"There is always someone smarter, my boy," Magrace chuckled. "That's something you fail to understand. And do you honestly expect me to be impressed by that? Making a child disappear isn't difficult."
Realizing that Magrace and Kyle were going to take a while, Dante rose from her chair and headed downstairs to get herself a cup of tea. She saw Scar standing in the kitchen and raised an eyebrow when she noticed how distraught he looked. "Something wrong?"
Reaching the door, Yoki grasped the knob and slowly opened it. He rushed into the room and hastily closed the door behind him. "Stupid dog," he grumbled, leaning against the door.

Not wanting to feel more insulted, Kyle stopped speaking to Magrace and went back to Martel and Dante's room. He rose an eyebrow when he saw Martel with her wailing son. However, it didn't hold his attention, and he took out his favorite book, The Prince and begun to read.
Nikolai finally began to fall asleep, though he was still whimpering as Martel placed him in the crib. His sister contined to drum out songs on the book, including the Pink song, Dear Mr. President and the song Working Class Hero

Scar turned to look at Dante. "...That was my boss..." he explained. "..There was a murder after I got off my shift...Their closing down. I was just fired..."

"Oh? That's a shame," Dante said as she walked to the counter and started preparing her tea. "But you shouldn't worry about it. Money isn't a problem, and I'm sure you'll find another job in no time."
Dahlia was fast asleep in the crib. For some miraculous reason, the noise Arden had been making didn't wake her from her slumber.
"Juliette! It's time to go," Magrace called from the hallway.
Juliette smiled and waved at Martel and Arden. "Bye-bye!" With that, she rushed out of the room to her father.

"Manikuku" Arden cried out. Juliette had just run off with her beloved stuffed hedgehog. She began to whimper slightly, wanting her toy back. The child was willing to share, but not willing to completely give up her possessions.

Magrace frowned, noticing that his daughter was holding a hedgehog plush. "And just what is that ugly little thing?"
Juliette blinked and looked down at Manic, realizing that she accidentally took the toy with her. "It's Manic!" she smiled. "But it belo-"
Before she could explain, Magrace yanked it from her hand and tossed it aside. "I don't give a damn what it is, you aren't keeping it," he growled. "Now let's go." With that, the occultist pulled his daughter down the stairs and out the front door.

Looking at Dahlia sleeping, Martel figured she would be okay to get Arden's bottle and retrieve the toy. Stepping outside, she saw Manic and picked him up off the floor. She then headed downstairs. Going into the kitchen, she noticed Scar and wondered what was wrong with him. She opened her mouth to say something, but decided against it, instead opting to make a bottle of formula for her daughter.

Scar nodded. "Your probably right..." The Ishballan sighed and returned to chopping. Dropping the beef into the stew, he stirred it for a moment before putting it on simmer. "This house is getting more and more people by the day.." he commented. God...he had to get out of here. Find SOME way to get his own house, or at least an apartment.

As Scar spoke, Martel couldn't help but think of the loft above the River Styx. But, she wouldn't say anything. Not now, at least. After finishing the bottle, Martel returned upstairs. She handed Manic to Arden, recieving a thankful smile in return. Placing Arden in her lap, Martel tried to feed the child. Thankfully, she seemed to accept the formula better than yesterday.

Dante was reminded of her quarrel with Yoki when Scar brought up the many new arrivals the house had been seeing. "Speaking of new arrivals, I had a little conflict with that Yoki fellow," she told him as she stirred her tea. "The uncivilized oaf assaulted me in the nude while I was holding Dahlia."

Scar nodded. "I stared him down when I came in." he replied. "Even the military wouldn't except him. When I saw him, he was living with people who were stuck in worse conditions than Ishballan refugee's, if it makes you feel any better." He'd put that little bastard in his place soon enough.

"The problem is that Lyra served under him when he was in the military," Dante explained as she walked to the table and took a seat. "Despite having explained to him who I am, he insists that I am Lyra and treats me like I'm his subordinate. If you would set matters straight before I kill him, I'd be grateful."

Scar nodded. "That does seem to be one of my tasks here." he commented. "Keeping our less than sane house mates in a straight line..." Already he'd thrown Mustang, Hughes and Greed out the window, ALMOST through Pride out the window, nearly shot Gluttony, DID shoot Archer and Kimblee...sheesh, he was the fucking policeman of the house...

Jean looked at her surprised.
"A boy? Really?"His grin spread from ear to ear.
"We should celebrate.Throw a party, at the club or just out back. Maybe just a small gathering..NO! I want everyone to know."He rambled on for a few more minutes before looking at Riza in the eyes.
"It's like a dream come true, ya know? You, a kid.Damn."He rested his forehead against hers, his eyes closed, still smiling as he pressed his lips against hers.
Denny had been sitting in the kitchen the whole time, drinking his coffee while listening to the conversation.
It wasn't eaves dropping if you were in plain view and people still conversed.
"Just build a shed out back and let him stay there.I'll even help."He offered.
He was also rather glad he'd never gotten on the wrong side of the Ishballan.

Riza kissed Havoc's lips with passion, placing her arms around his neck. After a few moments, she stopped and lay her head over his chest.
"As you wish my love..." She said holding him tighter listening at his quick heartbeating. "I'm glad you are happy" she smiled.

"Where'd Bandit go?" Martel asked Arden, who was the only one in the room who was still awake. She had seen the pup run past before, but afterwards, it seemed she had vanished. Maybe she was with Black Hayate in Riza's room. Martel picked up her daughter, who was holding Manic in one arm and the pens she had been using in the other. When she reached Riza's room, she knocked, not wanting to walk in on them unnanounced.

"I'll get the door" Riza said while giving Havoc a kiss. She stood up and went to open the door. She smiled when she saw Martel's face. "Hi Martel!" she said while opening the door to her friend.

"Hey, mind if I come in?" Martel asked, frowning slightly as Arden shifted in her arms. The small child held her stuffed toy tightly in one arm. Her pens were held tightly in her other hand.

"Of course, come in." Riza said smiling. "Nice toy Arden!" She said while rubbing the small girl's hair.

Arden instantly held the toy closer. When her mother placed her on the ground, she immediately began to entertain herself. Namely by drumming out a rendition of Hawaiian Roller Coaser Ride on a DVD cover.
"So...you seen Bandit anywhere?" Martel asked, glancing at her daughter. "I wanna find her before she steals someone's left shoe or something". She glanced around, trying to see if she could find her daughter's renegade dog. Not seeing the mutt, she sighed and said, "Sorry for bothering you" before going over and picking up her daughter. She went back into her and Dante's dorm, and decided just to wait for Bandit to return.
The small puppy barked in Yoki's direction, running over to him. She yelped in pain as she hit the door. Once she retained her composure, she stood, growling at the door. Yoki was getting a bite on the ass as soon as he came out.
