[Kay, I'm back =3]

Cordova continued eating though two people were already done. But he was almost done at least, relishing a couple of juicy berries before chugging down another glass of juice. "He's probably a soldier or something, Sam.", he interrupted before addressing the warrior. "I think the chef has a sharpening wheel in the kitchen. It's big enough to sharpen that with last time I checked." He had used it once to file a painting knife of his, but he did it in the dead of the night for fear of getting into trouble.

"Looks like Kora's gonna be busy for a while. Hopefully she'll be hungry enough for lunch. I worry about her sometimes." he said to the seated waitress, having watched Kora walk off. "Oh yeah, I'm done with my plate.", he added with a smile. The painter wasn't being rude on purpose. Being thoughtful was just something that didn't come naturally to him and it was his neighbor's job right now as an employee of the hotel. He didn't want to deprive Sammy of work or anything.

Mamoru heard how her voice was seemingly annoyed with him as he just gave a little frown of disappointment. "You really think I'm going to do that?...now what reason do I have to kill you?...I'm just doing that to protect my--.....aaaanndd..you dont believe me huh?" he had stopped himself right before he could finish his statement, though right when he finished talking he noticed how the orange-haired boy from before told him that the chef actually might have had a sharpening rock in there. Though even than Mamoru just looked at the man, shaking his head a little. "Never mind I dont need it, sorry to bother you two." he said giving a bow to the both of them, before he walked right away not bothering to wait for an answer to his two questions. Starting an argument was a stupid idea especially if its with the person who let you stay here with them. So Mamoru simply walked back up the stairs and into his room, closing the door behind him seeing how his armor was on his bed; nice and clean. "Well...now that its clean..maybe I can leave before the end of the month reaches." He thought shrugging his shoulders and grabbing onto his armor, putting it next to his bed so that he could lay down and get the rest he needed.

Sammy listened to the boy begin to talk and then Cordova kind of cut in. Her bottom lip stuck out in a pout and she crossed her arms. So what if he was a soldier or something? She liked living. And sometimes, people didn't need a reason to kill someone to kill them. There were awful news these days. She sighed and nodded to the cat boy and watched him walk away. She looked back at Cordova and listened to him talk about Kora. He had a point. She always seemed to work... And sometimes Sammy wasn't all that light on the poor girl. But since the owner was never in, he kind of put Sammy in charge because she'd worked here the longest. What else could she do but do what she was told to? She wasn't that hard on people since she could be lazy herself, but maybe she could lighten up a bit.

Sammy smirked when he told her he was done with his plate. "Really? You sure? 'Cause I'm sure there's a yearly supply back there if you want." She joked with a wink. She stood up and moved his dirty plates on the tray. She refilled his glass of juice and told him she'd be right back. She walked in, set the tray down letting the cleaning dishes girl get it before walking back into the dining. "So. What're you painting this time?"

Kora steadily worked, doing things like laundry and making up beds. She put her hand on her head as her stomach growled. She questioned why she had not eaten before when food was offered, but being as stubborn as she was she refused it. She wasn't much of a people person, anyways. She heavily sighed before continuing her chores.

(I'm really sorry for all of the short post I've been giving you guys. I'm running short on ideas.)

Since he hadn't gotten any food at all, but rather just drank some tea. Mamoru sat back up shaking his head. "Damn...I cant even sleep." he told himself with a sigh standing up and realizing that he felt really light-headed. "Okay, I really need to start walking.." he told himself, maybe it was because he wasn't wearing his armor? He was getting used to that heavy thing, so maybe if he wore it again; than he could feel a little more relaxed. Shrugging his shoulders he walked over toward it, picking up the armor and strapping it onto his body feeling as if all the weight from the armor had disappeared. What the hell?...why is it so light? he thought to himself not really knowing that considering that it was cleaned from all the sweat, just the tiny amounts of sweat put together was what made it even more heavier than it already was. Mamoru gave a little nod to himself as he kept the key in his hand, leaving his room door once more opening when he left. Though, this time rather than walking down into the main room; Mamoru walked in the opposite direction to find a back door.
After searching for what seemed like only a few minutes, Mamoru hadn't found a back door, but rather found a window. Eh, it was better than nothing. So he simply opened the window all the way up and looked around the hallways just in case anyone would see him. "Good. No ones around." he told himself jumping out of the window and landing onto his feet; To Mamoru, the little saying 'cats always land on their feet.' was true. He really wasn't planning on leaving the apartment but rather he just wanted some fresh air without anyone noticing him; and maybe a little training without being yelled at for doing anything wrong inside the building. With a little sigh, he unsheathed his sword and approached the thickest cherry tree around than began to swing at it several times, considering the fact that his sword was dull from not being sharpened, the tree hadn't even taken a single mark from his sword, but rather little dents on the sides.

((I hope i can do that, since hes not really leaving the place, but rather just going outside for a little while...like a walk.))

[@lightning: No problem :) Happens to most of us :XD I guess I should also warn you guys that I type slow]

He laughed when the flirty blond got him back with a joke. "Well you know that lake nearby? There's a family of swans that's settled down under one of the willows. They have a new batch of ducklings with them and I thought I'd paint 'em before their feathers got white." He took a sip of his juice as he remembered his late night escapades. "I didn't want them moving away from me though so I snuck over there last night and painted them under the moonlight while they were still asleep. Lucky no bandits showed up.", the artist said merrily, though he was quite on edge when he was out after dark. Cordova wasn't exactly a fighter and his skills in the arcane were considered child level by his people. That's what he got for not paying much attention in class. At least he knew the basics.

(I'll post tomorrow! sorry! bye!! XD)

[Bye Fairy =3 Guess I'll be getting off too. Goodnight happy, lightning :)]

((Night everyone. I guess ill head to bed too XD since it doesnt seem like my little character is going anywhere anytime soon lolz))

(Night. Just to warn you guys I won't be able to reply tommorrow until after school. Happy, you arent staying on?)

Kora walked down the halls, seeing that a window had been opened. She tilted her head, curiously looking out the window. Although she hadn't seen anyone, she knew that someone had gone out their.

With hesitation, she crept through the window. After looking around a bit, she finally saw the cat boy. She hid as she watched him swing his sword. It seemed kind of stalkerish, but she wanted to know what he was doing.

((well I am staying on, its just that the thing is that when night comes for me I have to st on my iPod and this thing is super slow not to mention my posts will usually be short. So I just consider myself off since I tend to pass out alot lolz))

Mamoru at this point was still swinging his dull sword at the cherry tree as he knew already that this damn tree wasn't going to break anytime soon. So knowing that he just contiued to slash at the tree with full force. Through the entire time he was training against the tree he would occassinally change his style of fighting as he'd do a couple of slashes than out of no where add in a few kicks and punches with his other hand. It may had worked him up a sweat but this was at least a way for him not to think about how light-headed he was.

((What? No one going to post today? :())

(Posts slow and not many. Sorry. Fighting for the computer never really turns out in my favor...)

Sammy smiled and listened to Cordova talk about the baby swans. She nodded, leaning back in the seat she had been occupying for quite some time now. She felt too lazy to get up. She figured someone would come by and clean up the plates if no one else decided to come down. Him talking about painting made her think about her photography. Her little room walls were covered in her photographs of random things and people. She was actually pretty good too.

Kora was watching him with awe, until she noticed the tree he was attempting to cut down. It was her favorite cherry tree. The one that supplied her the most comfort after a long day of cleaning. Even though she knew he most likely wouldn't be able to cut down the tree, she didn't want him swinging his sword at it.

"Stop!" She yelled, clearly not knowing the rule to never yell at a person with a sword.

((ohhh....okay. didn't know. no need to apologize, I'm kinda busy myself ^^;; I was just a little surprised that no one posted the whole day. lolz :sweat: ))

Suddenly when he had heard someone's voice yell out the word 'stop' at him, Mamoru turned around in shock for a moment. Though considering what his training had taught him, he didnt let his guard down as he had thought it may had been someone maybe trying to sneak up on him and give him a surprise attack. So once he turned around he couldn't help but throw his sword at whoever it was, only ending up missing completely and sticking the sword itself straight in between the legs of Kora.
Once finding out it was her, Mamoru gasped as his eyes flung open even wider than before. "Oh!! I..I..I'm so sorry!"

----------

((Hope you dont mind if I put the link into my siggy. Cuz it just seems we need more people >.<))

Kora's eyes widened as the sword was flung at her. "First I clean your armor, and then you try to kill me?" She asked jokingly, placing her hand on the handle of the sword.

With a great amount of effort she picked it up and slung it over her back, nearly falling backwards. "I don't understand how you can carry this thing all day, let alone throw it at me."

Listening to Kora's question about him trying to kill her, Mamoru had remembered what the other girl had told him earlier that he couldnt use the sharpening rock because she was afraid that if he'd do that, he'd end up killing her or any of the guest memebers, not to mention staff while they slept. Throwing the sword at Kora all of a sudden like that wasn't helping him prove the fact that he wasn't trying to hurt anyone here. With a sigh he gave a deep bow to her from afar. "Once again, I am truly and utterly sorry..please forgive me." he said straightening his back, only to see that she had somehow thrown the sword back at him. His eyes flung open widely as he dodged to the side right before it had flown right into his face; but of course with his slow reaction time, he wasnt able to dodge quick enough and actually was given a little nick at his cheek. Wow!..sh..she was actually able to throw that back at me?... he thought to himself reaching over grabbing his sword off the floor and sheathing it back onto his side. "I'm used to holding onto this thing, you could say its actually a little part of me..without it, I dont know what I'd do."

Kora shrugged, "Why is a little sword such a big deal. I mean, it's just some sharp metal." She asked.

"How about you Sams? How many pictures have you added to your collection?" Cordova has never set foot in Sammy's room despite having lived in the same building as her for a year. But he has seen her toting around a camera and take pictures of friendly and famous guests, weird hotel decorations that seemed like a good idea at the time, flowers under Damien's care, and of course, fabulous looking food. While they had been talking, the sound of someone hitting a large wooden structure of some sort fluttered in the background. It didn't catch the attention of the painter at all until he heard someone yell "Stop!"

Immediately, he lowered his drink and turned his head towards the direction of the yell. "Did you hear that? It sounded like Kora."

[I know you guys already posted something else after Kora screamed. I'm just saying that this was around the time she screamed so hope you guys aren't too confused :sweat:]

"Just a piece of sharp metal...?" Mamoru replied to her question, as he clentched down onto the hilt of his sword. He tried his best not to get offended by what she had said since she obviously didn't know what it meant to a knight to have his first sword. "This piece of metal..to me...it means more than my life..its a sign of protection, of loyalty." he said once more looking up at her and giving a little serious frown. "This sword..it shows others that I am here to attack any who dare cause a threat to others...and this armor...the symbol on the front and the shoulder are to show that I only mean peace to others." he explained showing her the that the symbol on his shoulder pad and chest of the armor had a cross on it, as if it were from a church.

((I understood it. ^_^ :D And hey, maybe this could be a way for all the characters to get together and talk. >.<;; ))

"Well sorry that I didn't get the All About Knights handbook." She snapped back jokingly.


(BONDING TIME!!! :hug: )

"Woah! I..I didnt mean it like that!" Mamoru replied back at Kora when she had snapped back at him. He wasnt really used to joking around since he never really had time for that durning his training, so when he heard how she seemed to sound likes she was joking he just gave a little nervous smile.

((Sorry for the shortness, I'm lost on what to put ^_^;; ))

[Aww, Fairy's offline :( Now I'm not sure if I should post yet or wait for her :XP]

((I think we should wait for her. Since one thing is she is the one who made the roleplay and not to mention it would be kinda mean to leave her all alone like that.))

[Good call :)]
