There are many people that a gang could set upon on a night, and even get away the victors. But even with the advantage of numbers, attacking the four tipsy people who'd been weaving down the street has turned out to be very much the wrong decision. Because the four tipsy people are in fact military trained. That they're tipsy barely impedes their reactions. It doesn't take them long to have it over with, breathing a little rushed, faces flushed with adrenaline and grins.
"Alain text me, figures we should go find out if Teo's still alive, he hasn't been responding to our texts." She doesn't seem overly concerned.
"-wait, when did I get added to those plans? I like Teo. I don't want him to be irritated by me!" (This is reaction is obviously more for hilarity of anything else.)
Bad choice of words.
"I mean, there might be things to do about my stay that should get out of the way first. And I have no plans. I would love to meet and irritate Theo."
That reassures them all some. "The details of your stay are 'the room is yours as long as you want it', and the only other question is your education, but that can wait for now."
'Chelle gives Percy a 'told you so' look. "Cool. I'll let Alain know? Unless you have some objection, Dad?"
'Chelle grins, and turns her attention to her own breakfast.
All three of them seem to enjoy it.
Once they're finished, 'Chelle excuses herself to let Alain know they're going to Teo's, and also to shower.
"Need a hand with the dishes, or can I go do that as well, Dad?" Lan includes Percy in that question as well.
"That seems like a good division of labour. I think me and Percy have the dishes sorted between us."
He gets up and starts the tap filling the sink.
"We can talk about your education now if you want," Aaren says without looking over at Percy. "But it's entirely up to you."
"Mostly whether you're in school somewhere, if not, would you like to go back, and if so, where are you gradeswise?"
"Huh, I should definitely change high schools. My grades are passible? I don't really do anything outside of class, but I can pay attention in class now that the teachers figured out I should be separated from bad influences. My attendance is spotty."
"We can get you transferred to the one 'Chelle's at if you'd like? And arrange for external tutoring if you think it'd be helpful?"
"You'd be better off asking her, but they seem to be relatively good sorts. Teo and Alain are in her year, and you'll meet them later."
