Rem was just as surprised as his girlfriend was, and equally startled at being rolled off of her, off of the bed, and onto the ground, hard. The girl's sudden appearance brought out his innate fighter's reflex, however, and he instinctively extended his consciousness to all of his extremities. However, the intruder, being female, he fought a hard mental battle to prevent his body from doing something it was trained to do, because he loathed having to hit girls. He lay there with a mixture of surprise and pain etching across his face and then leapt to his feet, aiming a well-practiced index finger at the intruder. "Objection! Answer her question damnit!"

Arim blinked as she watched Delilah and Rem have a near-conniption, her dark eyes blinked with confusion as they both seemed to yell almost simultaneously at her. The Korean girl’s expression remained blank for a moment before she waved her hand in front of her face, finally understanding. “Oh! You’re confused, let me explain”. With that, the girl trotted over to the other side of the room, towards a large pile of unruly papers, AKA, Delilah’s build of mail during her… absence. The girl wrapped her arms around them, picked them up (though they were so high, they blocked her vision), and brought them over to Delilah. Dumping the papers accidentally on Rem, started to sort through them, every time she found a piece of mail that she wasn’t looking for, she tossed it over her shoulder.
“This? No… This? No… You subscribe magazines…? Nevermind. No, no, no, no, nadda, no dice, no, no, no, no, nu-uh… AHA!”
Bending back up, the girl clutched onto a thin envelope with large red letters on the front printed, “NOTICE”. The girl pried the envelope open with her teeth, and pulled out a paper from inside and flipped it open for Delilah to read;
“Delilah A. Black,
As of April, you will be receiving a new room-mate as permanent resident of room #702. Please make the necessary preparations to receive her, and help her adjust, she’s never lived with anyone else before.
(And for GODSAKE don’t scare her).”
Arim flipped over the paper to look herself and nodded; “Yeah… they sent this… 3 months ago” the girl told her, reading the address before giving it to Delilah. “This is the first apartment and the first time I’ve ever lived in before, the first time in Public school as well. You’ll have to forgive me, I’m not really…. All there, for lack of a better term”. Reaching over, the blonde started to pick up the rest of the mail that she had brought and noticed a person underneath. She never even noticed him before, perhaps it was his height, just then her mouth opened to apologize until her eyes went wide, “Gah!! THERE’S A HOMELESS MIDGET IN YOUR HOUSE!!”. |

After listening to Arim's explanation, Rem calmed down a bit, folding his arms and nodding. Though he'd been living in/thrashing this apartment over the last four months he hadn't ever bothered to open Delilah's mail, not because he didn't care, but because it was just common decency to not open other people's mail. At her exclamation, Rem's eyes widened as he glanced back and forth, looking for said homeless midget. It took him only a few more seconds to connect the dots and he simply glowered at the Korean girl. "...funny."

Delilah read over the letter a few more times, making sure everything was correct. The post date made this notice perfectly legal, and the damn girl probably already had a key. She sighed, seeing that she had no choice in the matter. Delilah tossed the letter onto the floor and crossed her legs Indian style. . “Alright, you can stay…but you still haven’t given me a name. I’m Delilah Black, by the way, and the…” Delilah chuckled at Rem’s reaction. “’Homeless midget’ as you call him, is my boyfriend, Aoyama Rem, and because he’ll be living with you and I, he’s not homeless…though I won’t deny that he is on the more…diminutive side~” she teased, glancing over her shoulder at the young Japanese man with a wicked smile.”
Delilah looked around. The room wasn’t large; it would only fit Delilah’s bed, a dresser and the few guitars lining the walls. The guest room was no better, but her hardcore projects were still under construction in that room. Debating internally and in silence for a while, Delilah sighed again. “Alright. Your room is just across the hall from mine. Make yourself at home in it, but do not touch the machinery. I can’t stress that enough. Now then…” She swung her legs off the bed and stretched luxuriantly, her pale blue eyes turning to the new girl’s “What’s your name and what do you want to eat?”

As Delilah examined the paper, Arim's eyes flicked around the apartment, soaking in her surroundings and the... unruly demeanor, for lack of a better word. Arim sighed when she turned back to Delilah and blinked, "Oh sorry-- How rude of me... but... Delilah Whack!? What a funny name!" she girl gasped, what a funny name indeed! But then again, she knew that many people were known to have unusual names nonetheless. Ah well, that wasn't her choice anyways. Arim smiled pleasantly at her, "orry again, Arim Ure'der, pleased to meet you, Delilah Whack. And charmed, Aoyama Rem". As the words trailed off, she took a few steps into the room and waved, "Right... so he has no home, and hitching a ride with you? So... he's homeless, right~?". The girl stopped in frong of a rather large (and greasy) dismantled engine before turning back to Delilah. "Oh, to eat? I am kind of peckish!".
Once asked, the girl walked towards the table and sat down cross-legged onto the chair (not before removing her footwear first) and places her hands in her lap. Her hands brushed the tote-bag to the side and it hung off her shoulder besides the chair. "Weeell... I haven't really eaten anything quite decent in awhile.... sooooooo... chicken cordon bleu... and hot sauce... lots of it. If you can, of course" Arim nodded lightly before turning her attention to the short asian one. She blinked for a moment before laying her chin down on the table, "So Remmy, Lala" she started, her obviously absurd nicknames rolling off her tongue as if it was their names after all, casually glancing between the two. "I noticed when I walked in that you, Lala, had some rather unsightly scars on your neck. And more obviously Remmy has quite the collection of scars. My analysis may sound odd and presumptuous, but they don't look regular, nor natural. If you'd allow me to heckle you once again, I believe they are wounds from sparring, forcefully and violently induced, would this be correct?". Despite how silly she seemed with her nicknames and overall odd disposition, she seemed to have quite the vocabulary behind her, though she always kept it to an understandable minimum at best. Arim couldn't help it, she ALWAYS talked like this. |

Rem sighed, the girl's words suddenly making him remember something he'd delayed telling Delilah. "Yes, from fighting/sparring and the like... Excuses us for a sec." The diminutive youth took his girlfriend by the wrist and pulled her out of the new girl's earshot. "Ok, forgive the suddenness of this declaration... but... well... y'see..." His hesitation was brought on by the reason he'd dreaded telling her in the first place. "...Since you've been gone... I kinda...sorta joined a gang..."

Delilah nodded at Arim and dialed the number she needed for the french cuisine place she knew, La Boheme in Carmel. "Hi, I'd like to place an order? An order of chicken Cordon Bleu, french fries, extra spicy buffalo wings and two four litre bottles of Cola. Yes, on debt and delivered to the Kalidescope apartment building, number 702. Thank you," Hanging, up, Delilah addressed her new roomate. The scars. "Yeah, you could assume that." she said with a slight smile. "Mostly fights..." mostly "And it's NOT Delilah Whack, its BLACK!" She folded her arms over her chest, a faint colour in her cheeks. She'd never heard THAT variation before.
As Rem pulled her aside, she looked at him ponderously. "What's up?" His declaration trhew her off, and she raised both eyebrows. She chuckled for a moment. "A gang, huh?" then hit him in the arm. "REM! A GANG?!" She cried, obviously outraged. "FOR FUCKS SAKE, YOU'RE ALL BETTER AND NOW YOU'RE PUTTING YOURSELF THROUGH MORE HELL?!" Stepping back and taking a few deep breaths, Delilah folded her arms over her chest and glowered down at her boyfriend. "You have ten seconds to explain, and make it good. TEN..."

Rem flinched slightly when she hit his arm and took a step backwards. As expected, she didn't take the news well. "Baby sister is infatuated with gang leader, couldn't be talked out of joining, so I tagged along to make sure she remains safe." Concise, but true, taking much less than the ten seconds that she'd given him.

”9….8….7…6…” She let out a long breath and rubbed the bridge of her nose. ”Reeemmm…” This was insane! Joining a gang as soon as he gets better from his bout with that man, for someone else’s cause no less. She poked his forehead, leaving her index finger there. ”First off, I think it’s sweet you’re doing this for your sister’s sake, but this isn’t something you believe in…is it?” she shook her head and continued, moving her finger from his forehead and ruffling his spiky hair. ”Anyway, if it’s not something you take value in…if you’re going to protect your sister, great, but I just…wish you’d do it on the side. If your sister made the choice to be involved with a gang, you shouldn’t be responsible for that choice.” She smiled gently, running her hand down the side of his face and cupping his cheek. ”Your sister is another story. I don’t have a sibling, so I can’t totally understand, but baby sister or no, she needs to learn this stuff on her own. You can’t always be there to protect her. I’m not trying to deter you; I’m just giving you my opinion.” She dropped her hand, and her smile lost a little bit of cheer. ”I won’t try and stop you…just…be careful, alright?”

Rem's innards clamped tight with a tremendous feeling of guilt. He didn't want her to have to worry about him to this extent... but, his parents had entrusted him with Kari. When he'd lost contact with her during their time in Japan's foster care system, he'd been bogged down by feelings of failure and uselessness. Now that he'd found her again, even if he'd defeated her and had absolved himself from the need to join the gang... as her big brother, he couldn't forgive himself if anything happened to her when he could have prevented it. He took her hand in his and squeezed it gently. "I'll be careful, baby... I'm not as stupid as I was back when I chased that guy..."
