Mia, you're on!
Mia: Oh-uh... Uh... Okay. Uhm, Albino does not own Golden Sun, Djinni, or any characters.
Moments later, the Jupiter Adept was grinning hugely as he slid down the banister, yelling wildly.
"Yahooo!" he screamed, legs splayed out, both hands on the banister to steady himself.
Felix looked up from his book on the table, then glanced calmly back at his book. Then he double-took, tossed his book down, and got up rapidly. "IVAN-" he began, but the Jupiter Adept, still sliding down the banister, silenced him.
"Jenna's sleeping! If you make too much noise, do you want the inn to be burnt down?" he taunted with a grin.
Felix scowled, then crossed his arms. "Fine," he hissed quietly. "What the heck are you doing, then?"
"Having fun," Ivan replied as he slowed his descent then leapt off the banister before he hit the knob at the end, relieved that he didn't need Mia to apply any healing Psynergy.
"That, and," Ivan said with a huge grin, "I wanted to see if the others were still down here; I wanted to figure out the room arrangements."
"Thinking of sharing a room with Jenna?" Felix growled.
Ivan immediately became his normal, meek self once he heard this, eyes growing huge. "Er..."
Felix instantly growled and drew his sword, irritated. "You'd better take that back--"
"Dear...! Felix, stop that this instant!" It happened to be Mia that had come along, and she was now shaking a finger at Felix, the other hand on her hip. Her eyes were darkened in anger at him for threatening Ivan.
Felix laughed sheepishly, then sheathed his sword. "Hmph. He wants to share the room with Jenna..." Felix growled. Mia sighed. "Felix, the others and I... We, er, don't quite think you should share the room with them," she admitted sheepishly.
"Why not?" Jenna's overprotective brother snapped.
"Because, well, we're a little afraid... That you'll eventually act like a guard dog to her. That you'll snap at everyone and everything that comes within ten feet of her." Mia chuckled sheepishly, then took a step backwards as he growled, rather like a guard dog.
Ivan could see where they got that belief from, yup. The Jupiter Adept frowned as he backed up as well, and then Felix sighed. "I'm sorry," he apologized. "You're right... But, don't let Issac share a room with her. Okay?"
"Don't worry," Mia replied with a smile. "I won't let him; he's sharing a room with Garet. We've already decided that."
Ivan's jaw dropped. That easily?!
"And I'm sharing a room with Sheba," Mia added. "But as seeing there are..."
Piers, Issac, Felix, Garet, and himself...
Sheba, Mia, and Jenna... Oy vey. Ivan shuddered. Four guys had to be spread out between two rooms, but only two girls could get one room to themselves, meaning one last room had to be shared by a boy and girl. Not good.
Hopefully, it would be Ivan himself; he knew that he was trustworthy. And his Mind Read ability came in handy sometimes.
The Juptier Adept slipped into the kitchen along with Mia and Felix. Poor Piers(also known as Picard, but he prefered 'Piers') was splayed out on the ground with a large bump on his head, and Sheba was standing over him, looking as if she'd been caught in the act, a frying pan in hands.
Garet and Issac were madly searching the cabients, apparently for the cookie jar as evident by Garet's constant mumbling of "Cookie... Cookie... Need... Cookie... Need sugar..." and Issac's eager "Cookiescookiescookiescookies!"
Mia blinked. Ivan groaned. And Felix looked as if he wanted to leave. "Uh... Now I see why we don't give them cookies," Mia muttered sheepishly before she walked up to Piers, waving her hand in front of his face. Nope, out cold. She sighed. "...Douse." Suddendly, drops of water dropped out of the air onto Piers' face.
A few moments later, a very distraught Piers was hiding under the table from an angry Sheba who still wielded her frying pan. Garet had gotten a large bump to the head, and had been knocked out when he'd ventured as to tease her that she should use the frying pan in battle instead of her staff.
Ivan personally agreed, though he didn't dare to even think it--Sheba also possessed the Mind Read ability.
"So, who should take Jenna's room?" Ivan asked. It was either him, or Piers, that had to share a room with Jenna. Felix would share a room with whoever wasn't sharing the room with Jenna. Rooms sure were confusing...
"Anyway, why can't you share a room with Jenna?" Sheba asked Mia. "Well, I..."
Ivan spoke up, "It's probably the problem of her being a Mars Adept and Mia being a Mercury Adept."
Felix was a Venus Adept, so if he ended up with a Mars Adept or Mercury Adept, that would be no problem. Issac was a Venus Adept as well, so being with Garet, a Mars Adept, was no problem. Mia, being a Mercury Adept, had no qualms about sharing a room with Sheba, a Jupiter Adept. Yup. It was the problem of contrasting elements... Although why it hadn't occurred to Mia to let Sheba share a room with Jenna wasn't clear to Ivan.
Then again, maybe Mia didn't want to share a room with anyone other than Sheba; she probably didn't trust them that much, not after Issac accidentally walked in with a toothbrush and toothpaste in his hands, thinking her room was the bathroom. When she had begun to get out of her hot overcoats. Not a good idea.
And that morning had been the first time that they had faced Mia's wrath. Not pretty, but at least she wasn't as frightening as Jenna. Or Sheba, for that matter--or Felix. Garet was too stupid, and
Ivan shrugged. "So since Piers is a Mercury Adept, I should share a room with Jenna, whatnot with the conflicting elements." Felix growled, but was silent otherwise. "Okay, then it's settled," Mia said softly. Issac stuck his head in at that moment, and muttered, "so how'd you know it was Alex, anyway, Ivan?"
"Well... I... mind-read her." "Without her permission?" "Hey!" Ivan shouted at Garet, irritated. Issac and Garet, sugar-high on cookies, were a little... unnerving. They were so annoying. And wickedly fast, as if he'd used Luff on them.
But Garet had disappeared out of view before Ivan could even get out another word, and he scowled, irritated.
The Wind Adept sighed, and began heading towards the stairs until Piers summoned the courage to speak up. "E-Even if Jenna's a Mars Adept," he began, then his tone got stronger as he went on, "I do think, if she can't walk, someone stronger..." He threw a meaningful glare at Ivan, implying that the Jupiter adept wasn't powerful.
"...should share a room with her, to help her walk."
"What are you saying!" Ivan snapped. "The arrangements have already been--"
But he was cut off by Mia and Felix agreeing. "Well, he does have a point..." "And Piers is stronger; I'd rather have the chances of my sister dropped be less..."
Ivan, by now, was frowning. Stupid Piers. "Ah, but remember that mishap earlier?" the Jupiter Adept suggested, grinning. That earned a glare from Piers.
"Well..." Mia and Felix(who were the ones who arranged the rooms the most often, indeed) muttered, looking uncertain.
"Oh," Sheba said softly, "Just let them figure out it themselves... They're the ones fighting over her, anyway."
"...Fighting?" Felix muttered supsiciously, glaring at Piers and Ivan, who both gulped.
When the Venus Adept tried to glare at them again, they were gone. "Huh? Where'd they go?"
"To check on Jenna," Mia replied softly, now trying to get Garet and Issac to stop eating all the cookies. They weren't listening, so Mia raised her staff...
