Quo glanced at her and smiled lightly. "They're a mixed bunch. Some are hyper and random, while others are nice and calm, and a few are shy and timid." He gestured with his head, "My house is just a few more streets. Hopefully you can meet some of them. If you'd like."

Suchin giggled softly. "Well, I don't see how I can go to someone's house and not meet at least some of the family..." She replied. She was so used to her and her siblings all sitting down for dinner and enjoying it together, unless they were at a friend's house; but she also knew in France not many were able to do that because the fathers had to work, etc... Maybe it's the same in the United States... She thought to herself.

Quo tapped his lip. "Touche then dear." he laced his fingers behind his head, licking his lips. "One or two of my siblings may not be there. Sometimes they work in the evenings. Lets hope they're there today." He smield at her.

Suchin giggled, "So then, just how many people are we talking about?" She asked, hoping she said the phrase right. She remembered hearing an American girl in her class back in France use it a lot.

Quo tilted his head, thinking of his siblings. "Counting mom and not counting myself, 12 I believe. It's not as many as my cousins, but it's still a busy house. How many do siblings do you have?" He turned down a road, tugging on Suchin's sleeve so she would follow him. "We're almost at my house."

"Oh... I only have six siblings..." She blinked as she got led down a street, then let out a small laugh, "But I never thought I'd be saying it like that... 'only...'"

Quo chuckled softly. "Everyone seems to have large families. Even six is large." He chuckled at her last comment, nodding. He stopped at the second house, turning to her. "We share a house with our cousins, but it's separated so one half is theirs and one half is ours. Thats why it's 3 floors, plus basement and small attic space." He shrugged, turning to the dirt path leading to the back of the house.

Suchin loked up at the house, not able to hide her surprise at the sheer size of it. "Oh... It seems like a nice house..." She replied simply, following Quo.

Quo shrugged. "It's cool. Nice and roomy, with people coming in and out. There's never a dull moment here." He smiled back at her as they rounded around. It looked like the back of the house had been changed to look like the front of a house. There were woods a couple yards away, and a tree right outside the porch. "So, you ready to go in and help me make dinner?"

Suchin nodded, excited to get to try to make Thai food. She wasn't typically the cook in the house, but she could cook for herself, too. "Oh," She said suddenly, her tongue sticking out as she bopped herself on the forehead, "I could've used your cell phone the entire time... Can I... Can I call my family, let them know I won't be home for dinner?" She repeated meekly.

Quo nodded, about to walk into the house when he heard her say "oh" and hit herself on the forehead. He was a little startled until she explained, then he just smiled and nodded. "yeah, sure thing. Like I said, I wouldn't want your brothers coming after me." He chuckled as he handed her his phone, showing her where to get to the dial pad.

Suchin giggled and dialed her eldest brother's phone number. "Hello?" Enzo asked cautiously. "grand frère! (Big Brother!)" Suchin called out excitedly. "Oh, salut Suchin. Qui est ce téléphone? Oh, Hi Suchin. Who's phone is this?)" Enzo asked. "C'est pourquoi vous devriez examiner obtenir notre téléphone cellulaire ... J'ai fait un nouvel ami et que je mange à sa maison, d'accord? (This is why you should look into getting us cell phones... I made a new friend and I'm eating at his house, okay?)" She explained. "Ok, amusez-vous (Ok, have fun)." Enzo replied. Suchin smiled and hung up, handing the phone back to Quo. "Thank you. Um... do you have a computer? we can look up the cooking instructions..." She asked him, back to her meek self.

Quo's eyebrows rose, but his face still had the lazy look it almost always did as if he were only half interested in the odd conversation going on. He could only guess what was said, though not being good at French at all. He blinked as she handed him his phone, taking it and putting it in his back pocket again. "Yeah we do." He stated simply, gesturing to follow him. When he opened the door he heard a loud yell. "Socco wa, tandoku de Romatan o nokosu! Ima koko ni norikoeru! (Socco leave Romatan alone! Get over here now!)" Quo groaned. "Uhm....wait here." He quickly went inside, going in to see about the commotion. Everything settled down after a few seconds and Quo came back outside with a woman with black hair. "Hello! I'm Caris, you must be our dinner guest." She held her hand out, smiling brightly at Suchin. "I apologize if you heard the noise, my boys were just rough housing a little. They wont bother you though." Quo gave a nod, his face almost looking disgusted as if he were going to make sure double time that his brothers weren't going to mess with Suchin.

Suchin looked over curiously as she heard the commotion, only to giggle as a girl showed up next to Quo. "Oh... It's okay..." She said with a smile, extending her hand to shake Caris'.
((I appreciate the translation, actually. -o-))

Caris smiled, shaking Suchin's hand. "Come in, come in, Quo is probably itching to get started. I've moved the laptop into the kitchen so one of you could read directions while the other one does them." Quo rubbed the back of his head, moving out of the way so Suchin could come in. "It's this way." He said quietly.
