James looked to Nori and gave the newcomer a grim smile, before returning his attentions to Kyrin. He moved closer, so he was almost touching her back, and once again moved his hands around her shoulders, comforting, calming. "Please, please, Kyrin. She knows her place, she's done wrong, and we've awknowledged that. No one needs to be hurt here. No one. Calm, love, calm." He spoke directly to her, soothing, almost as though they had a closer relationship than they, in reality, did. He hoped in the back of his mind that he, too, was not overstepping his boundaries in this universe.

Lily's temper rose, seeing Nori nod to what she heard James say she willed her temper down by force.the people up there owe me big!!"Nothing's wrong with me, but who in their right of mind would like getting pinned?"she pointed to the hand at her neck, keeping her voice low and without malice or anger in it she continued,'Look apparently I did something wrong so would you mind telling me what that was since you mentioned checking things through you.' Lily's anger began to rise again and she forced it down all the more as Osiris's growls weren't on her liked to do list. She looked Ky straight in eyes and kept her voice sincere"I do not and will not ever think that this"she pauses to gesture to the mafia'was or is a game.'Lily waited for Kyrin's reply expecting more screaming and violence.

 As always, when Kyrin would get angry her voice usually wouldn't rise very high, it just took on a large hint of anger. Hearing James speak again and feeling his hands on her shoulders did a great amount to calm her. She took a deep breath, James being there was making her feel better... but it also made her miss Craig. This was normally something he would do for her. Ky kept the members of the mafia in check, but there were times that she, herself, needed to be put back into her place, however high up in the line that may have been.
Taking her hands off Lily and taking a step back, putting herself against James, she spoke again, "If you honestly cannot figure out what it is that you did wrong then I have nothing more to say to you until you do." Her voice was low, almost dangerous. Kyrin shifted her stance, feeling James behind her. She didn't much mind him being there, he was very soothing to her. He kept her sane and she felt that he understood her.

Lily was truly annoyed at Kyrin, but glad to be on her feet again didn't I just say I had no idea?! how the heck did she not understand me! Lily clenches her fist briefly with her thought then shoving her annoyance out the door she falls to her knees before Kyrin. "I just asked you to explain what I did wrong, but since that didn't work,"she calms her voice before continuing Osiris was huge from this viewpoint and not happy,'I'm begging you to tell me at least the ground rules, I've never been a part of group like this'her fists clench involuntarily making Lily force them open again,"Please, I told you I would do my best and to even start I need that kind of information first."She bowed from her waist offering an easy target for Ky to attack at or Osiris for that matter.

James shifted so that he was holding Kyrin loosely. Mentally, he cursed himself for becoming so attached to her, but he didn't mind so much, or so the opposing half of his mind believed. Besides, holding Kyrin like this was as calming to him as it was to her, and he needed that right just then. He needed the quiet affection that being like this seemed to create. He closed his eyes, and breathed slowly, evenly, bringing them both back down from the anger or, in his case, self- doubt. But the moment passed as Lily began to speak again, and he stepped back, seperating himself from Kyrin completely.

Once Lily had taken to the floor, Nori rushed to Kyrin and bowed his head to her. " I'm sorry, please don't be mad at Lily! It's partially my fault anyways..."He fumbled with his hands on the dress in front of him. " What's important in a group is communication, right?" His attempt at kindling the situation was probably no use, but he tried anyways.

Upon hearing the angered voice of Kyrin, Draven frowned, “one moment”, he said to Izzy as he turned around a calm look on his face. He wanted to get involved and rip that little broads head off, but it wasn’t up to him. Kyrin wouldn’t want more bloodshed right now, or at least Draven thought so. Moving up to his mistress and that horrid cat, his eyes were hard as he looked from Nori, to Lily then to Kyrin. All he could do was shake his head, “Lady Kyrin, as much as I’d like to see you tear that girl limb from limb, infighting will get us nowhere”
Draven gave a thankful smile to James, without him, Kyrin probably would have had him killed all those months ago. Draven placed himself in between the two girls, “the new girl is right”

A smile had passed Kyrin's lips as James had held her, but when he let go, the smile instantly faded. She had liked his touch, but when she heard Lily speak she scowled. "Do not take me for stupid." She said, trying to reign in her anger, Lily was making it hard for her to do. "If you cannot figure out, from what I just told you, what it is that you did wrong, then you don't have a good head on your shoulders. I know that you have never been part of a group like this, but from what you'd been doing before, I know that you believe in secrecy. Do you not? How would this be any different. Just because a pretty girl walks in, dressed all nice, doesn't mean that you should be going around showing her the mansion, without checking it over first. Does that make sense to you, or are you going to continue to be dense?" Kyrin didn't mean for her words to be rude, but at this point she wasn't really thinking over her words to make them less harsh. She really could care less. Secrecy, especially in the mafia was common sense, to her at least.
As Nori spoke, Kyrin looked at him, "Yeah, it could be your fault, but unfortunately for Lily, it isn't. And just so you know, Nori, I don't take well to people who don't catch on quickly, they tend to make bad decisions. The kind that get you killed, my father taught me that, and has proven it to me many times."
Hearing Draven, Kyrin looked over at him, she knew he was right, she likely shouldn't fight with Lily. But she wouldn't tell Draven he was right, because she didn't feel that she was wrong in aserting her power.

James nodded briefly in awknowledgement of Draven, who he still wasn't overly partial to, and smiled to Nori, grateful to 'her' for stepping in as well. He stayed to the background of things, searching his mind and the situation for another excuse to hold Kyrin. Trying to tell himself that he didn't want to was a futile endeauvor. Perhaps, he told himself, It isn't her. Maybe I just want someone to tell me that I don't need to hurt myself for this all. Maybe anyone can give me this. Maybe I don't need her at all. But this was all useless. He continued to watch the situation unfold before him.

Lily's fist clenched and this time she didn't unclench them as she kept herself bowed, she especially didn't like the guy she had thought to defend Izzy from, butting in. where the hell did I go wrong? first I tried to protect Izzy and she snaps. Then I try to show the new girl around to the spots I knew. What's so secret about a ballroom, living room, bathroom and rooftop?! I'm dense!? Like I was raised in a mafia! Lily stands looking at no one knowing her anger was coming back no matter how hard she tired to fight it. Lily keeps her voice level still trying to be civil,"Forgive me my lack of common sense where it concerns the mafia, I found no harm nor endangerment to showing Nori the common rooms like that of any house that I had, like I said before previously visited."Lily couldn't handle the anger inside her,'Please allow me to leave and think over what I've done. If anything I'll be on the rooftop of the mansion should you need me for any reason at all.'once again she waited for her Boss's reply keeping her body relaxed as much as possible.

Kyrin had almost completely lost it with Lily at this point, "I don't care what the hell you do." She felt like she was talking to a child, a very young child and she decidedly didn't want to see Lily for a while. Not bothering to excuse herself like she normally would, Kyrin left the group and headed for the stairs. She needed to clear her head, to calm down. Osiris followed quickly, and beat Kyrin to her room.
Once she got into her room, Kyrin sat on her bed. "I guess I should sit her down and teach her..." She said quietly to herself. She still couldn't see how any of the situation had been her fault, but she figured that as the leader she should fix it so it would stop pissing her off. Running her hands through her hair, she fell back on the bed. Osiris had curled up on the floor at the foot of the bed, and was now contently falling asleep; he had had a long day of being threatening.
Kyrin looked up at her ceiling. She really needed to do something to get out of the house. The Butterfly Mafia hadn't actually done any real work in near a month, and she felt that it was time they did something. She hoped that Craig would bring them back something to work on. He always brought interesting information to her.

Draven sighed; amazed that Kyrin didn’t kill Lily. Without a second thought, he followed Kyrin into the mansion. His feet were quite behind her, his years of training to be in perfect harmony with his body made it easy for him to move silently behind her. As she enters her room, Draven hesitated. It was never a good idea to visit a girl in her chambers when she pointedly left a public area.
“Lady Kyrin”, he said, “May I enter?” his voice was calm.

"Excuse me." James mumbled, and he followed Kyrin up the stairs. He watched her retreat to her room, and thought a few moments.Why Jamie? You don't need her. You haven't needed anyone these last months, why now? I thought this was what we were running from.Speaking of, I thought we didn't like girls. No, we don't. Well, we like them just fine, we just don't like them like she wants us to like her. Shaking his head lightly and collecting himself, telling his unwanted, running, thoughts to shut up, he considered going to see Kyrin, but, seeing Draven already there, he retreated to his own room, promising his inner monologue that he would pay her a visit later.

"Uh, ummm.." Nori decided to break the silence. " I...I'll go make some snacks for lunch." He hurried off towards the kitchen, reminding himself to bring something to Kyrin later.

Lily seeing Kyrin leave after her biting remark dug her nails into her hand, I'm trying aren't I?! She stuffed her hands in her jean pockets and only vaguely heard Nori as she left the mansion by way of the front entrance. Quickly she climbed the vines all the way to the highest point which happened to be a stepple(sp?) and sat on the slanted part with her feet bracing her on the leveled edge. where had I gone wrong the streets had almost no secrets that weren't easily found and were not exploited for that matter. Lily knew better then to show any key part to the mansion and valued her life considering Izzy's other side and Ky's own temper. She could only sigh deeply as she stared down at the places near to the mansion, blank to everything. Not even aware of the blood trickling from her palms against the edge.
