he's not [that] bad / magdan

episode 14

meanwhile in a mansion not so far away from studio d, china riot sat outside under her gazebo sipping tea and bossing her new employees around.

you know, her favorite pass time.

aay was currently in a maid's outfit being scolded by the girl, he held a long stare at the perfectly trimmed grass ground as her words sunk in

"i told you time and time again! you're supposed to leave the teabag in the cup but you just never listen!" the ventus brawler angrily said, she smashed her fist against the fancy table that it made her cup and plate shake a bit

"well how should i know?" aay asked in an ashamed tone. "that stuffs disgusting, how can you even manage drinking it?!"

"of course you wouldn't know, you're just a stupid commoner" the girl huffed hugging her stuffed bunny and sitting back down "and because of that, i here by denounce you as my maid"

"what?! no! you can't do that!" aay cried. he did hate the constant humiliation that came with his work clothes but getting himself out of a job sounded worse than any ol dress. in a state of panic he hugged china riot's side earning a groan from her as she tried to push him off "i'm sorry i made that mistake but please! don't fire me! you're the only person who even considered hiring me! oh, china riot pleeeeasee!" he started sobbing into her side. she rolled her eyes

at that moment china's royal bodyguard makes his way to them. he bows in respect as both ventus brawlers look up at him, one annoyed and the other distraught "ms riot, i'm so very sorry for interrupting... whatever this is"

"don't bother, you're not inturpting anything" she said finally managing to get aay off of her "but what is it?"

"i just came to inform you that you have visitors"

"visitors? i didn't order anyone to come by, tell them to leave!"

"you see I would but erm" he rubs his neck in embarrassment "i lost to them in a bakugan battle and you know the rules"

"seriously?!" china groaned and rubbed her forehead, annoyed by both endeavours "why did i ever get myself such a lousy brawler for a bodyguard? who would wanna come by anyway?"

luckily, she didn't need to ask because as soon as those words left her lips: her "visitors" made themselves known

"heeyyy china riot, it's been a while, huh?"

at the sound of that voice china riot gasps, she looks over to see lia walking in with both wynton and lightning following. the blue haired girl looked around "wow, this place hasn't changed a bit" lia said "still as fancy as i remember it"

wynton's eyes land on aay and he smirks at him, mainly what he wore "can't say the same for aay's sudden clothing style" he snickered

aay growled clenching his fists "who invited you in here anyway?"

"what? can't we visit our ol friends of the exit?" lia asked with an almost innocent smile

"that's a lie, you're obviously here for something" china riot said, she could almost smell lia's obvious lies like the mint in her drink

"well, y-yeah" wynton said hiding his nervousness with a smile "we just wanted to catch up, how's the crew been?"

"really?" the younger narrowed her eyes at the two suspiciously
