Noticing a girl walk in and sit in the corner, since Edgar seemed busy with the girls he moved towards her, "Erm." coughing he looked to Rukia, "Hi." He stood there a hand on his hip, "Why don't you join us over there?" Luke motioned to the tables that were starting to be filled. "I mean..If you want to of course."

He shrugged, "It's not like it's an exclusive gathering. People want to meet people and you look lonely over here by yourself. So why not?"

[bunnyfixation]

Rukia glanced at the overtly bubbly group and then up at Luke with a flat expression.

"Because I don't feel like moving?" It was pretty clear her mood was not in the best sorts. She glanced down at the drink and finally just took a long drink... and then her eyes widened and she coughed roughly. "WHAT IS THIS?!"

[dreck_luke]

Returning a flat expression as only Luke can he shrugged and then turned, "If you want to be alone fine. But, I can tell you from experiance it sucks."

Turning around he looked to Edgar and everyone else then back to Rukia, "Look this is going to annoy me." He grabbed her wrist and pulled her up. It wasn't in a condescending manner it was just to get her up as he moved towards the table everyone was at.

[bunnyfixation]

Her eyes widened at two things... being touched without permission by an unfamiliar male... and the sharp pain that shot through her as her left foot gave way. Instead of falling, however, she clung to Luke, grasping tightly to his clothing and digging in with her nails. "What is wrong with you?!" She practically growled it between her teeth, glaring at him.

[calamitousness]

Looking up, she smiled at Luke and Rukia. "Hey there," she said, totally ignoring Rukia's obvious annoyance. Taking a closer look at the other girl, her grin widened. "You're that girl from the park! When Demyx and I were looking for kittens!" She kicked out the chair next to her and motioned Rukia over. "M'name is Rikku. I can't really remember if we've actually been introduced before."

[dreck_luke]

Looking annoyed at her he noticed the way she was holding onto her winced as he dug in with her nail, "ACK!" He looked at her with a flat expression, "Loneliness in my presence is not tolerated." Of course we all know that is Luke's language and what he really meant to say was. 'Gee you don't have to be loney come meet people so you feel better.' But, it came out QUITE wrong.

[bunnyfixation]

Rukia pointedly ignored Rikku, not that she wasn't interesting or friendly enough but... well.. she was mad at Luke.

She pushed away from him, letting out a hiss as her weight settled onto her ankle but she held her groud, bringing up a finger to jab at his chest.

"TOLERATED?! I don't believe it matters to me if you can take it!"

[sandprince]

Seeing Rukia pushing herself away from Luke, Edgar stood up quickly and smiled. "Rukia, my dear Lady! How have you been? I haven't seen you since that lovely afternoon at the cafe. Please, take a seat, join us. We're here to celebrate!"

[dreck_luke]

"It shouldn't but I am not going to let you drink alone!" He stood there letting her jab him in the chest with her finger. It's not like it hurt and he never hit a lady so he would never make a swipe at her.

"Look quit trying to be a loner and sit down and have fun ..The others want you here if you HAVEN'T been listening."

[bunnyfixation]

She inhaled quickly and her eyes widened but her expression softened as she looked at Edgar. She shook her head and attempted to step back... only to put too much weight on her ankle again and fall back with a screech, toppling over a chair in her fall. Laying there a few moments she sighed and brought a hand up to her head. What could she say now? To decline under the guise of intruding would be far more rude than the intrusion itself. Damn. Damn. Damn. She just wanted to be left alone. She rubbed at her forehead and let out a sigh before plastering a smile on her face and looking up at Edgar. "Thank you, Edgar-san! I appreciate the invitation."

[sandprince]

Seeing Rukia fall, Edgar stood up and sprung over top of the table, using his right arm as a pivot. Landing beside Rukia, he knelt and helped her sit up, concern evident on his face.

"Are you alright, M'Lady?"

[dreck_luke]

Sighing and raising an eyebrow Luke muttered, "Dork." He then grabbed her hand and hauled her up and righted the chair moving it closer to the group. "There see....We WANT you here."

He moved to sit next to chibiusa and then stole glances at her every once and while. She reminded him of someone very familiar.

[calamitousness]

Her attention on Rukia quickly faded, and she turned to Edgar instead. "How's your back?" she asked with a sheepish smile.

[sandprince]

Edgar looked at Rikku and felt his cheeks flush slightly. Shrugging, he smiled. "Oh, it's fine, M'Lady. I told you, just a fleshwound. But thank you for your help all the same. It was very much appreciated."

[bunnyfixation]

Rukia nodded to Edgar but her response was halted by suddenly being lifted up. She glared at Luke and her jaw set as she took a seat and proceeded to ignore him. "Ah! Yes, you are not mistaken, Rikku-san! It is nice to meet you. My name is Rukia Kuchiki." She gave a small bow of her head to the blonde, even though she had ignored the girl... she still had heard her. Since she was having to be social she might as well.

"I think I meet you at the park too!" Ara informed the girl. She actually knew they had, but she had never learned the girl's name. "I'm Ara. Did I tell you that at the park? I think I did..."
