~( HomeWork1: Information -Commencing Quest - )~

Miko could hear the door to the garden closing, she got up and looked through the window, to find Roma as she expected "Roma-san.." she had started to hate her expectations.
She went to the room next door, and picked a strawberry from a basket of fruits put there, went back to the office, and put the strawberry on Chrome's desk, kissing it first.
She went downstairs, and entered the garden from the back door, she moved to a tree and hid behind it, a bit far away from Roma, he could still hear her voice from behind him "is Chrome-san still angry with Miko..? "

She coud hear his voice was anger tempered by regret. As if he was feeling guilty towards her. His voice cracked slightly.
"....yes..." A silence fell.. "...and I am to blame for that, partially." She could hear anger and sadness fight in his voice.
He poused long before resuming "I'm sorry that I hadn't warn you that Chrome wouldn't like it..." The energy fleeted from his usually happy voice.

Prince was unsure what to do at this point, go see Roma or try to talk to Chrome? She couldn't decide so she stood next to Cail, the crown she normally would was not on her head for once in her life. She felt very lonely without it.

Miko shook her head "no, don't be sorry, Roma-san.. it's the consequences of a decision I took.. which I must bare alone" she sniffed "I just wonder.. why did Chrome-san misunderstand my intention so badly even though he's a mind reader?" she started crying again "I did it for him and he says I do fine without him!" she hid her face with her hands

Roma approached Miko.. and took her in a hug.
"Miko..."... He exhaled calmly. Waiting a couple of minutes before continuing.
...
"I think what hurted him most, is that very ability. Becouse of that, none of us could approach him, or the secret would be out....
You hate being alone right? Well, so does he, in a way.." ... "and we left him on the sideline's for a long time.."
..."in reality, he wishes to be "the fool who takes responsebility" and he wants to care for us. But with this, we took that very aspect away.".. "I realised this only later as well, and since I too had my responsebilities, it is not just your fault..."

Miko kept crying for a while, then eventually slowly started calming down,
she sniffed " I didn't mean to leave him alone, Miko would never leave him alone! I just.. didn't want to add to his burden.. I swear that was the only reason.." she held her necklace with both hands "what do we do now, Roma-san? ... how can I fix this mistake I did..?" she looked up to Roma with watery eyes

[wah, sorry! My phone kept spazzing and i couldnt get on]

Sam watched chrome and the others from the background silently. 'I dont get it...' she thought to herself, 'Were trying to help, arent we?'

"Right now, I don't think there is much we can do. " The Noah questioned himself within. "I got misunderstood too, and if I'd try to explain now, it wouldn't work... Think of it as him being angry, and for that not hearing what others say becouse of it.. " He casted his look to the room everyone was staying. "I don't know what further could be going on, but for him to misunderstand is a strange thing.. "The noah looked worried. "With this, he is destroying the entire mood and feeling of the family.."

"For now, Cail is trying to talk sense into him, convincing we really want him along."

Chrome bit his lip.... honestly, why was he even so angry?
No one would understand, even if he tried to explain, right?
this feeling of loneliness.... he really hated it.
he hated the hurt looks on the faces of his family.
Chrome took a few deep breathes.
"I am......jealous... of what Miko achieved with you all.
It's something I had wanted to try for months... for Miko to do this in a matter of days is... painful.
And everyone was able of getting this far... this courageous, without me knowing anything of it... without being able to help out.
I....I want to trust everyone and swallow my pride.... but.. I'm rather disappointed no one trusted me...
Like you were expecting I would disagree to it. Like I would get in your way, or... that it wouldn't have this family-like feeling to it.
..... saying and thinking these things are horrible... throwing a fuss about this... I've ruined the feelings you had about this..."

"You believe what I said now, Miss?" Nana flung his body down in front of Miko's face. "You fail as a proper noah."

Miko looked at Nana, with self-loathing, she had nothing to prove him wrong now
"yeah... maybe you're right.. perhaps I do really fail as a Noah.." she bit her lip "but I'm just a 'no-brain'.. it's my role to fail, I guess" she smiled sadly, holding Tune in her hands and looking at her
she looked back to Nana "Now that you had me admit that I fail as a Noah, what else do you want me to do?"

Cail was having some technical diffuculties... this will be him talking.

The teenager frowned, trying to understand.
"Chrome. Seriously... You've done so much for us, and you've been a fantastic leader. You've kicked our asses into gear many times. Trust me, i know. he pointed at the scar on his cheek. You've done so much for us. What happened has nothing to do with us not trusting you, heck, its more to do with us showing how grateful we are to you. Miko especially. You're wondering why we got together and cooperated so easily? Its because we all feel the same way and wanted to do something to pay you back for all you've done. As a mind reader... how can you not know this? We were trying to thank you. If our thoughts confuse you, ask anyone. As you once told me, what people think and what they say arn't always the same ^-^. We want you to come with us on this mission., as a family." He smiled then looked down at Prince standing next to him. He put a hand on her shoulder.

(arg nasty forum. this was so much better the first time round! #>8/ Third time trying to post this without it cutting half out!)

Xin stood up shyly, as she was sitting by Cails side. She was not used to having so many people around. She walked up to her captain and hugged him bluntly, wrapping her arms around his waist. " -oo- "

"...!" Chrome was a little dazed by the words of his younger brother and the affection of his sister.
He knew he had been wrong... it was just hard to admit it. To explain them how he had felt.
"....h...hmpf... it's just simply that I dislike being left out of the center of attention -.-" He attempted to regain his posture, while hugging Xin like a teddy bear.

"I dunno.... I'm not a therapist. and I'm not a good person who'd give you advice. I just enjoy seeing people puzzled or pissed. but if you know what's the problem, then do something about it." He then glanced at Roma. "you sure seem pissed off too."

Sam raised an eyebrow from her spot on the couch. "It may just be me, Taichou, but from my point of view, you never left the center of attention." She gave her captian a playful smile.

Miko shook her head, "I can't do anything at the moment, the only way to fix this is to have him to hear me out" a flashback hit her where he was glaring at her "but I don't think he wants to see me at the moment.. I hope the rest can fix what I ruined.." she looked towards the window where everyone was near
Her eye shifted to Nana "ne, Nana-kun.. why do you enjoy seeing people in trouble? What is the fun in that?"

"I agree with sammy ^oo^" Xin said, patting chromes back.

"I agree too!" Prince said, smiling up at Chrome. "After all, we're just doing this to help you out."

"it's not really helping, you know? -.- all I wanted to say is that you guys are a bunch of idiots and that I hate to be left out." the rest... they didn't really have to know.
"So we're planning on heading out to the order. the most important aspect is that we keep close contact.Sam, do you have Innana close with you? I believe I have a few spare gollems to use. if you lose your gollem, try to obtain one from a finder or and exorcist.
the broker plan.... as stupborn as the earl is, I don't believe he'll lend us one. we'll have to do without or we'll waist time."

"Does it matter? it's not your business B> and I don't think he'll bother. just forget about it and get over it."

Takes one to know one, you big jerk. B|.... Right, we've established what to do ONCE we get there... but HOW are we going to GET there? ._.' he rubbed the back of his head, wondering where Miko is. I'm going to find Miko...

Xin let go of chrome and walked over to the wall. She sat back down and leaned against it.

" 'forget about it and get over it'?" Miko quoted him "I'm a person that cares and worries about others, I can't forgive myself that I made Chrome-san feel lonely.. nor can I forget his glare at me.." she sighed deeply "in case you haven't heard, he's my fiancee, and I care too much about him.." she sighed again, and curled up next to the tree she was standing next to

At the mention of Inanna, said golem runs straight into the back of Sam's head, knocking her from the couch.

[sorry, the tension was killing me. X3]

( our Captain and Vice Captain are having a little vacation, until they're back; go train here! Link! D< no slacking off is allowed! *chases everyone with strawberries* )

"How, you asked? hnrr... since they have switched locations, it's hard to establish the roots in and out of the order. I do believe for them to still have a sewer system for boats... Sam, Prince, do you know anything?"

"Your fiancee?" Nana chuckled. "Don't make me laugh. the way you two are acting, you couldn't even be called friends."
(*kicks nana*)

she looked at Nana with shocked eyes "@./ / ..." and fell silent for a while
"AHAHAHAHAAA~!" and suddenly laughed out loud "hahaha, you know what? You're right!" and kept giggling "I don't even remember the last time we had a nice conversation"
she tried to hide her tears behind her act of laughter, but apparently; she couldn't pull out the act very well at the end
"you're too honest it hurts.. even if it was true, I'm at least enjoying the little dream I made myself believe.." she sniffed
