[ghostling]

Date & Time: 1/4; afternoon
Location: Around the Hold
Characters: Ghost and ANYONE
Summary: Ghost is out and about, mostly sulking and trying to avoid people.
Warnings: Uh, depends on who shows up?

[Since the whole deal with Koltira, Ghost has mostly been holed up in her room. She's barely left it. But even she gets a little stir-crazy so she decided to go for a walk. A task easier said than done given the damaged state of her helmet. With it no longer functioning properly she couldn't wear it. Not wearing it means people will know what she looks like. What she sounds like.

That definitely leaves the Network out of question. At least in person she can give a false name. There's only two people, aside from maybe her roommates, that know what she really looks and sounds like.

She's completely bundled up, arms and hands completely covered. Her face mostly hidden behind a scarf and the shadow of her hood. It would have to do. Although the faint glow of her eyes wasn't hard to miss.

For the most part she's just out trying to get some "fresh" air while avoiding as many people as possible. Although avoiding people isn't easy. Eventually she settles down on a bench in what she assumes passes for a park. At least the pastime of people watching never goes out of style.]

Comments

[ghostling]

Well avoidance does mean no' actually talkin' to anyone. But I guess if I was really tryin' to avoid people I would gone somewhere more remote.

[strategic_guile]

True, unless you were hoping glaring would warn them off. [And by them he meant him. He's got an easy smile on his face anyway.] It works sometimes.

[ghostling]

Somehow I don' think it'd work so well on the likes o' you. [Beneath her scarf she grins a bit.]

[strategic_guile]

No, usually not, but feel free to try.

[ghostling]

I don' see much of a point in tryin' if it ain' gonna work. Waste of energy, don' y'think?

[strategic_guile]

Hmm, I dunno. I'd like to see more of your eyes, even if you're staring me down. [And he lifts his cup to drink the last bit out of it.]

[ghostling]

You'd like t'see more of my freaky eyes? [She turned to look at him, one brow raised. Although it was hard to tell what her expression was beneath the hood.]

[strategic_guile]

[He does indeed look her right in the eye.] Yes.

[ghostling]

[Okay, most people look away quickly after looking her in the eye so this is different. She just kind of stares back in silence because now she doesn't know what to say.]

[strategic_guile]

[He stares back at her a while, and he's observing her reaction, before his smile notches up a bit and he breaks contact to look down at what he was doing. He twists the top back onto his thermos.] They're unusual, but they're also beautiful.

[ghostling]

[Ghost snorts, rolling her eyes and she turns away.]

[strategic_guile]

[He just laughs.] It was good to meet you, Ciara. I'll let you sit in peace now.

[ghostling]

[She glances over at him before nodding.] Yeah, sure.
