After his long study session in the Mansion's library, Aleksey decided he had enough. He was rather upset that Hardlight hadn't shown up like he said, "he must have had something important to do" Aleksey thought to himself. After his study session, Aleksey went upstairs to the dorms and went to sleep. His head was filled with lots of ideas, but his eyes and head were hurting, he just needed rest. After he woke up, he went down to the Kitchen, having missed a lot of the day, to get something to eat with a book in his hand. He took some milk from the fridge and made himself a bowl of cereal. He sat down to eat and opened his book called Insulation.

(he said today and tomorrow)
Heather walked into the kitchen, happy to finally eat something. She saw the large Dragon man and smiled. "Hey Alexsey," she said with a warm smile. She saw that he was reading and didn't speak any further. She didn't want to disturb him.
Seeing the milk on the counter and the cereal she already liked, she smiled wider and took a bowl for herself from the cabinet. Grabbing the milk and cereal box from Guardian she said "excuse me," letting him know she was interrupting him. She was a polite person. She then poured the cereal in the bowl and drowned it with milk. Taking a fork from the drawer, Heather sat on the counter and enjoyed her breakfast peacefully.

Aleksey was sitting there eating and reading, what a relaxing feeling. He didn't notice anyone come in, then he heard Aqua say "excuse me."
"Oh! hello" Responded Aleksey to Aqua. After she sat down to eat he looked at her curiously and said, "You eat cereal with a fork? How interesting!"

Sara motioned to the golem to wait by the door as she cautiously entered the kitchen. She had heard voices, one of which she recognized as Guardian's, and did not want to startle anybody with the sudden appearance of her fearsome companion. Yet, she also needed to get the golem something to eat as he had been crying for food for some time. Exactly what she would feed it this morning and how much it needed for breakfast was another matter. She did not have a clue. She still needed to see the headmistress to work out some sort of arrangement for the golem's care. But right now it was time to eat.
"Morning," she said to Guardian and to Aqua who she noticed was sitting at the table with a bowl of cereal, and strangely enough a fork....maybe they were out of spoons.
Meanwhile, the golem had not stayed put, instead he had come to the door of the kitchen and peeked his head in, following Sara with his eyes. Then seeing the others in the kitchen he had trembled with fear and pulled his head back, slipping around a corner out of sight.

Heather looked down at her hand, noticing the fork in her hand. She completely spaced out and didn't realize she as eating cereal in such a weird way. She couldn't help but laugh at herself as she hopped of the counter and grabbed a spoon from the drawer. "Wow, I didn't even realize that," she said between giggles. "Brain farts....you know?" She smiled to Alexsey and then turned to face Sara.
Heather never spoke to Sara. Not really. As a matter of fact, she didn't even remember her name. She still smiled, and gave the girl a small nod. "Morning," she replied. Something caught her attention at the corner of her eye at the entrance to the kitchen. However when she looked, nothing was there. She shrugged it off and placed the fork into the sink. The spoon in her other hand, scooped up some cereal and landed into Heather's mouth. She sighed at the great taste and looked back to Alexsey.

Aleksey saw Elixer walk in, "morning! he said to her, join us for some breakfast" he said with a smile. He chuckled at Aqua's responce, shaking the room with his roaring laughter.
Aleksey suddenly turned his head to the enterance, he paused for a moment, "did anyone just see something?" he said. There was nothing at the doorway now but Aleksey was sure he saw something there a second ago. He simply shrugged and turned the page and kept on reading.
"Do you any of you happen to know where Hardlight is at the moment? I have something I'd like to show him. It would help a lot if any of you could tell me." Aleksey thought of a new form of training he could show Hardlight.

"Hey who's the new kid, he's weirder looking than you dragon-boy." k'8 said as she strolled in. her over-sized army boots clumping on the floor. She was pointing out the door where the golem was standing. K'8 didn't judge people, she held everybody at arms length and just spoke as she felt. It wasn't as if she didn't like everybody, body she couldn't be bothered to like them really because too much was going on in her head and in her heart.
"What gives? No pancakes?" Katie asked sarcastically as she smiled at Aqua. "The whole place is gonna starve. Whatever will they do Heather?" She thought Aqua already hated her and didn't care one bit. She walked over and grabbed an apple looking at Aqua and asked "Is this good? Think Shadokat will be happy it's not gummi bears?"

Heather looked back to the entrance of the kitchen after Alexsey mentioned "seeing something". So she wasn't imagining things. She shrugged, still not sure if she really did see anything, and answered. "I don't think so. What did you see?" she asked. She took another spoonful of her cereal and sighed at the great taste again. Her peace was distrubed when K'8 walked in. Great, just when I solved things with Lorelai, I have someone else that bothers me. She didn't want to be bothered by the demon girl. After her being rude in the recreation room, Heather regreted taking K'8 under her wing. Shadowkat asked her, and Heather couldn't refuse. Plus K'8 didn't seem to be such a bad person. That opinion of her changed quickly enough.
She ignored K'8 as she walked in and made her silly comments. She winced as she spoke to her and took another bite of her cereal as to not respond. She nodded and looked at her food when K'8 asked if eating an apple was OK. It was a stupid question, and Heather didn't have time for stupid drama anymore.

"What's the problem? Jumper got your tongue?" k'8 started to giggle as she bit her apple. "In his moufff?" She said with her cheek puffed out and her own mouth full of apple. "I thought you were cooler than that. Yous guys shoulda seen them two yesterday." D'mnchyld started telling the story about going into the rec room and seeing Aqua rubbing Jumper all on his back. "Yea, and they were all talking all soft and lovy to each other. It was funny as hell!" She pointed at Aqua grinning. In her old school this was how her and her friends used to have fun, they would bag on each other and be real mean and cruel. She sat down at the table and folded her arms waiting for the awesome 'comeback' that she hoped would follow. It was hardly a fun game at all if your 'opponent' didn't try and cut you with a sharp edged comment. It all was about cutting for k'8, cutting in one form or another, the fun in life was in the pain. ( )

Sara was ready to tell Aqua and Guardian that she had not seen anything and they should not worry about it, when Dymnchild walked in and asked about a "new kid" which it did not take her long to figure out was the golem. Now she had a serious problem on her hands. How would she explain him to them? She cleared her throat nervously and started in on abbreviated explanation.
"That's Amos my..." She paused, stuttered a bit, and started again. "That's Amos he's with me. He looks kind of fierce but he's really gentle as he's a baby. He doesn't talk or understand words but he seems to follow simple gestures. He gets scared pretty easily. I was just going to get him some breakfast and then leave. I'm sorry if he startled anybody."
Hoping that would be sufficient explanation, she turned around and went to the door, finding Amos huddling outside. She gently took the golem's hand, and cooing softly to keep him calm led him into the kitchen, as if more people saw him just lurking outside the door heaven knows what kind of trouble might get started.
[Amos is six feet tall, has the body of a bear, a lion's head, and bat's wings]

Every time K'8 opened her stupid mouth, Heather wanted to knock her out then and there. She was tired of drama. She was tired of K'8, and the fact that she was supposed to be helping her on her diet, did not make the situation any better. She kept reminding herself to talk to Shadowkat and be mature about the situation. Beast was already upset at her from the "water explosion" the previous night, and Ian was upset at her. Thankfully she and Lorelai were on good terms so the people upset at her were decreasing.
Heather bit her lip and continued to stare at her bowl of cereal. K'8 was really pushing her buttons, however could not and would not start anything with her. It was what she wanted: a fight. Heather closed her eyes and kept her composure until the appropriate retort entered her mind. "Well I guess you have us all figured out," she said to the demon spawner sarcastically. She exhaled silently, controlling her anger. Good, you are gaining control, she said to herself.
Hoping K'8 would let it go, Heather listened to Sara. Amos? Who is Amos? Heather's eyes widened as Sara continued to speak. The more she described him, the more convincing his existence seemed. Heather looked to Sara and nodded slowly. She was speechless and didn't know what to say. Finally she opened her mouth but closed it not to sound like an idiot. Then, Sara brought the golem in and Heather's eyes widened more and her mouth curled into a smile. He was just so.........cute! He was adorable, like a giant teddy like lion. "Wow," she answered. "You sure he is friendly?" she asked Sara as she lowered herself from the counter. She wanted to pet him and make him not be fearful of her.

Sara hesitated at Aqua's question, the answered. "Well, he hasn't really been around people other than me so it's probably best if he gets a little bit more familiar with people before anybody gets too close." The last thing Sara needed was for Amos to hurt somebody because he got scared. Already the golem was looking around the room furtively and only staying moderately calm because Sara was holding on of his paws in her hands and stroking it rhytmically to let him know everything was alright.
After answering Aqua's question, she slowly let go of Amos's hand so she could get him some food. To keep him calm she started to softly sing him a little song that her mother always used to calm her when she was a small child. After all a lullaby had worked the other night to get him to calm down and sleep, so maybe it would work this morning.
She sang quietly and slowly:
In dem bays hamikdosh, In a vinkl chayder Zitzt di almone bas Tziyon aley. Ir ben yochidl Yidele vigt si k'seyder.
Un zingt im tzum shlofen a lidele sheyn. Unter Yidele's vigele Shteyt a klor veis tzigele. Dos tzigele is geforen handlen;
Dos vet zein dein beruf. Rozinkes mit mandlen. Shlof-zhe Yidele, shlof.

Aleksey heard K'8s remarks about Aqua's personal life after she walked in. "What only involves two people, doesnt require a third" he said softly toward K'8 as she ate her apple.
Aleksey turned to watch the big furry figure walk into the kitchen with Sara. The figure looked like Aleksey just a little shorter and furry. He remembered his first days around people, he was always scared, hiding under his big cloak. Now he has friends, he has nothing to hide.
Aleksey listened quietly to Sara's song. He took an empty bowl, poured some cereal in it and some milk, then pushed it toward Sara and Amos with his tail. "Is he hungry?" Aleksey asked as he pushed the bowl toward him.
