Nicolae shook his head, but he had a huge smile on his face. "No, why should she? What did you do?" Nic sat back against the wall and was already chuckling just at all the possibilities she could do. "Not trying to change her into a real snake are you? Wait! Do a different color. I remember her saying she loves green. She might be happy you done that to her. Make her blue or something." Nic couldn't believe he was actually sitting her consipiring against a member of his own house AND a prefect to boot.

"Nah," Arianna shook her head. Nic's ideas were good ones. One she'd really want to try, but hadn't yet had the chance. "It was paint that can only be removed if you have the anti-paint potion. She thought she'd taken the bucket of remover, but I switched it with water when she wasn't looking. I'm sure she'll have a hard time with that one."

Nic chuckled. "Now I can't wait to see that. Reina is... she's one of those girl's who needs to be taken down a peg or 52." Nic shook his head. "Wow don't ever let me get on your bad side."

"That all depends on you, doesn't it?" Arianna asked. She extended her arm and patted him on the knee. "Just don't take my things without permission, claim my stuff as your own, or attempt to piss me off in other ways and you'll be just fine."
She gave him an encouraging smile. As far as Arianna was concerned, Nic couldn't do anything that would tick her off that bad.

Nic gave a mock huge gulp and made his eyes look wide and scared. Then he burst out laughing. "Naw for real. You really are a force to be reckon with me. My word. Believe me I won't get on your bad side or piss you off. You're too scary." Nic smiled.

"Nice to know I can intimidate a man," Arianna teased, a large grin spread across her face.
"So, Nick...you already told me what you like to do..." Arianna tried again to turn the subject from her to the boy. "How about telling me why you're going to school here, in Scotland, when you're obviously from the states."

Nic was estastic. She thought him a man. Nic slightly puffed out his chest as he tried to concentrate on her words and not on his thoughts. "Uh, long story. Got into trouble and Treyvon and A..akina sent me here." Nic didn't want to tell her the bad news.

"Trouble, huh?" Arianna raised an eyebrow at that. It had to have been something serious if they sent him thousands of miles away to a boarding school. "Must've been some big trouble. But I guess it's a better reason than the fact that they just didn't like you. I've heard that one before."

Nic shook his head. "Naw, once my moms died Treyvon kinda forgot me. It was like he didn't have the energy anymore. Plus I started paying the bills so the roles were reversed. He couldn't tell me nothing." As Nic talked about his father his face hardened as well as his voice.

"YOU started paying the bills?" Arianna asked, curious as to how an eight year old could do that. Unless he meant his dad worked and Nic took care of everything else, Arianna couldn't see how that could happen without breaking child labor laws.

Nic shook his head he could see the confusion. "I was about 10 when my dad finally ran out of money. I worked... uh, in the streets and was able to get money that way. No one expects a kid to be dealin." Nic said too much. He looked at Ari and already knew what he was going to see. He braced himself.

Arianna's jaw dropped. Sure, it seemed possible, but she still couldn't see it happening. Not with someone so young.
"Wow," was all she could say for the longest time. "I mean...I knew some kids...but they were...older. Older than we are now. But...I just....goodness..."

Nic whole body language was already changing. His eyes were becoming glassy, icy, and hard, his body became rigid, and his throat got bigger while his Adam's apple bob while he swallowed. He personally knew it something big, but he was never ashamed of it til Agent Stone spoke to him. "Yeah, plus I made good grades and wasn't a screw up in class so people looked me over. I was perfect." Nic tried to make is sound it wasn't a big deal while trying to put in his good points.

"Well, it's not like you could have gotten a legal job....legally," Arianna offered. She had noticed the boy's change and was determined not to make is sound as though he'd done something terribly wrong. She knew what it was like to be in a similar situation, though she wouldn't have ever been able to bring herself to sell drugs to get by.
"I once worked in a pub to take care of myself," the girl said, realizing it wasn't quite the same, but their situations might be concidered similar.

"A pub? A girl like you? You didn't sell yourself on the side did you?" Nic didn't mean anything by it. He just knew that girls around his home if they were in a pub with drunk men; it wouldn't have been good. "It was the only thing I could do. Trust me it's either that or a gang and I didn't want to do that. I have too many friends doing that and it's stupid."
