A smile lit up Tori's face as he finished off his duck and moved onto the salad. she didn't hate him! Yay!
"Well, all of the staff gets paid well," he said, having to think of just how much they got paid, "I believe Sophie gets paid...20 rips an hour?"
((1 rip= 3 dollars))

"And I'm getting paid minimum wage!" she growled a little under her breath, "Incase you royals don't know, that's about 3 to 4 rips an hour, depending." she shook her head, "It's a sad sad world out there."
Meiyu shook his head, and Fang watched him scornfully
"that's because you live like a hermit, old man. You only get paid per paying patient, and half the time you turn them down. I honestly don't know how you're still alive." she poked him, before digging into her salade, and Meiyu turned to tori,
"Ignore her, she doesn't always speak her optimistic side, you know."

Tori heard her with sadness. It sounded like it was true. They didn't really have easy lives. He wanted to help, but what could he do...?
Tori's face lit up.
"You two could work here at the castle," he said optimistically, "I could hire you, Meiyu, as my personal healer and Fang could be my bodyguard. What do you say?" he asked, wings twitching with excitement at the good idea. That was a good way to help! They could stil live in their little houses and they could play with him and get paid for it! It was great!

"I don't know....I refuse to work in the castle." Fang set down her fork in thought. Meiyu was smiling and nodding his head, but she could not be wooed so easily. Still, it was better money than what she had already...and she wouldn't have to leave...and she'd have to be violent. Which she was good at. Though, other may end up calling her a hypocrite, since she was always talking about how she hated the royals, and nobals, and how they abused their power. Slowly she nodded, too, "When would we start?" she asked hesitantly, still thinking it over.

Tori was almost bouncing with excitement. They were agreeing! It made him really happy.
"Whenever you wanted," he said, being conciderate. He knew that it might take some time to quit what they were already doing, so he didn't want to push his luck. Amon be praised! He was so happy.
He remembered that they were at the table, so he regained his composure and started politely stabbing his salad again.

"I can start any time." Meiyu chirpped, since he technically worked for himself.
On the other hand, Fang picked up her fork again, "it could be around a week, for me...I have to hand in my resignation." she started in on her salad once more.

Tori nodded, being paitent. They were going to work for him! He had never had his own employees, but he had never wanted anyone for himself before. He was happy. This really was the best day of his life.
Leaning forward to take a bite of his salad, he felt something wizz by the back of his neck. Looking at the wall he found an arrow. Tori looked the opposite way, finding someone sitting in the window. Sighing, he stood.
"Why do you always try to kill me at dinner?" he asked the masked assassin, walking over. The Assassin was frozen in place from being seen. Tori was lead to believe that he was new to the trade and so he couldn't go back to his master until Tori was dead.
Reaching out his hand to touch the Assassin, he disappeared, leaving Tori reaching out for air.
He sighed again. He could at least let me talk to him, he thought, going and sitting back down, eating his salad like nothing even happened.

Fang watched wide-eyed, and, seeing Tori so calm about it, she said cool-ly, "What a suck-ish assassin." she replied. What kind of an assassin runs away once he's been spotted, huh? Her mind suddenly turned.... they'd be running when SHE was his body guard. She'd kick butt like there was no tomorrow. "Nevermind what i said...I can start in two days." she smirked, and Meiyu scooted away from her, whispering to Tori,
"Watch out. That's her plotting face."

Tori raised an eyebrow, smiling. Plotting face? He was curious. He wanted to know, but...he would leave it for later.
"In two days?" he said with a perk, smiling. She must really want to guard him! He was excited, but he was trying to keep it to a minimum. He stabbed his salad with his fork and looked over at Meiyu.
"What's that supposed to mean?" he whispered back.

Meiyu's eyes widened and he sat back, "You'll see." Poor boy boy would have to suffer spending almost every moment with Fang. He got a kind of glint in his eyes. The chances of this ending in scandal were very high.
Fang listened to them,
"I;m not plotting anything! I swear it!" she insisted, eating her salad, and Meiyu rose an eyebrow at her. She was obviously lying, and he wondered what she had up her sleeve.

Tori was confused...again. Without another word he finished his salad and waited for them to as well.
"Meiyu," he said after a few minutes, "Why do the people outside the castle hate the Royals? Will you please tell me?"

Fang dropped her fork and stood, "Tori...may I freshen up in your bathroom?" Her voice was soft but her face was stony and hard, and Meiyu gulped. It wasn't the best topic to ask with Fang around...perhaps once she'd left the room.

A maid stepped forward and Tori nodded.
"Sure...lead her there please," he said to the maid, watchign Fang walk off into the hall. With a confused look, he looked at Meiyu again. He waited.

Fang followed the maid to the bathroom, and splashed her face with cold water, forgetting that Meiyu had painted her up with make-up, and she ended up just wiping the mess completely off, and stared at herself in the mirror.
Meiyu sighed, "It's a sad story really...and she'll be very angry if she finds that I told you. " he looked to the prince, "You mustn't speak of this to her, am I understood?"

Tori blinked, but he nodded at Meiyu. He wouldn't betray his trust, Or Fangs. "I won't say a word."
