[h3]Shizuka Otonashi || Warakuma Mall || April 19 SUN[/h3] Just as Shizuka was despairing at how much difficulty she was having to retrieve the fabrics with her dark tresses being on the way of her sight, two- no, three people generously came to assist the poor "half blind" girl. She felt embarrassed to have them gather up her belongings for her but very much appreciated the help nonetheless. Just when the other female who picked up one of the fabrics shoved one person and created a domino effect of people colliding, Shizuka flinched in shock and felt slightly guilty for the people involved. While she quickly stuffed the last of her fabric back into a bag, a gentle hand placed itself upon her shoulder with a voice of concern. Her gaze averted from the plastic bag to the gorgeous, foreign female at her side, who she couldn't help but stare for a moment even if the other may not be able to tell. It wasn't Shizuka's first encounter with someone of a foreign origin but how she seemingly spoke fluent Japanese surprised her, that and she had to appreciate how attractive she was, [s]which was perfect if she ever got around to cosplaying[/s]. Snapping back to reality, the raven haired female flashed a faint smile and replied, [color=violet]"O-Oh, I'm quite alright... I-I apologize for the trouble, but thank you for your concern and I'm [i]truly[/i] grateful for your assistance. And my, you and the other gentleman have quick hands, the mess was cleaned up in such a haste."[/color] Speaking of the male who assisted her, upon closer inspection, his face felt slightly familiar... Perhaps someone from school? It wasn't everyday you'd see a foreign student in a Japanese school, which tends to make them stand out whether in a positive or negative way. Another female voice was speaking to Shizuka, to which her attention was given to. While what the other was telling her seemed like a warning, she supposed it was her way of being concerned for the apologetic girl. Taking her advice, she stood back on her feet and dusted herself before explaining, [color=violet]"Um... I-It's only polite to apologize to someone who you unintentionally bump onto, bu-but I suppose you're right. It was rather rude of her to, but accidents are prone on a day like this. I-... I'll be more careful, thank you miss."[/color]
