It was time to eat so everyone sat themselves around a large, beautiful table that sat eight people. Everyone took their seats leaving the chair at the head of the table and the chair across from Robin vacant for Sarah and James who were bringing out the food. Once everything was set down and James and Sarah had both taken their seats, everyone began to eat. The seating arrangement was okay, Nagira thought, although he wished the table were bigger...so Aideen could be further away from Amon. He just didn't like her, it was as though he were jealous for Robin so she didn't have to be. James was at the head of the table in the chair closest to the swinging door that led to the kitchen, Nagira was on James's left hand while Nate was in front of him. Robin was on Nagira's left and Amon was next to her. Sarah sat across from Robin putting her on Nate's right while Aideen took the seat in front of Amon. The other head of the table was vacant. She kept looking up at him, him meeting her gaze every so often. "What in the hell is he doing?" Nagira thought angerly. "He isn't an idiot, he knows that woman likes him, why is he playing into this? Oh boy, I've never done the whole kick-my-little-brother's-ass thing but I'm pretty close to it..."

"So, I was thinking that since we have a nice sized house here at our disposal and enough room for everyone, we would stay put. Running all the time wouldn't be smart, it would only complicate things. New York is a nice place, you three should blend in well." James said, bringing Nagira back to reality which wasn't much better..."That damn woman..."

"That sounds like a smart plan, we should all stay put." Aideen said softly, smiling at everyone although it seemed like she was smiling only at Amon to Nagira..."This Aideen chick is going to drive me up a wall..."

"What do you think Amon?" Nagira asked, making his brother turn his head to look his way. Robin leaned back a bit in her chair so they could see each other but wasn't really paying attention...had she been, she would have caught Nagira's glare and Amon's questioning face.

"Sounds good to me." he said flatly, confused by his brother's sudden anger. "What's wrong with him?" Amon thought, looking up from his plate and seeing Aideen looking at him again. He wasn't sure of what he should think of Aideen but he was pretty sure he thought he knew what she thought of him. The attention he was receiving was flattering although he didn't know how to react...it wasn't as though she were the first woman he had ever been around, hell, he had been with Touko for months. But this was different somehow...but how baffled him.

Looking over at Amon, Robin caught the two of them looking at one another and instantly turned her attention back to her plate as though she had seen something indecent. Blushing furiously, she took a bite of her food, her heart speeding up and something, somewhere inside of her being crushed by an unknown weight. Aideen...she was beautiful. She had curves Robin didn't have...she was closer to Amon's age. A beauty like Touko. "I guess I just never figured Amon would act as though he had feelings for one person and then change his mind when someone better came along..." thought Robin sadly to herself. Her face fell in saddness and Nagira took in every inch of it. He could tell she wanted to cry, wanted out of the room...he wanted to grab Amon and shake him. He didn't know if he felt anything for his woman, which would be ridiculous Nagira reasoned as he hadn't even spoken with her much yet, but he needed to stop satisfying this woman's craving for his attention. Hell, he needed to stop even if he did feel something for her oddly...just for Robin's sake, he needed to stop either way. Nagira sat there taking in everything that happened right down to the slightest movement between the three as though it were an action movie even though barely anything was going on.

Everyone was finally done eating so they all left the room after having been told by James and Sarah that they would clean up. Robin meekly pushed her chair in quickly and scuttled away towards her room. Amon and Nagira stood as well, both seeing Robin hurrying away with her hands clasped in front of her and her head bowed slightly. Furrowing his eyebrows together, Amon couldn't figure out what was wrong, deciding to just shrug it off. Nagira walked past Amon, anger coming off of him in waves so strong even Amon could feel it from behind him. Aideen and Nate were left in the dust as Amon picked up his pace to catch up with Nagira, irritated that something was going on and he was, apparently, the party receiving the cold shoulder.

Up the stairs they went and off to the right, the only direction they could go on the third floor. Just as Amon rounded the corner coming off of the steps he saw Nagira's back disappear into his room and heard a door slam. Sighing to himself, he walked over to his door and knocked. Getting no response, he decided to just go in...this was ridiculous. What had he done? Upon entering, he saw Nagira walking towards the balcony, angerly reaching for the door and pulling it open.

"Nagira!" Amon called out, tired of chasing his suprisingly quick older brother around like they were children. Sighing yet again, he followed after him, figuring there was no where for him to go, he had him cornered. Making his way through the door, he saw Nagira leaning against the railing of the balcony, looking straight out with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

"Would you mind telling me what's gotten you so angry and what's got Robin acting so strange?" he asked.

"You." Nagira replied flaty, angerly, and simply all at the same time, sounding very much like a child. "You", please, he could have said more than that, Amon had already figured that much out all on his own.

"What have I done to anger you in the short amount of time that we've been here?" Amon asked, curious as to what he had done that was so bad.

"Did you have to do it so openly?" Nagira replied, finally turning half way around to face him.

"Do what?" Amon asked, his eyebrows coming together in questioning.

"Flirt with that Aideen chick, geez, you..."

"What?" Amon interrupted sternly. Flirt? Was he kidding?

"Aw, don't play dumb with me, you're too old for that one. She kept making googly eyes at you and instead of looking away or ignoring her you kept looking back. I thought you liked Robin, don't tell me you've changed your mind alre.."

"Of course not, you're being foolish. Are you telling me that that's what this is all about? You running around slamming doors, Robin running off to her room without a word...over me simply looking over at another woman?" Amon asked heatedly. He couldn't believe his ears...

"Ha, don't make this into nothing when it's something. It wasn't as though you just glanced up, you kept doing it, you're encouraging her without even realizing it. What's worse is that Robin even noticed...she's strong Amon but she's still young, her heart is easy to break and you aren't being too careful..." Nagira said the last part softly, the vision of Robin running out of the room coming back into his mind. Just then Amon realized the pain he had caused Robin. She was so fragile and he had forgotten...it seemed like nothing to him, he wasn't flirting but to Robin...Sighing, Amon ran a hand through his hair while looking out over the balcony, vaguely aware of his brother looking at him expectantly. He walked over to the balcony and leaned on the railing just as his brother had been doing when he found him, Nagira turning to do the same. Nagira then reached over to grab a cigarette, passing one to Amon, Amon raising an eyebrow at him.

"Ah, take it, it's just one, it won't kill ya." Looking over, Amon grabbed it, stuck it in his mouth and let Nagira light it for him.

Back in her room, Robin was laying on her bed, unmoving, staring at the ceiling. She felt...jealous...for the first time in her life, she felt jealous. She hadn't felt that when Amon was with Touko, why now? He didn't do anything...right?

"I guess I just never viewed them as a couple, he spent more time with me than he did with her and I was just his partner at work..." she whispered to herself, feeling foolish for having such a feeling. Just then Robin heard a knock on her door but before she could get up to answer it or call out, the door flew open and Sarah walked in.

"Hey, whatcha doin'?" she asked cheerily. Sitting up, Robin gave her a small smile and a quiet "Nothing."

"Ah, good, we can hang!" Sarah said happily, hopping onto Robin's bed.

"Good thing she came, I might have brooded all night until I fell asleep." Robin thought, grateful for Sarah's good timing.
