Alex smiled warmly in response to the siblings' antics. This was the type of environment he love, and one of the other reasons he stayed in the academy. Briefly feeling as though something landed on his head, Alex reached up to see what was there. To his surprise, he felt nothing.
"Huh, musta been the wind." He muttered to himself. Suddenly, a creeping feeling went up his spine. It was a feeling he was all to familiar with after the incident the previous year. Turning back to the girls with a smile, he rushed along the conversation.
"Are you girls free now? If you're not on your way to class, perhaps you'd join me for some coffee. I know a great cafe that's on campus. It's not too far."

Rikka smiled at Alice and tickled Kiki a bit more before settling comfortably into the grass. "Kitsunes have two forms. We transform into foxes. With Kiki its a bit unstable since she is still young. I can transform at will since I have had lots of practice. Though as you have just witness when several startled or when I'm pretty emotional I can look control of it." Suddenly there was a weight on her head. Her left ear was then poked several times as it twitched. Soon enough something brushed against her right ear which cause it to twitch. The being on her head shifted and sniffed her ear before sneezing. Blinking her ears laid back blending perfectly into her hair. Curious as to what was on her head she reached up and gently touched something soft and furry. Picking it up very carefully with both hands she brought it down and found nothing in her hands, but there was a weight there.
Kiki on the other hand seemed to be able to see something for she ended up gently rubbing its head. Her ears perked forward as she decided she must be over thinking this. Kiki could see it, maybe it liked children. Closing her eyes she thought about when she played with Kiki and ended up just acting like a kid again. Opening them again she saw the mint green flying bunny! Childlike curiosity gripped her as she held him with one hand now and gently rubbed his ear. He was so cute! Looking up as Alice she wondered if she could see him. She must cause he was probably hers. With a twinkle in her eye she giggled. Looking up at Alex as his body language changed ever so slightly her childishness disappeared to be replaced with an adult like protectiveness and mint bunny was no longer see-able to her. Sighing in her mind she handed the now invisible Mint bunny to Kiki and lifted the little girl onto her shoulders as she kept a happy face and body language. Noting he was trying to get them inside she smiled and decided she would see what was up. "Sure why not! I would love to get some breakfast, how about you Kiki?" Kiki smiled as Rikka stood up with her on her sisters shoulders. She was now as tall at Alex. Setting Mint bunny between Rikka's ears she nodded her head. "Food sounds good!"

As Rikka lifted Mint Bunny from her head and held him in front of her he was at first startled, but quickly started giggling and said Hehehe, that tickles!! squirming as she picked him up. When she paused and was holding him he waved to her Hi, your ears are cool. Wait….boop Mint bunny had reached out and bopped her nose. When he was handed to Kiki he bopped her on the nose too. Wait, we’re getting food? Will they have chocolate mints? I love chocolate mints When he was set on Rikka’s head again he snuggled in onto her head again.
Alice was watching Rikka and Kiki’s interactions with Mint Bunny smiling It’s nice that Mint Bunny’s found some new friends, and these girls are both sweet. “I would love to get coffee, maybe we can have some scones as well.” Alice walked over to Rikka and Kiki and grinned as she whispered “So I see that you’ve both met Mint Bunny” she raised her voice to speak at a normal volume then and said “Can you please teach me better control of transformation, I have the ability to transform…but I don’t have any control over it…”

Smiling amiably, Alex walked up to the girls, his arms outstretched. Grabbing them both by the shoulders and pulling them in, he nodded confidently.
"Excellent, let us be on our way then." With a slight pop, the group vanished without a trace.
A few seconds later, a handsome young man with blonde hair walked up, studying the rose bush inquisitively. Turning to the pink haired girl beside him, he smiled.
"It seems someone has been playing among the school's precious flowers." Desdemona's unnervingly happy smile remained the same.
"Yes indeed Piercy! We should get to the bottom of this as soon as possible. I'd hate to have more of our pretty flowers destroyed." A slight shiver went up Pierce's spine as his unsettling companion spoke. Instantly regaining his composure, he remained smiling and the two set off.
-----
Reappearing in the small coffee shop, the woman behind the counter jumped in surprise, before she noticed who had arrived. Smiling, she placed her hand on her chest.
"Alexander, honey, I told you to stop doing that. You're gonna give me a heart attack one of these days. Skipping class again, and with three cute girls no less. What is you're mother gonna do with you?"

Rikka kept hold of her sisters legs as the boy quickly teleported them to the coffee shop. Smiling she felt her sister kind of weave on her shoulders before shaking her head and looking about. Pulling Kiki off she set the five year old on the ground and let her run up to the display of foods to look through it. Rikka smiled at the woman and gave a small wave. "Its my fault this time! He has been helping me keep my sister occupied until I lay her down for a nap in a bit." She wasn't exactly lying but she wasn't exactly telling the truth either. Of course it wouldn't be known to this woman. Moving to her sister she crouched down and listened to her rattle off on what she would like to have for breakfast. Giggling Rikka narrowed her choices down a bit. Standing she looked over her own choices before turning back to the woman. "May I have a medium chocolate milk, a large chai, two blueberry muffins and two english muffins with ham and cheese, Please?"
Kiki quickly did the math in her head and told her sister what change she was gonna need including tax. Rikka smiled and pulled a card which had most of her credits on. If the coffee shop didn't take cards she would just pay in cash.

Alice was dizzy from teleporting, but quickly her center and responded to the women behind the counter. She then noticed that her hand had accidently lite on fire, she let out a small gasp before pulling it out and smothering it in the folds of her dress “His mother need not be concerned, he’s been a fine gentlemen and has been very helpful” Alice responded before anyone could comment of her momentary loss of control. After Rikka and Kiki had ordered Alice walked up to the counter to order “May I please have a cup of Darjeeling tea with milk, and a raspberry scone. Thank you” Alice paid and, when she received her order thanked the women again and went to sit at one of the tables. Mint Bunny freed himself from Kiki’s grasp and followed Alice over to the table, sitting on the table opposite of her. Alice placed 2 cube of sugar in her tea before stirring it and taking a sip. She then broke off part of the scone and handed it to Mint Bunny, who ate it in one bite before sticking his head in the top of the tea cup to drink, when Alice went to take a sip he moved and sat back so that she could. Alice then pulled out a mint leaf from her bag; Mint Bunny took it and put it in his mouth chewing contently. To the casual observer they probably wouldn’t notice Mint Bunny’s antics, but she silently reminded him again to be careful anyway. Alice pulled out another few mint leaves popping one in her mouth “Would you like a mint leaf, they’re delicious” she said as she offered them to Rikka, Kiki, and Alex.

In response to the woman, Alex simply smiled and shrugged.
"Guilty as charged." he sighed, walking up to the counter. "I'll have the usual please." Smiling with a knowing look as the girls answered her, the woman behind the counter set about filling their orders.
"Cute girls, and they're covering for you. Aren't you just the luckiest damn guy in the academy Alex." Receiving his order of a medium coffee with cream and sugar, Alex slid into the booth in the seat opposite of Alice. When they were all taken care of, the woman walked over to their table smiling. "Have you started going to classes yet Alex?" Huffing, Alex turned away from the woman. She waved her finger with a frown. "Now that's no good. You're gonna make your mother worry if you don't start attending soon!" Turning to the girls, the woman smiled and winked. "He hasn't corrupted you all with his lazy ways yet has he?"

Rikka chuckled as they all got their orders and found a place to sit. Sitting next to Alice in the Booth, Kiki quickly climbed in next to Alex kneeling in the seat to add some extra height to her frame. Taking her half of the food she blinked when she heard Alex had been skipping classes! "Naughty! You can't skip classes! How are you supposed to learn new magic tricks or how to beat sissy in combat?!" Kiki loved hearing about the classes and couldn't wait to be able to enter them. Though for now she had to be content with archery. He sister had signed her up since she was gonna be there.
Rikka chuckled and leaned over patting Kiki's head. "No ma'am. I have afternoon classes and then late night classes. Though I will be sure to get him off to his classes." It seemed that Alex had worried many women recently. Well if he thought he could skip classes she would have Kiki tell him better. Kiki followed her sisters ideas about school. If ya can't beat it, make it fun!

Alice sat quietly finishing her tea and smiling as she watched Rikka and Kiki begin eating their food. When the women came over and started talking to Alex, Alice replied “I agree with Kiki, no boy can become a proper gentleman without a solid education behind him. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure he attends his classes, in fact, I believe Mr. Withurst and I have Earth Science together later this afternoon.”
Mint Bunny took off from the table and landed on Alex’s head psst, Kiki He said proceeding to make several funny faces at Rikka, Kiki, and Alice. Alice just smiled quietly and continued drinking her tea. Don’t worry, I’ll just hover if he tries to grab me...unless he’s quick enough to catch me Mint Bunny said again grinning at his plans.

Frowning, Alex continued to stare out the window.
"I think it's a bit late for me to be a gentleman." He said blankly. Feeling something on his head, he subconsciously brushed at it before turning to Kiki and giving her a small smile. "But don't you worry, I've got plenty more magic tricks. I can teach myself better than this school can." Sipping at his coffee, Alex leaned back in the booth with a smug look on his face. "I guess you could say I'm better off skipping." Giving him a dubious look, the woman turn to the girls and winked at them with a smile.
"Well, I guess I'll leave him to you then. Don't hesitate to tell me if you need anything." Ruffling Kiki's hair, she walked away, returning to her preparations behind the counter.

Kiki watched him before her eyes got distracted by Mint Bunny who was making faces at her. Snickering she nodded her head as Mint Bunny before looking at the woman, who had ruffled her hair. Smiling she stood up on the seat and poked Alex's head. "Then you must beat sissy at a combat match!" Happy with her decision she sat down and earned a pitiful look from her sister as she dug into her muffin. "But But but Kiki! Hes probably out of shape! He wouldn't be a good match!" Kiki shook her head defiantly. She was set on her decision. Her new friend was not allowed to skip classes!
Rikka sighed from her seat and looked at Alex. "I'm sorry but is seems she had made up her mind! After Breakfast how about we move to the gym to have a quick match?" Rikka seemed to be enjoying her sisters defiance.

Mint Bunny giggled as Alex’s hand missed him. Alice finished her tea and set the cup down before saying to Alex “You may be good with magic, but science does not fall under the magic category. Besides, science is important; Even if you already know what’s being taught in class it’s a great place to meet new friends.” Mint Bunny took this opportunity to leap from Alex’s head across the table to Alice’s head where he settled in still chewing on his mint leaf. “Oh, a duel! What a marvelous idea. Duels are great fun, and a great way to hone your combat skills.” Alice commented excitedly. I haven’t had a duel in a while, maybe I’ll find someone else who’s good with swords and challenge them

Alex waved off Alice's suggestion as he stretched out, putting both hands behind his head.
"The way I see it, if you already have enough skills to make a living, you don't need anything more. I'm perfectly content where I am thank you very much." When the group began insisting on a sparring match between Rikka and himself, Alex's expression fell into an unhappy grimace. Slouching forward and leaning on his arm, he closed his eyes, attitude switching from his previously agreeable one to stubborn childishness in an instant.
"Nope, don't wanna." Being a sniper as he was, Alex always felt uncomfortable with the prospects of dueling another student. His skills were focused on killing his opponent, period. It didn't feel right to look at other students in such a way.

Rikka laughed as Alice seemed to really get into it. As Alex turned into a stubborn child she grinned. "Well of course it would have to be a game of capture the flag!" She didn't particularly enjoy fighting other students, but games were fair game. Yes a game of capture the flag would be awesome. "Okay we need rules! No affinities! But Knowledge and other skills are of use!" Taking a bite out of her muffin she waited to see what Alex's reaction was.
Kiki nodded her head and stood on the seat excitedly! "yeah!!" Poking Alex she gave him her best no nonsense look as she pointed at him like she was in charge. "If you win then you don't have to go to classes, but if Sissy wins you can't skip class no mores!"
