"You're nineteen right?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. She looked around that age. Since she couldn't be older than Shin. "My birthday, and how old I am, are as following. November 25th and I'm twenty-one." he said, smirking. "And nah, it's fine. It happens all the time."

"Fine...i cleaned it and everything....just some yellow pus looking stuff was comming out of it." Alvilda said as she shrugged her shoulders, smiling at the fact that they didn't think she was crazy like everyone else did. The only reason she didn't come off as crazy at the moment was because she was keeping her self in check, in fact she was A.D.D. but she forced her self to focus and to seem normal not wantting to scare anyone else off. "Many people will disagree with the both of you on me not being crazy. My sisters can vouch for me on me being crazy." She said to them as she automaticly hide her hand beneath the table, she motioned for shin to have a seat since they were going to be there for a while, she still had to get her things to the Kurai house hold and unpack also.

"Just be glad that the one that made this wound, missed my heart." Hotaru said to her as he put a hand on a piece of glass that was at the exact spot that his heart should have been at. He ran a hand through his hair as he turnned his head and looked down at the maid fixxing him up, he couldn't help but admit to him self that she was far prettier then Katie but thinking of Katie reminded him that he gave everything up for her and she gave up nothing in return.

"Yep." She said, smirking."Well I hope you like younger women, some guys like the old saggy type." She grinned, referring to her father in a way. He had cheated on their mother with a woman 30 years older then him, nasty..and creepy. She looked up at him, feeling much warmer now She was comfortable enough to go to sleep even though it wasn't even noon yet. She yawned a little.

Her eyes widened somewhat before she stopped, having finished his arm. She cam up to his front and leaned down somewhat to look at the glass. "You big dumb butt." she blurted out before she bit her lip. "Sorry.. But, ugh.. That's... I'm not sure if I should take that out." she said, sounding concerned. She sighed somewhat, grabbing the piece, and with her other hand grabbed a towel. "Okay.. Don't move, kay?" she asked, glancing up at him.

Shin almost chuckled, shrugging as he sat down. "Well, if it helps, we don't think you're crazy." he offered, smiling somewhat before looking at her hand. "So it's infected?"

Ace stuck his tongue out somewhat. "Ugh.. I want my girls around my age, thank you very much." he said, almost twitching from the mere thought of having to go out with an older woman.

"When I was fourteen my father cheated on my mother with a woman that was thirty years older then him." She smirked. She laughed when he stuck his tongue out." Good." She said, looking around his room from her laying down position."Is there anything I should know about you, that ticks you off or gets you in any other moods? "She smirked."Sounds wrong but.."She laughed again.

"It might be but the doctor was no help he said it was natrual for it to do that. It is part of the reason i came back. I can do better healing on my own then with her around." Alvilda said as she looked down at her bandage hand, she had to cut the stitches out because it was cat gut but she was glad that it didn't feel sore or like it was on fire so much now. She smiled as she looked back up at Shin, frowning when she saw what was going on with Hotaru and Janice, she thought he was stupid for doing what he did also but she wasn't going to say anything about it. "Do you want to marry me?" She asked Shin as she looked back at him, wanting to know how he really felt about everything and about now being paired up with her.

"It isn't going to bleed that much, i told you it miss my heart." Hotaru said to her as he took the hand that had a towel in it, pulling the towel out of her hand and placing it above the glass that she was about to pull out, knowing she could feel a faint heart beat he then place her hand on the opposite side of his chest, letting her feel the much stronger heart beat, letting her know that his heart was in the wrong spot. "see perfectly fine. No wounds to my heart." he said to her as he lifted her hand up and placed the towel back into it, giving her a forced smile.

Janice blinked in surprise as she felt the heartbeat. "Ah?" she asked somewhat, looking at him before looking at the spot where his heart really was, then at the glass, then back at him. "... You're still a dumb butt." she said innocently but bluntly before she shook her head, offering him a smile back before she sighed. "Alright then, well, still.." She said before taking the glass out of his chest cautiously. She was almost expecting him to snap at her for calling him a name, since he'd be sour to everyone else, and even to her back at the cellar.

Shin thought about it before shrugging. "Well, I'm not disappointed. I'd have liked to get to know you better before marrying." he said with a small smile before nodding. "But, well, since we have to wait, maybe it'll work out somehow with us."

Ace smirked somewhat."I hate it when I'm pressured into things. And bugs, when they make those noises at night?"It'd always irked him when he was trying to get some rest and he kept hearing the chirping or buzzing of one single bug. Especially when he couldn't find the damn bug. "As for your father.. He's an idiot." he stated simply before tilting his head at her. "And you?"

"I better save you now and tell you that i am complicated, i like a lot of things and i really do not like strawberries and other things. I am glad that we get to wait and have more time to get to know each other before we are married." Alvilda said to him as she stated some things, smileing when she said the last sentence, she didn't want hiim to be like the other guys and run off when she was just starting to like them but, hey things happened for a reason in her mind. She pulled her long brown hair over her shoulder as she started to play with it, her teal eyes scanned the man before they wandered to something else in the room.

"That isn't the first time i was called that.....Katie used to call me that all the time when she thought i was being dumb." Hotaru said as he sighed heavily and looked towards the ceiling, he winced when she pulled the glass out, he could feel it cutting him even more, he just wished that she yanked it out instead of pulling it out so slowly like she did. He didn't want to look at her, only because he was trying so hard not to like her, to hate her just as much as he hated Katie but it wasn't working to well which madde him sighe heavily once more.

Janice chuckled, swiftly pulling the glass out after she got it half way. "Sorry if it hurt you. And, er, I'll call you a baka then." she said cheerfully before sighing, figuring that'd be a dumb idea. She didn't want to remind him of his ex, since it seemed a sore subject. "Or just, bop you. You'll be moving to the Kurai home as well?" she asked after a moment. She cleaned up the blood from his chest before trying to figure out how to stitch it.

Shin shrugged. "When aren't girls complicated?" he asked smiling somewhat and chuckling. "I'll figure it out, and yeah. So yay for more time." he said, waving a finger around.

((.... so is this Katie and Ace being lovey dovey?))

She thought about it for a moment."Well, I hate being pressured into things too, and I also hate it when someone will be talking about something good that happened to them or something bad and then someone else try to top it." She smirked, this happened all the time at her house and it made her annoyed to the point where she would literally yell at her sisters and father. She laughed about the bugs thing."I hate bugs and frogs. I mean, frogs are okay during the day..but at night since my window was close to the lake I could hear all of them making these horrible noises." She said, almot grinning since she feared frogs at night, but not during the day.

Ace tilted his head and chuckled. "Well, there aren't any frogs here to make noises, so there's a plus. As for when there's a story to top, the only way that's acceptable is when you're actually playing around or something. Otherwise, it'd seem like you just want to get all the attention." he said, shaking his head.

( lol This is them just talking and getting to know each other. Not sure if it counts as lovey dovey.o.o; )

"Yeah, my family always does that to each other, not in a joking way either." She said quietly."Yay, No frogs." She smirked."So got a favorite number?" She asked, wondering what other questions could be asked. She was liking the fact that her family wasn't here yet and that they could talk more.

He made a small face at that but shrugged. "That'd be annoying, but we don't do it, so maybe that'll lessen the pain." he joked somewhat before shaking his head. "No favorite number." He never had even thought about it before, so he wouldn't be able to answer that. "You?" he asked before smirking. "Would you rather swim in ice cold water or very hot, almost boiling water?" he asked, changing it up a little.

"I like the number 23..even though I don't now why."She looked at him, almost smirking at his question."Hmm..well, it depends how hot the water was to me." She laughed." I hate being cold..so as long as I wouldn't die from the warm water then I'd swim in the hot water. "You?" She asked, wondering what his answer would be.

Ace smirked. "I'd pick the hot water, I hate the cold as well." he said, chuckling. "Usually people pick seven or nine or something low. But, 23 is a good number." he said, nodding.

"Hm..do you like clowns?" She asked, smirking as she looked at him. She hoped the answer was no, since even in the 1700,s..there were clowns. And she had always been afraid of them. She started to run her fingers down his arm,feeling much warmer now."Thanks for warming me up."She laughed.

Ace smirked and tilted his head. "Clowns? I don't really care for them." he said, shrugging somewhat. He would've said he loved clowns, since it seemed that she may not like them, but he decided to give her a break. He looked down at her and nodded. "Nice and cozy now?" he asked, smirking.

"Yep." She blushed."I hate clowns..their annoying.." She said, looking at his chest so she wouldn't have to tilt her head to look up at his face."Want to show me your back yard?" She asked, sitting up since she didn't want to seem clingy, she hated clingy people and she knew he did too. She looked down at him,"Since were apparently all getting married there.."

He smirked and nodded, letting go of her as he also sat up and slid off the bed. "Sure, let me just change, um.. You could wait here I suppose." he said, going to get a change of clothes, a black long sleeved shirt and dark pants, heading to the bathroom to get changed.

Katie nodded and sat at the end of the bed, waiting for him to change.

After changing he came out of the bathroom and smirked somewhat at her. "Ready now?" he asked, going by her side and offering her his arm to hold so they'd be on their way. He looked slightly better now that he'd gotten different clothes on, and fixed his hair somewhat.

"It is fine....just sew it up like you did the others. Yes.....sadly i was told that once the girls moved out that i will be going with them." Hotaru said as he sighed heavily, leaning his head back to look at the ceiling even more, he pulled a ciggerate out and lite it, and began to smoke it, making sure that he kept the smoke away from Janice since she didn't seem to like it to much, Katie liked to smoke when she could.....maybe that is why he really picked it up.

Alvilda's smile drop from her face as she turnned her head, looking away from the man, she had to get to know him at least, while she had the time to. "I don't have a favorite color, i love animals and the outdoors, i always have to be doing something or else....." she said to him in a gaurded voice, not wantting to let him in just yet but some how he was just getting past her barriers and was making her just want to be near him, every time he spoke to her, her stomach just knotted up eveen more.

She nodded, and grabbed the needle as she bit her lip, setting to work in the wound. She almost frowned when he started to smoke again. "That's going to kill you. And it makes you smell bad." she stated, holding her breath somewhat, since she never could stand the smoke. She'd forced Ace to quiet a long time ago before it got to serious. At his reply she nodded again. "Well, you'll be able to sleep in the back house, away from the girls and guys." she said, hopefully that'd cheer him up. The help always slept in a different part of the estate. It was more private that way. "It's not big, but you get to have your own room. And there's a kitchen and a bathroom, along with a sort of dining/living room." she said with a small smile.

Shin tilted his head and chuckled. "I found out the last part first hand. But, well we're doing something right now. So yay for that. What types of animals do you like the most?" he asked curiously.

"Let it kill me and make me smell bad. It isn't like anyone is going want me as a husband much less a boyfriend." Hotaru said to her as he finished his ciggerate, stomping it out as his eyes narrowed slightly at her sewing him up once more. He didn't say anything to her about the place he was going to stay in, after all a job was a job no matter how much he hated it, he ran a hand through his hair, watching as the blood red locks dissappeared for a brief moment before the came back into his face with a vengence.

"Foxxes mainly, i used to have one for a pet before my father had it cooked for dinner.....you can say i didn't eat that night or for a whole month because of the incident. Horses, wolves, tigers, rabbits.....there are some others but since i like so many it is hard to keep track. What bout you?" Alvilda said as she forced a smile back on to her face, pulling her hair over her shoulder as she talked to him and leaned on the table.
