Chapter 10: Be VERY careful what you say around People!
The next morning James was up and out the door very early. He hit the road, and went out and did what he was supposed to do: Sell and set up DSL lines and connections. When people requested a date for connection installation, he set the dates up with them, although he did assist a few people who wanted to go DSL right away. Eventually, he reached Han Ha High School, where the Ronin's attended classes. He talked with the principal, and left him with literature about the different speed levels that were available. He also managed to talk to him about upgrading the hardware that the school had as well. When everything was done for the day, he headed back to the mansion.
As he carefully put his material up in the manor house, he was surprised to see Twyla at Mia's computer! She was carefully going through several of the disks Mia had out, as well as a few others as well. "Twyla, what are you doing?" he asked quietly, not wishing to disturb her if at all possible.
Twyla's head shot up from the monitor. "OOPS! I was trying to help Mia out with some research into your armor. Mia said that she had to work late at the college, and that there was a possibility that she might have to leave in the next couple of weeks on an assignment for them. So, I told her that I would help out with the research" she told him.
James nodded in appreciation, and moved over to help her organize the disks, when the sound of a door opening and closing could be heard, followed by the voices of Cye and Kento, in a heated discussion, as they approached the computer area.
"It's my turn to work with him! I'll get him working with the weights in no time! He'll be a lot stronger with my help" Kento exclaimed, not realizing that he could be heard all over the mansion.
"Strength is fine, but you also need agility to be able to lift and move some of those weights Kento. If I can work with him, he'll be a lot more flexible and have more endurance. That way, he'll be in better shape to work with you and the weights" Cye calmly countered.
As the argument continued, James and Twyla started glaring at the two Ronin's, especially Kento, who didn't seem to notice that his voice was carrying all over the house, compared to Cye's calm and rational tone.
Finally, Twyla had had ENOUGH! "KENTO REI FAUN! Either you calm down, or I will lock you up in a room, with a refrigerator full of food, and only ROWEN to prepare it for you!" she pointedly told him, with James backing her up with a glare that would melt steel!
"But . . . But" Kento tried to explain, but to no avail. Twyla had laid down the law, and it was going to be Cye's turn to work with James next.
"I'll see you after dinner James. We'll do some stretching and some aerobics. Nothing major, but enough to get you in a better body tone for when Kento work with you" he told the Ronin of Knowledge.
