Crimson Academy RP

Dawn raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure you're alright?" she asked softly.

"Ah, yeah. Just got a headache all of a sudden." He stopped his next sentence short when someone down the table screamed and threw their roll down on the plate with a disgusted moan.
Leo snickered behind his hand and nudged Drake.
"And it begins," Avan murmured to Dawn, chuckling.

Drake held back a laugh but grinned over at Leo, "Man, this is going to be awesome." he whispered.
"Oh lord." Dawn sighed, setting her roll down.

"Oh yeah, brotha," Leo whispered back, trying to hide his glee.
Another three or four disgusted groans sounded around the table. One even spat the food out, nearly vomiting when he found a bug's leg in the half-digested blob.
"Yeah, probably best you don't touch it," Avan advised quietly.
"Is this Leo's doing?" his grandpa whispered, leaning over Karleigh to ask.
"Yeah. Don't eat the roll."
"I think it's brilliant," Karleigh giggled.

"This is beautiful." Drake snickered.
Dawn smiled at Avan before her eyes traveled to Cyrus once again and she shivered, grabbing for Avan's hand.

"It's a freakin' work of art," Leo replied, resisting the urge to jump up and cheer.
Avan rubbed her hand with his thumb. He didn't ask, figuring it was the waiter again. "Just don't look at him, alright? After dinner you'll never see him again."

"How long do you think your family will be traumatized by this?" he grinned.
Dawn looked at him and nodded, "It's just . . he looks exactly like my brother. It makes no sense. Maybe it's just the stress." she tried to reason with herself.

"At least a day," Leo replied.
"WHO DID THIS?!" a great-uncle - and one of the most terrifying men in the family - bellowed, his face red and furious.
Leo kept calm. He had dealt with this before. He had never been caught before. He picked at the fruit on his plate, looking around with everyone else.
"Someone did this. I demand to know who!"
Everyone looked between one another. Those who knew would never rat Leo out and the others had no idea.
Avan shook his head and leaned in closer to Dawn as he continued to yell. "Maybe you're projecting. You miss your brother, so you start seeing him in someone who looks similar," he suggested.

Drake did the same, but he looked a bit nervous. God that guy is freaking scary!
Dawn was a bit startled by the yelling but nodded, "You're probably right." she said, forcing a small smile.

Leo glanced at Drake. "He'll settle down in a minute or two," he assured.
Avan smiled and ran his thumb over her cheek. "You'll be fine."

"He's so freaking scary though." he whispered, "He looks like he can kick my ass.
Dawn blushed lightly, "Thanks." she smiled, "I'm sorry, I know, I should be enjoying myself."

"He could. Actually, he could probably rip your ass off and feed it to the dogs," Leo replied, smirking.
Sebastian's eyes flicked to Drake and Leo. His face darkened two more shades as he stalked over towards them.
Avan opened his mouth to reply but stopped short. "Aw crap."

Drake paled, "Oh crap, crap, crap." he muttered nervously.
"Oh no." Dawn sighed, "They're screwed."

Leo just smiled at his uncle. "Yes?"
He grabbed Drake by the front of the coat. "Was this you?"
"Royally screwed," Avan agreed.

"W-what?" Drake blinked, unable to keep his cool for once, "Of course not!" he said, panicked.
Dawn sighed, shaking her head, "Should we help him?"

Sebastian sneered. "It was you."
Leo got to his feet and rested a hand on his uncle's arm. "Uncle Sebastian, it wasn't him, alright. He was out riding the go carts with me all afternoon. It was probably someone in the kitchen or one of the servants. Why would he do this? He has no motive or reason."
"I think Leo's got it," Avan murmured.

"Y-yeah!" Drake said, building up confidence, "there was no way I did it!"
Dawn smiled, amused but it disappeared as she saw Cyrus walk towards them again, bringing the main course.

Sebastian released him, seeing that the food was being brought out. "I'm firing everyone in the kitchen and rehiring people. This won't be tolerated. I don't like your face though."
"No one does," Leo muttered, pulling Drake back down into his chair.

Drake made a face behind Sebastian's back before sitting back down, crossing his arms.
Nea knelt over, putting a plate in front of Dawn and Avan. He smirked at Avan before moving away.

Leo smirked. "That was close," he murmured, smiling up at his waiter.
Avan just nodded once and glanced at him before looking down at the still sizzling piece of steak and crab legs sitting in front of him. "About time. I'm starving."

"I thought I was going to die." Drake said, then looked down at the meal, wide eyed, "STEAK! MEAT!"
"Yeah, wow, this is really fancy." Dawn blinked.

Leo and Elizabeth laughed.
"Someone is really passionate about meat," Elizabeth joked.
"Welcome to the family, darling," Avan remarked with a wink. He dipped a crab leg in cocktail sauce before taking a bite.

"Well, meat is wonderful!" he said, rudely stabbing down at his meal.
"I could get used to this. Can you invite me more often?" he smirked.

"Drake. Drake," Leo said. "You uncultured swine. Like this."
Elizabeth and Leo both showed him the proper way to eat. For one, he was using the wrong fork.
Avan laughed. "Deal."

"But I want to eat my way." he frowned.
Dawn started to eat away at her meal, "Wow, this is amazing." she said, wide eyed.
