Kaname sat across from Lisa at the table, watching as she slowly ate everything that he had made for her.
The omelet, the cut up bowl of fruit, and of course (the exception) of the charred and unrecognizable- and possibly unhealthy for any living thing's consumption- plate of toast that she was currently poking at with her fork as if she were worried the burnt pieces of bread would somehow come to life and seek revenge.
His lips twitching in amusement as she continued to poke at the bread every few seconds or so, Kaname could barely contain his amusement as she played with what was left of her breakfast.
"What are you doing?" He finally asked, his tone tinged with some unplaceable emotion as his dark eyes sparkled with mischief.
"I wouldn't swear to it. But-" She started to say before pausing as a piece of the burnt bread brushed up against one of her hands causing her to jump and accidentally throw her fork. Which sailed past Kaname's seat, missing him by a mile, thank god. And went straight into the dorm's collective living room and nearly took out his friend Ichijo if the sound of his alarmed shriek was anything to go by at all.
Both Kaname and Lisa cringed and peered out of the dining room to see the young noble floundering to pull his shirt sleeve free of the fork embedded in the wall.
Both vampire and human cringed as the noble fairly ripped his shirt sleeve to pieces before finally managing to free himself.
During which time Kaname slowly turned his head back to look at Lisa's horrified expression and had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep from chuckling as his long time friend yanked the fork from the wall and marched towards where they were. Either intending to give the stray eating utensil back, or maybe intending to commit murder with it as Lisa looked at him and mouthed.
This is your fault. You and that damn toast!
Causing him to cock his head a little bit as he smiled at her at the exact moment Ichijo entered the room practically brandishing the fork like a sword and he growled out, "Alright, who did it? Which one of you tried to murder me with this- this monstrosity?!"
His eyes with from Kaname to...good god, the girl was up and on her feet. All the anger of nearly dying by fork tin left him as he stared at her. He had been aware that she had awoken the other day, but she was supposed to still be weak and bedridden.
So to say that he was shocked at seeing her outside of her assigned bedroom was a little bit of an understatement. Especially since she was still technically on bed rest.
"Y-Y-You're up." He stammered out as the girl cringed a bit and gave him a tight lipped smile as she reached out and very slowly took the fork from his hand and laid it down on the table next to her plate of burnt toast before he could even seem to register the action.
Turning to Kaname he pointed at her.
In a rude way that had the vampire king reaching out to forcibly pull his hand back down to his side. "You're being rude Ichijo. Lisa was just finishing up her breakfast." Kaname said smoothly. Not bothering to mention that it was her fault that he had almost been taken out by flying silverware.
Not that Ichijo would have noticed if he had right now anyways. He was too busy pulling up a chair and sitting down in the empty space between Kaname and Lisa so that he could introduce himself and speak to her a little bit.
"Hello," He said in his friendliest tone as he seated himself. "My name is Ichijo. I'm the night class president's secretary/best friend. How are you today?" He said politely, giving her his nicest fanged smile.
Kaname watched Lisa as she glanced at him, looking a little bit lost. Almost as if she didn't know what to do. But that couldn't be right. After all, all people knew how to introduce themselves. Especially those with manners.
And if there was one thing that he was sure of after observing Lisa during breakfast it was the fact that she had manners. Which despite her earlier playfulness with her food, was on par with his and every other vampire noble in the night class. Something that she must have spent countless hours working on as a child.
And yet...she looked completely at a loss as to what to do right now. So Kaname got up out of his seat and walked over to her and very gently told her to introduce herself to his friend while he cleared the table.
He picked up the small pile of dirty dishes and walked over to the sink where he placed all of them but the toast- he laid that on the counter since he had no idea what to do with the damn stuff- and listened as Lisa politely, and almost shyly introduced herself to his friend.
Feeling that her discomfort for the moment had been averted, he then walked back to the table and sat back down so that he could listen in on the conversation.
"So how are you liking it here?" Ichijo asked curiously.
"It's...okay." It was about as much of an reply as Kaname expected from her seeing as this was her first time outside of her room.
However his friend obviously didn't wish to take her replay as it was. He wanted to know if anything bothered her. Did she like her room? Did she need anything aside from the things that Kaname had given him a list of?
And as soon as he asked her all of those questions, Lisa had to bite back the response that she needed a loin tamer. Someone who could stand firmly between her and them if things got out of control.
However as soon as she started to say this- she realized how insulting it would be for them to hear and so she bit her tongue until the urge to say it passed and then simply said that everything was fine. Because she didn't truly know how to respond.
Ichijo's smile faltered a little bit as he looked at his king, his gaze questioning as Kaname looked at him for a moment and then back at Lisa before he said, "I'm planning a trip into town in the next few days. When you're a bit stronger. You need clothing and other things that you have yet to get. So I felt that taking you out for a bit would be necessary. If you think you can handle it, that is."
Lisa blinked at him, but other wise simply nodded her head in understanding before saying. "If you aren't too busy today- we could go once I've changed." Kaname opened his mouth to tell her that that wasn't a wise thing to do, her body was still all battered and bruised. Being on her feet for an extended period of time could prove to be painful for her. Even more so that it was now. However she cut him off at the knee so to speak. "We don't have to stay out long. I know what I need and I'm fairly quick about getting things whenever I go out. So at the most we could be out for an hour maybe two before I tire."
Kaname thought over her words for a moment, carefully weighing the pros against the cons before sighing and running one hand through his wildly tousled collarbone length dark hair.
"Very well. But I want you to bring some of you're medicine with us just in case."
She nodded her head and Kaname stood up and looked at Ichijo as he too got to his feet. "I want no less than four others with us to help keep an eye on Lisa and protect her if we should encounter any level-E's."
Ichijo's eyes flashed scarlet for a second as he nodded his head and then ran out of the room to gather Kaname's guards.
