"Awww, I scare people? That's pretty impressive though isn't it? BUT YES! I've been trying to be serious."
It was said with spooky fingers even, it -was- kind of a scary thought.
"Been working on my team, left Hillworth but I'm still studying...sorry Zee, I really do miss you..."
He still looked pretty guilty at that. There were times he wished he was still back in that dorm, but it was for the best.... right?...
"And Zee is silly, Sherlock totally needs a Watson. Just like Zee totally needs me around to balance....well, -him-. And he needs you or he will be missing someone on his team and that'd be pretty sucky."
He was trying in his own simple way to be smart and make observations. He just...didn't have quite the language skills his partner had.

"And YOU know his best work had Watson around." Toki said with a shrug.
Demy+serious= brain breakage.
No... She was NOT used to him attempting to be serious, was this really the same boy whom asked her for Slurpee rides to 7-11 at all hours of the day? The boy whom if you gave him a cookie he would be content?
... At least while the cookie was still around.
"Really?.... Your 'spirit fingers' aren't really helping your case then demy." She said with a grin, he did look rather ridiculous...
She felt a slight pang of pain at Demy's last sentence. Was all she was just a team member, that's all? If she disappeared one day they would just replace her like some... no longer usable piece of machinery? If that's how they wanted it... her face suddenly turned to stone.

Zac's own face flickered and turned to stone, all but his eyes, at Faya, he shot a curious glance.
"I would be missing quite a lot if I hadn't been so fortunate as to get you on my team." he told her in calm and serious tones, he had his suspicion what she might be reacting to, it was all he could do to guess and be sincere.
"I'm fortunate to know such people, named pieces in a game of pawns. I mean to see you go far...both of you." He said quietly.

"But I AM being serious! Really! I'm totally working on everything, but they won't really lose me because it'd be a terrible loss. Our organization needs more slurpee loving balls of fun. ...Er maybe not, then I wouldn't be so special anymore...hrm..."
He was content to think on this for a moment, until he caught sight of Faya's sudden expression change. The blonde tilted his head at this, rather confused.
"Was...its something I said? I like you being around...you know that, right Toki?"
Demy blinked from her to Zee, distressed look slowly moving back into a happy grin.
"We WILL go far Zee...very far. All of us!"

She was touched that the both of them seemed to recognize her mood shift, but the damage had already been done. Her eyes did soften slightly, but not that much. "Im thankful to be on your team too boss, and Demy... while you might be irritating sometimes, i do enjoy having you around too." She paused taking a drink from the water.
...
She paused a little more before rummaging around in her pocket, bringing out a 20 and putting it on the table. "I know my place though." She was being a bit of a brat yes, but sometimes she was just that way. She needed time to clear her thoughts. "I'm not really hungry anymore, heres money to pay for the food feel free to eat it. It was nice seeing you two, Ill see you later tonight boss." She scooted out of the booth and shrugged her jacket on.

Knew her place?! The words made him frown sharply and he nearly considered sliding out from under the table to follow her. Instead he pulled out his cell phone and sent her a time and a place, no other explanation.
Let her make of that what she would for now.
"s**t..." He swore softly after it was said and done.
"Well...that went well." he added with a heavy dose of sarcasm.

Demy sank in the seat beside Zee, looking downright miserable.
"D-did I say something wrong? I didn't meant to Zee! I like Toki, I wouldn't say something to make her upset and leave on purpose! You gotta believe me, right Zee? Right?"
The blonde was growing more and more distressed with each passing word, tone very nearly reaching that of a wail.

Zac sighed and took a long swig of his soda before he answered.
"... I believe it was saying that she was important because she was on my team, the manner which you put it placed her as a pawn, she is defiantly a knight." He said and took another drink.
"I'll talk to her..."
Ohhh he'd talk... he'd have a sling shot to help him with the talk too. "She's more than just someone to fill up space on my team, she's got a lot of potential."

"I didn't MEAN it like that! I didn't mean she was just some random sack to take up space on your team. I know she has potential! But it's not like...us, ya know? I know why I'm important to you, or at least I think I do... All I -really- know about Toki is she's on your team, is awesome, and you think highly of her..."
Demy grumbled, placing his head in his hands.
"Why do I keep messing up...?"

"She -does- have potential just like us..." Zac said turning with a small frown.
"I won't start -dating- her if that's what your worried about but she has every bit as much potential in her to go as far as we hope to... it's in her to get there, I just need her to see it, I want her to see it." He said vehemently.
He didn't quite feel like a parent in regards to his team, but there was a drive there, he couldn't quite explain it because he'd not HAD that want before he had a team of his own, he'd wanted Enterprise to be the best of course, but it felt different somehow. He felt more responsible FOR them and not just to them.
He sighed and patted Dem on the back. "As long as you learn from messing up, then your on the right track... it's when you see it coming and dodge it that you have really started to make it."

He wailed again, especially at that frown.
"THAT'S not what I meant either! I'm not saying she doesn't have potential and I'm definitely not afraid you're going to start dating her. I just meant I -know you- more than I know her, so I KNOW why I'm important to you, but maybe not exactly -why- she's important to you besides the fact that she is and I like her."
Demy leaned closer at the pat on his back, going so far as to lean his head on Zee's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset her...didn't think she'd leave. I'll try not to do it again..."

"Well then don't be so careless with your word choices, its twice now you made her sound somehow lesser than us... for all you know one day we might be bowing to her as a new GQ... " He said in hushed irritated tones.
He sat back and sighed...
"Sorry... it's been a long day. She's on my team, that's important, I think she could go far and I -trust- her, I don't trust many people you know that..." He said shaking his head trying to explain.

"It's not that she's lesser, I just...think higher of you than anyone else..."
Demy sighed, sliding out of his seat next to Zee and slinking into the other side of the booth. The irritation slipping into the other boy's words was distressing, and for all he knew he was quickly pissing off Zee as well. Better to slip to the other side of the booth and offer him a quick escape route if it reached the point Toki had as well.
Not that he -wanted- Zee to leave, mind you, but if the shorter boy ended up wanting to and he didn't have a way out it could turn rather messy.
"I'm sorry man."
The blonde had moved to rest the side of his head on the table, acid eyes staring off distantly at a wall.
"I know you don't trust many people, sorry I keep screwing that up."

"Dem... you yourself can not keep me from trusting someone else, only they can." He said, his tone even and measured as he compartmentalized the irritation among other feelings.
He closed his eyes for a long moment and only opened them again as the food arrived, he asked for Toki's to be boxed up and they vanished with it once more as he sat forward to pick though his nachos.
"... So shut up and eat your Taco, You can't be someone you're not and I'd hate it if you were trying so... just... shut up and eat your taco."

"You still trust me, yeah?"
He had at least picked his head up off the table, the taco and soda pulling him out of his distressed state. At least a bit.
He didn't shut up though. In a way that was so very Demy.
"I think I remember a time you -wanted- me to be someone else. Didn't like my loudness and colors and...well you know."
Demy was grinning again, a distinctly cocky grin.
"So you -like- me like this, don't you? Little Zac actually warmed up to me? I feel honored!"
