Ryn nodded "you can stay with me. It wouldn't be right if I left a comrade on the streets" she said softly. She noted the girl seemed to be well trained. She didn't think the guild would actually train her to be a maid, than again it saved her alot of time explaining. She also noted the girl didn't seem to like talking too much, she would have to get used to it. Just like Ryn had. When Ryn first started this job she alwasy looked forward to the days when the guild would send her missions, but right now she was actually dreading the thought. The way she saw it, the best way for the guild to get rid of her, without her knowing they were trying to kill her, would be for them to send her on an impossible mission. She thought about it, technically the guild could already know everything and were just waiting to make there move. That made her nervous. Ryn kept that from showing on her face. "You seem well trained, just watch you're back." she said and left the room, looking to see if any new customers had shown up. |

Cherise nodded and took the plate out to the customer. "I'm sorry for the delay." she told him as she laid down the coffee and cake. She had chosen a chocolate cake with butter cream icing and dark chocolate shavings on top of it. She personally thought it looked lovely and hoped he would approve. "Anything else I can get for you, master?" she asked. |

Chaos thought about what he should do, if that man is coming here then the guild, and the government will be the least of their worries. Chaos thought that he really might need to kidnap,Ryn. If his old trainer is coming, well he is the one that trained himself, so this would not go well. Specially after I burned down his house...I don't think he is coming to thank me... Chaos thought he would call Ryn, but then realized he does not even have her number, shoot chaos did not even know if she owned a phone in the first place. Maybe she still be at the cafe he thought, but how will he tell her with that other maid there? As he thought about using the tranquilizer, but thought that might be a little much since he really does not know if she is here to kill him or her. I could always run away, after all my trainer does not know that I ...well I don't even know if she knows I like her that much. So he really is just coming for me, so I guess my only option is to leave this town, and Ryn before she ends up in this mess also. But I would had liked to hear her voice one last time. As chaos took a deep breath after he thought all that, and decide it was for her best interest that he left, he was causing her trouble with the guild anyways, and might have brought the government into it also. Chaos got up, and was heading to his car. |

Chiru took the cake with glee. It looked delicious. "Thank you very much, darling!" he winked, delicately taking the fork. With a flourish, he spun the fork in his hand before sinking it into the cake. With his free hand, Chiru held a finger towards the maid, indicating she should wait. The fork went into his mouth and his face lit up. "My word, absolutely delicious!" Chiru took one of her hands and clasped it between both of his. "Thank you, very much my dear." |

Ryn looked around the cafe... not many people were here... maybe she could slip away without being noticed. Not likely. She could just close the cafe earlier. She thought maybe instead of leaving work she could ask the Guild to find Chaos but if she did they might learn about his government ties and then order her to kill him... Than again... No, she couldn't do that. No matter how she looked at it she couldn't ask the guild to help her find Chaos. She was on her own. Now the question was, how she could slip away from the Cafe. She couldn't leave Cherise alone at the cafe. Could she? No, not when she had only been here one day. She noted the time and thought maybe she could just close the Cafe early. Looks like she had no other choice. Ryn found a piece of paper and a pen while she sent a text to the guild. She walked toward Cherise. "Cherise, I have to go for a little while, the cafe will be closing soon so don't worry about getting any more customers. If you need any help just call me" she wrote down her number and handed it to Cherise. Before the girl could protest she was already at the door. "Good luck" she said just before the glass door shut behind her. She was being paranoid again... than again, she could be as paranoid as she wanted to be, having the government and the guild watching her gave her all the more reason to be. Ryn didn't know where she was going exactly, its not like she knew where he lived or anything. maybe she was betting her life on lady Luck finally cutting her some slack. |

Cherise was a little surprised that he would want her to wait but she stood there, holding the tray in the curl of her delicate fingers. "Well I'm glad you like-" she began to reply when he grabbed one of her hands. Her first instinct was to reach for the knife which was hidden beneath the fold of her dress but that was silly. She stopped herself and looked at him, her eyes bright with surprise. "You're welcome." She looked away shyly. She was never a girl for dating or fawning over boys but he was very good-looking and oddly charming. As a strong woman this frightened her. "Well I have to get to the other guests..." As soon as she had turned around Ryn was there. The girl told her she would have to take charge of the cafe for now. What could be so pressing that she would leave her there alone? Perhaps it was a job. Before Cherise could ask to find out Ryn was gone. She looked at the piece of paper in her hand and realized her dress did not come equipped with pockets. She grimaced and reluctantly tucked the number into the front of her dress before going to tend to the other customers. She went to the tables of the two other men. "Hello, I'm Cherise. What can I get for you?" Edited by Iris, August 10, 2010, 3:12 am.

Chaos was in his car, and already out of the town. He then got a call from a buddy that said his trainer would be there in a day, and which direction he was coming from. Chaos realized he was heading to his trainer, not a way. So he turned around, and went back, planing on going threw the town and leaving the other direction. As he enter the town, he saw Ryn on the sidewalk, as he thought what was she doing out of the cafe, and so early, in fact this was no where near her house, where was she going? But he also thought this was a good time to hear her voice one last time, but he had to make sure she did not find out he was leaving, or she would just make it harder for him. Chaos stop a little head of her, and got out. He walked over to her and said "where you going? and why are you not with your new maid? She might be getting suspicious. " As he was looking around cause if someone from the government or guild saw them like this, they might figure the rest out. So he said then "You should head home, or go back to the cafe.... I talk with you tomorrow? He said with a normal face, but not a smile like something was wrong. Edited by Chaos Storm, August 10, 2010, 3:18 am.

Ryn was actually surprised to see he had found her. She was about to start yelling at him, something along the lines of 'what am I doing out here? I came looking for you, ya dumb ass' than again she didn't know if she should actually say that. She sighed "I came looking for you. You just kinda stormed off so I thought maybe something was wrong... " She shrugged "You look pretty fine so maybe I was mistaken?" Ryn looked up at Chaos. "Cherise is the least of my worries right now, right now i couldn't care what she thought about me. Whether she was suspicious or not" She tried to smile, realized she couldn't quiet get it and gave up. "She probably thinks I'm on a mission, I even took the trouble of telling the guild I saw someone suspicious and went to investigate" Now that she thought about it, it was kinda true. She was chasing a guy that used to work for the government. Ryn almost couldn't believe the words she was speaking were actually her own. Unfortunately it was true, her worry for Chaos outweighed her worry of the guild finding her. Dammit I'm really loosing my touch she thought, besides Chaos looked fine so what was she worrying about? She couldn't really place it but something seemed off... Something about Chaos wasn't right. Was he lying to her? Ryn glared at him "As someone who tells so many lies, it's a bit hard to deceive me. What the hell is Going on with you Chaos, I can tell there's something you're not telling me" This was not really any of her business... She really shouldn't be here asking him all this, he didn't actually have to tell her anything. Still, she saw the need to ask him. |

Cherise finished serving the other customers and found everything was going quite well actually. She was sort of on her toes in this new environment but being a maid in a cafe was a lot tamer than anything else she had done in the past couple years. It was weird for her calling the guests 'Sir' and 'Master' she definitely hadn't grown up in a working class environment. And yet here she was. She walked back over to the table where the interesting long-haired man was sitting. "Would you like another coffee?" she asked softly, her black hair had a couple loose strands but she otherwise looked entirely calm. |

After he heard that chaos said without meaning to say it out loud "Ryn is a little to smart for her own good, but I guess I like that about her" . He looked at her for a minute...or two. Then he said "You are better off with me gone anyways, so it be best if you leave me, so I can leave town, and escape before my trainer learns of you, and you get dragged into him coming after me. " Chaos was thinking she never really was much of a emotion person, after all she did kill people. So maybe a plan out statement like that she would understand, and leave. After all if he did leave, they would not have to worry about the guild or government learning of him know her secret. So it would solved that problem also. Chaos turned around and said "sorry" and walked back to his car where he started to start it up while thinking he should had kisses her one last time before he got in the car, but it was too late now, he was fixing to leave for good. |

(( OOC: I'm sorry if I'm a bit slow, I explained why over in the OOC thread. )) The cake was devoured to the last bite and the coffee was entirely gone. Chiru seemed to be enjoying himself very thoroughly with the food, and was currently in the middle of sending a message to an acquaintance of his on a stylish and sleek mobile phone. It looked terribly expensive. The maid had come back. "Certainly, dear, I would love another of your wonderful coffees." Chiru beamed up at her. "May I bother you for your name, dear? An absolute rose, you are." he asked, trailing off near the end. Chiru ran a hand through his hair and flicked it. |

Cherise noted that he seemed to have a very expensive phone, everything about him seemed lavish. One could easily tell a person's wealth if they only knew what signs to look at. She picked up the used cup and plate, placing them back on the tray as he spoke. So he wanted to know her name... that's right, she hadn't actually said it to him. As he went on about her being a rose she marveled at how exquisite his hair was. Few men had such hair. He trailed off and she remembered she had a question to answer. "Cherise." she replied. "...I'll be right back with that coffee." She walked into the kitchen and came back with a fresh cup. She placed it down delicately in front of him. She waited. The other customers were gone so she might as well stay and see what else he wanted. |

Chiru took the coffee with a nod and a smile. He sipped it, savoured it, drank it with an expression of utmost glee. Here was a man who could be happy with the world, and didn't mind showing it. "Cherise." he said aloud, looking into his coffee. "Cherise, Cherise. It's a pretty little name, isn't it? Cherise, like cherries. Like the cherry on top of a wonderfully frosted cake." Chiru mused. He took his phone and typed something into it with speed and precision. "I'm new to town, you see. I heard of this wonderful little cafe from a friend, darling, and I just had to come see." he explained, pocketing his phone once again. "Have you worked here long? You should be a star if you worked anywhere else." Chiru kept muttering 'an absolute rose' under his breath every now and then. It seemed he was thinking the phrase over. |

"Cherise, yes it is like 'cherries'." she murmured in agreement. That might be part of her love for the color red. He was very entertaining to listen to. He was charming but his mannerisms hinted that perhaps he wasn't the straightest man in the world. But then, while she was here to judge and look out for trouble, she wasn't here to judge sexuality. He was a fascination either way. "I just started today." she told him. "I'm new in town and the owner is a friend of the family." She glanced out the window and wondered if this was a lie. No, not fully. Not if you considered the guild a family. For most of her comrades the guild was the closest thing they had to family. The thought gave her eyes a glaze of melancholy. But she returned her attention to the customer. |

He was staring at her, and finally he spoke. his response didn't make her any happier. She felt a mix of anger and sadness, msotly anger, maybe she was just using her anger to drown out her sadness? She didn't care. her anger was coming back. "What the hell are you even talking about Chaos!? I don't understand!" she was trying not to shout, she didn't want to be the crazy girl yelling at her boyfriend as he drove away. not like Chaos was her boyfriend or anything. She didn't even know what they were exactly. She didn't know what he was talking about, why the hell was he deciding to leave now... "Chaos I'd be better off if you stayed here with me" she said suddenly, a bit more calmly this time. She was very happy that at least not too many people were on the streets. "I... I don't want you to leave" She couldn't believe the words she was speaking were her own. If she was the same person she had been A few years ago she would have never said anything like that. Not even thought about saying something like that. Ryn didn't know what she could do, she didn't know if she could stop him before he drove away. She couldn't let him leave yet, not until she at least got the chance to smack some sense into him. She realized maybe she was just, dunno overreacting? yeah definitely. Ryn tried to calm herself down but, she still didn't want Chaos to leave. She got reminded of yesterday, he tried to leave then too. That time she stopped him than again, this time he was in a car she couldn't really do anything about it right now. [[ OOC // Sorry for the crappy post everyone ]] |

Chaos heard Ryn say something, but he really could not hear her now that the car was started, but he kind of knew what she said even if he did not hear her. As he thought to him self sign a lot, he did not really see a good reason to stay since it would put her in harm. Then again, he started to think he could...but he did not even have the courage to think of the rest of that out. Then he started to think about laws, and such and how his friends always told him he made them work for him, not others. He kind of lunch after thinking that, as he stooped the car and got out. He walked over to Ryn. He looked at her for a second, then looked down at his feet. He put his hand to his chest, and said " He would die if he left anyways, and that if I stay, that does not really mean your death, if there is hope left with me staying, I will take it, at the very least I will know I gave my all to protect the one I love. " He got down on one knee. " I would not be called a law user, if I could not use your so call guild, and my governments laws against them. Merry me, and silence those who would not trust my feelings for you. " He started to think about what he said, and waited for a anwser. He could not really believe that he said all that, he was just plan on telling her he was going to stay....when he got out of the car....as he thought, that plan would work, but he never planned it. He started to wonder, if his feelings for her gave him those words. Words from the heart, he knew it had to work, it had to be perfect...but then he stopped...but..but what..what if she does not feel the same? It would save her, but I don't want her to merry me just for life, if it means a life with a choice she did not want. He thought. Only her actions, and words would answer his questions. |

"Oh, new in town? So am I!" Chiru grinned, taking a sip from his mug. With a pleasured sigh, he finished off the rest of the coffee and placed the mug down. "I'm a bit of a wanderer. Going from town to town, just looking for something nice to pique my interest. I've never been to a maid cafe before, and I can tell you that you've made a wonderful first impression." Chiru explained. It seemed he liked the sound of his own voice a little too much, because he continued. "I've got a lovely bike outside. It's Italian. My mother was Italian, but I can't speak a word of the language." he shrugged. "Oh, listen to me ramble." Chiru chuckled. "Don't mind me. You're a very interesting woman! You have a... a shine in your eyes. Like you've got something else jangling around in that pretty head of yours, darling." |

Ryn stared blankly at him, "What... First you tell me you're going to leave and now... " She was at a complete loss for what she should say. She really liked Chaos, more than normal but she didn't know if she liked him that much. "Chaos, I don't think... I don't know... " the fact her brain had chosen that moment to completely die on her didn't help her attempts to think of a proper response. She swallowed. "I... Chaos we don't even know each other... I mean we know the basic's but... " she didn't know if what she was saying made sense, she was just trying to say something. Anything really. Ryn took a breath, trying to sort out her thoughts and maybe calm herself down. "I don't know, I just... Don't know." At the moment that was the best response she could think of. It was all she could really think to say even if it wasn't much of an answer. |

Chaos replied, after he got up and looked at her directly. " Say yes. If it turns out you hate my guts, that is what the word 'divorce' is for. Saying yes, by any means can't be a mistake. If it were a mistake, then I will do my best to fix it for you ". After he thought about it...he realized what she might be having a lot of trouble with saying yes or no, or so he thought. He said " Well.. I mean, we can get merry, and I move to your house...but we..I mean, don't have to sleep in the same room if that is what your worried about.." As he got his phone out, and started to call someone while he waited for her next reply to his words. As he was thinking while he waited for her to take a minute to think about it, he would call and arranged some plans as he now take everything he had and put it towards taking out the government and the guild. He would live a happy life with Ryn, one way or another. |

Cherise was surprised that Chiru could tell there were other things going on in her mind. Maybe it was just an odd form of flattery or maybe he was really that good at reading people. "I suppose I'll take that as quite the compliment." She replied. She looked over at the clock and wondered what had happened to Ryn. It was getting late, and she hoped her employer knew what she was doing. "So you're Italian... I think I'm Norwegian myself, it's hard to remember..." She trailed off, was she actually entering into chit-chat. What a rare thing it was. "Oh excuse me, rambling like this." she whispered. "Would you like anything else, Sir?" |

Chiru looked about, between his empty mug, the clock and the setting sun outside. "Hm, it's starting to get late. I've been here for so long, the time seems to have just flown by!" he shrugged. Stepping to his feet, Chiru flicked his hair one more time and beamed at the maid. "It was a pleasure making your acquaintance, dear. You're an absolute rose, Cherise, an absolute rose." he was holding on to one of her hands delicately, as though ready to kiss it. |

"Well thank you Sir." she replied with a shy smile. "Do come back again." She knew she was supposed to be looking out for more threatening figures but this man was so interesting she would like for him to return. Cherise watched him as he held her hand up. She rarely had this much contact with people but she'd have to get accustomed to it, it seemed. |

(( Ah, sorry for not replying sooner. It had completely slipped my mind today, I was far too busy today. )) With a small bow, almost a curtsy, Chiru laid his soft lips on the back of her hand for a moment before releasing her and moving to leave. "I will be sure to return, as long as you promise to come away with me sometime. Nowhere far, I promise." he winked. She was a cute girl, and Chiru was a sucker for cute girls, especially the quieter ones like Cherise. "For now, I think I'll go. Perhaps you're not busy tonight?" he asked. |

She smiled slightly and cordially when he kissed her hand. She listened to him, not sure what he meant by 'coming away with him'. Her mind faltered for a moment when he asked whether she was busy that night. "Oh, well, I'm just moving into my apartment tonight." she replied. |

"Moving in?" Chiru smiled. "I suppose you wouldn't mind a little assistance now, dear?" he hinted. He let go of her hand, almost reluctantly. "I'll come around and help you unpack!" Chiru insisted, taking both her hands this time. He almost looked like an eager, over-excited puppy. |
