Baby-sitting Raviolli-chan [Hild/Kidato/Aurel]

[TOOTSIEGIRL]

Baby-sitting Raviolli-chan
--

"Uncle Kida! Uncle Kida!" A young child called out as the two year old son of the man's brother, AKA his cute nephew, climbed onto the mafia boss' lap and giggled up at the site of him having a bit of cake on his lip. The boy uncerimoniously reached up, flicked off the cake onto his finger and ate it with a giggle, "Now Uncle Kida is all cleeeean!"

The boy's black hair and eyes stood out against the warm skin inherited from his father, while the pale-skinned, slightly-Asian-looking 'Uncle' smiled down at him as he tickle the boy a bit, making young Raviolli Sentini begin to giggle rampantly and loudly, and a few female passing by people chuckled at the adorable site.

Their little rumble was finished off with Kidato hugging the boy tightly with a wide grin.

"Yes, now Kida-chan is all clean, thank you so much Ravi-chan~" He hummed with a wide smile as Hibird, a wild bird that for some reason is convinced that Kidato is a walking tree and thus always sits on him when it can, flapping around, sitting on the man's unruly midnight blue hair with ocean blue eyes check his watch, "Mah, Uncle Aurel and Aunt Hild aren't here yet, does Ravi-chan want some more cake while we wait?"

"Cake! Cake!!" The boy giggled out as he was pecked on the top of the head as the casual-looking man got up and ordered another strawberry cake from the vendor, soon giving it to his lovely Raviolli-chan as he sat back down with a can of cola.

Today was a warm day as Kidato Coral-Sentini wore a casual brown t-shirt and blue jean-like shorts, while Raviolli-chan wore a little suit and a large top-hat, just because it looked cute.

Well Dino dressed the boy, so Kida was not to blame for his attire.

[Aurelius Schwartz]

Aurelius' hands were carefully tucked in the pockets of his black dress pants. He sauntered nonchalantly down the dispersing sidewalk as people veered away from his menacing form. Hild was probably somewhere behind him, but he acted as if he did not care. His black tie blew to the side of his white shirt as his black military coat billowed out past his shadow in the wind. Shiny black boots with pointed toes hit the pavement in important strides. They were heading to the engineering building to discuss important matters of state and Aurel was prepared to the brim for said meeting, having memorized all the material and planned his course of action thoroughly. It was time to set things in motion. His tall, all black, and important attire may set others away from him (for the better), but it clearly wasn't phasing the happy family now standing in their path in the middle of the sidewalk.

"Move," Aurel hissed, narrowing his mismatched eyes in dismay. If only life would stop tossing things in his way...then everything would be so much easier. Suddenly, an unfortunate occurrence happened: Aurel realized that it wasn't just any happy family; ...it was one in which he recognized. Wonderful. In embarrassment and hatred, he placed a leather gloved hand over his face, tangled with strands of midnight hair. Disappearing right now would be beneficial... When god disobeyed his wishes, he lowered his hand to reveal a set of extremely disturbed eyes. "Kida..." I told you we were going to meet..." Aurel pointed at the tall, industrial building within sight. "there." Long, raven hair thrashed in anger behind him. "Clearly you did not adhere to my wishes..."

[You didn't describe where they were, so I'm improvising.]

[TOOTSIEGIRL]

Kidato felt the aura of his 'companion' hit him like a Tsunami, but just hugged his scared nephew to his chest protectively as they stood in the city park; it was quite a small area, only about 500 square meters wide if he guessed right. He's give the calculation in feet like many Amestrians did nowadays, but he never bothered learning it by heart. He preferred the easier system of centimeters.

"Aw, c'mon, Aurel-chan, Raviolli and Hibird wanted some cake, you really expect me to say no to such kind and beautiful faces?" He asked with a kind and knowing smile, happily feeding the giggling two-year-old and the chirp-happy bird some of his own cake, letting the young boy finish it off as Hibird rested contently on his head; he couldn't help but chuckle, "Besides, dear Aurel-chan, we weren't due to meet for 45 more minutes, so I thought treating my lovely and smart nephew," The boy giggled at his Uncle's compliment, "As well as this loyal bird to some entertainment, after all, the mafia life sure gets boring for these two sometimes."

Suddenly the boy in his arms gave off the cutest face at his 'Aurel-niichan' as Kida had trained him into calling him, before outstretching his arms in the man's direction, "Aurel-niichan, Aurel-niichan, I want a hug!" The boy exclaimed, before he suddenly looked around with a strong pout, "Where's Hild-neechan, Uncle Kida-chan?"

A thoughtful look passed onto the hitman's face as he gave a similar, though not as pouty, look at Aurel at the thought, "Good question, where is Hild-chan? I haven't seen her for about a week now, I hope she's going well~ Poor Raviolli here misses his big sister dearly~!"

[Aurelius Schwartz]

Throughout the course of listening to the other's excuses, Aurel began running the hand that was over his face through his sleek hair to distract himself. The longer this encounter dragged out the more flustered he was becoming. Glancing nervously behind himself, he searched for Hild. Wasn't she right behind him? Just how fast had he been walking!? A bothered sigh escaped him and he decided to now focus on what the idiot was rambling about so as to get it over with as quickly as possible. He held a hand up to silence Kidato, but just then the small child began screeching about something. Aurel clenched his fist and tried to erase the memory before it formed.

"I am not your brother," He said, stepping briskly away from the outstretched hands and to a safe distance. If that thing so much as touched him...he was sure he would die. Shuddering at the thought, Aurel hit Kida with his full-on glare. Mismatched eyes sliced through the spring air between them and bloomed into something dreadful. "Forty-five minutes is perfect to begin waiting. Now move; you're crowding the sidewalk."

[Guest]

Hild walked along, keeping her distance behind Aurel. She sighed softly, and flicked her trident over her shoulder, getting the occasional look from Joe Public. Of course - she was the new Fuhrer, it was to be expected. With a soft sigh, and her remaining eye blinking, she finally found herself by her brother and that Mafia guy. She blinked again, and sighed, putting the edge of her trident up to the man's throat.

"Aurel, brother, calm down. We weren't meant to be here for another 45 minutes, you could've waited. I don't need you rampaging through Central again - last time that happened, I think about 5 children just started crying out of the blue." She nodded slightly, and then turned to Kidato and Ravioli, her face turning into a bright smile as she leaned over the toddler.

"Hey there, Raviolli-chan!" She tilted her head to the side, giggled and stood back up straight, looking at Aurel.

"I've told you time and time again - he won't hurt you. Just hug him and be done with it..." Her brother's... interesting... problems were somewhat of a frustration for her these days. That's why she was Fuhrer, and he was her Advisor. The country would fall into disarray otherwise.

[Aurelius Schwartz]

Or so she thought. In actuality, the only reason anyone other than Father was Fuhrer had to do with Aurel's careful calculations in order to bring Hild up to the position. A satisfied smirk crept onto his lips when he saw the familiar trident aimed at his throat. The intensity in that moment set his blood on fire and a cold, knowing gleam sheeted over his mismatched eyes. Unfortunately, the excitement was short lived and the trident was lowered almost as soon as it had been raised. It was fun while it lasted, however the dark-clad man still had that same smirk plastered to his lips as he spoke in his calm, velvet voice. "Tell me, Hild, why do you classify 'making children cry' as 'rampaging' when it was nothing of the sort? I did not coerce them to shed tears; they merely did it of their own accord. It had nothing to do with me. I thought you understood that." He looked disappointed and was currently enjoying his time away from dealing with Kida and that...thing, though he had to sacrifice precious time to debate with his naive sibling.

When Hild approached it, Aurel was revolted and had to avert his eyes. But the park's shrubbery was hardly worth his attention. Instead, he ventured to stare blankly at Kida who seemed to be mildly enjoying the whole ordeal. Just then...Hild spoke to him again. His focus snapped from everything and honed in on her words. Again, he felt like he was going to die at the mere thought. "How...could you say such a thing? Are you trying to kill me?!" It was his first display of emotion in a variety of long times. His voice raised an octave from his low monotones and held traces of his immense horror. It was like trying to force him to breathe under water...death was inevitable. And if he was going to die, he would welcome it if only by any other means.

[TOOTSIEGIRL]

(From now on, posting order is Kida-Aurel-Hild :3)

The child gave a pout in the scared man's direction, before he grinned at Hild-neechan's arrival, immediately trying to struggle away from his uncle to get a hug from his precious 'big sis'. Kidato just laughed whole-heartedly at the entire fiasco, who would've thought Aurel feared kids?

He fearlessly then petted the anti-people-person on the head with that charmingly kind smile of his, before letting the struggling child down, who immediately went to hide behind Hild. Apparently he was scared of Aurel too, despite wanting a hug. Kida mentally noticed this contradicting kid was just like his father- unpredictable.

"Ah, don't worry, it's only a dress-up, Ravi couldn't hurt a fly." The man smiled, before turning and bowing lightly to Hild, "It's so nice to see you again, Hild, and sorry for arriving early myself, I was just taking Hibird and Raviolli out for some cake. I would bring Kawaii-chan, but she's been unwell rcently so Dino's been taking care of her. Well, since we're not supposed to get down to business for about forty minutes or so, how about I treat you guys to lunch? You two can choose the place~"

[Aurelius Schwartz]

Clearly, Aurel's objections were being ignored by all parties. In fact, Kida hadn't even addressed him personally. It was disappointing really, yet he should feel satisfied since he was finally lifted from the curse of being the object of attention. Though, he did rather enjoy being on the receiving end of Hild's trident so long as he was never hated by her. That was all he asked... The moment that Hild hated him--when she stopped needing him--that would be the day he died. Smirking in complete seriousness, Aurel's attention drifted from his inner dialogue and to whatever useless garble Kida was now spewing. Depending on what he said, Aurel would have to take action.
...
It seemed he would need to start running before Hild coerced him into going to lunch with them. Frowning in obvious distaste, Aurel crossed his arms. "Lunch...what a waste of time for a simple human need." Despite what he said, he already knew that Hild was going to force him to go. She always dragged him out when he would rather just...stay away from it all and its pointlessness. He'd rather be in a graveyard right now...as one of the tombstones.

[You gotta be a bit more forceful with him~ He won't do anything but complain and use colorful language on you guys. Just you know open he shades! ;P He won't do anything on his own without you dragging him physically or finding a way to convince him through direct contact...or whining XD He's a pain in the ass. So have fun bothering him. lmao]

[I was high on lack of sleep when I wrote that ^ It doesn't even make any sense!]

[Guest]

Hild was rather... unamused by her brother's action. The girl sighed, and reached up to his ear, gripping the lobe between two fingers, before smiling softly, yet timidly.

"Brother, I am telling you now. You have to play nice today." She nodded twice, and turned her attention to Kidato with a bright smile.

"Lunch sounds good - but I'm pretty short on ideas for Cafes. I usually cook and pack, so any ideas from you would be appreciated. I like a place with a nice feel to it, somewhat private, and away from the people who would like to murder me for their own personal gain." She yawned, and then turned back to her brother, thinking on it. Hrm... What to do with him... He was going to come, she'd make sure of that, but how? Waitasec... A small smile appeared on her face, and she looked towards the other two slightly, making sure that they weren't looking. She then looked back up to Aurel.

"Please, Brother. Will you come with us to the Cafe for lunch?" She leaned up and kissed Aurelius softly on the cheek, before standing back down and looking at him, making the cutest face possible.

"For me?"

[TOOTSIEGIRL]

"Lunch...what a waste of time for a simple human need." Aurel practically whined out -well, in Kidato's opinion at least- as young Raviolli laughed lightly, before jumping back up into his dear Uncle's arms, making the man chuckle lightly in response as he silently watched a small bicker session befall the two, his chuckle increasing lightly when she tugged on the man's ear.

After she requested a 'safe' place to eat from him, he just smiled as he lifted the boy onto his shoulders with a light laugh, before ruffling Aurel's hair lightly, as a father would do to a child of about 15, not to a man about 25.but Kida's excuse was that he acted like a pubescent teen anyway. Oh well, he loved kids anyway, and he found it fun to treat the younger male -only by a year- like a little brother or teenage son. It was fun to pretend.

"Hm... Well if you want great food, Esta's Pasta Place is a good restraunt, if you want security, well I'm not a bad cook myself and we could head back to my apartment here in Central, it's a nice cozy place but I'm not the world's best chef." Kidato offered with a light chuckle, before he checked his watch with a smile, realising they really weren't due for another 40 minutes or so, time sure goes slow.

"And if we go to my place, we could get the meeting done as well, that is, if Aurel-chan here," He casually leaned his arm onto Aurel's shoulder with a smile, "is too impatient to eat his pasta before we actually begin, so it's your choice, Aurel-chan~!"

[Aurelius Schwartz]

Aurel was sure he wasn't breathing and yet he was able to soak in Hild's scent from the warm air. ...He was sure his heart had stopped as well. Was he even living still? Had he died just now? Grasping the moment, the tall man assessed just what was happening to him. It took a few deep breaths to bring reality crashing back down and then he realized something. Reflected through his sister's cute eyes and tempting expression was manipulation: a common characteristic all woman possessed or attempted to possess. Aurel looked away in disgust, his arms still crossed in defiance. "No." He opened his eyes and stared at her coldly and then blinked and looked away again. "Why are you doing this to me?" He turned his head back towards her. He didn't want to show any form of weakness or lack of authority in front of Kida, but he guessed it couldn't be helped this time around. "Please, Hild... why do I have to go?"

Then...one of the worst things in the world happened... His hair was ruffled. Silky black strands which had been cooperating this morning now frizzed in every direction... Aurel couldn't help the deadly glare that slipped into his slitted, mismatched eyes. He whipped out his trident from nowhere and aimed it steadily at Kida's neck. "Touch me again and I'll kill you." He lowered it eventually and looked off into the distance, pretending to ignore the rest of the discussion. Until...well, Kida mentioned the meeting. Aurel was back in the conversation ASAP. Attempting to re-flatten his hair, he corrected Kida's failure in a dark voice: "It's impossible to have the meeting in your apartment seeing as the one whom we are having the meeting for is currently hospitalized due to the Aurego Invasion in South City. Did you even read the briefing, or have you forgotten." It wasn't a question. But in a way, Aurel had actually answered Kida's own question, which angered him...greatly. Aurel certainly did not desire for Kida to believe he was adhering to his musings.

[Guest]

Hild giggled at her brother's reaction. She loved him so much - he always made her laugh with his anti-human attitude. She smiled and tilted her head, before turning towards Kidato with a laugh.

"Hehe, We might have to make it a quick lunch - Aurel looks like he's ready to kill the next thing that gets in his way." Her remaining eye looked extremely kind and happy, and she walked up to her brother again with a nod. Her one eye stared at the pair of mismatched eyes.

"Come now, brother. We have to have something to eat, and you are human as well. So eat." Her kind smile turned to one of actual anger, and she took his hand, dragging him along towards some cafe that she'd noticed on the sidewalk.

"Sorry about how Aurel has been acting, Kidato, he's quite... anti-social, so I have to be direct and use force against him. It gets annoying quite easily..." Her eye narrowed, and the trio (and Raviolli-chan) kept walking on their way to the cafe that Hild had pointed out.

[TOOTSIEGIRL]

The moment Aurel pulled out that trident, the man's Tonfa was already up, guarding himself from harm as he smiled happily, as if he wasn't just defending against a life threat. But then again, he considered Aurel like a little kid, and kids have never been threatening to him.

"Mah, it's ok, just be good Aurel otherwise I might invite a few more people other than cute little Raviolli here to our meetings, as I'm pretty sure Dino and Ike would be up to it~" He hummed with a kind smile, before removing his tonfa when the trident was removed from his neck. He slid the tonfa back up the back of his suit, where it seemed to blend in, thanks to the suit's design.

"Sorry about how Aurel has been acting, Kidato, he's quite... anti-social, so I have to be direct and use force against him. It gets annoying quite easily..." Hild said as they began to walk to the cafe where Kidato and Raviolli just had cake, the young boy on the man's shoulders as he chuckled in responce, while taking about $30 out of his wallet in order to pay for the food.

"It's ok, I'm used to dealing with it, in my line of work you need to learn how to deal with all kinds of people," Kida then smirked as he spoke loud enough for the grumpy Aurel to hear, "Now, who wants what, I'm paying, so please don't go all out -Dino would kill me-."

[Aurelius Schwartz]

Aurel allowed himself to be dragged, staring blankly at his sister's hand gripping his. It didn't really matter, he guessed. Lunch wasn't important enough to argue any further over. He steeled himself to the noonday traffic of everyday life swarming around their passage. He could just barely take it. This needed to be over. Now. Cringing inwardly, he raised his eyes to the bell on the Cafe door that emitted an unwelcome cacophony. His ears were bleeding, well not really. He almost wished they were. Then he could go to the meeting at the hospital. Hah.

Hild was apologizing for him...again. Normally it would piss him off, but he felt nothing. There was no real reason to defend himself anymore; because it was true. But what on earth was Kida saying in response? Aurel raised an eyebrow at him in confusion. Kida could invite whomever he wanted to their meetings, but that didn't mean they would be allowed an audience with them. That was unethical. Maybe Aurel had to rethink his decision of using Kida in his plan. After all, if he couldn't deduct these facts on his own, he would be hopeless when faced with Aurel's intricate strategies.

As they entered the Cafe, Aurel's ears were put through another challenge when Kida boasted about paying for their food. Life was a real pain in the ass. He vaguely wondered how much more of it he could take... As of late, it was really starting to wear on him. ...Hild had gotten her wish; she really didn't need his assistance any more. He reached lightly into his black leather wallet, removing the chain. He threw a one-hundred dollar bill carelessly at Kida. "Not necessary."

[Guest]

Hild rolled her eye at the two of them. Men. Why did she bother? Kida was too... naive, even for someone who ran their underworld contacts. And Aurel, well, Aurel was Aurel. She loved him for that, but it also frustrated her no end. She'd angrily kicked him out of the bathroom when she was getting changed once, he'd almost jumped off the balcony. She only managed to stop him with seconds to spare...

"This lunch is on me, you two. Kidato, make sure Aurel gets his money back. Fuhrer's salary is nothing to sniff at." She grinned, and walked up to the counter, placing her own order of cheese and bacon ravioli, and a small glass of wine, not too much alcohol, she needed to be of right mind to deal with the pair. She then turned back to the men, and smiled, putting a hand up to her bun to make sure it was all in place.

"Hurry up you two - we need to eat and move. Go and place your orders." She nodded twice, and studied the restaurant they were in. It was... nice. Very Italian, in the excessive sense, almost. The music, the decor, the... she noted the men in suits standing nearby. The, uh, people. She sighed, obviously Kida knew a person or two in this place.

[TOOTSIEGIRL]

Almost the moment when the child-carrying man entered the restaurant, smiling at the nephew as he ticked the kid's stomach, he felt a light wind conjure behind him as he pulled out a tonfa and had it at his surprise attackers neck while he continued to play with the child as if he weren't threatening a man's life.

When he heard a light clear of his 'victim's' throat, he spun around and blinked, before retracting the tonfa -and it's spikes- and just hugging him out of no where, earning him a few curious whispers from people in the restaurant. When he let go, he passed over Raviolli with a wide grin and finally greeted the slightly freaked out man.

It was hard to predict Kidato sometimes.

"Dino!! It's so good to see you~! Has your meeting finished?" He suddenly asked as he dragged the two over to the paired fuhrer, placing an order for a bottle of coca cola and some raviolli pasta. He slightly wondered why the kid wasn't called pizza as he grinned at his half brother, "I hope so, because I need to talk to these two for a meeting myself, so if you could mind your own son for the rest of today, I'd be very greatful~! Please feed Kawaii-chan when you get back too, the poor old girl needs the best treatment possible- Hibird~!!!"

As Kidato just babbled on about what he and Raviolli did for the day, Sino had a look of being annoyed on his face before finally just silencing his half-brother with his hand, groaning loudly as his blonde hair flickered slightly. "Brother," He heard whispers of understanding in the crowd now, "Please shut up, you're going to get us all killed, and that's death by ear drums bursting I mean Mr Paranoia."

The man then nodded at his own men, who left the premises, before smiling at Kidato, "Have fun dealing with the Fuhrer, Kida, and of course I'll take my cute little boy~~~! Have a good day, and is that white or brown dog food for the old girl?" "Brown." "Alrighty~! Well take care~~~~!!!! Oh yes, Kida, don't forget to come by for dinner, Sheela's making us all another faaaaaaaaantastic meal~!!!!!!"

Kida's eyes brightened as he grinned wide, waving them off, "Ohh~! I'm there, see ya Dino-kun~!!!!" And just like that the weird family fiasco was over, leaving the premises bare of Sentini mafians once more, leaving it for the civilians, Fuhrer partners and finally the mafiaso boss Kidato. He smiled at the two as he got his order and sipped his coke, before blinking slightly at the odd looks he thought he was receiving, "What?"

//(NOTE: Dino's speech isn't coloured because it's not Kida speaking =3 But it's defintely in Amestrian)//

[Aurelius Schwartz]

Aurel did quite the opposite of what one would expect from him. Instead of trying to cut an artery in his throat with a butter knife, he laughed, highly amused by the entire affair. While his eardrums were indeed exploding, he couldn't help but find Kida by far one of the most interesting humans he had ever met. This was only their third meeting, but Aurel felt he was grasping new meaning in the man who had previously seemed like a joke. Maybe he was worth communicating with. Possibly.

Aurel ordered his food monotonously as if nothing had happened. With a swish of long, black hair, he sat down at the table, awaiting his spaghetti with vague anticipation. He was actually fairly hungry due to the fact he hadn't eaten much since the day before yesterday. Work came first, though this did seem rather entertaining and made him play with the idea of partaking in lunch again in the future.

Mismatched eyes raised from the intricate table cloth to meet those of the blushing waitress who was attempting to ask him a question. A blank stare would suffice. But then Aurel gathered that she was trying to ask him what he wanted to drink. "Tea," He murmured, diverting his attention immediately afterward. It shifted to Kida, hoping to discover something further.

...




...




"Um..." Hild just stood there. Nothing was said, nothing was done. She just... stood there, dumbfounded. The girl sighed sotly, and tried to say something - no words would leave her lips. She was really confused right about now. Something had just happened, right? Um... Something had happened...

"Guys... What...?" The voice came out quiet and silky. She was still so confused, and that was never a good thing. The girl put her index finger to her bottom lip, and tilted her head to the left. And then to the right. And the to the left again. And then she walked over to the manager of the cafe and sighed, bowing her head.

"I'll pay for any damage caused... er... If there was any." That said, suddenly realising her mistake and blushing, she asked for a drink and a muffin, and walked over to the pair, shaking her head softly.

"So violent... So much violence... I really think you two should calm down." She nodded a couple of times and giggled, before taking a bite out of her muffin and smiling. So good...

[TOOTSIEGIRL]

Kidato blinked in slight confusion as Hild seemed to babble something about violence or something, making the man chuckle as he slurped up some of his pasta. 'Mhmm... nothing breaks mental tension better than pasta' he thought with a satisfied smile, short whispy hair fluffed up on his head as he smiled at Aurel.

He had to admit he was lighlty shocked when the man simply laughed at the scene he would've though that he'd be attacked for engaging in, but he kept the slight shock behind his kind smile as he took another bite of his pasta. He was also quite happy with the fact little Raviolli was gone, but that was only for the reason that it might get serious and he didn't want the child to hear the meeting.

Not to mention that despite everything, even Kidato could easily notice when he didn't get along that great with someone, and the childish Aurel was one of those 'someones', to use a silly term.

He then took a bite with that bright, false smile of his again, waiting for someone else to start conversation, after all, it had gotten pretty quiet after Hild's awkward moment.

'Oh well... Doesn't change the fact this is good pasta...'

[Aurelius Schwartz]

Aurel received his tea; that was all that mattered. Drinking it softly without wasting a drop, he eventually finished it with calm reverence. Cold eyes accented the warm steam still rasping off the ceramic cup as he placed it back down on the table cloth. Red-blue eyes lingered there a moment before rising to behold Kidato's ridiculous smile. Aurel knew it was fake for he himself dabbled in the art of facade crafting. Scowling, he began to wonder why the other was bothering. Did he honestly think that Aurel cared whether he was happy or not? This was life; people weren't happy all the time. And Kidato's pathetic attempt to rectify that only served to anger the black-haired man.

Aurel pushed his chair out from the table and leaned backwards it in, staring sharply at Kidato as a raven would at roadkill. "Who would name their son Raviolli? It sounds like food." His frown increased and he crossed his arms, thinking a moment. Then he found himself staring back down at the table cloth. It helped him block out the crushing world around him--the mass voices, the pounding of shoes, the ringing of the bell from the door, the wailing of a baby...All were ceaseless disturbances. Clearly though, his focus was only on Kidato at this point in time.

"We are late for the meeting now," Aurel said tonelessly, his eyes still downcast. It was a simple statement and one that suggested he had no power over the situation at present. Aurel was a follower here--er--more like a prisoner, but he was very much aware of the fact that whatever he suggested would presumptuously be ignored. Well, only in this situation. He was sure that if they were on the battlefield, they would be all ears. That's all he was good for anyway.

[Guest]

"Late... SHIT!" Hild checked the wristwatch on her left hand, and suddenly stood up, pushing the table out, with half a muffin still in her mouth. She looked at Aurel and Kida, and suddenly stepped away from the table.

"C'mon! I'm the Fuhrer. If there's one thing that I'm not going to be, it's late!" She nodded, and suddenly ran out the door, leaving the claenup to the other two, sprinting off into the distance.

A Quick Sprint Later

HuUff... Huff... Huff...

Hild was drawing and releasing rapid and ragged breaths, standing... no leaning, against a tree. She looked up and around, seeing everyon staring at her. Shit... What was it? The fact that she'd just sprinted down the middle of an unused street? She blinked a couple of times, sighed and then yawned.

"Must... not... be... la-" Just about toppling over, Hild managed to catch her balance and stood up straight, looking for any signs of her brother and Kida. They were so slow! Now was the time for her to regain her breath... and her composure. Her composure, above all.

Simply because about 100 citizens had seen her panties during the run.

[TOOTSIEGIRL]

"Hi--!!" Kidato tried to call out as she took off, before he had a look of worry over his features, mixed with dread and the overwhelming want of wanting to smack himself in the head, making Dino too for naming his kid Raviolli- oh wait, he's already done that one, a bunch of times.

The man let out a breath as he cleaned up his and Hild's plates, kindly giving them to the waitress who approached in order to clean up, making her blush bright and thank him shyly, before running, probably to gossip about the nice hot guy. He then frowned at the Fuhrer's brother as he sat back down.

"Aurelius... you know that wasn't necessary..." Kida groaned out as he ran a thin hand through messy raven locks and sighed as he could've sworn he heard some screams, ad not scared but perverted ones, in the distance, "Though I'm surprised how easily she forgot..."

The look on his face just became pure dead-pan now as he stood, straightening his suit just a little, "That the meeting was just between the three of us, she'll probably take her feminine fury out on us both if we don't catch up," The man smirked as he lightly tapped the man's head with his tonfa, a smile on his face, "So I don't mind if you want to... hang around all of these strangers or not, but I have a country's reputation to save (I bet at least 100 people saw her panties in that escapade...)"

And with that, he took a bread roll, winked at the girls behind the counter (making them turn into enough mush as to not make him pay for it,) and sped off after the Fuhrer hoping god, dear non-existent god, please not let too many people see the reckless woman's god-damned panties!!

[Aurelius Schwartz]

Aurelius looked up as Kidato returned to the table, a string of spaghetti sticking out from the corner of his lips. He finished it off and stared blankly at his underworld 'friend'. Necessary? What wasn't? He twirled another fork-full of his butter-infested spaghetti and elegantly slid it into his mouth. Still watching Kida closely, Aurel nodded along with the man's musings. It was true, Hild forgot important things rather often. He only hoped that Kida wouldn't prove to be so absent-minded as well.

At Kidato's next comment, Aurel sighed deeply and stood up from the table. What a bother... "No...it's with the Head of Central HQ and his second in command as well." Aurel shook his head in dismay. Idiots. He was surrounded by idiots. The human race was really depressing... He stared at his black boots, raven hair cascading down over his eyes. There really was no need to run after her; either way they would end up in the same place. That was when the rest of Kida's words entered his unwilling ears: "(I bet at least 100 people saw her panties in that escapade...)"

...

Aurel was out of the cafe, sprinting past Kidato in half a second. The bill remained unpaid, but no one chased him, for the staff were barely able to catch up to his after-image. "Panties?" Aurel hissed under his breath, leaving a cloud of dust behind him, "I'll kill them all."

Looks like they'd caught up to her. Finally. Took them long enough. Hild sighed, leaning against the tree. She blinked at all of the people beginning to crowd around her, asking her to sign this, and to approve that, and it was starting to get on her nerves. Any longer, and them anti-war activist people would be on her heels and asking how she felt about this long and dragged out war that the previous Fuhrer had begun all those years ago. She sighed and yawned, making sure that she got rid of the bastards as quickly as she could, but it was to be expected.

She was the Fuhrer, after all. So, of course, some random appeared before her, trying to preach to her about her 'morality' in this instance. She though he was talking about the war, but when he said 'indecent exposure', Hild blinked. He knew... She grimaced, and raised her hand to the air.

"Keeeee....!" A right-handed slap later, Hild walked off into the distance, more than a little disgruntled. She could make it to the hospital without running now - even though she was late, it was better than exposing herself again. Now, where were KiIda and Aurel? They should've caught up to her by now...

"Aurel, please don't kill me, but it's for her sake!" Kida shouted out to his angry running companion as he easily caught up, before darted forward and speed tackling Hild, though he switched their positions with extreme skill and speed (as expected from the No. 1 assassin) and he skidded against a few rocks on the ground, hissing when one dug into his back, before standing up and taking off the slightly torn jacket, quickly wrapping it around Hild's waist so that from her knees up at the behind, she was covered.

He then turned to the onlookers with a VERY fierce glare, and a gun at the reader as he shouted out rather rudely (well for him anyway), "STOP BLOODY STARING AND MOVE OUT, THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO REGRET IT!" ...It didn't take long for the entire section of the park to be clear, making Kidato sweat drop a little as he hissed again, pulling the rock out of his back and throwing it away, but not before noticing the blood stain on it, meaning it was a bleeding wound.

...And all the save the Fuhrer's reputation, he really needed a new job...

"Sorry Hild-chan, I'd say I tripped but that can be associated with bad flirting, so let me put it this way: Aurelius and I were quite worried you just lost your reputation, so we decided to save it; ok, well he wanted to go on a rampage and kill all onlookers, but I think scaring them off and giving you a decent enough cover should handle it, right?

"I'd lend you my pants, but that's just plain bad in this situation, so I hope the jacket covers enough... Oh, sorry about the tear in the back, a rock broke my fall." He said with a light chuckled before reaching around the touch the wound and pulling back a blooded finger, making him frown. It was still bleeding, but it was just a surface wound, nothing was broken and it was just a fist-size stone. He'd get it bandaged up later, though he bed the red stain on his back wasn't pretty, "Ah! ... Sorry about that, oh yes, I almost forgot to remind you..."

He went completely serious dead-pan as he frowned at her, like a parent scolding a child (there was a reason his brother kept repeating 'get a girlfirend' or 'adopt' all of the time) as he said rather sternly, "That escapade was all for -ngh- nothing, the meeting was just you me and Aurel, translating into you just pulled that stunt for no real reason... PLEASE make sure of who's attending before doing that -ah- again... Shit, hold up for a second."

Scowling slightly (an expression hardly ever seen on his usually sunshine-style face), he took off his shirt and look at the back of the suit top, grimacing lightly at the fist-size blood stain. Small, but damn it hurt and was still bleeding, not to mention he couldn't reach to use his alkahestry on it. With a sigh, he did was all NORMAL doctors did in this situation:

He tore his shirt into strips with his teeth and banadaged his chest quite professionally, before tying it up and sighing. It'd probably just need two-five stiches, nothing serious, but the blood was starting to drip down his buttcrack and he always got squirmy when it did that for too long. To make sure, he wiped off the remaining free blood (not much of it, probably enough to lightly cover his four fingers on one side) and wiped it on the thoroughly destroyed shirt, before muttering a curse again and picking up his tonfa, placing the now smooth weapons in their usual place on his back, held by the pants as he tucked them slightly into the bandage. He'd re-position them later.

After mutter one final completely-out-of-character curse, he gave the two a bright smile as he lowered himself down to the grown and sat on the smooth, now lethal-rock-free (there was only the one) grass as he let out a sigh; "Anyway, you guys were the ones to call me out, so what's the problem, ne, Aurel-kun, Hild-chan?" If he didn't have that hellish look to his appearance (torn shirts and blood spots on one's back don't make you look neat, after all), he'd seem like he was completely uninjured and fine.

After all, he'd had worse, he was the No. 1 assassin of the underworld, after all.

Trust me, fall hard enough on a blunt object and it's lethal, and since rocks are sharp in places, it makes it worse. I once fell a bit too hard onto a blunt (about half an inch diameter) stick with my leg and it made a pretty bad hole, I still have the scar, and it's been 4 or 5 years now o.o
