Despite her predicament, Xue-Li soon found herself struggling to suppress her laughter. She pressed her hand to her mouth, giggling silently behind it and grinning widely.
With a shake of her head, Xue-Li replied, "Thank you...but...I'd rather explain to my parents myself. Even if my father believes my grandmother, there's a chance that my mother won't. She's not as involved with the Xing history as the rest of my family is, so she won't understand why everyone else is so paranoid." She paused. "Actually, I think she'd invite you in for some tea every time she sees you after you explain.
"Besides," she continued, "the entire apartment is covered with wards against supernatural creatures."

Lestat smiled at her because she was smiling. "Well. Alrighty then!! Your mom sounds nice! ...i dont know about that old lady though.... but ANYWAYS lets go get coffee!!" Lestat grabbed Xue-Li's and Kayla's hand and tugged towards the stairs. "Where did Artemis say she was going....?" Lestat paused, trying to remember where she had said the coffee shop was. "umm.... Kayla? Where's Artemis? Did she come with you?" Lestat looked at Kayla with big tearful eyes. " I MISS HERRRR!!!!"

Kayla grinned at him. "Don't fall to pieces just yet," she said. "She didn't follow me, but i'm sure she's around here somewhere. I remember where the coffee shop is; maybe she went ahead and ordered for us or something."
Warded against supernatural creatures? I wonder f i could get through...

Xue-Li followed, not that she had much choice. She had to admit it though; listening to Kayla and Lestat converse was really quite soothing in its own way.

Lestat halfway felt like trying out the wards, but decided that coffee was more important at the moment. "Well! I'm glad you find us soothing. Hah." He laughed and put a top hat on Xue-Li. "When we take you home.... I am so trying out your warded house mayn!!!"

Xue-Li blushed under the top hat. Note to self: Don't think things like that when people around you are reading your mind. "Where did this hat come from?" she asked curiously, taking it off and examining it. It seemed ordinary enough, but then again, who knew?

"That hat came from...." Lestat paused and tried to remember exactly where it really came from. "Well, honestly i dont remember, but i can tell you where this one came from!!" He waved about a cowboy hat, which seemed like he had pulled from another demesion. "Its from Volan 6." He smiled happily as he spoke, "And it's my favorite hat ever! I can put all sorts of stuff inside of it!! Like this badger!" Lestat pulled a badger from his hat and threw it away from them, because badger's arent very nice creatures and he didnt want it to attack anybody he knew. Although, he didnt mind if it caused other people any problems. He watched it as it ran though a crown of people, who obviously were rather startled. "umm... how 'bout that coffee now? Kayla? Where are we headed?"

Xue-Li watched ruefully as the startled badger dashed its way through the crowd, causing several high-heeled females to shriek and try to smack it with their overly-large pocketbooks. Poor badger...it must be in shock right now, she thought sympathetically.

Kayla looked around, ignoring the badger with the ease of long practice, and quickly spotted the covert signs and shaded windows of the coffee shop they had all been perusing earlier. "C'mon, Lestat, it's over there." She began to push her way through the crowd when a sudden thought occured, pulling her up short. She stopped, spun, and directed a dazzling smile towards Xue-Li.
"I'm sorry, did i neglect to introduce myself?" she asked, giving a very short bow. "I'm Kayla, it's very nice to meet you."

"Oh." Xue-Li grinned sheepishly. "Nice to meet you. And I guess you already know my name," she added, ducking beneath a person's waving arm to avoid being smacked in the head.

"Yessss. Xue-Li, i think? Sorry if i pronounce it wrong- i'm terrible with names, and foreign ones doubly so." Kayla talked over her shoulder to Xue-Li as she continued to wade her way through traffic, absently waving for Lestat and Xue-i to hurry.

Xue-Li hurried along, darting into the empty gaps between groups when she could find them. "It's okay," she said awkwardly. "Lots of people don't even try to pronounce it right," she added, cringing at the way her sixth-grade teacher had once mangled her name.

Lestat followed along silently pondering why he had put a badger in his hat. "That's the place, right?" He pointed to the coffee shop that was just past the next swarm of people. "Ya know i really wouldnt mind just squishing all of these people.... there are so many of them." He frowned and began to push his way throught the crowd of people as if he were human.

By some strange miracle, Xue-Li was able to weave through the crowd with only one person stepping on her foot. "Excuse me," she repeated constantly as she pushed past one last cluster of people.
An instant later, she was standing in the doorway of the inviting-looking coffee shop. She peered inside. The coffee shop was surprisingly full for the time of night.

Lestat gave up on trying to pust his way through the crowd and jumped over them all, landing beside Xue-Li. "Erm. I dislike crowds. Lets go in." He pushed open the door and walked straight up to the counter, cutting infrount of quite a few people.
