[b][i] – Kathy[/i][/b]

[b]“Don’t laugh”[/b] Crash told her, which of course made Kathy want to laugh even more. “I’ll try but… No promises.” She let out a few light chuckles, but overall did quite well in keeping the noise level down in the hallway. Hearing the offer to go inside to wait, she hesitated for a moment. [i]‘Just go in. He made the offer, so there’s no reason to refuse.’[/i] Scolding herself, she continued inside. Noting the number on the door as she passed. [i]‘113…’[/i]

Accepting the cream, she smiled in return to his sheepish grin. “Thanks. I actually bought a first-aid kit just before coming here but… I didn’t really get a chance to see everything inside of it yet. I’m sure Oona and Zivon will find this useful.” Reaching up, she gave him a pat well-done on the head. Noting it was faintly damp. “Good thing it was tea. Something like juice would’ve been a lot more troublesome to get out of hair.” Lifting her hand away, she let him go back into his bedroom to get changed. She leaned against the wall opposite of the door as she waited.

She felt another smile come to her face when she heard Crash say her name and state, [b]"Please don't take offense to this, but it's crossed my mind how little I actually know about you..."[/b] Laughing she reassured him, “Don’t worry, it’s not offensive at all.” In her thoughts she continued, [i]‘In fact, the same thought crossed my mind earlier today.’[/i] “As for where I’m from, um…” Kathy had to think about this a little. “Kind of here and there really. We moved every so often because of my dad’s job. A couple of times we even crossed borders into other countries.” She left out her own part in why they had to relocate every so often. More depressing talk could come later or, better yet, never if she could help it. “What about you?”

Catching sight of some movement, her eyes reflexively went to the small space created from leaving the door ajar. Feeling another blush rising up to her cheeks, she took a big step to the side so she couldn’t see inside the room anymore. [i]‘I didn’t see anything..! Er, I might have. A bit. But I moved away really quickly and it’s not like it’s my first time seeing a guy’s bare back and…!!’[/i] She stopped thinking. She was obviously making herself even more embarrassed. “U-Um,” Trying to distract herself Kathy stammered out, “B-By the way, I didn’t really get a chance to ask… Do you prefer being called by your nickname instead of ‘Caleb’?”

[b][i] – Leroy[/i][/b]

Wrinkling his nose slightly at the mess on the floor, Leroy took a step back to make sure he didn’t step in it. He turned to one that punched Seven and opened his mouth to say something when realized that he recognized the guy. “Oh, wait! I’ve seen you before.” He had been so distracted by Seven and the green tux that he hadn’t gotten a good look at his face until then. “Back at the Student Center, remember? Did you manage to find out about what happened to that girl?”

Turning back to Seven he told him, “I’ll get you a glass of water.” Moving back to the table, he lifted his tray up. About a third of his chicken was left and his cake was completely untouched, but he had lost all his appetite now. Thinking of throwing the food away on his way to get water, he looked at the purple-haired guy still at the table and asked, “Hey, how’d you do that? Wasn’t your tux green just a moment ago?”
