Julien quickly lead Nina through the hallways and to the mess hall. He opened the large doors to find the large room mostly empty. "Odd," he thought to himself before he remembered that not many people were awake at 7 A.M.
Julien took in a breath and smelled the wonderful smell of fresh fruit, not the chemical imitation of fruit. Now, not to be miss understood! Nina's hair smelled wonderful, just like home, but nothing could beat the smell of good, intoxicating, savory smell of fresh fruit!! Julien all but leaped to the food, nearly dragging Nina with him.
Once they finally reached the buffet, Julien turned to Nina at his side. "What do you usually eat for breakfast, Noona?" He tilted his head slightly to one side and gave her a heartfelt smile. He was so happy. This was going to be one of the best vacations EVER!

Nina mirrored Julien's smile and chose to show him her breakfast choice instead of telling him. She reached for a bowl, into which went freshly made white rice along with steamed bamboo, little slices of mandarin oranges, and scrambled eggs. She wasn't supposed to have meat with breakfast, but eggs didn't count. A few steps down the line, Nina grabbed a pair of chopsticks and a napkin, and put these on a tray along with the bowl of food. What to drink? There was water, milk, coffee, orange j-- Ooh, Rhythan had put out pineapple juice. Nina's favorite.
Nina slid her tray to the end of the line and watched Julien, grinning.

Julien observed Nina's food choice and smiled. "I don't think mine will be much of a surprise," he mused. He got a plate for himself and began to place random amounts of every fruit onto it. "Hmmm," he talked quietly to his self, " . . .some mangoes, oranges, strawberries . . ." Until his plate couldn't hold anymore. He walked down to the drinks and out of impulse picked a large glass of water. It wasn't waterfall water but water is always good. He grabbed a fork, which he was still learning how to use and walked over to Nina.
He took his seat next to her and smiled. He tilted his head slightly at her glass. "And what is that?" he asked perplexed.

"Pineapple juice." Nina took a sip and smiled at Julien over the rim of the glass. "It's my favorite. Want a taste?"

Julien raised a quizzical eyebrow. A taste certainly wouldn't hurt. "Sure!" He answered excitedly, "Why not?"
He carefully took the cup and lifted it to his lips. It tasted . . . DELICIOUS!! Julien's eyes widened. He gave the cup back to Nina and stood. "If you will excuse me, I'm going to get some too now!" He said to her with a huge smile before leaping over to the drinks.

Kyo came into the mess hall, spotting his roommate just as he was prancing away from a table. Kyo's gaze stayed at that table, at which sat a rather pretty blonde girl. This must have been the "noona" he kept hearing Julien mention.
Kyo walked along the wall until he got to the table. Ah, but he recognized this girl. As far as he had observed, she responded best to physical contact. And she was rather punchy. That was good for Kyo. She was be a useful person to have on call.
Kyo mussed his hair and exaggerated his stride to the point of it resembling more of a groggy stagger, plopping down into the seat on the blond's other side. He stretched his arms in front of him in a well-orchestrated yawn, then let his head fall over sideways where it rested on the girl's forearm.
"Morning."

As soon as Julien's back was turned part of him regretted it. The inner animal inside him, arched it's back and hissed. What was this? Julien looked over his shoulder. Oh, well, that explained a few things.
Julien could feel his smile twisting into something a bit more sinister. He narrowed his eyes and glared at his room mate. The animal in Julien wanted to leap over to the table and smack Kyo's head off of Nina, but . . . that would not be polite, besides he had no reason to feel . . . whatever this emotion was called.
Julien walked back over to his seat and placed his juice on the table. "Hi there, Kyo," Julien said, unable to change his angry twisted smile, "and WHY are YOU up so early this morning?"

Kyosuke couldn't help the smile that made his eyes squint slightly. "Didn't you hear the bus peal out earlier? I think it woke up everyone on this side of the castle." He gave another yawn and straightened, running a hand through his snowy hair. "When were you going to introduce me to your pretty friend?" He faced the blond and gave a handsome grin. "Are you the 'Nina noona' he talks about? Or the snake-boned girl? I could never tell if they were one in the same."

Nina blinked a few times, having just taken a bite of egg and bamboo. She tapped the chopsticks against her lower lip while she chewed. "Morning."
At Julien's return, she arched one eyebrow. That smile was not one she'd seen before. She didn't know how she felt about it. She watched her friend as he spoke, then turned her gaze on the newcomer for his reply. She wasn't bothered by his proximity to her-- she had gotten quite used to having no personal space. But wait-- hadn't he been the one that Gussumaru had thrown the... table... at a while back?

"Oh, I see," Julien replied to his room mate. Hmmmm, interesting. This was the most they had spoken since they first met and realized they would be sharing a room. Julien wondered if this could have anything to do with HIS Nina noona. "And yes, this is my Nina noona. I haven't introduced you two before because YOU," Julien raised a threatening eyebrow at Kyo, "never seemed interested." Julien thought only Kemekin cause him to feel the fire in his stomach.
Julien quickly fixed his features so he regained most of his usual smile back. He sat down next to Nina and began eating, not removing his eyes from his nemesis, roomie, enemy, Kyo!

Kyo shrugged. "Being interested and seeming interested are two very different things, my friend." He grinned and looked up at the array of food. The mixed smells of the breakfast buffet made his stomach growl in anticipation.
"I'll be right back," he said, smirking.

Nina blinked a few times, looking from Julien to Kyo. The tanned boy was peeling that orange with a vengeance.
Kyo left, and Nina watched him walk off to the buffet line before turning back to Julien.
"I'm... pretty sure I missed something, there."

Julien glanced over at Kyo and took a large bite out of his orange. He kept on imagining that the orange was that stupid white haired fox's face. Julien smiled at the bitten orange. Kyo no longer had a face, keeeee.
Julien then turned to Nina, "I think I missed something too. Kyo has never shown ANY signs of interest in meeting you." He licked a dribble of juice from the corner of his mouth. "I'm wondering why he's so interested in you all of a sudden?"
Julien's eyes were suddenly directed to the corner of Nina's mouth. "Uh, Noona, you have . . ." Julien reached out and gently wiped a grain of rice off of Nina's face. "There," he said, finally smiling at Nina with all of his cheerfulness.

"Ah, he got here the same time you did. He's probably just wanting to make friends. I'm afraid the assertive approach only really works for Kemekin, though." Nina wiped her wrist across her cheek and grinned. "Thanks."
Nina took another bite of her food and was silent while she chewed. She traced little designs in the remains of the rice with the ends of her chopsticks.

Julien chuckled to his self "just wanting to make friends" his butt. Julien wasn't sure why he felt that way. All that he knew is that he did.
Julien quickly finished off the Kyo-orange and started to nibble on some strawberries. "So, what kind of things did you have in mind for today before I showed up to your rescue, Nina?" Julien asked with a smile. Kyo or no Kyo Julien was damned determined to enjoy his Keme-less time with Nina while it lasted.

Nina thought about it for a second. What had she been planning to do?
"I guess I was going to get some artwork done. I have a project due when break ends, and I promised Du I'd draw stuffs for her." She grinned. "Though if you wanted to hang outside, I could work while you leap. Maybe I could draw you?"

Hmmmmm, "art". Julien had never really tried to draw, though one random person he met a long time back said that he might be good at it. But he felt like he was better at leaping.
"That sounds like fun!!" Julien exclaimed with a smile after swallowing some pineapple. "I've never been drawn before. . . .What would you like to have me do, Noona?"

Nina smirked. "You don't have to do anything but play," she said, her voice colored by a chuckle. "I'll just draw what I see."

"I do have a habit of moving pretty fast." Julien pondered for a moment and smirked, "Would you like to draw an adorable lemur instead?"

Nina shrugged. "I can work with either. It's whatever you want to do."
Nina stood and went to place her dishes on the line.

Julien quickly followed Nina and looked around the mess hall. No sign of the fox boy, where ever he had shinpoed off too, Julien was glad he wasn't there anymore. He could finally relax and enjoy his Nina time.
Julien took her hand gently in his. "Come along, Noona," Julien began to skip and mumble-sing, "off to drawing we go, off to drawing we go, high ho the dairy oh," and then he shouted, "TREES HERE WE COME!!!"

Julien was once again . . . hungry. Why did he have to get hungry so dang often. Stupid high metabolism. He dashed to the buffet which since it was still the morning, oh 9:45 ish, there was still fruit on the line of delectables.
Julien picked up a plate and was more picky with his food choices. Some pineapple (he was craving it), mangoes, and grapefruit. He also needed some protein so, maybe some nuts . . . eggs weren't much of an option and any real meats such as bacon would make him sick. He would know, he remembered trying, and the aftermath was not desirable, that did not make him tingle tingle. So, nuts it was.
He sat in the seat he had earlier that morning and began to eat. He hoped Nina showed up soon. He didn't do well with being alone all the time. He did need his alone time, but now was not one of those times.

Nina had made it up to her room without dropping anything. That is, until she managed to open the door using her foot, and her cellphone went off. The sound of F.T.Island's Flower Rock blasting from her pocket threw her off balance, and she'd landed pretty solidly on her rump. She'd managed to keep her hold on the sketch pad and supplies, but the board slipped from beneath her arm and glanced off of her knees. Nina left the things on the floor and stepped back out of the room, closing the door as she answered the cell call. "Flower Rock" was Kemekin's ringtone-- chosen specifically because he'd thought it was cute how much Nina had fangirled the music video when it had come out.
"Keme~! Annyounghaseo."
"Why hello there, beautiful," Kemekin's voice buzzed from the other end of the connection. "I'm looking at a rack of possible gifts for you. Quick, pick a color-- green or yellow?"
Nina arched an eyebrow and started on her way back to the mess hall as she spoke. "Ah... ow, that hurt... Um... Green?"
There was a pause from the other end. "What hurt? Oh, green it is, then. What happened?"
"I fell. Landed on my bum. No laughing."
Kemekin laughed. "Pssh. Alright." Nina heard him say something to someone on his end, "That one, please." Then, "Okay. I have to go. I'll text you later, alright? You have fun. Love you."
Nina smiled. She had reached the mess hall by this time, and was just walking through the doors as she said, "Love you, too. Bye."
She spotted Julien and made her way over to the table, arching an eyebrow at the food piled on his plate.
"Your metabolism must be exhausted," she commented.

Julien's ears perked at bit. He heard Nina's voice say, "I love you." But there had been a "too" on the end of the phrase meaning that someone needed to say "I love you" first. Julien had an idea as to who had said it and he did not want to acknowledge the Kemekin that had probably said it. So he decided to ignore the happening all together.
He smiled at her, his mouth full of mango. He swallowed and asked, "What are you talking about, Nina?"

Nina shrugged. "Kemekin was calling to check up on me." She grinned and took the seat next to Julien. Her cheeks were tinged with a slight shade of pink. She realized suddenly that she was missing Kemekin. And Dubhiarr and Jaebi.
She sighed, still grinning, and folded her arms on the table before resting her head atop them.
"So," she said through her hair, "how is your brunch?"
