Date & Time: Dec 5th (forward dated), after snow team gets back.
Location: Hallway and bunk 103, possibly other places.
Characters: Sheena (holeseeker) & Zelos (wilder)
Summary: They really need to stop reuniting like this.
Warnings: Not much. Probably tsundere slapping, but that's normal.

[Sheena is still getting settled back in after her extremely long mission, but that doesn't stop her from running down the hall when she gets the news that some people have returned. Zelos likely only had a couple hours to himself. And now she's here to ruin it. She knocks on the door, then crosses her arms. As usual she's torn between wanting to beat the snot out of Zelos and wanting to welcome him back, but that's really not that unusual either.]

Z- er, Kaneis! Are you in there? You'd better be!

[And then it all comes out in a big rush, Sheena touching her red cheeks and trying to hide them.]

And it's embarrassing! I want to be happy because this is what I wanted but what if I think it's one thing, and you think it's something else, and then we both end up confused and then-- what if we're not really together at all? What are the rules for this sort of thing? I don't know how any of this works so I just keep thinking that-- that maybe I was a bad choice for this and you could have anyone else and I just...

ROFL THAT TAG

[wilder]

[And wow that WAS one big rush of things. One that makes him seem a bit wide eyed and confused since okay what what what]

Uh.

[Okay, maybe he should try to clarify]

Are you...asking me about rules of relationships or breaking up with me?

I COULDNT RESIST

[fujibayashi]

[She stares at him like he grew an arm out of his forehead.]

W... what? No, I'm not breaking up with you--

[...]

Wait, does that mean we're actually going out?

[wilder]

[Oh good, that's a relief. But that's now followed by a pause. Well, that's a good question. He rubs the back of his neck]

I dunno...I mean I definitely haven't been with anyone else since we kissed. Haven't even tried!

So, uh, I guess so?

[fujibayashi]

[Sheena stares at him, but she's not even sure what to say. What /can/ she say?]

... Really? I thought you were supposed to be the experienced one here.

[She runs her fingers through her bangs, sighing lightly. She's not exactly exasperated, just feeling dumb for getting all worked up and emotional. But that's par for the course when it comes to dealing with Zelos.]

I guess that means... we're official now. Or something. I guess.

[wilder]

[He holds up his hands as if to show his innocence]

Not with actual relationships I'm not. Wooing, charming and the physical stuff are whole other animals to that.

[Those things don't mean anything, they were easy. Unlike right now where he feels his stomach tied up. Like he's not sure where to go]

I guess, yeah...but [he shrugs] I dunno if there's even set rules for this. Let's just...do with what we feel comfortable with, okay?

[fujibayashi]

... I really had no idea. I guess we're both new at this, then.

[She scratches at her cheek, still blushing quite fiercely.]

Then, uh, we should-- go on another date! [It's not the best time for that, but she doesn't care.] Obviously.

[And he should obviously kiss her right now, but he's just out of reach and she's just a little shy.]

[wilder]

Uh-

[He gives a chuckle; jeez she really is awkward about all this. But it's not like he isn't either]

How about we just...hang out? C'mon, it's not like we have anywhere to go on a date here anyway.

[fujibayashi]

[His laugh isn't condescending, just about as nervous as she feels. Realizing that, she lets out a little sigh and relaxes a fraction.]

... Yeah, you're right.

[At last Sheena smiles, though it does little to hide her awkwardness.]

Okay, then let's hang out. [She glances around briefly.] Does it matter where I sit?

[wilder]

Good. [he relaxes a little and returns the smile with a slight one.]

Uh...no, I don't think so. Just look out for any orange furry things before you do...or food.

[fujibayashi]

[Sheena blinks. She takes a spot on the floor, leaning against the lower bunk.]

Orange furry thing? You mean like a cat?

[wilder]

[He shrugs and moves to sit on the floor next to her]

More like a fox, actually. Just with more tails.

...And breaths fire.

[fujibayashi]

[Sheena sloowwwwly turns her head toward him, her expression incredulous.]

What.

[She's pretty sure Corrine didn't have a fire-breathing cousin but maybe she's been wrong all along.]

How did you end up with something like that?

[wilder]

[Maybe Corrine just didn't want to talk about his fire breathing relatives!! It could've been a touchy subject]

Heh...

It's a weird unbelievable story? I'm not even sure I believe it all myself.

[fujibayashi]

[She would've adopted both of them. There is no doubt.]

How weird are we talking?

[wilder]

[He considers]

...Magical castle weird?

[fujibayashi]

... Okay, you're right. That does sound pretty weird.

[She glances at how close they are. Without trying to make a big deal of it, she reaches for his hand.]

[wilder]

Told ya.

[And he notices that. Deciding to be a brat? he holds out his hand palm up for her to take so it's very obvious]

Anyway, glad to be back to this oh so lovely moonbase?

[fujibayashi]

[FFFFF. Her cheeks pinken, but she looks away and takes his hand regardless.]

Well, the view's not bad. I don't think I'll ever get used to it, though.

[It's too much like when they were in Mithos' realm. Too much like Derris-Kharlan, and just as dangerous and creepy and desolate.]

[wilder]

[He couldn't resist! But he'll let his hand be taken and hold onto hers]

Yeah?

[There's a pause before he finally decides to ask the thing that's on both of their minds]

Does it remind you of that Welgaia place?

[fujibayashi]

[She startles a little. A mind-reader as always, huh?]

... Yeah. That's exactly it.

As beautiful as it is, when I see a view like that, I can only think of how disconnected and wrong it is.

[wilder]

[ALWAYS.]

[But he was thinking it all along too. It was one of many reasons why it was impossible to get comfortable here]

Yeah...I don't think anyone's supposed be up here.

But hey, least it sounds like we can get off soon.

[fujibayashi]

Mm. [She squeezes his hand a little.]

What's it like down there?

[wilder]

[Whoa hey what is that physical affection it is strange but interesting]

Cold and snowy.

[Wait he should probably give a bit more than that]

It was sorta like Flanoir...except weirder. It's like our Exsilium never existed.

[fujibayashi]

[Basically what she's thinking right now. She's still a bit red, because wow this is embarrassing... but she kinda likes it.]

It... what? But how? You'd think if something like that happened, we would've noticed. Wouldn't it have changed us, too?
