The carriage arrived at the manner and came to a stop. Shon climbed out and began to help Valiant & Vaintyne get their luggage as Adam stopped next to the carriage with the two horses. At that moment a young women around the age of 16 with magenta hair, bright blue eyes and dark skin came out. "Oh, Master Shon! You are home, did you have a nice trip." She asked. By the way she spoke Adam and the others could tell she was from India. Shon nodded as he passed her but then stopped and turned back to the group. "Everyone this is Sasha Shalom, She's one of my... I don't want to say servant... Ah!... No I lost it...um..." He tried to introduce her but couldn't find a better way of saying she worked for him. Sasha laughed. "What he is trying to say is I am one of the people who work here. I help take care of Miss Shona when she is at home." The girl explained. "It is very nice to meet you all." She said with a polite bow. Adam just stared at her. *My gosh! What's with all the bowing!* He thought but still bowed to the girl. He looked over at Namine who looked as though she was going to be sick. Adam smiled. "I know the bowing is a bit annoying but that's no reason to look sick." He joked. The brunet shook her head. "No... It's not that... Bathroom!" Was all she said. Shon had just pulled the last of the luggage out of the carriage then looked at her. "Sasha please take Miss Namine inside, she doesn't look very well." He asked and Sasha nodded and led Namine inside. Shon then whistled and two boys came out.
One had dark skin and dark brown hair he was wearing glasses and eating a banana. The other had dark blue hair and yellow eyes. "You called Shon?" The blue haired boy asked.
Shon nodded. "Riku, I need you and Sanjit to help Valintyne and Valiant take our luggage inside. He said and turned back to the carriage and pulled out a sleeping Shona then turned to Adam. "After I have Shona squared away I can take you to where you and Hope will be staying." He said with a smile. "Are you sure? We can just stay in a hotel." Adam said as Hope climbed out. Shon shook his head. "Nonsense. I have already set a place up." He said and took Shona inside after a few minutes he came back out as Sanjit and Riku had taken the last of the luggage except for Namine, Hope and Adam's. "Alright fallow me." He said as he got back in the carriage and Hope climbed on Sugo.
Shon took them to a quiet little area on his land that was 50 acers with a lake. Sitting by the lake side was a small little cabin sitting under a large oak tree. The house had a kitchen, living room dining room and a downstairs bathroom and office, four rooms with bath rooms upstairs,, an attic and a basement. Outside the house it had a porch going all the way around with a porch swing in front facing the fields and one in the back facing the lake. Attached to the house was a dock leading to the waters edge of the lake with a small fishing boat.
As soon as he saw the place Adam immediately fell off of Little Sister passing out. Shon claimed out of the carriage and saw him on the ground. "Adam!" He said and ran over to him. Shon and the driver brought Adam inside and after he woke up Shon got him some worm tea. "What happened?..." The 18 year old asked. Hope grinned. "You passed the fudge out!" She said with a small giggle. "Why?" Adam asked. "You saw the patch of land I set up for you." Shon said handing him the tea. "Why!? Adam asked again. "It's bigger than ours." Hope answered as if it was obvious. "Oh... I can barely take care of the land I have! I don't know if I can take care of this! Why would you give me so much land!?" Adam asked starting to freak out. Shon blinked. "Woah, calm down! I wanted to make you feel at home by giving you enough land for your horses to roam on and you won't have to take care of the land I have someone to do that already." He said trying to calm him down. Hope raised an eyebrow. "Wait, you didn't know about the horses until we left Village Acres, so how could you set all this up before you met us?" She asked in suspicion. Shon blinked again. "Well I did look up your brother." He answered. "Well, someone's done their research." Adam said standing up. "Well... I uh... wanted to know who was going to help my sister that's all!" Shon said waving his hands in defense as Hope glared at him with a suspicious look. "Hope stop it. We've met worse." Adam said looking at his sister. "OK!" Hope said and stood up with a huge grin on her face. Blinking slitely, Shon sighed and stood as well.
After bringing in Adam and Hopes's luggage they went back to the manner where Valiant, Valintyne, Namine and Sasha were waiting. When they came to a stop Namine frowned. "Where were y'all?" She asked with a small pout. Shon opened the door for her and the twinns. "Sorry, I had to help Adam and Hope get settled in... Well after Adam fainted of course." He said with a small grin. "Did not!" The young doctor said and glared at the sandy blonde boy. "You so did!" Hope said with a laugh. Adam glared at her too. "No Hope, I didn't faint! ... I just had a miner black out..." Adam said trying to deny the truth. "Sure you did..." Both Shon and Hope said in annoyed unison as Namine and the twins climbed in the carriage. After saying good by to Sasha they headed off for the Phantomhive manner.
(Phantomhive Manner...)
Sebastian made it back to the manor safely, Ciel still in his arms. "Are you alright young master?" The butler asked noticing Ciel's tight grip as he came to a stop and put the boy down. Ciel let go of Sebastian and straightened his jacket. "I'm fine. You just run too fast that's all. I hope you didn't sprain an ankle." The Phantomhive said sarcastically. Sebastian just smiled. "It is fine my lord. I have run thousands of miles with out a single mishap." He said dismissively to the boy's sarcasm. Rolling his eyes, Ciel nodded and looked around. "Are they here yet?" He asked almost sounding like a little kid waiting to get a present from visiting grandparents. He looked around and saw Grey standing under a tree. "Oh, they're in London but they made a pit stop somewhere first." She answered his question. And at these words Ciel sighed. "Fine." He said and started pacing. His heels clacking on the ground. Grey leaned over to Sebastian. "Um, isn't he going to go inside?" She asked. The butler looked at her. "What will he tell everyone. They think he's dead." Sebastian muttered, Suddenly an idea came to him, looking at Ciel, he walked over to him. "My Iord, Do you think you could pass yourself off as your own cousin of sorts... You could be a long lost third cousin of the family and if you want, I could tell people I'm your father, Long lost cousin of Vincent... Of course despite this charade, I would still serve you as always." He offered.
Grey shook her head. "Can't you just say he faked his death to find out who killed the Queen or something?" She asked not really in the mood for some sappy Disney like drama. Ciel glared at his butler. "Sebastian this is my sister. I thought she was dead. If you had a sister who you thought was dead for this long would you lie to her?" He asked crossing his arms. Sebastian shook his head, "I didn't mean people you care for, I mean lie to the yard and other such people who won't notice its really you." He reinterred his suggestion. Grey rolled her eyes. "No! That's just been done WAY to many times before! You should go with what I said and say you faked your death for a case or something." She suggested again. "I'm not coming out about being alive at all!" Ciel said glaring at both of them. Grey shook her head. "Ok, but what about 'him'? 'He' didn't even know you were alive at all when you came back 3 years ago." she said putting her hands on her hips.
Sebastian was about to ask who 'he' was when suddenly a carriage pulled up. "Him who?" Ciel asked and Grey face palmed. "Teal." She said plainly hoping he would get it but then noticed the carriage. "Better yet look behind you." She said pointing to it. The young Phantomhive blinked as he came to a realisation. "You mean to tell me that Shonathon Kaizer is bringing my sister here?" He asked surprised turning around as the carriag door opened. That's when Shon steped out and began to help Namine out. He turned to see Ciel standing there. "... It can't be..." He muttered in both shock and surprise. Ciel covered his mouth and hid his face in Sebastian's side like he used to do to Vincent. "Oh god." He muttered. Namine stopped dead, her eyes wide as Adam got out and stood on the opposite side of her as Shon. Tears filled the female Phantomhive's eyes and turning swiftly she threw up... All over Adam. The 18 year old gasped in surprise as Hope climbed out of the carriege and looked at her brother then almost fell over laughing, once she calmed Hope turned to Ciel and Sebastian and raised an eyebrow. "Who's the hot guy?" She asked pointing at the butler and even though he was concerned with the vomit all over him, Adam still managed to give her a disapproving look.
Shon slowly walked over a little unsteady. He couldn't believe it, not only was his friends sister still alive but so was his best friend! His head was spinning, this was a lot to take in. "...Ci... Ciel?..." He asked before he literally and promptly passed out from the shock. Valintyne and Valiant, who had just climbed out of the carriage saw him fall and immediately freaked. "Shon!" They both yelled and ran over to him. Ciel looked to see him out cold and covered his mouth then looked up to see his sister and his uncovered eye teared up. "Nami..." He whispered. Namine's eyes teared up as she looked at her brother. He seemed so different. He looked pretty much the same but there was a differentness about him that made her heart skip a beat. "Ciel...? What...? How...?" She tried to understand what was going on. "Yeah... Great. Just ignore the poor boy who just passed out." Grey muttered as the two Phantomhives just stared at each other.
It was tacking everything to keep Ciel from running to his long lost sister. "Nami!" He said and paled. He felt his legs grow weak so he held onto Sebastian for support. Finally, Adam ran to Shon and checked if he was allright as Namine looked at Ciel who was staring at her and suddenly she realized that her scars were showing. "Oh god..." She said and with that, she hurried back into the carriage, shutting the door behind her. Ciel blinked and ever so slowly went to the carriage. "Nami?" He whispered knocking on the carriage door just like when they were kids and she was mad at him. Namine shook her head tears running down her cheeks. "No! I don't want you to see!" She said through the door. Ciel sighed. "Namine." He said in a stern voice worried she was hurt. "What don't you want me to see?" He asked in the same voice Vincent used when they were kids as well as the same one he uses in his work.
Grey face palmed. "Oh for crying out loud!" She said and walked over to the front door of the manner and knocked on it. A few minutes later, Tanaka answered the door and saw all the people out side. "My word. What's going on?" He asked. Grey took a deep breath and explained. "Well, it turns out that Namine Phantomhive is alive, Ciel Phantomhive came home to see if she was, the boy in teal found out they were both still alive and passed out, so Now those to look-alike kids are worried about him, Namine also has a lot of cuts on her and is now hiding in the carriage, oh and that guy got puked on... And his sister is laughing at him." She said then pointed to Adam and a giggling Hope. Tanaka nodded and while remaining calm walked passed Sebastian. "Good afternoon Sebastian would you help the young lord and his guests inside with their luggage?" He asked as if everything were still normal. "My lord allow me, why don't you go freshen up while I help Lady Namine." Tanaka said when he reached Ciel and gently pointed the boy to the manner. "Oh and you can fallow Sebastian, he'll show you to a guest room where Master Kaizer can rest then he'll show you to a room where you can get cleaned up." He said to Adam then turned back to the Carriage taking off his coat. "Come on out now Miss Namine, it's alright I have a jacket for you." Tanaka assured her. He did all this without a single thought... Like a boss! Ciel sighed and nodded. "Fine." He said sadly and followed Sebastian as Adam lifted Shon over his shoulder, being careful not to let the unconscious boy touch the puke that ran down his shirt then fallowed after Sebastian along with Hope and the twins.
Once they where inside, Namine poked her head out, snatched the jacket and put it on hurriedly. Then without thinking about it, she jumped out of the carriage, hugged Tanaka around the middle and cried. Tanaka waited for Namine to calm down as he stroked her hair. "There, there. It's alright now my lady." He comforted her. Namine nodded as she continued to cry. He still smelled the Same and looked pretty much the same... Oh how he reminded her of her parents. Finally, she calmed down enough for Tanaka to take her inside." The elder butler smiled and led her inside the manner.
Adam carried Shon inside and finding the sitting room, he set him on a couch. As Valintyne and Valiant fallowed him. "What now?" Adam asked looking at the twins "Well we get Shon to a room so he can rest, get you cleaned up and let Miss Namine catch up with her brother." Valiant said as Sebastian came in with the luggage. "Now then if you will kindly come with me I will show you to the guest rooms." The butler said gestating for them to him upstairs. Picking Shon back up off the couch he'd set him on, Adam went with Sebastian upstairs, the twins right by his and Grey fallowed them as they walked up the stairs but then stopped when they heard someone coming. "Sebastian? Is it really you!" A young boy with Blonde hair said as he ran down the hallway carrying a piano over his head. "WHAT THE HECK!" Grey, Hope, Valintyne and Valiant yelled when they saw him coming. Adam jumped back trying not to drop Shon as he avoided a collision with the unbelievably strong blonde. Sebastian stopped when he saw the boy. He also noticed another man with blond hair fallowing behind him. "Hello Bard, Finny." He said as the boy with the piano came to a stop.
At that moment Ciel came up the stairs and upon seeing the scene let out a sigh. "Finnian put the piano down." He ordered and Finny blinked then dropped it. "Master?... I can't believe it your really back!" He said running over to Ciel and giving him a big hug. Unfortunately When Finny had dropped the piano upon seeing the young lord, he'd dropped it on Bard's foot. "YAAAAHG! Finny!... Huh is that really the Master?" Bard asked and hopped over to them. As Grey tried not to laugh at his pain. The young noble stiffened at all of this. "Yes hello, now, Let go Finnian!" He ordered in his normal tone and Finny nodded then let him go. Standing straight, Ciel cleared his throat then glared at them. "That piano is coming out of your paychecks." He said and walked away. "Okay master!" Finny said happily. "Wait, we were getting paid!?" Bard asked realizing what Ciel had just said.
Namine came in with Tanaka and Bard began to feel like he was in love. "Wow... Who's she...?" He asked seeing how lovely the brunette was dispute all her scars. "I don't know but she sure is pretty." Finny commented. "Yeah, I'd cook food for her any day..." The chef said almost drooling. Seeing this, Ciel snapped his fingers. "She is my sister you idiots. Bard you cook for her and I'll kill you. You can't cook any better than I ever could." He said glaring at him. Finny smiledd and bowed to Namine. "It's nice to meet your acquaintance, Miss Namine." He said being nice. But seeing all the new people was a little overwhelming so Namine squeaked and hid behind Tanaka. "Oh look Fnnian, you scared her." Ciel said crossing his arms. Finny frowned. "Oh... sorry..." The gardener said looking down sadly.
Sebastian smiled at his master and couldn't help but think of the past and all the insanity that always seamed to be right around the corner. "So my lord, are we staying here then.?" He asked. Ciel sighed. "Might as well... And I was so liking France... Until they started asking about my eye patch..." He muttered then looked at the group and glared "Yes I'm alive, I have been sense the fire all those years ago. I'm fine and there. Happy? Here's the short tempered, short heel wearing, rich prat! Problems? Too bad deal with it." He said angrily as everyone just stared at him and Namine opened her eyes wide at the tone of Ciel's voice and with another squeak, she hid behind Tanaka further, if that was even possible. "You forgot short statured." Grey commented on the yong Earl's hight. Ciel just glared at her. Finny grinned. "Oh May-Rin will be so happy!" He said excitedly. "Yeah, she's at the store but she'll be back soon." Bard said thinking about the red haired maid/assassin. "If you'd like Sir, I could cook for Lady Namine. I do believe I still have some of Lady Kaizer's recipes that you and your sister enjoyed as kids." Tanaka offered. Ciel looked at the elder butler and nodded. "That's fine." He said then looked at Adam. "Are you going to put him in a bed or what?" He asked seeing that he was still carrying Shon. Adam blinked. "Oh, uh yeah... where can I put him?" He asked. Sebastian was about to lead him to a room when Hope spoke up.
"Adam, are we staying here or at Shon's place?" She asked. Adam shrugged as Namine ran and grabbed his arm... "HE'S STAYING!" Namine said loudly. Valiant blinked. "But miss Namine we need him back at Kaizer manner..." He said timidly. "Yeah, no offence but, did you forget why we went to his village in the first place?" Valintyne asked thinking about Shona because she wasn't sure if the female Phantomhive was. Ciel let out an exasperated sigh. "You all can stay here, now please Tanaka take Namine to her room so she can calm down and someone take Shonathon and the others to guest rooms. Finnan, Bard go do your job and don't reck my manor again." He said annoyed and rubbed his temples then looked at his so called chef. "Bard you feed them one of you burnt meals and I aware kill you." The boy said glaring at the man. Bard nodded.
As Bard and Funny left, Namine looked sadly up at Adam, Knowing he'd have to go to Shon's sooner or later. *Why am I so attached to him?* The Phantomhive thought. She couldn't help but ask herself what was so special about this man that she'd act like she was. Sure during that month with Adam she'd grown attached to him in a way that couldn't be explained and she knew for sure that she loved him but she wasn't sure 'how' she loveud him... Could it possibly not just be that she loved him but that she was 'in' love with him. Finally sighing, she hugged him, Making sure to avoid getting throw up on her and finally let Tanaka lead her away. The elder butler led the female Phantomhive to her old room. As Valiant and Valintyne fallowed Adam and Sebastian to a room so the doctor could put Shon in a bed and finally get cleaned up.
An hour later Tanaka had given Adam some of Vincent's old clothes to wear while his were being washed, Grey had gotten bored and left, Namine was in her room talking with Hope and her brother, Ciel of course was in his office and Valintyne and Valiant were waiting for Shon to wake up.
The sandy haired noble's eyes fluttered open. *Did I really faint?... Oh god how embarrassing...* He thought then sat up and looked around. He saw that Valiant was asleep on a sofa and was fidgeting in his sleep. Valintyne was reading a book by a book shelf but put it down when she saw him awake. "Are you alright?" She asked and walked over to him. Shon nodded. "Just remind me not to say anything more to Adam about him fainting." He said and the girl nodded.
In her room, Namine was getting worried about Shon so she forced Adam and Hope to go with her to check on him. They didn't have to walk far considering the brunette's room was right next door to the one he were in. Hope knocked on the door and waited for a few seconds then Valintyne answered it. "Hi. Come in." She said as she opened the door letting them in. "Are you okay Shon!?" Namine asked bursting into the room. Shon blinked. "Yes! I'm fine I'm just sorry you had to see me faint like that. Did I really see Ciel?" He asked looking up at her. Namine nodded, "Yeah..." She said looking at the door.
In his office, Ciel leaned his head in his hand. "Dear god." He muttered getting a headache from everything that's been going on. "Are you feeling okay my lord, do you need medicine?" Sebastian asked looking at his master. Ciel shook his head. "No, it's just a headache." He muttered rubbing his temples and the butler nodded. "So, when are you going to talk to your sister?" Sebastian asked looking at the young lord. "I don't know." He sighed. "I don't know if I want her to remember that I'm alive. I don't want her hurt." He said and stood up. "I'm going to see Shonathon. Please make something to drink that will be easy on his stomach." He said before leaving the room. Sebastian nodded and began doing as told.
Shon sat on his and looked around the room. "So where is he?" He asked. That's when Ciel walked to the room, took a breath and knocked on the door. "That's probably him now!" Namine said then walked over and opened the door... "Yep see? Right there..." Adam told him then walked over to Ciel. "Hello Sir Phantomhive, My Name is Adam Lee Stark and This is my sister Hope." He Said Ciel blinked for a moment. The man looked just like the angle Ash... But with blonde hair. Ciel shook the memories of the white haired butler out of his mind and nodded then bowed. "Earl Ciel Alexander Phantomhive. Welcome to my old manor." He said and stood up strait. He wanted to look to Namine but she told him not to when they first came. So he looked to Shonathon. The sandy blonde just looked at him as well. "Ciel?" He asked. How ever Ciel didn't walk in but stood in the doorway. "Hello Mr. Keizer." The young Phantomhive said after clearing his throat as Namine just stayed quiet and tried to back as far into the corner as she could trying not to let her brother see her scars. Shon blinked. *Mr. Kaizer?* He thought. "You've never called me that before." Shon said looking at the young brunette. "Well I have grown and we aren't as close as we were as children. "I'm also working on my people skills." Ciel said with a cough. Shon just stared at him. "But even our dad's addressed each other on a first name bases..." He said looking at the ground. Ciel sighed. "That's because they went to school together. I only saw you the few times I was healthy because my predecessors didn't want you or your family ill. Same reason Namine wasn't allowed to play with me when she wanted. I've also been accounted dead twice." He explained.
Namine stood there, kinda hoping Ciel would look at her or at least acknowledge her but still remained in the corner occasionally stepping out only to hide again. Hope saw this and sighed. *I really wish she'd make up her mind.* she thought. Then finaly, Namine suddenly stepped forward. "C- Ciel... Please..." She said as Shon looked at Ciel and stood up. "I see, well thank you for remembering to let me know you were still alive in the first place but I guess we're acquaintances instead of friends so I'll be taking my leave now." He said feeling offended then looked at Adam. "If you'd like you can stay a little while longer to see that Namine will be ok. And I'll send a ride back for you when you're ready." He offered. "Namine I'll see you later ok?" Shon asked with a smile. "Come along Valintyne and Valiant." He said to the twins and they fallowed him. Ciel closed his uncovered eye and reached his hand out by sense. "Shonathon. I'm sorry if that came around like being an arse." He whispered. "And Namine, You haven't told me I could look at you yet." He said reminding his sister of what she said when she locked herself in the carriage. Namine whimpered and sighed. "Ciel, please look at me..." She said quietly. She wasn't wearing a jacket any longer because she'd gotten to hot in it, so now When Ciel looked at her, he could see all the recently healed scars all down her arms and on her face from Jay. He could see she still looked the same from three years ago except for the signs of malnourishment and abuse but most of all, he could see the sad look in her eyes. "Oh Nami..." Whimpered.
Namine looked at him and finally having enough, she ran over and wrapped Ciel in a tight stiffened but hugged her back. "I missed you Namine." He whispered softly Namine tried not to cry and smiled as she hugged him tighter. "I missed you as well..." she said then let him go then went after their friend. "Shon... Please don't go..." Namine pleaded as she stopped him by the stairs. Shon sighed and turned to her. "I just don't know if I belong as a part of the group anymore..." He said looked at the ground as Ciel walked up. "Shon please. A lot has happened sense I met you last just let me explain before you think that." Ciel said standing next to his sister. Shon looked at them. "Ok..." He said then smiled as Namine gave Ciel another hug then looked at him. "Hurry and join the hug before he runs away and hides in his office..." She joked and Ciel chuckled. Shon just shook his head. "Somehow I doubt that he wants to hug me." He said with a smile Namine stopped hugging Ciel as Adam and Hope walked out to follow them. Namine gave Adam a nod toward Shon and immediately getting the message, Adam walked over grabbed Shon's wrist and without hesitation, dragged him over to Namine and Ciel. Shon blinked and looked at him. "You could have just asked." He said and looked at the young doctor.
Ciel sighed exasperatedly, "Shon... I just need time to sort everything okay? Can you give me that... " He asked and pulled him into their hug surprising the sandy haired boy as Namine crushed them in her embrace. After a few minutes Shown smiled and backed up. "OK but you'll have to explain at some point." He said and looked at Namine. "Are you staying here?" He asked. Ciel blinked. "Why would she want to leave?" The Yong Phantomhive asked defensively. Shown backed up slightly. "Well I only asked because she seamed to be attached to Adam." He said as Ciel glared at him but Namine shook her head. "I wanna be here with my brother." She said then blushed and put her head in her hands. "I do like Adam...well Kinda. He did take care of me for a whole month for free, I just wanna be here with Ciel." She said trying to calm herself. Adam raised an eyebrow at Namine. *Why dose it matter if I took care of her for a month? Wouldn't anyone do that for someone else in need?* He shook his head at that thought, of course not. Most people only worry about themselves, but Adam hadn't been raised like that, he'd been raised to give a homeless person his last dollar if he could.
Shon nodded. "Alright, how about we get together tomorrow afternoon and catch up?" He asked Namine nodded and seeing that it is what his sister would want, Ciel nodded as well. That's when Tanaka walked in holding Adams now clean folded clothes. Standing next to the elder butler was May-Rin who raised an eyebrow at all the new people then saw Ceil and immediately ran over to him. "Oh master is it really you!?" She said almost knocking over Shown as Adam went to go change. "Oh! Uh!.. Yeah... Now back off!" He said pushing her away then looked at Shon. "You okay?" He asked. Shon fixed his jacket and nodded. "Yes I'm fine." He said then cleared his throat. 'Well, as soon as Adam is dressed we can go home." He said as both Valiant and Valintyne stood on either side of him. Sebastian looked at the twins finaly noticing them and coughed he could tell immediately what they were and he thought this was most strange.
A few moments later Adam came back out fully dressed. Shon smiled as he saw him. "So, Adam. Are you staying here or will you be returning with us?" He asked looking at the young doctor. "I'll be coming along, just let me talk to Namine for a moment." Adam said and beckoning Namine to follow him and she did.
He led her down the hall and into an empty room. "Are you going to be okay without me here?" He asked her sincerely and looking up at him, her eyes connected with his and after thinking about it, she nodded. "Thank you Adam, for taking care of me." She told him and the Stark nodded with a bright smile. "It was no trouble, I try to be there for those who truly need and deserve it. You are no exception Namine, you ever need me, just say the word and I'm there, I care about you." He said but then blushed. "You're my friend." He added quickly and at those words Namine hugged him tightly. "You be careful." She told him and he nodded. "Alright, come on, I need to go." Adam said and with that, they pulled away and went back into the hallway. As soon as the walked out they saw Hope standing there because she had been listening through the door. The nine year old just stared at her brother with a weird look. "Corn ball." Hope said and Adam glared at her. "Shut up." He said flatly and went back to the others with Namine. Hope just shrugged and followed. "Ready to go?" Shon asked as they came back. When Adam nodded Shon smiled and turned back to Namine. "Alright, then I guess we will see you tomorrow. Good day." Shon said with a polite bow and started walking but then stopped. "Manner personnel!" He abruptly and randomly exclaimed finally remembering what he called his 'servants' but then saw the others staring at him. "Ah, hehe... Never mind..." He said and with that they left.
