[Kane]

[read this before the 10/9-10/17 mini. This is the first DB mini in the series.]

Kane: *only half paying attention to whomever sat down, flipping through notepad to make sure everything else was taken care off, puts notepad back in pocket, pulls out a small menu from another pocket* Hi...welcome to the Munich beer hall...-kindaoutaitfromalongdayatcollegeXD- *staring at a spot on the menu more than anything*

Ed: ......Hi, uh...Kane? -likehellorecognizemewoman-

Kane: ...*blinks a bit, looks up in surprise* ...oh...-blinkblink- H..hi Edward....I...didnt expect to see you here....

Ed: Can't exactly say I, er, expected to see you here either...-laughs a little- You work here then?..

Kane: ...*puts the menu down* Er...yeah...I do...I've worked here since the springtime.

Ed: Oh...well, cool... nice to see you -picks up the menu-

Kane: ...yeah...you too...do you know if you want anything to drink to start?

Ed: Uh, yeah, I'll have the house ale. -he feels awkward XD-

Kane: *swallows and nods, tucks hair behind her ears -nervoushabbitxD-* right...Ill be back with that....*vanishes to the bar*

Ed: -sets his menu down, sort of watching her go-

Kane: *returns three minutes later with the ale and a few napkins, sets them down, puts the napkins in front of him and moves the drink on top of it* ...did..you decide what you would like to order?

Ed: Just the Ale, thanks...-can'tafoordanythingelseXD-

Kane: ...right....*nods* you can...flag me down whenever you're done if I dont see you. You and another table are my last for the night. I'll be around in a bit....

Ed: Thanks -picks up the mug- If you've got a minute before you're finished, take a load off we can talk -smiles a bit, still awkward-

Kane: ....*blinks and smiles a bit* That'd be..nice...

-took care of other people-

Ed: -sipping the last dreggs of his ale-

Kane: *comes over to his table* ...mind...if I join you? *tries to smile a little* the..other table was done sooner than I expected.

Ed: I don't mind -smiles a bit and sets his cup down- Wouldn't have offered otherwise

Kane: ....*smiles a bit and slips into the seat across from him* I..thought not...

Ed: Yeah..-sips his drink again- ...How was your evening?

Kane: ....I guess...it was kind of long....I came here pretty much right after school and have been here since.

Ed: Ah, yeah...no break in between? that sucks

Kane: *shakes head some* I dont ever really take too many breaks...sometimes I dont have time for them. It seems to stay busy here...alot..*shakes head a little* how...how was your evening?

Ed: -shrugs- Uneventful...I just, ah, went home -andstudiedlikehellbutthatsbesidethepoint-

Kane: *gives a small smile* I guess thats good...

Ed: Yeah, I guess -smiles a tiny bit-

Kane: .....*points to the mug* I can take that from you if you want, and bring you back the tab....

Ed: Uh, s-sure -littlebitofstammering- thanks..

Kane: *nods* okay...*stands up and takes his glass back to the bar, writes out the tab, puts it on the table* I'll be right back...-disappears for a minute-

Ed: Okay...-reaches for the tab and pulls out his wallet to find the marks-

Kane: *comes back* Ill get you the receipt in a second..*takes the tab to the register on the other side of the building and fiddles with it, closes the register and catches left sleeve in it, rips sleeve* -itcouldhappentoanyoneXD- ...shit...*walks back to him with the receipt and is half-covering arm half-holding the sides of the sleeve together* sorry..about the delay...*goes to set the paper on the table*

Ed: -pockets the receipt- Thanks...-small frown- What happened to your arm? Are you alright? -noscrapeoranything?-

Kane: ..yeah im fine. I caught the sleeve in the register and it tore up my arm. *shrugs* It couldve happened to anyone.

Ed: -oo- Your arm? Shouldn't you bandage it or something?

Kane: ......Ill be fine till I get home. *small shifting movement*

Ed: Are you sure? If you hurt yourself...

Kane: ...*shakes head* im fine...

Ed: Uh...okay

Kane: ....*reaches back and pulls the apron off over her head* 'scuse me...*leaves to go hang it up*

Ed: Right...-he's like 'oodealwithyourarm' ><-

Kane: ...*returns, managed to find a pin to hold the sleeves together for the time being* I..dont know about you, but generally the crowd that has more desire for liquor tends to come in around this time. Unless you want to accidentally get punched I'd suggest leaving soon...*faint smile*

Ed: Right...had that happen before -laughs a little and stands up-

Kane: ...*small grin* Yeah...*slowly turns to make way to door*

Ed: -follows after her and once they're outside- So, uh, home I guess

Kane: ...yeah...my house is between here and the college. where's yours?

Ed: Other direction, way the hell on the other side of town. -thepoorsideoftownXD-

Kane: ...wow...you came pretty far...

Ed: -shrugs- I was just wandering, ended up here...-walkinginabitofadaze-

Kane: ....*blinks, gives a small laugh* I cant stand walking for long periods of time...*begins walking down the path*

Ed: I kinda like it..-walks with her until his comes to the place where he needs to turn the opposite direction-

Kane: *stops, too* So.....I..guess I'll see you tomorrow?

Ed: Yeah, see you then, math class ->>-

Kane: ...ick. This might be an interesting year, given the turnout from today...*half-laugh*

Ed: -chuckles a bit too- Yeah, it probably will be..

Kane: *grins a bit* Yeah....see you, then.... *turns on heel and slowly begins to walk away*

Ed: Seeya -waves and turns heading on his way-

Kane: -walkingwalkingwalking- ...oh fuck...-groupofthreetwenty-someyearoldguys- *tries to slow pace to gain time till she passes them*

Ed: -walkingwalking, goes to put his hands in his pockets, realizes there's nothing in them-...fuck..-groans, and turns around to head back-

Kane: *begins to walk past* -dontnoticemedontnoticeme><-

Guy: ....hey fellas, check this out...-and Im just going to say that she tried to walk past but ended up getting surrounded XD- *eventually grabs her arm*

Kane: ...let me the fuck go you son of a bitch. *tries to twist out of his grip*

Guy: Oh, oh...she's complaining...settle down girlie...this will be easier..

Kane: ...no!

Ed: -walkingwalking /back/ sort of scowering the ground for his wallet, hears the commotion, frowns and heads in the direction of the voices, momentarily forgetting about his wallet, when closer to the group- ...Hey, whats going on over here? -sounding amicable as ever-

Guy: *has a firm hold on her right arm, turns to look at Ed* Nothing unusual. -slightly slurred words- We're just walking our friend here home.

Kane: ...like fucking hell you are! *twists against his grip, hears a small cracking sound* -fuck><- *still tries to twist out, slightly more cracking, stops*

Guywithplank(Plank): Hey girl..hold still. *walks up from behind the other guy in front of her and the first one, holding the plank to say "look what I have, back off if you know whats good for you"*

Guy2: *steps forward and grabs the strap on her bag* I'd do as he says...

Ed: -steps up casually and clocks the idiot holding her arm on the side of his face-

Guy: *clocked, stumbles backward and lets go of her arm, rubbing the side of his face* what the hell, dont interfere! this isnt your buisness!

Plank: *brings the plank in to blindside the side of his face*

Kane: ...Ed watch it!

Guy 2: *goes to grab Kane again*

Kane: dont touch me! *grabs the bottle out of his hand and brings it around to hit the side of his head, breaks the bottle, spilling its contens on him and herself*

Guy2: *pretty much KOd*

Ed: -holds his arm up to block the plank, wrongarmowfuck>< twists his automail around and upercuts the goons jaw-

Plank: *uppercutted, stumbles backwards a good number*

Guy: Kid, mind your own buisness! *steps forward for Ed*

Kane: *steps between them, with her back to Ed, brings the broken beer bottle in front of her chest in a supplementary position* Get the fuck out of here you low life, or I'll stab this through your face and make you wish you were in pain.

Guy: ...*stops dead, thinks about it for a second before looking to Plank* ...come on, lets get outto' here....*hastily hurls Guy2 over his shoulder, staggers a bit under the weight, begins to make his way away from there*

Plank: *hastily follows, rubbing jaw*

Ed: What fucking morons -armthrobbingowignoreit- -turns to Kane- Are you alright? Did they hurt you? Cause I will go after 'em

Kane: ....slightly shaken...but...they didnt do anything....-almostbrokemyarminhalfthough><- *tosses the half of the bottle in the bin under the light and puts hand on arm, holding it up -godforbiditbreak-* They hurt you, though....I saw your arm get hit *turns to look at him* Are /you/ alright?

Ed: -pulls his arm against his stomach beneath his ribs, smiles a bit- I'm fine, nothing bad...-I'mgettingrustyletathughitme>>-...Your arm, are you sure you're alright?

Kane: ....*tightens grip on arm* im fine...

Ed: -frowns- That's the one you hurt earlier too, isn't it? Here, let me see.

Kane: .....its fine...-kindofquick,slightlynervoustone,onlymentallypanickingalittle-

Ed: Kane...what is it?

Kane: ...its nothing....

Ed: Seriously, did they hurt you? Let me see -heisn'tjustgonnagiveuphethinkstheyhurther-

Kane: ...they didnt...

Ed: Let me see -worriedface:<-

Kane: .....its fine....-slightly"avoidingthepoint"face-

Ed: Kane, just let me see. He was grabbing you pretty hard

Kane: ...*shakes head* it wasnt so bad....-yesitwas,hecrackedplastic>>-

Ed: Yeah, it was. Are you embarrassed or something? Listen, I don't care just let me see what he did

Kane: ...*just shakes head*

Ed: ...Come on -godyou'restubborn- /Please/

Kane: *quiet voice* its fine....I promise...

Ed: Then what /is/ i-...-remembers from earlier in the day, and the sound it made- ..........Kane, your arm is it...? -prosthesis><-

Kane: ....*inhales a bit sharply, looks to the side* -jesuschristwhyareyousoobservant?><-

Ed: -quiet-..Prosthetics?

Kane: .....*quiet, too* yes...

Ed: -after a while- Sorry, to pry...but..-quieter- mine, too

Kane: ...what?...*looks at him* ...but...how....-youcanmovebothyourarms-

Ed: Mine's, ah, a little different...my -ugh- father's design

Kane: ......oh. I...see....*swallows and looks to the side again*

Ed: Is it okay? How broken?

Kane: ....*moves hand a bit down upper arm* ...could be worse. Its cracked...in a few places.

Ed: Is it gonna need replaced?

Kane: .....dunno. Ill...see what I can do to fix it. I have a spare at the house...in case something...cant say I was expecting /this/...happened....

Ed: No, can't say I was either...-gladIcamebackwhydidIdothatagain?- ..Now before something else happens we should go...I'll walk you home.

Kane: .....*blinks* ...why did you backtrack, though? You said you lived the other direction....did you loose something?

Ed: Uh..Oh! Ah, shit -><- I think I dropped my wallet...somewhere

Kane: .....we should find that....

Ed: ..I'll live, come back and look for it tomorrow if those idiots were headed anywhere it's probably back to the bar

Kane: ...you sure?

Ed: Yeah, I'm sure...-mightstopandlookonmywayback-

Kane: .....*looks at him* ....you should come inside and put some ice on your arm....

Ed: No, no...I wouldn't want to intrude and it's late...my arm's fine -mostly-

Kane: ....you wouldnt be intruding since I just invited you. And...my uncle is away on buisness. You wouldnt bother anyone....they hit your arm pretty hard...

Ed: ...uh..well, I guess..thanks.

Kane: *nods, rummages through the bag for keys and unlocks the door, pushing it open, holds it open for him*

Ed: -goes through- Uh thanks, again..

Kane: ....yeah no problem....you can...come in....*turns on a desktop lamp and closes door* the kitchen is this way...*walks into said room, points at the table* sit...

Ed: -follows after her and goes a little hesitantly to the table, sits down- My arm's fine, really..

Kane: I think I heard more than I saw. You're...going to have a pretty bad bruise. This is the least you can do for it at the moment...*goes to the freezer and pulls an ice pack out, walks over to the table, holds it out to him*

Ed: -takes the icepack, sets it on the table an goes to roll up his shirt sleeve, pales a little and stops reaches for the icepack and puts it on over his sleeve- You sure you're alright..?

Ed: That's good...-suddenly laughs a little- it's been an interesting day...

Kane: ...*smiles a bit* yeah....it has....*moves some and pulls right hand into lap, puts left hand over it* didnt really expect any of it....

Ed: Neither did I...-smiles just a little- At least not all of it was bad.

Kane: *looks at him* thats true...*smile grows a bit more prominent* hopefully tomorrow is better, though...

Kane: ....yeah....*myhandsarereallyinteresting*

Ed: -wantstoaskaboutherarm><-...-swallows- I'm not interrupting am I? You said you went straight from school to work, you probably haven't even eaten yet

Kane: ...*shakes head* youre not...

Ed: Uh..okay.

Kane: .....*kindasilent*

Ed: -same...moves the icepack and glances at his arm beneath the sleeve, quickly pulls it back up-

Kane: ...any better?

Ed: Yeah, it's fine...nothing too bad to begin with

Kane: ...good.

Ed: ...............-swallows- Your arm...how did...-><tablesmightyinterestin'-

Kane: .........................*blinks* -tableisjustasinterestingonthisend- ....I was in a bit of an accident a few years ago......

Ed: Oh...-notgonnapush- right, sorry..

Kane: ....yeah..........*silent, bends fingers a little* ..its fine.

Ed: It's well made...-patheticcomplimentright? butEdwouldknowXD-

Kane: .....I guess...I dont remember exactly...what the standard was at the time I got it...but...its lasted a number of years...so its been fairly sturdy...

Ed: Yeah, it seemed to handle a lot of pressure..

Kane: *smiles a bit* luckily enough...

Ed: Yeah, no kidding..-laughs a bit- Wish I'd thought to block with my right arm

Kane: ....*looks at his right hand before back at him* ..probably would have hurt as much as when you hit your wrist on the table earlier, huh?

Ed: Uh yeah. -sheepish grin- I meant what I said...didn't feel a thing

Kane: ...*lips slowly curl into a grin-smile* Now I get why...

Ed: Yeah, makes a bit more sense, huh? -chuckles-

Kane: ...you could say that. *small huff of a laugh*

Ed: -sighs a bit- I really should leave you to your business -frowns- it's sort of getting late.

Kane: ...*nods* so long as you're sure your arm is fine...

Ed: I'm sure, it's not broken or gone, anything less I can handle.

Kane: *small smile* right..*stands and sort of gestures for the ice pack* I can take that for you...

Ed: Yeah -hands it over- thanks...

Kane: sure....no problem....*puts the ice pack in the freezer*

Ed: -stands up and pushes his chair back in- So, uh, yeah...I hope the rest of your evening goes better -laughs a little-

Kane: *laughs a bit, too* It should. .....*quiet* ...thanks......for earlier....

Ed: Huh? Yeah, don't worry about, I just hope those assholes have some kind of 'unfortunate' accident

Kane: *half-sigh half-smirk* Same....*partially rolls eyes*

[Kane]

The next morning, walking to school...

---

Ed: -walkingwalkingwalking, nomming some toast-

Kane: ....*steps outisde of door and proceeds to lock it, checks it by jiggling the handle some, puts keys in bed and comes down the small walkway, mostly staring at the ground*

Ed: -still walking, walking, looking at the ground, finally glances up when his shoulder knocks into someone- Oh, sorr-...Uh, Kane? -wellwekeeprunningintooneanother-

Kane: -name- *jumps a little, was rather zoned out* *blinks*....Edward...? Oh'....morning...-notreallyseeingtheblackeyeyet-

Ed: Yeah...sorry, I, uh, wasn't really looking where I was going. -sort of sheepish smile- G'morning

Kane: ...cant really say I was either...*half-smile, notices the bruise* ....what did you do to your eye? -worriedtone-

Ed: -Eye?Ohblackeye- That? 'S nothing, I tripped -intosomebody'sfist-

Kane: ....-dontbelieveit- you tripped...

Ed: Yeah, just on my way home last night

Kane: ...you dont trip and give yourself a black eye that easily. if anything your forehead or cheekbone would be bruised....

Ed: Bad luck I guess

Kane: *gives a look that says "I really dont believe you", kind of shakes head and rolls eyes a bit before turning on heel, starts walking again* we wouldnt want to be late...

Ed: Especially not to math again -starts walking, looking over at her- ...Your arm?

Kane: ....*swallows and puts left hand on her arm* this is the spare.

Ed: So the other one was irreperable? -frowns-

Kane: I didnt get around to checking to see what I could do. I just didnt want to wear it today....god forbid it break off.

Ed: Oh...well, I hope it's not too bad off

Kane: ...it didnt look it.

Ed: Well, that's good

Kane: yeah....

Ed: ...-badatsmalltalk- How was your morning?

Kane: ....I guess it was..okay. yours?

Ed: -shrugs- Hellish..-small laugh- I've never liked getting up early

Kane: *half smile* neither do I...but..I wanted to go to college so Im going to have to get used to it...

Ed: Yeah, same here. I'm glad to have started, /even/ if I hate getting up early

Kane: *smiles a bit* me, too...-maybemyideaswillfinallybeappreciated><-

Ed: -smiles a little too- ...wonder if we'll run into Alfons before class

Kane: Maybe...he seemed like the type of person to be on time to class unless something holds him up.

Ed: Uhuh, the only reason he was sort of late yesterday was me

Kane: At least you werent the latest. *small laugh* Otherwise the professor wouldve been a jerk to you.

Ed: True, he was an asshole to you, really fuckin' uncalled for ->>-

Kane: *rolls eyes* I'll live....I just wont give him a reason to repeat himself again today...

Ed: Shouldn't anyway, but that doesn't excuse being a total ass for no reason

Kane: *sighs a bit and shrugs*

Ed: ...-silentagain,comeonewoman<< hecan'tmakesmalltalkright-

Kane: -wellneithercanshe!XD- ....he was actually probably just being an ass to try to make me respect any minute authority he has.

Ed: Freaking out over nothing is not the way to breed respect, it just makes you seem like an idiot. >>

Kane: Technically I was late...its not nothing...*small grin*

Ed: Yeah, it was nothing ->>- It's not like you murdered somebody, or anything, you were just a few minutes late

Kane: Some people are really anal-retentive, then, I guess.

Ed: Yep, and some people are stupid -shrugs- what're you gonna do about it?

Kane: *small grin* when I find out I'll be sure to let you know.

Ed: -startled a laugh from him- Thanks, Ill keep an ear out

Kane: *sort of laughs with*

Ed: -glances over and smiles at her-

Ed: Hey...-sort of pensive look- Your given name's Serafina, right? So why do you call yourself Kane?../If/ you don't mind answering

Kane: ....its just a name I gave myself...*glances at him slightly confused* -she's not thinking of that biblical reference at the moment. if she were more awake she'd get right to that XD-

Ed: But...why? I mean, it doesn't really come from 'Serafina' in any way.

Kane: ....*half-smile* If you want a name you can call me that does come from "Serafina", you can call me Sera...its what my uncle calls me.

Ed: -shrugs- It's not like I mind calling you Kane, I was just curious, my name's Edward never really called myself anything different, never really thought about it so I just wondered -shrugs a bit again-

Kane: ....-lightbulb- oh...you're referring to that biblical story, arent you?

Ed: ...a little -chuckles-

Kane: ...well...to be honest I was thinking of that when I gave myself the name. I....rather enjoy proving people wrong if they set themselves up for it.

Ed: That's a little...uh, evil -laughs- -heapprovesXD-

Kane: *gives an amused half-snort half-laugh thing* Thing is when most pepole hear "Kane" they automatically think of that story from the bible. Naming myself something that some people would call "cursed" is my way of telling whomever not to let their beliefs and what they already know get in the way. Just because we know something as one thing doesnt mean it always is just that.

Ed: Yeah that makes sense...sort of -laughs a bit again- it's an interesting notion, anyway

Kane: *smiles some* Its something I think about the world we live in....alot. Other people dont seem to grasp that thought so easily, though...

Ed: -worldIlivein><- No, it's not the most easily acceptable thing

Kane: *sighs, laughs a little, runs hand through her hair and stops at the back of her neck* If I keep talking like this I fear youre going to end up calling me crazy. -likeeveryoneinEngland><-

Ed: Call /you/ crazy? -laughs- You have no idea, trust me. -Icomefromadifferentplanet8Dnowwho'scrazy?-

Kane: ...yeah. I've gotten that alot.

Ed: Really? People around here must be really close-minded -small frown-

Kane: It was more in England when it started, so im trying to prevent it from carrying over to here.

Ed: Well...so far I don't think you're crazy -grins-

Kane: *smiles a bit* well thats good to know...

Ed: -grin fades, sighs a little- Yeah...-thinkingthatthetruth wouldmakeanyonethinkhe'scrazy-

Kane: ...*sighs a bit and puts hand in pocket*
