.he started it. [luc & ken]

[Kitty Warshaw]

She'd promised Kenny she'd eat with him today since she usually sat in the corner reading as she ate, solitary and undisturbed. Personally she going against everything she believed in as she entered the dining hall. First of all though she liked to be in the spot light lunch was her down time when not in her dorm room. Second she thought Kenny and his brothers were a bunch of dorks and dweebs, not that there was anything wrong with it. Well they were cool dorks and dweebs, needless to say she owed him for the sapphire he'd given to her as a shut up gift for not telling Denny something. She'd done the job for the lady and now the stone was on a gold silver necklace.

Looking around she saw the offering table for Nyx and a whole horde of kids. She rolled her eyes a girl she was currently beefing with and continued to search for Kenny and his friends. Laying eyes on him she moved towards his table and stood with hands on her hips as smiled at him. "Are you happy?" she asked pretending to be unhappy, though she really was. Sitting in the empty seat next to him she inspected the group of boys that surrounded her.

"You're trying to kill me," she told him. Kitten and a group of boys never worked out. She'd either flirt with them all and get them mad at each other or pit them all against each other in some sort of challenge. It was worse that they were Kenny's, out of all people, friends.

"I'm going to look for Luc," she said to Kenny with a wink. "Dont kill anyone or anything while I'm gone alright boys?" She laughed as chants of yeah and yes ma'am rang out from them. Moving back through the crowd she spied her protector entered the dining hall. Giving a small hiss as she was pushed Kitten shoved past more people to get to him. Why the hell was the hall so crowded today?

[Kenny Hao]

Kenny finally won, not that it was a challenge, to get Kitten to sit with him at lunch. She was always in her little corner with a book; it had been about time she try something different. He knew she liked her down time... and it wasn't like he would be asking this of her everyday... he just wanted some time with a friend rather than searching for free time during the days.

He had been in some sort of odd conversation with his table; something about the Spanish teacher being... whatever words they were saying in Spanish. He wasn't really interested in the conversation. "Of course." he answered as Kitten sat at the table. "Killed? Me? Never." he gave her a friendly wink and chuckle.

"Alright, don't be gone long. You're missing the oh so fun conversation about Professor Sanchez." he shook his head as she left the table. "Not that I can understand it... I speak French."

"We need a new topic." he muttered to the other guys around him. They all started chatting about Logan and himself. A small glare toward the group told them to shut up. He liked Logan, a lot. But didn't need his group here to tell him about how cute she is or whether or not it's right of him to date her. What they thought really didn't matter to him. Which brought up, why is it so looked down on? "Kitten hurry up. At least you know how to have a good conversation." he thought, almost laughing.

[Lucien Argeneau]

Luc sighed as he entered the dining hall. It had been a long day so far and he was already exhausted and his eyes hurt for some reason, maybe it was because he didn’t get enough sleep today. As he was herded with the rest of the crowd in the dining hall, like a bunch of sheep, he couldn’t help but wonder why it was so crowded today. Sure a lot of times it was crowded but it seemed extra crowded today. Did they have an influx of new fledglings that were just marked recently or what. Then he spotted the golden yellow locks of Kitty, his protectee making her way through the crowd. He wondered what she was doing.

He pushed his way through the crowds to her. “Hey Kitty” he said. “Fancy running into you here” he said with a smile. “You decide to be social for lunch today huh?” he said. “Or were you deciding to sit with a friend today?” he asked. Usually Luc sat with some of the other werecat fledglings since most of them knew each other from when they stayed at Zain’s house before coming to the House Of Night.

But since he had run into Kitty today in the dining hall he decided he’d join her. “Wanna find a table and then get food or what?” he asked. “That is if you don’t have any other plans” he said quickly.

[Kitty Warshaw]

"Hey Kitty. Fancy running into you here" Kitten smiled up at Luc as she thought of Kenny alone at the table with the talk of Professorial Sanchez in the air. Poor boy, he probably can't even understand what they were saying since it was in Spanish. Now if it were French she was sure he'd be in on the conversation too and it wouldn't be pretty if she returned in the middle of an awkward boy innuendo. She twirled her new necklace between her fingers as she shook her head slowly at the thought of her best friend talking dirty about a teacher.

"You decide to be social for lunch today huh?" giggling she nodded. She was going to have to be more social so people didn't think her odd. "Or were you deciding to sit with a friend today?" she noted that if her memory was correct he usually sat with the other werecat fledgling's that attended CHON. She knew they all knew each other because of their connection to Holly and Zain Carvator.

"Wanna find a table and then get food or what?" blush filled her cheeks as he suggested this and her began to race but just as soon as the happy high started it ended. "That is if you don’t have any other plans" he finished quickly.

"I'm actually having lunch with Kenny, and I was wondering if you'd join us..." she trailed off biting her lip. "You know there's only so much of that boy and his friends I can take." she laughed thinking of their conversation and wondered where it was now. "You could be my back up. Robin to my Batman." she chuckled a her own nerd humor and took his hand pulling him back towards the group of boys she called her friends.

Just as she turned to look over her shoulder at him something wet and thick hit the front of her shirt. Automatically crying out she let his hand go to survey the damage to her brand new shirt. She locked eyes with a dark haired boy that sat at her table and growled. The boy the pudding was originally aimed at raise his head from the shielding of his arms and looked at her. Without thinking she picked up a bowl of chowder from an astonished red vampyre fledgling and chucked its contents at him only it missed and landed down the front of her best friend's shirt. "Food fight!" the battle cry tore out through the room and she backed into Luc trying to shield herself with his body.
