"If they wanted money from some child's mother, surely they'd have better luck pickpocketing. Nothing but scum either way." Asuza said, but then her eyes widened a bit. "You said... multiple people look after you? Does your mother have servants or something? She rich? A ransom...?" She asked Nicori, before noticing One-Eye's anger and trailing off.

"Are you alright, One-Eye?" Asuza wondered if his encounter with the robot wasn't his first in relation to people like LEMON. Of course she had no way of getting any answer besides a nod or the shake of his head, but something about the crime syndicate clearly bothered him.
 
Nicori nodded to Asuza with her question to him.

"Yah! Mama has three people looking after me" He held up four fingers. "A cool goat with really big horns and a stuffy tail. He's super smart! Next is a reeeeeally big spider lady who loves to make me lots of clothes. She made me my shirt! Last guy is a snake-cat mix with super big claws who's obsessed with trying to kill Mama. He never wins since Mama owns him. He likes it when I pet his ears and nap with him."

Nicori pointed his spoon to Iceik, putting some mash potatoes in his food by accident.

"I didn't do anything, Ruffy!" He whined. "I just wanted to cut my potato like Suza does! They said they had a knife so I went with them..."
 
"Yeah! And because of that, you gave me nothing but trouble, brat! And quit calling me Ruf-" Iceik felt "killing intent". He turned around, noticing One-Eye's anger.

One-Eye stopped eating his foot. He stood up instantly, grabbing Liza by the shirt. The sheer anger of his eyes locked onto hers.

"H-hey! Wh-what's wrong!?" Liza yelped.

It seems One-Eye wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

"H-hey! What's gotten into you!?" Iceik said backing up a bit.

Bob didn't seem fazed of what just occurred.
 
"Sounds like the freakiest bunch of babysitters I've ever heard of." She remarked, just before One-Eye's sudden change in demeanor.

"Whoa! What's gotten into you?!" Asuza, by reaction, stood up from her seat hoping One-Eye wouldn't act out. She hadn't seen him so worked up like that before.

"I... uh..." Asuza hesitated, but noticed One-Eye didn't make a sound again. She hated having to play Charades once again to have a clue what he was thinking. "Right.. you don't talk..."

"Well, uh, you mentioned the LEMON people... uh, I don't think One-Eye takes kindly to them..." She told Liza in a nervous voice before glancing at One-Eye. "Did... did they do something to you, One-Eye? It seems like you recognize them...." Wishing to diffuse the sudden tension, she shifted her position to stand by Liza in opposite direction to One-Eye. "They've done you wrong, haven't they?" She guessed.

Damn... I hate drawing attention but I don't want him to just pull out his sword and start smashing things or something crazy...
 
Vox seems unaffected and says nicely trying to diffuse the tension "One-Eye your anger is misplaced." Vox thinks "I older than dirt and i know one dos not shoot the messenger."
 
One-Eye stared at Asuza for a moment. 

"Y-yeah! I-I don't know m-much about Lemon, b-but if th-that's something of c-concern of you, I-I can tell you w-what I know!" Liza was struggling to breathe as One-Eye had his hands gripped onto her shirt so tightly that it affected her neck.

One-Eye looked turned to Liza and then back to Asuza. He didn't want to placed his anger on anyone, but rather trying to get information from Liza about this "supposed group" called Lemon. He took a deep breathe, nodded in agreement of what Asuza said. He simply dropped Liza on her chair before going back to his seat. 

"Christ.. I nearly shat a brick there.." Iceik thought. "Thank goodness it didn't went too out of control.."

Liza cough a bit.

"Phew..." Liza breathe slowly.

"He doesn't talk?" Bob asked.
 
Vox thinks "good thing no one chose to push more." Vox asks  "Dos any you have some thing to write on and with? So One-Eye can communicate nonverbal with us." Vox thinks "I wonder if One-Eye knows how to write in common?"
 
"Suza! Mr. One-Eye is acting all crazy. You gotta keep your boyfriend calm down." Nicori snickered. "Kiss him to make him less angry! Kissy Kissy! I got an idea."

Nicori shifted around in his seat and plopped on the floor. He took his bowl of mashed potatoes and went over to One-Eye. Regardless of how playful he acted around him, he was still careful not to make him mad. He held up his mashed potatoes to the man.

"Have some mashed potatoes My. One-Eye." Nicori blushed a little. "Suza made them and they are really yummy. Mushy food calms down everyone! Maybe we can eat some pudding later on."
 
"Well... sort of. He doesn't talk, and I don't think he can. I've never heard so much as a sound from him, so I figured he would be considered a mute." Asuza replied and sat back down at her spot. "I don't have a notebook or a pen, but I'll ask the owner for a note pad when he finishes setting up our room to stay in for the night." She turned to Liza while Nicori tried to lighten up One-Eye's mood. "I apologize on his behalf. He prefers 'speaking' with actions rather than words."

"And I-I told you, he's not my boyfriend! It would just be too strange if I k-kissed h-him..." Asuza scolded Nicori, her face immediately turning maroon and her heartbeat suddenly elevating. "You s-silly child..."
 
"I like how you didn't reject the idea of kissing him.." Iceik whispered. "Never thought you have a "soft side". That's actually kind of scary..." 

"It's fine.." Liza coughed. She drank some water to cleared her throat. 

"Bad boys with girls tend to do crazy things, that we don't understand. I been there and done that when I was a feisty child myself." Liza chuckled.

"I see.." Bob said. "A mute huh..? I don't have anything that writes other than curses pens and whatnot." Bob scratches his head. 

One-Eye stare are Nicori for a moment. He didn't seem annoyed, so he chose to take bowl of mashed potatoes, but only a portion of it. He left the rest of it to Nicori and rubbed his head to expressed his gratitude.
