Welcome to Gaia! ::

If you knew the Xanis brothers, you would know that while they were close, they were also drastically diffrent. They looked similar, had similar..hobbies, but, their personalities were polar opposites. And if you knew Elzo, you knew his temper. And if you know Marlo, you knew he was usually calm and collected.
However.
Like all siblings, they would clash, sometimes resulting in more then just verbal punches. Occasionally, they would get physical.
And today, that looked to be the case.
"I SWEAR, YOU ARE THE MOST MORONIC MAN I KNOW!"
"MORON? SHUT UP MARLO YOU'RE THE ONE WHO DIDN'T PARK THE BIKE RIGHT!"
"EXCUSE ME FOR FOLLOWING YOUR ADVICE ELLI!"
"DON'T START s**t WITH ME BRO!"
"SORRY, I COULDN'T HEAR YOU ELLI!"

The brother's yelling was reaching it's peek. A few onlookers outside of the mall were watching, almost hoping for a fight. Parents with their children ushered their offspring past, trying to prevent their wandering eyes. Mall security just watched, not wanting to get involved. Besides, it was outside of the mall. Not their problem.

Mid argument, both brothers stopped the second they heard the tones of reprimand. Slowly, almost cartoon like, their heads turned to face down what they both saw as a cute girl. With a very upset scowl on her face. Marlo frowned and Elzo's jaw dropped. They had just gotten told.
By a girl.

"Stay outta this babe. My bro's got a freaking ticket and is blaming me. Not MY fault you park like some retard."
Marlo's face turned red, angry at his brother's accusation, especially in front of such a cute girl. "YOU said to park here. YOU said the sign was 2 hour parking. YOU. I drove, you directed. Clearly, it's your fault for picking it in the first place!" Marlo's voice was raised with each syllable. Elzo's face reddened in turn, at least before he grabbed his brother and put him in headlock.
"TAKE THAT BACK MARLO!"
"ARG! YOU DAMN BRUTE!" Marlo tried to wiggle his way out, but only succeeded in sending them both to the ground, kicking.

The strange girl's outburst cause the brothers to stop their flailing and just looked at her. And ponder the fact she had just called them horrible little monsters. Like their mother.
She sounded just like their MOM.
THEIR MOM.

It was like all of their childhood flashed though their eyes as both brothers immediately scrambled apart. The very notation of a mother like voice sent them into a state of utter fear. One never crossed Mrs. Xanis. EVER. And both brothers, after years of living with their mother, had developed an auto reaction to such a mothering tone.
Stop whatever you were doing, and APOLOGIZE. Even if you had no idea what you did. But for the love of god, apologize.
"SORRY." Both brothers looked almost afraid of this mystery girl. Memories of their mother's wrath had made them obedient when it came to such a tone, even when it came from strangers. That was how well Mama Xanis 'taught' her sons.

Both brothers were still a bit on auto-pilot. At least, partially. Neither of them wanted to get the beat down that they usually associated a mother's anger with. Or something. Overall, it was pretty darn awkward. They had freaked over a girl roughly their own age.

But, she DID sound like a mom.

"He started it!" Elzo pointed a finger at his brother, who just look at him as if he was insane. Marlo, choosing to ignore the statement, (which was a lie. Elzo started it.), got up and dusted himself off before facing the...mother in training? Whatever.
"It's 250 bucks. It's not like we can't pay it. But...it's the principle. Elzo told me to park here not telling me it was 30 minute parking as opposed to two hour parking. The end result is that I got a ticket. One which he is a t fault for."
"BULL s**t! IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU PARKED THEIR!"
"Actually it is." Marlo hissed as Elzo scrambled back up, looking ready for round 2.

Marlo had to admire both her courage for getting in between him and Elzo, and her logic for pointing out the futility of physical aggression. Elzo on the other hand, just knew that he couldn't hit a girl. So beating up Marlo would have to wait until later. Like, the later when he was asleep later.
"He still started it." Elzo muttered under his breath. Marlo just glared.

"We'll just get our folks to pay for it. We'll say it's for school books or something. Wouldn't have been the first time." Crossing his arms, Marlo went and leaned on his motorcycle. A reminder that He was Elzo's ride. And if he wanted to get back to the dorms on time, he better suck up.

Elzo was doing everything his counselor had told him to do when he got mad. He counted to ten, he was breathing deep, he was...well...screw it it wasn't working at all. The girl. Yes. Focus on her. She wasn't some whiny little brat of a brother. Yeah. Non stressful. "Hurm....Yeah. I'm Elzo. Elzo Xanis. The much better looking and all around smart of the Xanis brothers." He offered her a grin and his hand.

Marlo just inclined his head in a bow. "Marlo. Thank you for breaking us apart. I don't think Elzo listens to reason and logic."
"YOU SHUT IT."
Marlo smirked. "Not to mention for all his 'looks' and 'wit' he's a still a brute."

Elzo smirked, thinking he had gotten her attention. "Heh...well. We get along well, except when stuff like this goes down. Marlo's pretty mellow and stuff. I think this is our first fight in..." Marlo grinned. "Three weeks and 4 days." "How do you know that off of the top of your head?" Elzo's face became scrunched in curiosity. "Knack for numbers...and when you last put me in one of those WWE type holds. They tend to leave a lasting impression." Elzo grinned as Marlo smirked. Really, they didn't stay mad at each other for very long.

"Anyway, Nice to meet you Miss Namid." Marlo gave her a Shakespearian bow. Not one to be upped, Elzo grabbed her hand and laid a kiss on it. "We owe you our thanks for preventing our foolish behavior." That sounded...fancy, right?

To be honest, Marlo was a bit surprised at his brother's tone. It was most unlike him. Not to mention it was, dare he say it, somewhat eloquent? Hm...Maybe Elzo was getting a few brain cells. Or he was just really desperate to impress this girl in particular. "Wow Elzo, didn't know you could be polite." Marlo smirked. Elzo just grinned. "Only to the cutest of girls." He gave Aurora a wink.

"You to to Meadowview? Or are you of the exotic Crystal sort?" Yup. Elzo liked her. Marlo almost felt like laughing. His brother rarely showed a real interest in girls. Especially when they showed interest back. Maybe he was...hmm...well...He did call Marlo a retard. So, this would be slightly deserved. "We're Hillworth boys though. Sure you want to let us know your origins?" he smirked as Elzo glared at him.
