"Blah Blah full sentence blah" : foreign language i.e. not English

There were days where Allen sat and thought about his years with Cross. And then subsequently shuddered.

The man had taught Allen a few things other than how to make some quick money, cheat, and talk his way around those indebted to. Cross graciously taught his dear apprentice how to charm the ladies. Oh yes, Allen could do anything his master did, but he never wanted too. What kind of gentleman would he be if he turned out like his womanizing sex obsessed master?

He reminisced over his push ups on that titled chair of his. That way if he got lost in the horrors of his time before the Order, he'd promptly fall off his chair.

It had been one of those reminiscing days when Komui called the exorcists to his office. When Allen entered he saw Komui trying to get support from a young noble. Trying was the keyword as the young lady seemed positively insulted. Allen deduced from the other exorcists attempts to sooth the young benefactress that they'd been called to help seal the deal.

With a silent sigh, Allen walked forward, glad for the fact he was looking somewhat nice with his dress shirt, slacks, and red ribbon.

With practiced ease, Allen stopped in front of the woman with a charming smile. She had an accent which, with all the traveling Allen had done with his master, he'd deduced to being a French one. He bowed slightly, leaving his right hand open for hers, "Good morning my lady. I'm pleased to make your acquaintance."

With a smile, the young lady placed her hand in Allen's awaiting one. "Charmed, I'm sure. These exorcists might have caused me to leave with a bitter taste in my mouth. My name is Adelaide, what is yours?"

Kissing Adelaide's hand, Allen rose to his full height, "Allen Walker. Now, may I ask why you've graced us with your beauty?"

Giggling, Adelaide's hand returned to her side, "Why, Mr. Walker, you flatter me too much. I'm here on Mr. Lee's request. He wished for benefactors to help the chosen children of God."

"Ah, I see," Allen nodded, ignoring Lavi's quiet excitement in the background, "What is your judgment, Lady Adelaide?"

"Well, now that I know this Black Order houses a gentlemen such as yourself, I believe that I can indeed offer my services." Adelaide smiled, "Please teach Mr. Lee how to converse with us nobles. I'd hate to see the Order in which your honorable name's attached to belittled. Now, can you be a doll and relay this to Mr. Lee? My English skills are very weak, and I'd hate for him to get the wrong message."

"Ah, I'm not as honorable as you say, my Lady. But I shall do my best to live to your expectations." Allen then turned to Komui with a dry look in his eyes, but a chipper expression and voice, "You almost caused Lady Adelaide to leave in a foul mood. Thankfully, she's willing to help the order now that I've intervened. Please learn how to talk to nobles Komui."

Nodding, Komui offered his apologies to the benefactress, before pulling out the papers written in perfect French and handing them to her.

When Adelaide left, she cheerfully said her farewells to Allen, before following her guards to the carriage. Allen, who had been sitting only in the best posture, slumped down on the couch when it was clear the young Lady wouldn't return that day.

Lavi was the first to jump into action, "I didn't know you had that in you Beansprout!"

"It's Allen." The exhausted whitette bit out, "Master taught me."

"General Cross did?" Lenalee asked, "I thought he was only a womanizer?"

"Oh, he is." Allen groaned, "He had all kinds of women after him. So he taught me 'out of the kindness of his heart' how to properly treat nobles so I wouldn't insult them away from his goals."

"So that's how you knew how to deal with Lady Adelaide?" Komui chirped

"Yes, and the fact that we stayed in France for several months." Allen smiled a bit before continuing, "I didn't have to go scavenge for money in that time! It was so nice."

The next time Allen stumbled upon Komui accidentally insulting a young noble, he actually knew the young woman. The exorcists had been called to Komui's office once again, and Allen sighed when he caught a sliver of a elegant dress through the slightly ajar door. When he entered, Allen was surprised to see a childhood friend. The young lady, however, looked at him with the utmost disgust at first before recognizing him.

"Allen!" Beaming, she ran to him, wrapping her arms around him in a warm hug.

Taking a step back, Allen returned her hug. "Hey there Lady Katelyn."

Releasing Allen, Katelyn placed a kiss on his cheek, "You're not allowed to be respectful to me! We've been over this!"

Patting her head, Allen rolled his eyes, "Yes, because I always listen to you."

Smacking his arm, Katelyn pouted, "Well you should!"

"Ah, but wouldn't that been I have to be respectful to you?" Allen inquired with a smug look.

Placing her hands on her hips, Katelyn scolded, "Listen here Allen Walker, don't you talk smack to me."

"Well Katelyn Fox-Strangways," Allen rallied, "maybe you shouldn't leave openings."

Katelyn opened her mouth to retort, but Lavi interrupted, "Hey Allen, is that your girlfriend?"

Allen gave Lavi dry look, while Katelyn grimaced, "Allen is like my brother. Just the idea makes me sick to my stomach."

"Well, you're no walk in the park either Kate." Allen replied, "Now why are you even here?"

"I can't visit my own brother?" Katelyn demanded.

"You didn't know I was even here." Allen gave her a look.

Katelyn looked away from Allen, "Well, you see Al, I'm a noble so Mr. Lee asked me to be a benefactor of the church."

"Did he insult you by accident?" Allen asked, "'Cause he does that sometimes."

"Accident?" Katelyn repeated shrilly, whirling around to face her self-proclaimed brother, "That was an accident?"

"Very likely. Komui's not mean spirited unless you try to 'infect' his precious sister Lenalee." Allen shrugged, "But now that you know I'm here you're going to sign the paper anyway."

"Stop knowing me so well!" Katelyn demanded, "It's not fair! I still haven't beaten your poker face!"

"Ah, sorry, that's my power." Allen joked, grabbing the pile of documents from Komui. "Now sign these and go home, I'm sure your mother is waiting."

"Yeah she's waiting." Katelyn grumbled signing the documents, "Waiting for your deadbeat womanizing Master that is."

Raising an eyebrow, Allen followed up, "But I thought she kicked us out because Master is a 'deadbeat, drunken, womanizer who pushes his debts onto his poor apprentice.'"

"She didn't say that last part you block head." Katelyn sighed, "But she really misses him. Get him to go to her or something."

"I haven't seen him since he left me in India." Allen muttered. "How am I supposed to find him?"

"When you find him," Katelyn continued, "Come visit with him. I do not want to be alone when they get friendly."

Allen walked Katelyn to her carriage when all was said and done, before coming back to Komui. "Ah, can I get a few weeks to find Master?"

"Yes!" Komui agreed with a glint on his glasses, "And bring him here so I can scold him!"

Allen returned in five days. Walking into the exorcist meeting that had just been called. "Hey, I'm not too late to the meeting am I?"

"Allen." Komui smiled creepily, "Where's Cross?"

"He'll be here soon enough." Allen shrugged off his coat.

"What did you do?" Lenalee asked

Smirking, Allen replied in an all too happy voice, "I threatened to put all his debts onto him like they should be."

Within a week, Cross was storming past everyone in the main branch. Allen was in the cafeteria with Lavi, Lenalee, Kanda, Komui, and Johnny. So he was unprepared when Cross walked into the room with a low seething "Idiot apprentice."

The others watched in shock as Allen dropped his food, looked at Cross, and then bolted. Cross followed with angry insults before a thump was heard and Allen was dragged back into the cafeteria.

Sitting on the floor where his Master left him, Allen growled out "Shitty Master."

"Now, now Allen," Cross began menacingly, "what did I hear about those debts?"

"Well, Master you know," Allen retorted, "that was a plot to get you here. Komui wanted to see you as does a certain English noblewoman."

"Lilanna huh." Cross muttered, "Pack your things boy, we're going on a mission."

Rolling his eyes, Allen stood and dusted himself off before returning to the last of his food. Komui stepped in, "Now General Cross, I can give you a mission if that's what you want. But you have to return this time!"

Allen's laughing and Cross's smirk only served as Komui's answer. Turning to Allen, Komui whimpered, "Allen!"

"Sorry Komui, but Master only returns when he wishes." Allen explained, "He left me in India before so I wouldn't get your hopes up."

And so begins another series. Well. I shall try to update sometimes.
