Canti smiled weakly and nodded, standing on her toes to kiss his cheek.
"I will."
She turned and shuffled through the books again, picking a new one up, and then turned back.
" Po . . . "
She looked up at him for a second, then, suddenly, hugged him, tightly, clutching the notebook in one hand.
"Thank you."

Po grinned back at her, hugging her tightly. "you're welcome gorgeous."
He pulled her closer, kissing her lightly on the lips

She kissed him back, grinning, and led him downstairs.
Mitsuru was reclined on the couch, reading the latest Shounen Jump. When they entered the room, he sat up, looking at his sister, concerned.
"Everythign all right?"
She nodded, and held out the sketchbook, showing him the drawings she'd done of him and Ophelia, and, occasioally, herself.
After a few moments of leafing through, he laid the notebook down and beamed up at her.
"I wish my art was this good."
Canti blushed furiously, clinging to Po's shirt almost shyly.
"Where's Ophelia?"
"Ran out. She's pretty pissed. Not at you," he said, quickly, seeing Canti's expression darken, "At herself, for . . . well, I'll let her explain when she's ready."
Suru looked up at Po and smiled, genuinly, for the first time.
"Thanks for helping my sister out, bro."

Po grinned back at Suru. "She just needed a little confidence, I can give her that. She has a rare talent for catching peoples personalities in her drawings. Its not something that can be learned....she just has it."
((I gotta go, going out for lunch. bbl))

Suru nodded and closed his magazine.
"well, I''m off to actually do some work. You guys have fun."
He stood and ruffled Canti''s hair on the way up to his room. Canti smoothed her bao back into place and kissed Po's cheek.
"I told you he likes you."

Po smiled down at her. Brushing her hair back from her face, he pressed a light kiss on her forehead.
"I like him....he's protective of his lil sis...which I can understand. Speaking of which...I'm not sure I trust the guys in the bookstore with Akki. They both look like trouble, and Akki is too easily hurt. Would you like to drag her out and head to the party at the Fallen Star?"

"I might be there later, but I've got to straighten up that mess I made going through my books."
She kissed him on the cheek and walked him out.

Ophelia arrived back at the house, dazedly and glanced around her room. She was already sitting on her bed. She shook her head, weakly, groaning. She really was tripping out. She kicked off her boots and didn't even bother getting undressed before climbing into bed and dozing off.
The next morning, she sat up, looking dazed and flexing her hand, slowly, looking down at her knuckles with a measure of bewilderment, sluggishly trying to remember what had happened the night before. After a while, she shook her head and got up, showered, and dressed, deciding she needed some coffee to sober up.
Cantique woke up, stretching and yawning lightly and put on a robe, going down ino the garden to chillax and drink some tea.

When Ophelia arrived back from the coffee shop, still hung over, Canti was still lounging out on the porch in her PJs.
"Where did you go so early, little sister?"
"Out."
"Oooo, were you going to see Liam?"
Ophelia slammed the door on her sister, and stormed up to her room.

Cantique shrugged and put her feet back up on the table, crossing her legs languidly. She opened her sketchbook and started to make a vauge outline of the landscape of the garden. It wasn't turning out horrid, but still not very good.
Phelia pulle herself together up in her room and, an idea sparking up, she dug through her closet, pulling out a dusty guitar care. She unzipped it and the insrument lay in it's bed, dusty, but just like new. She slung it over her shoulder and slipped out of her room, heading for the front door.
Mitsuru, who was on his way out as well, stopped her.
"Hey, is that Mum's guitar?"
"She gave it to me, get off my back."
"Whatever, just asking."
Phelia fidgeted and hugged her brother, muttering an apology before darting off down the porch, in the direction of the graveyard again.
Suru smiled, lightly and shrugged, heading back towards the Star. It was a nice place to people watch, at least.

Cantique had fallen asleep lounging on the back porch, but, at the sound of knocking, stirred. She yawned and stood up, passing through the house to open the front door, rubbing her eye with the heel of her hand.
"Hullo? Oh, hey, Po."
She smiled lazily and opened the door wider for him, still in Pajama pants and a tank top.

Awed by the sleepy loveliness in front of him, Po pulled her into his arms nuzzling her neck with his lips. "Hello beautiful, did I wake you?"

"Mmmmm . . ."
Canti circled her arms around his waist and tilted her head back to kiss his cheek.
"Not at all. I'm just having a lazy day. Care to join me?"

Po grinned, holding her loosely in his arms. "And get lazy with you? Should I run home and get my jammies?"
