What a haul! I got a pair of gold earrings from Seraph, a bracelet too. Anicetus gave me some of the DVDs I had expressed interest in getting (three in total) and he gave me a gift certificate to one of those fancy lingerie stores. I would have felt funny about him getting me clothing from there (he's my brother!), so in this case the gift certificate is better. Mom got me some new shoes, a nice silk PJ set and a blouse. Daddy gave me things he heard me drop hints about. Mainly new kitchen appliances, nothing big like the dishwasher or stove though. He also got me an upgrade for my computer. I haven't gotten that yet because I have to take the computer in but now it'll run smoother and with more hard drive space, glee!

So the day after Christmas I decided to hit Barton Town. The trains were running a little funny, it was still considered a holiday since Christmas fell on a Sunday this year. There were more people out than I thought, all making returns or taking advantage of the day after Christmas sales that were popping up all over. I wasn't out to shop, I had but one thing in mind: Get Sera's Leon alone to grill him.

I found the Guild Hall building. It wasn't too hard though it looked more like an armory on the outside. It was open, for four hours only. I walked in and there he was, in the armor Seraph always talks about. I swear he mumbled something like "Oh no, not you" but I didn't care. I sauntered up the desk he was behind and leaned on it with a wide grin. No p***y-footing around the issue for me.
"So, you seeing Seraph?" I asked.
He looked up from the clipboard he had tried to hide behind. "No." He didn't even look at me, rather past me. I turned around to find no one there and just snorted.
"I can tell she likes you, a lot. She was practically floating yesterday when you were there. So was I, but for a different reason." I had to laugh, while I was buzzed I remembered the change in how Seraph acted while he was around.

I dragged a chair up the... stair things around the desk and sat down after that. Whoever designed the interior was an idiot, his desk barely had enough room on that ghetto pedestal it was on. Anyway, I was quiet for a while as he flipped through papers on the clipboard then unfurled a scroll to take notes on. After a while he sighed and put everything down to look at me.
"Can I help you?" Yeah, he didn't sound sincere about it at all. Annoyed was more like it, but I wasn't going to give up until I was sure I had my answer. No matter what that answer was.
"How about your phone number?" I bat my eyes playfully. If I could get it from him, it was going to make it's way into Seraph's hands.
Leon rolled his eyes then and pointed to the business cards sitting at the edge of the desk. The Guild Hall number, not home.
I shrugged, "Oh I have that."
"Then you don't need one." His voice was hinting at aggravation now.
"Look at me," I said as I changed my tone to a more commanding one. "You are going to give me a truthful answer and then I will leave. Do you like my sister at all?"
"Yes, but the way you're trying to find out about - no." That time he looked me in the eyes. They didn't say anything different from what his words did.

I decided to change my approach then and relaxed in the seat.
"Think about it. She'd be loyal, trustworthy and quite loving. You'd be the first person she ever dated. A special title, don't you think?"
Leon rubbed his eyes with a hand. "Leave, please. I get enough of this from the fan club. No one has come out and said it but I know it's there. There are too many girls trying to net me and I don't want to make any of them feel scorned."
I stood up then and took the chair back to where I got it from. "Pick one or risk losing them all. And if they like you as much as they say, they'll still be around if a relationship doesn't work out. I don't know how long Seraph will wait though." And then I left right as other people came in.

That was all yesterday, today I've just been chilling with the family, we went out for lunch to Barton Pub. I had a little something to drink but no one wanted me to get like I had been Christmas day. Party poopers. Oh well, there's always tonight, think I'll invite Sneeuw.

I think I'm going to head home tomorrow too, I miss being able to do what I want when I want. This having to get someone to let me in the house when I'm out late is annoying. It's always my parents since the room they're in is near the front door. Anicetus is in the living room in the back and Seraph's room is there too. Maybe I should go to the back door tonight so I don't get a lecture from the parental units again.
