Billy’s outbreak momentarily broke Serin out of his slump as he looked up at her in disbelief. While he himself may not be a expert on relationships he was fairly certain that blurting out a confession into a bag right in front of the object of your affection was not the best way to confess. However, Serin was not in a particularly good spot to talk about good decisions after the fiasco he just caused, so instead of saying anything Serin just grabbed the bag and put it up to his own face.

”AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH” He yelled into the bag resulting a somewhat muted version it being audible. ”You are right that does help a bit” He said offering it back to the group should someone else want to do anything with it. At this point he figured anything that would happen would have to be between Smokey and Billy so he might be best not interfering for now. 

    This entire situation was giving Serin worst embarrassment he’d felt in years and he knew that he would have recurring nightmares about this until death granted him sweet release. The young leader contemplated this as he walked past the table in front of an enraged Smokey and the always clam Mikado, he was extremely grateful toward Billy who was also trying to get Smokey to disengage from a customer who just happened to be standing between the groups table and the exit. That man was likely the worst person for Smokey to pick on in the whole restaurant as he was a walking mountain of muscles and bone. Luckily for Smokey he was in a particularly good mood and enjoying the spectacle of the students being kicked out so he managed to restrain himself choosing to merely stand and look down at Smokey with a mixture of amusement and smugness.
   
   By now Serin had walked to the front entrance of the restaurants exit and was ready to make his departure and hide in his room in Beacon, but what would a team leader be without his team? He turned to make sure that the rest of his team were following and was mildly distraught that they were not. Well to be fair Mikado was. ” Come on guys lets get going, we’ve-,I’ve caused enough trouble for everyone here.” Serin whispered to the ground.  Because he was looking at the ground he would not notice mountain mans small change in expression and the minuscule amount of noise he would emit as Smokey was pulled away, his face elevating from mild amusement to a much higher form, and as part of the transformation a small but smug hpmh would escape his lips in a mocking tone. All this directed towards the lit cannon standing in front of him.

Serin glanced back and forth between the situation inside and Billy trying to decide the best course of action for both situations, but what was really beginning to stress him out was that he didn’t really know what to say to Billy in this situation. It wasn’t something that he commonly ran into(or ever really) and a bad suggestion here could ruin the team dynamics. ”Well Billy that’s a tough situation you have there and it is a little out my usual scope but let me say first off, your not a idiot.” He placed a weightless hand on her shoulder best he could without having it fall through her body.

”And second off, I guess we would should scout out how the Smokey feels….or if he feels.” Serin chuckled at his own joke. ”But whatever happens we’ll figure something out best we can.” He might have aimed that towards Billy but his head and attention was now turned back inside towards the scene that was unfolding past the pane of glass as the waiters and managers arrived at the table and war zone of food splattered around. ”And as a final thought we still gotta pay before we leave so…” He said before switching his consciousness back into his normal body.
   
Serin pulled his still mostly beet red face out of his hands to look the staff that arrived at the table bringing a aura of managerial authority with them. ”How can I help you-“ Was all the team leader managed to meekly creak out before the most important looking man interrupted him, ”My name if Fulton and I am the day time manager of this fine establishment and we can’t help but notice that you have all….been causing a disturbance here.” He poshly said looking down on the team with both of the waiter flanking him nodded in agreement. ”Because this we have to ask you to leave, effectively immediate. Here are you bills and you may pay by the door before leaving. Any questions?” As he said this the waiters placed the bills down on the table.

”Yes of course sir we’ve all very sorry for this.” Serin quietly said without looking up. He was horrified by this turn of events and could feel everyone’s eyes fall onto the remainder of team BSSM as he packed up to leave.

The situation at the table had thankfully normalized for now as Smokey began just angrily eating his food instead of getting angry, the atmosphere that was created was heavy but as long as they stayed calm and quiet they had a good chance of not being kicked out. The expressions of the staff appeared to confirm this theory which was great! The less restaurants the team were banned from the better as far as Serin was concerned.

But little did BSSMs leader know then that Billy was about to drop an absolute bombshell after she took their conversation outside away from prying ears. In order to control his clone and have it move to the new conversation spot he had to transfer full control over to it, leaving his real body at the table staring glass eyed into space. ”Of course I can keep a secret, long as its not harmful to anyone that is.” Serin said with a tint of worry in his voice seeing as secrets don’t often lead to pleasant things outside of parties and gifts, which he doubted was what Billy had bottled up. Instead she shared the news of her having a crush on Smokey which was such a mental shock that he momentarily lost control of the clone causing it to go stiff bodied and glass eyed while the real Serins body jumped in surprise, knocking over the table with all the food on it right onto the floor.

   The practical buffet of food all slid off the table in a cacophony of sounds that could easily be heard outside causing the rest of the poor restaurant to once again look at the 3/4ths of BSSM that were still at the table. Serins face quickly turned a vibrant shade of red as he realized just what happened plus the fact that they would likely be kicked out because of this disruption. He slowly sat down putting his beet red face into his hands and transferred control back into his clone. ”That’s uh, quite the news. How long has this been a….thing…for you? I assume you haven’t ,um….” His train of thoughts was evacuated as through the large front window he watched what appeared to be the manager of the restaurant dressed dapperly with two other waiters walking up to BSSMs table. 

Serin was concerned for Mikados lack of appetite after he refused his pancakes since Serin couldn’t recall him eating at all in the trip over and that is not a healthy habit. But his concern over the spontaneously full teammate was quickly paved over by the drama between Billy and Smokey that had resulted in Billy tearfully walking away from the table.  So far a typical Blossom breakfast. 

Focusing on his semblance Serin made one of his puppets appear in front of Billys path, ” Billy please stay, Im sure it was really murky down there while fighting and he just couldn’t see you. He probably had some reason for not knowing after Im sure!” He and his puppet simultaneously said while the real one gave Smokey a look that said ‘really?’.  The unfolding drama was also attracting lots of both subtle and not so subtle attention from the rest of patrons and staff at the restaurant, with the staff seeming agitated at the noise the young hunters were creating.

The truth about Billy’s and Smokey’s performance was that Serin was very proud of the out of the box thinking that they exhibited but was disappointed by several key actions that Smokey and Billy performed. Billy  would have to practice fighting against speedier foes(where was he going to get one of those?) along with some swimming lessons while Smokey needed to practice with his team more and maybe more some ethics class for him as well…

Serin snapped too after realizing that in a rare moment of self-control he had withheld all the negatives he was thinking and instead had just been blankly stared at Billy. ”Yeah you guys did great! I almost had a heart attack when you both went under so please never do that again. “ Serin said transitioning his gaze to focus onto Smokey as well who was inhaling his food to make sure they both understood but it appeared that the veil of food might be too thick to pierce. ”Also we’re going to have to take swimming lessons when we get back, even if doesn’t ever come up I don’t want anyone to have issues in water” He said while cutting the pancake that had arrived.

Now that all the overflowing amount of food was delivered to the table it appeared to any outsider that the team was waiting for another person, or two, or maybe even three due to Smokey’s food overflowing all over the table. It was only when Serin was half through his stack of pancakes that he realized Mikado had not gotten any food with the only thing that was in his area(that was his) was a coffee of some sort, even Krio was not out.”Are you not hungry Mikado? Do you want some of my pancakes?” Serin asked holding out his plate with the 2 remaining pancakes.

As Serin and the rest walked through the doors of Georges Breakfast Paloza he had a twinge of nervousness inside him as he looked around his team, he had packed some food and drinks for the trip back but far as he was aware he was only the one in BSSM to do so. The rest of them seemed absolutely famished since all they had were the disturbingly tough pretzels and ginger ale that somehow made you even thirstier to satisfy their needs on the long journey. So now walking into the all you can eat breakfast they sounded like a pack of wolfs growling as they close in on their prey, not to say that Serin was not hungry for he was, but to a much more manageable amount then his peers.

Sitting down he quickly glanced through the menu and decided to go with a stack of pancakes with bacon on the side, one of his favorite meals that was difficult to mess up making it a great measuring stick for new restaurants. Once the meals had been ordered and menus swept away by the bored looking waiter he looked over the team while thinking about their satisfactory performance in the festival. It had not been without blind spots and issues but those would be an easy fix with some adjustments to their training, but for now it was time to enjoy themselves and have a well earned breakfast!
While looking over his team he did not miss Billys strange behavior, usually she would be one to start a conversation in a rare moment like this but instead she seemed to be shying away and purposely averting her gaze from the rest. Maybe she’s just tired, the flight was long. Serin thought as he ran through other possible conclusion to this mystery.

”Hey Billy, what’s up? You’re acting a little aloof today.” Serin said before taking a sip of his coffee in a attempt to stir up some morning conversation. 

Im down to throw Serin into this, I doubt he would very happy with the disruption.
