me. I wish to take him in and train him in the ways of a hostly gentleman as well as in the corporate field. I find he is a very bright boy. Although his grades may or may not show it." Yes, Kyouya looked at Jaspers grades, of course. "Though for me to apprentice him, I would like to offer he stay at my house for a set amount of time so I can see his strong and weak points."
Kyouya sat back in his chair, back straightened. He had a businesslike air around him, and looking around the room he awaited the families responce.

Jasper froze. Stay at Kyouya's house? He glanced up, seeing Keru's shocked expression, also. His eyes jumped over to Daniel, who was smiling in his direction.
"I think it'd be a wonderful opportunity for Jasper to have a teacher such as yourself." Daniel nodded at Jasper, who merely gaped at him.
"What do you think, Jasper?" Kathleen said her first words of the evening.
"I- uh..." he hesitated, glancing to Keru once more for guidance. She was staring at the empty plate in front of her, looking as if she was concentrating very hard on breathing.
"I, too, think it'd be a great experience..." he didn't look away from her. They'd see each other at school everyday... it'd just be odd to wake up in Kyouya's house. He saw this as an opportunity both ways.
"Perhaps ... I will," he said evenly, looking back to Kyouya.

The doorbells sounded. Yay! More company! Hitori was waiting outside, hands behind his back, humming something as he waited for an answer. The lights were on so duh, people were home. He was there because he heard Kyouya was there... for business. What he was thinking, that perhaps Kyouya's business would take him away from the host club, had taken full effect on his mind and now he was acting on it. Singing something in french he looked around, wondering why there was a house like this in Japan. Yeah, he lived in Savannah once and he loved it. The architecture there was something that would stick in his mind for a long time.

"Excuse me." Keru murmured, pushing away from the table and walking out of the room. She grit her teeth as she reached the front door, not caring about the servant who came in to answer the door himself. Keru just wanted out of the room for any amount of time.
She opened the door, seeing Hitori's extremely cheerful expression. She paused, confused, "Hitori... san?"

Hitori grinned and came in, pretty much pushing her out of the way. "Heeey, is it dinner time?" Hitori did have the manners to stay near the door. Looking around with his hands in his pockets he smiled softly. "Reminds me of home. I was wondering if Ohtori-sempai was here. Nevermind the black jaguar in the front. I came here myself." He moved some strands of hair from his face, tucking them behind his ear. For once he actually looked like a guy, perhaps it was the apparent haircut he had.
"So you gonna invite me to dinner?"

She clenched a fist, "Yes, Kyouya-sempai is here, but he's talking to my brother." She said, irritated. Right now wasn't the time to come bounding in unannounced. She watched him closely, "I'm not sure if we have enough empty chairs for another person, I'm afraid." she breathed.

Kyouya smiled, satisfied. Upon hearing the doorbell and watching Keru go to get it he smiled sincerely. He was rather impressed with the way the family pulled together even if they weren't blood related. It reminded him of his own family at the host club. With his hands placed in his lap he remained quiet for a moment, finding it rude to speak while someone was at the door.
Though, upon hearinh Hitori speak his eyes widened for a moment and he raised a brow, his eyes searching to the side.

Jasper blinked, hearing the unfamiliar voices from the opposite room, along with Keru's stressed tone. He examined Kyouya's expression, and stood up. "Excuse me." he whispered, sliding the chair under the table and striding into the front room.
"Keru?" he asked sheepishly, seeing the newcomer.

"I know I know. Besides, I'm on a diet. But don't you think your brother shows himself most when he's relaxed?" Hitori asked softly. "I bet he laughs and smiles around you alot more than anyone. You two are close... As for Kyouya..." Upon seeing Jasper come in he smiled and winked, saying a bit louder while winking and pointing at Jasper. "I think he has my heart!" He amde a shooting motion and placed his hands on his waist. Smiling at Keru he leaned against the wall.
"So I'll just wait for him."

Kyouya sighed softly, adjusting his glasses. Looking up at Daniel he put on his genuine business smile. "So then, if your son agrees to this, I'll expect your son by tomorrow. Don't worry. I'll only keep him for a month at a time. Even though the rich usually are business people they usually are very fond of their children..." Business technique, fake empathy towards the family of a client. It works every time. Despite his own fondness of Hitori sometimes the boy would surprise him. Much like Tamaki, it was as if Hitori believed he was the star of the show...
