2nd sin

How much do you know about my brother...from before he came here? 

[Action otherwise.] 

[<small> Sara had been more or less avoiding the network over the past few weeks, trying to sort out her own feelings, but today at least, she'd ventured out into the city to try and clear her mind. At the moment, she's sitting on the edge of the fountain, just watching people. </small>]

Not a whole lot. Why?

[glass_not_ruby]

I just wondered if he'd told you anything.

It's nothing, resllu.

Re: private

[charring]

You sure?

[Which, honestly? She gets. She doesn't tell many a whole lot, either.]

You okay?

Re: private

[glass_not_ruby]

I've just...had a lot on my mind lately, but I'm okay, really.

Re: private

[charring]

I hear animals are a good distraction. Come over?

Re: private

[glass_not_ruby]

Oh...would you mind? I think I'd like that.

Re: private

[charring]

I wouldn't mind at all. I'll be home in about an hour? I'll make food. Just ask your brother if I'm good at cooking.

[And from a few rooftops over, Setsuna had sat, curled up, watching Sara watch people, until finally, he got bored of it. There was only so much of that he could do.]

[After a bit he flew down, wings still out, folded behind him, and approached her.]

Are they really that interesting?

[glass_not_ruby]

...Oniichan.

[ Sara didn't move, but she at least gave him a smile. ]

I just felt like sitting here, really. Do... is everything okay?

[beyourarmy]

[He smiled, only for a moment, before looking rather confused. Okay...on what level? Too much going on behind his ability to live in the here and now.]

Huh? What do you mean?

[glass_not_ruby]

...Nothing, it was just a question.

[ She shifted to stand after a moment. ]

[beyourarmy]

[He felt a little bad, after, as he had intended to answer her, just wasn't sure where to direct the answer.]

I just meant what you might be referring to, because there's a lot of stuff....

Does it have to do with you?

[glass_not_ruby]

I know we haven't really talked much since...well...

[ Since she'd arrived really. ]

Is... was that why you kept avoiding spending time with me at home? I mean...what you told me...although...

This probably isn't the place to talk about that though.

[beyourarmy]

What do you mean avoiding? If I'm doing it, I'm not doing it on purpose.

And...it's fine. It's good as any other place. Would you rather stop at a cafe and get something to drink while we talk?

[sympathyforme]

How're you doing, Mudou-san?

[He's not stalking her the way he does Setsuna, but he still tries to keep a eye on her, for obvious reasons. And if she needs people talking to her, perhaps he can manage to mak her forget about the devil thing enough to fulfill that function for a while.]

Re: action;

[glass_not_ruby]

Ah..Kira-senpai.

I'm...okay. I mean, it..

[ Awkward is awkward.]

I've just been trying to figure things out...

action;

[sympathyforme]

And what are you figuring?

[He is watching her from the side, not looking away even as he takesa cigarette out and lights it.]

[standing_alone]

[He can't pass a lonely girl up, though he might be a bit intimidating.]

Hey, there. You alright?

Re: [Action]

[glass_not_ruby]

Oh, er, yes. I'm fine, really.

I...don't think we've met?

[Action]

[standing_alone]

We haven't. I haven't met many people. [He should probably explain why.] I'm new.

Re: [Action]

[glass_not_ruby]

I've only been here about a month myself.

I'm Sara Mudou.

[Action]

[standing_alone]

I haven't even been here a day myself. [Cautiously, he sits beside her, buster sword and all.] Nice to meet you, Sara. I'm Zack Fair.

Re: [Action]

[glass_not_ruby]

It's nice to meet you too, Zack-san.

[ She shifted sideways a little to make more room, gaze drawn to the sword he had on his back./small>]

[Gazelle always walks by the fountain around this time to head toward the ice cream shop for a little treat. She notices Sara though and even remembers her a little! Curious as to why the other girl was people-watching with a face she thought was a little sad, she stops a foot a way from her. Still unable to talk because of some trade (at least until the end of today!), she pulls out her device and types in something before holding it out for Sara to see.]

[why are you just sitting here?]

[haring_to_go]

[ and the fountain is Liam's favorite place to visit, all things considered, because it's simply the most common place new residents fell into (sometimes literally) upon their arrival.

It's a needle in a haystack, but Liam's hopes spring ever eternal.

Sitting down next to her to eat his breakfast of bagel and cream cheese, he nods to Sara. ]

Good morning. [ it's just a pleasantry, but since they were sharing the same perch, it was merely polite. ]
