Ching Tai, Saturday Evening

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Kaoru, Hikaru, and Matilda walked into Ching Tai for dinner that night so not a date and were promptly seated at one of the tables. Even though this was clearly only a dinner between friends, the twins were not about to let her leave having to pay for any of it.

((ooc: Ching Tai open for all your....chinese food needs :D))

Matilda sat in the booth opposite of the two twins and smiled, feeling somehow shy. "Thanks for taking me."

They leaned on the table somehow very much reminded of a hostclub situation... and browsed a menu. "No problem. It's our pleasure." Kaoru could't help but act a little hosty in this sort of situation, it was practically second nature.

She sorta blushes and takes up a menu too. "What looks good to you guys..?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Hnn..." Hikaru feigned looking over the menu, glancing over at Kaoru and trying to get his attention. "General Tso's Chicken looks good... spicy is usually good." Kaoru wasn't paying attention to him though.

Matilda, for once is paying more attention to Kaoru than the twins collectively and thus doesn't see Hikaru's look changing. "Oh course you'd like spicy. I'll probably just have some Beef with Brocoli."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Hikaru gives up and looks down at the menu. "I think I'm going to have sweet and sour chicken." Kaoru gave him a side glance at this because this thread seems to mostly consist of subtle looks which speak volumes and they exchange glances as if discussing something and then look back at he menu.

"That's funny. I sort of assumed you'd eat the same thing."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"I feel like trying something different today." Hikaru shrugged and they handwavily ordered. "Do anything this morning, Matilda?" Kaoru didn't want there to be any awkward moments, they had been 'trained' how to avoid such things.

"Nah. I only studied. I went to see Lana at the bookstore yesterday though... Then I read in the park."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"What's your favorite type of books? I heard in class the other day that you liked Dickens, right?" Hikaru folded his arms and leaned on the table.

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. I love Dickens... and Herman Melville too. Those were my favorites ever since I was 6 years old."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Kaoru raised his eyebrows, "You could read those when you were that young?"

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. My mom wanted me to go to college a few years ago. I'm qualified to go to most universities but it's already hard being so much younger. I decided to stay in high school for awhile."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"So why do you need to study? Isn't it easy here? I heard that American Universities are difficult so, this should almost be boreing." Hikaru sipped his water.

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"I like learning. I study for fun. I'd get really bored in classes if I didn't have something challenging to do."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"So what are you studying right now?" Kaoru asked as Hikaru started stacking soy sauce.

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"I'm trying to learn how to do some more complex sine functions in my head. And I'm usually reading about experimental theories in physics and atomic study. They're always talking about some new idea for how an atom works and what's part of it." He's a little embarassed after she tells him.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

They smirked a little at the cute little dork. "Heh. That's admirable actually. Most people don't the patience or the will to learn on their own." Kaoru chuckled a little at her expression.

"Well I feel like it's something I was born with. The rest of family only watched TV. Sometimes they'd yell at me for not watching TV with them. I really don't like the TV very much." She sort of rammbles a bit.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"We noticed." The grin, breaking the chopsticks at the same time.

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

Matilda laughed. "I guess that TV must be a "commoner thing" for you... I came from a really plain family, can't get more "common" than them. Other than the illegal car sales and telekinesis. But I have plenty of money in my new family. I live in a big house. SO I guess I'm not TOO much of a "commoner"."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

They laughed a little at the "commoner" comment. "You can never say you're common."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

Matilda looks a little surprised but she certainly blushes as well. "Quit it..." She'd never heard about the "Host Club" so this was all a bit of strange flattery.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

It was hard to pull out of host-mode. "No really. We appreciate your uniqueness." Kaoru placed a hand on his chin.

John walked through the door and was seated in a booth near the back. After a detention like today? Wonton soup and Pepper Steak.

He unfolded some schematics and made some notes while eating his soup.
