Biting her lip, Jasey Rae averted Roran's big pitiful eyes. God, she sounded like one of those freakin' emotional kids who whine and bitch about every little thing. Boo hoo, my mom died. Boo hoo, my house burned down. Boo hoo, my brother beat me. Boo hoo, my dad's a rapist. Ugh. It was just so annoying and unnecessary. The last thing Jasey wanted to be was one of those kinda girls. So, she looked up and put on a strong smile. Hopefully smile enough to ward away Roran's unwanted pity. Then of course, he flashed that million dollar smile, and gives a slow blink of those greenie-blues. Jasey fought the urge to tell him to knock it off, but she couldn't help but love the sight of him like this. Happy because of something she did. It made her feel.. liked. Like someone cared. .....
Well, that was a weird thought.
Jasey Rae quickly shrugged that off, pushing those.. funky thoughts to the back of her mind for later.
"Don't be sorry for being opinionated. Just maybe next time....try and find a better way to share your opinions?"
Jasey Rae rolled her eyes at that one. But for some reason, she was smiling while she did it. It was really, very cute. How he tried to advise her to do the right thing, when it was so obvious she was a lost cause. Again the thoughts of being cared about flared up. Damn! So again, she offered a curl of the lips. "Yes, of course Roran." she said playfully. "I tend to forget there's more than one way." Well wasn't that the truth...
As they were sitting there, a moment of silence had passed between them. It was a comfortable silence, and it felt kinda.. relaxing. But then Jasey fianlly looked up from her rings and was slapped with something equally nice. Whapow! He flashed that electric smile, and looked at her with this strange look. Again with that smile of, as long as you're happy, I'm happy! It almost wasn't fair. That he could be so expressive and readable, and Jasey was this closeted little monster. [ lulz. monsters in yer closet. ]
"They must be extremely precious to you,"
Whapow! Again with those heartfelt deadpans. But as she admired the rings, she was forced to nod and smile. "Yeah.. I guess you could say that." Where was the wit? Where were the snappy comments, and the snide remarks? Had Roran been devising a way for Jasey to look like a total goon? Well, it wasn't too hard.
Rea.. Rea and Roran. The names even went together! But having a sickly sister is tough.. She gave him a sympathetic nod, as a sign to continue. And his brother.. a mute? Who steals? Well.. at least he had something going for him.. And then.. A pregnant mother? Well, that was exciting. Minus the whole stretching out your vag, part. Whoever had said childbirth was beautiful, had an exceptional dealer. Though, back to Roran. It was no wonder he is the way he is. He had to take care of his siblings his whole life, each one of sort of demanding thanks to their specific ailment. Jasey wondered if his siblings were as angelic as him, or if they were but lowly mortals like Jasey. "Wow.. so that's why you're such a hugable person," Oh wow. That slipped. But she continued on anyways. Silently hoping, and not hoping at the same time that he would actually hug her for such a comment. "I mean.. you had to be like.. A role model to them. And actually act like a genuine person, so they would follow in your footsteps. Do they act like you Roran, are they a big ole' group of genuine kids trying to be like their, big brother?"
Jasey had no idea why she was actually analyzing him.. or that she even cared. Who knows, maybe this was her way pf repaying him for caring about what she had to say. Payback didn't seem the right term.
"What's your home like?"
Jasey gave a sort of tentative choke of laughter. "Well, I actually don't have a home right now. Kinda homeless," Jasey Rae said with a sharp laugh. When in actuality, having to travel around looking for a Pokémon station just to sleep was downright depressing. "but I used to live in this crappy four-bedroom apartment. I mean, it wasn't nice.. I mean it was right by this annoying as hell busy street. But it was real homey. You know? Like when you walked in, it was crap.. But it was your crap. I shared a room with my brother Ryan." she paused to let out a laugh. "that was a real blasty-blast." She then stopped. She was not going to reminisce about every little damn thing! No. That would be stupid, and then Roran would think she was actually a sweet little girl underneath her vicious exterior. And Jasey would tell you that was the stupidest thing she'd ever heard of. When in actuality, Jasey wasn't a honeysweet little angel. Not at all. She was human. It was just a bit difficult to scope out the humanity.. "What about your house, Professor Roran? Do you live in a nifty little secret room in your lab where you keep all your top secret experiments?" Jasey prodded with a laugh.
Just then, a woman came holding a tray filled with all sorts of goodies. First, the woman set down Roran's coco. A chocolaty dream with a dollop of whipped cream and what looked like shaved choclate coating the little white mountain of creme. Next, the woman placed Jasey's foaming cappuccino in front of her. Careful not to spill a drop. And finally she set down three-- BIG biscottis. They were bigger than usual, but Jasey wouldn't complain. So she looked at the waitress and gave a dismissive glance. Then looked back to Roran. "Chow down Roran m'boy." Jasey said with a smile as she motioned to the biscottis.
My boy.. for some reason that sounded good coming from her mouth. [ IS THIS SUBTLE ENOUGH? 8DDD ]

Roran listened to every word she said yet again. Suddenly a smile appeared as she revealed the fact that he was a 'hugable' person. With all this smiling today thank god he brushed. Well technically he brushed everyday three times. It was just something that he couldn't forget as if it was programmed into that head of his. "Thank you..." he muttered out quickly before she continued. Good Roran, you have to use those manners your mum taught you.
"Are they like me?" Hmm. That was a tough question for once. A question that he didn't know the answer to.
"Well...Rea is usually sweet but sometimes she just won't take much responsibility." That was true. Every once in awhile she would use her 'fragile' excuse a bit too often. It was an easy way to pin the blame on someone else. 'I didn't break the vase, I was way over here using my oxygen machine. I need to use it daily afterall. I don't have much time for running around the house with a baseball bat like Roran does.' Lies of course. She had been the one who ran around with a basebal bat, smashing everything and anything breakable. She was even smart enough to sneak in Roran's name. Roran, being the softy he was, took the blame and was banned from reading his book and forced to go to a birthday party. Roran wasn't really a social bug so it was torture. That day he got his pants pulled down and his face shoved into a cake.
"Ledin and I are both quiet." Ohohoho. Roran made a joke. Incase you didn't get it, which most people wouldn't probably have caught on to the lame joke, Ledin is MUTE. Get it? Feel free to laugh at Roran but make him think you're actually laughing at the joke please. It'll hurt his heart if you don't. "And I don't know anything about the baby."
"WHAT NO HOME?" Roran nearly shouted as he heard her talk about her home. Then of course did he realize that she was talking about here in Chey. "Oh...for a moment there I thought you were homeless back where you live. If housing is ever a problem, you can come stay with us..." he trailed off as he realized he had said 'us'. Had he been talking about him and his pokemon or him and Janel? He really didn't know. "I live in a..." He didn't really want to call it a mansion because then it would be as if he was bragging but it infact was a large mansion. Like one a celeb would live in. "house by the lake. It's got a pool and field and a forest." Naturally he stopped himself again in fear of sounding cocky.
Then of course the food came. He ignore the biscotti for now, wanting Jasey to get the first one. Roran's eyes widened at the hot chocolate. "WHIPPED CREAM?" Oh his dad never let him have that back home. Heck, he wasn't really allowed to have sweets at all. "Ermm..." he looked to Jasey and her stuff. "I don't think my dad would let me have this. He says that when I have too much sugar, I get really hyper." Hot Chocolate usually had tons of sugar but maybe daddy-o wouldn't mind one sip....or two...or three. As Roran began to take sip after sip, his tongue savored the flavor. So yummy. "Thank youuuuu <33" There was something about his voice. It sounded a little more excited. A bit more....hyper?

Not exactly to her surprise, Jasey Rae quickly noted the big 'huggable' smile that had dictated Roran's face. Just from one measly compliment. Way too polite. And way too easily excited. But then again, Jasey had been the one to blush and stutter over a simple admiration of her smile. Well fine then. They could be lame together. "Thank you..." Jasey tried to ignore the kindness in his voice. She couldn't just ignore him when he was being so damn polite. She was human after all [ ORLY? ] ... So she acknowledged his manners with a somewhat strained nod and tiny simper.
"Well...Rea is usually sweet but sometimes she just won't take much responsibility."
If her brother Ryan had been next to her right then, Jasey would have given him a forceful elbow jab. Ryan would always go around flaunting his big blue eyes, and sweetasaugar smile. Grinning innocently, then tricking unsuspecting ladies back to the house. Jasey shared a room with Ryan. Think about trying to fall asleep.. to the sound of your brothers moans. Not so great actually. Then of course, he would always vanish in the mornings. Leaving Jasey Rae to deal with the bawling young highschool girl. Not fun. So Jasey continued to listen intently, nodding in understanding.
"Ledin and I are both quiet."
Jasey couldn't help but snort at that one. Jasey Rae was always one for ironic humor. Well... she couldn't really relate to that. all of her family was loud and aloof. The thought of having a mute brother brought a small smile to her face. "Must be nice." Jasey Rae deadpanned. "Living with four, loud, testosterone-high adolescent boys, kind of makes you lose your faith in humanity." She ended with a playful sigh.
"WHAT NO HOME? Oh...for a moment there I thought you were homeless back where you live. If housing is ever a problem, you can come stay with us..."
Jasey kept her face impassive and nonchalant as Roran's voice raised to a nearbellow. She gave a quirk of her brow. "Cool your jets there, Yamaha," she then paused to offer a small smile. "And.. are you serious? You'd really rent out a space to me? I'm not sure I'd wanna intrude on your lovepad or anything.. I bet you invite all the ladies over to your house." Jasey Rae finished with a tentative chuckle. The thought of Roran being a pimp.. that was a laugh. What would his street name be? Pimp Tender? Pimp Luvvin'? Pimp Babyface? Keh. [ PIMP SECRET AGENT? METHINKS YES. ] But the thought of having a home offered a sort of warm feeling in her belly. When was the last time she had fallen asleep where she wasn't afraid of fleas emerging from the pillows or sheets to come and eat her alive. Yes, the Pokemon center lodges were nasty places, no doubt. Practically every poor, and out of luck trainer slept in those beds. Accompanied with all sorts of diseases, and transferable disorders. Scary, right? Maybe she would stay with Pimp Luvvin'. If he could handle it.
"I don't think my dad would let me have this. He says that when I have too much sugar, I get really hyper."
Jasey Rae gave a roll of her eyes, and leaned in as if she were telling him a secret. "Psst. Your daddy isn't here." If it had been anyone other than Roran, she would have slipped in something very, dirty. Because c'mon. He left that wide open.
"Thank youuuuu <33"
Eyes went wide open as she saw him begin to gurgle like a baby. Jasey Rae's face couldn't remain passive as she watched Roran from quiet and shy, to a well.. more giggly and outgoing. It was very amusing. Is that all it took to break the resolve of the pacifist professor? Well then. This little excursion was getting very interesting. Jasey began to slowly sip at her espresso, keeping a weary eye on Roran. Just making sure he didn't go on a sugar-rage and start screaming and crying and throwing over tables-- yelping for more sugar. ..... It happens alright?! Carefully she grabbed at a biscotti, then began to stir it in her espresso meticulously. Then lifted the soggy, dripping chocolate delight into her mouth. She didn't get crazy sugar highs with caffeine. The more sugar she drugged up on, the nicer she was. Roran was definitely getting a treat... a nice cup of coco wasn't anywhere near as rare as seeing a pleasant, happy, Jasey Rae.

"Must be nice. Living with four, loud, testosterone-high adolescent boys, kind of makes you lose your faith in humanity."
"It is nice I guess..." Roran began slowly and calmly as he sipped his coco as if it were tea. His pinky was raised and all. A real English gentleman. But any good English gentleman would offer thanks for quite nearly everything so that's what Roran was going to do. "Thank you for bothering to listen to me drag on about my family when you've hardly said anything about yours." He paused for yet another sip of coco, the whipped cream getting all up onto his upper lip. Now he had the mustache of an English gentleman. "Family shouldn't make you lose your faith in humanity, it should make you realize how good home is compared to the rest of this world. Back at home, everything was served to us on a platter. Here, we've got to earn it ourselves." Oh dear. Roran had a habit of slipping his outlook on life into conversations randomly.
"And.. are you serious? You'd really rent out a space to me? I'm not sure I'd wanna intrude on your lovepad or anything. I bet you invite all the ladies over to your house."
Roran smiled immediately. "Of course you can have the space." Did she honestly think he'd refuse her? "But you don't have to pay. I pay for the lot.” What the heck was she talking about? Lovepad? That sounded dirty. “I only have one other friend there. Her name’s Janel. I’m sure she’d love you.” Little did he know that chances were that the two would secretly hate eachother. Wait a minute. Janel. Roran sipped his coco and stared at Jasey in a daze. He had a lot of thinking to do and it wasn’t going so well. It was as if he only just realized that Janel lived with him. She was the girl that he had so many awkward silences. The girl he used to adore that is until Jasey came along. Ever since he met her, Janel fell for some other guy, and Roran realized how fun a conversation could be. Yeah. Jasey’s conversations were fun. Janel’s were awkward.
"Psst. Your daddy isn't here.”
He hardly heard her little crack. He would have smiled again if he had. Thinking was such terrible work wasn’t it? For some reason he secretly wished that it was Jasey in his home instead of Janel. But the more he wished that the worse his head hurt. That was so rude to want something like that. Where would Janel go? By the look on his face, Jasey would be able to tell that he was deep in thought.
“I have to piss…” Roran stated bluntly. It was a small out of character moment but it just came out. He needed to get away from Jasey in order to think for a moment without being tempted to stare into her gorgeous eyes. He set his drink down and scooted his chair back. He got up and nearly ran towards the bathroom. He did everything without even glancing towards her. There was only one small-ish problem. Roran was too deep in thought to realize which bathroom he was going into. He walked right into the ladies bathroom. Roran plus girls’ bathroom equals fun for me, torture for him.
Apparently there was a school field-trip and they were treating this café as a rest stop. That meant a bathroom full of young gossiping girls. They all screamed in unison as Roran came in. Certain girls were quick enough to shout things such as ‘pervert’. The shout caused Roran’s head to snap up. Wrong bathroom. His face went pink and he stumbled backwards. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, I was just….” He trailed off as he looked at their bathroom. “So this is what it looks like in here. Doors on the stalls?” Well that got him thinking. “HEY. Wait one second! The guys bathroom isn’t like this. We don’t have doors on the stalls or…what’s this? A candy machine! We don’t have one of those!” Well the tampon dispenser did resemble a candy machine. Kinda. “I want doors on the stalls and a candy machine in our bathroom!” He fiddled for some pocket change in his pocket as he examined the ‘candy machine’. After he put in the money, a tampon popped out. “What’s this? A sucker?” He pulled off the wrapper and looked it over. It didn’t look like a sucker. He tasted it with the tip of his tongue. “It tastes like plastic.”
