Natsuki didn't say anything, though he twitched a little at Alice's remark to the woman "Alice..." He looked at her with a pleading look "Don't be so rude..." he muttered, sure he was pretty much being ignored by the couple, but still. He looked at the woman "Sorry." He said, apologising for Alice. "Alice tends to speak whatever comes into her mind when she's nervious..."

The man looked over at Natsuki while the woman spoke to her again. "Oh there is no reason to be nervous," She assured. Alice just looked at the origami in her lap. "So Alice is your name? That's very pretty," She said, crouching down to her level. "What have you got there Alice?" She asked, mentioning the origami. "It's supposed to be a bird," She said, though it was once again turning out to look like a crumpled ball, and once again she was getting all the attention she didn't want. Natsuki was the one who wanted to be adopted.

Natsuki patted her head, trying to calm her down "You're folding the wrong side." he said, pointing out what she was doing wrong. He could tell that she didn't want the attention, and wanted the people to leave, so he was trying his best to calm her down.

"I can't do it." She muttered, putting all the paper she had grabbed and giving it to her brother. "Well you shouldn't give up so easily, why don't we try together," The woman offered, obviously seriously interested in at least Alice, because not many put up with her for that long, and maybe if they were that interested in Alice, they would take both of them. Alice obviously didn't see it that way, because she didn't nod or grab for another peace of paper.

"Why dont all three of us try?" he asked, mainly talking to Alice, giving her another piece of paper, aswell as handing one to the woman "At the same time, tell me when it gets dificult." he said, again to Alice, and started folding the paper.

Alice looked down at the paper. Why wont they leave She thought, as she started to step by step copy Natsuki. As she went she started to get it, though her hands were trembling in the end. This only happened when she got really uncomfortable, like now, when people stayed around her too long. She just didn't know what to do with them. The woman and the man though, had no intentions of leaving, at least not without Alice. "You seem like a very sweet little girl Alice," She said, doing all the talking. "We were really hoping to find a little girl about your age. Would you like to come live with us?" She asked. Alice immediately latched onto Natsuki's arm with one arm of her own, holding the folded paper bird in the other hand . "No." She said immediately.

"Ehu?" Natsuki blinked when Alice latched onto him. Sure he was a little sad that it was an offer to only Alice, but at the same time he was happy that someone still wanted her as a daughter. But of course, he wasnt going to encourage them or let them take her away "Sorry, Alice is my little sister, and neither of us intend to leave here without the other" he said

"Well...we only came looking for one but..." She stood up and looked at the man. "I think adopting both of you wouldn't hurt anyone, especially since we don't want to go breaking up a family," She said. Alice's hand clenched tighter around his arm. She really didn't want to go, but they were offering both of them, there was no way she could convince Natsuki to turn down the offer too.

"If its not too much of a bother." Natsuki said. Truly he was very excited, but he didn't think the decision as final yet, so he kept his cool. He looked at Alice when she applied more pressure to his arm "Its alright, I'll be with you, so everything will be OK." He said quietly to her, so only she'd hear.

The woman stood up and smiled. "Well then we'll go talk to the people in charge and see if we can't get the paper work figured out," She said, and looked at the man, both of them walking away. Alice immediately looked up at him. "You know we don't have to go, it's not a rule or anything, we can stay here," She said, looking at him like he was the one who didn't want to go, though of course, the last thing she wanted to do was leave.

Natsuki just smiled at her, and patted her head "Its going to be alright, leaving here isint all that bad...we'll most likely have our own rooms, so it wont be as crowded anymore, and you can decorate it however you want." He said, smiling

"Why do you want to go live with strangers? Why can't we stay here? Sure it's a little crowded, but we've been here as long as I can remember. I know where they hide the cookies when they buy them, or which shower gets the most hot water, I don't want to leave," She insisted. Alice may have at times acted grown up, or tried to, but truly she was scared of things she didn't know. She was scared of change.

Natsuki just smiled "I'm a little nervious aswell...but we'll get used to it, nothing can stay the same forever...but things that change arent always bad you know." He said, then grinned "Its a big brothers job to take care of his little sister, so don't worry, if you're scared, I'll always be right next to you and protect you"

Alice let go of Natsuki and hugged the rabbit to her chest. She stood up, grabbing the paper bird. "I still don't want to leave..." She grumbled, heading out of the room and going for the bed room. She put the the paper bird on the side table and pulled her knees up to her chest. She looked around at all the beds. The pictures that were tacked to the walls near the beds of different girls. There were a few hands drawn pictures near her own bed, but the last thing someone could accuse Alice was was being artistic. Her drawings hadn't changed since she was five. "I don't want to leave..." She grumbled to herself.

Natsuki just sighed, kist relaxing in the seat with the paper bird he had folded. Sure he could just wait till he was older, had a job, an apartment, maybe he could adopt Alice, but then again, he was bad at everything he was being offered, in carpendry he nearly cut his arm off, and at welding he nearly fell into the fire. Not being able to qualify for a low rate job like that, how was he supposed to support his sister if they were on their own? Its best to take what you get.
