[b]"Liz!!"[/b]

[color=00aeef]"Ugh..."[/color]

Just as the cool autumn breeze had bristled her hair and sent the dead leaves falling before her vision, her eyes shot open with a dismaying glower towards the source of such an obnoxious, squeaky voice.  [color=00aeef]"Herny..."[/color]  She muttered the name in a hushed tone under her breath, a bothersome sigh given afterwards with yet another exhale of smoke.  Yes, it was Henry, her (begrudgingly) lab partner.  The Asian transplant seemed to blend so well into his newfound culture, and yet, to Liz he still stuck out like...well..what else?  It was these kind of people however, the fluffy, flirty, cheery kind....that got on her ever loving nerves.

There wasn't much of a reaction at all to the dolt sliding into home base (I.E. danger close), nor to his goofy grin and his fanciful greeting of, [b]"Howdy, Pardner."[/b]  Instead, Liz just took another drag on her cigarette, exhaling with a half-hearted greeting, [color=00aeef]"Sup, Alien."[/color]  That's what she called him, simply because.  She sat with her legs curled into her chest, her head resting on her knees as she merely stared at the ground with gloom.
