A small smile grew on my lips as I observed Coeur.

"Its good to finally have a family." I spoke before he let out a deep chuckle and walked down to me and putting a hand on my back.

"Robin, take our new family member up to her room." He lightly guided me to the stairs where he let me go and Robin took his place, me slapping his hand away, of course as we climbed up the steps.

"I'm glad to see you've made the right decision." He commented with a cocky smirk.

"Oh please, I've only come here to show you up. I suppose, seeing you're my competition, it clearly won't be too hard." He chuckled.

"Now now, don't be so sure of yourself. You ,of course, will still have to learn how to hunt and use a weapon." I snorted.

"You really think I would keep all those daggers on me and not know how to use them? I've fended for myself since the age of five." I saw an impressed look cross his face which he was quick to cover up.

"Fair enough, but you'll still have to work to be better then me. I've been learning since I was three." In response I shoved him which he only laughed at and I couldn't help but let a small smile grow on my face.

"Ill admit De Noir, you're tenfold the company than petty Maria and her sniveling rabbit." He looked at me and grinned.

"I'm the best company in be-" But I cut him off with another shove, making sure it hurt. He whined but couldn't stop laughing as my cheeks were dusted with a light shade of pink.

"Watch it De Noir." I warned, trying to seem threatening despite the burning in my cheeks.

"Of course my lady" He said with a small bow as we stopped in front of a door. "This would be your room. There's fresh clothing on the bed, be sure to settle yourself in." I nodded and began to enter before he grabbed my wrist. "Oh, and Isabelle, my room is three doors down the hall." He said with a wink. I clenched my teeth and went to punch him but he quickly pulled away and bolted off to what I assumed to be his room. The nerve of that boy.

Closing my door and locking it, I turn to my new room and quickly wander its circular perimeter. It's small, but just the right size and rather cozy. It consisted of a twin sized bed, a buearo, a dresser, and two nightstands on either side of the bed. There were two small arched windows just big and thick enough for me to sit in. Though the view is not quite like the one from my balcony, I like it.

Finally wandering over to my bed I discovered the clothes Robin had mentioned folded neatly. Picking them up I discovered I like what I saw. It was a dress, but it was simple and black with silver trim. Pulling my clothes off and slipping the on I find it to be very soft and comfortable. Sitting there admiring it I let out a small squeak of surprise when a knock sounded on my door.

"Isabelle? Are you done in there? Its time for dinner." I quickly rush to the door and unlock it, opening it and finding Robin, leaning against the wall beside the door. He had been staring off into space until he heard the door open, looking towards me as he did. "Its about time, you know you take for-"

But he cut himself off mid sentence, eyes widening slightly at my appearance. I smirk grew on my face and I quickly reached out, snapping in front of his. He gave a jump of surprise, a small blush on his cheek which, unlike me, he quickly recovered from.

"Did I scare you?" I question with the smirk still held on my face. He snorted.

"Yeah right, but I know for a fact I scared you." I raised an eyebrow.
