She watched him with a soft smile on her face as he walked up. [b]"Hey Lily"[/b] He greeted her, tucking the tips of his fingers into his pockets and throwing her his trade mark smile. [b]"Cloud watching?...Or has it just been that sort of morning?"[/b] He asked. [color=coral]"Hello Crash."[/color] She returned, sitting up to talk to him. [color=coral]"If by that sort of morning you mean calm and relatively boring, yes. It has been."[/color] She returned, chuckling to herself. [color=coral]"What have you been up to the past few years? It's fine if you'd rather not talk about it."[/color] She asked, ever the considerate angel. [color=coral]"I've been around here, helping Maria, Criston, and Carmen get all of this set up. It's been a challenge but it looks good, doesn't it?"[/color] She continued, leaning back slightly to look at the school before them, listening to the soft buzz of students talking around. [color=coral]"Are you returning as a student? And... Did you already cause trouble?"[/color] She asked, raising a brow at the slight bruise on his butt from falling. She could sense it simply from his energy and it was helpful considering her job. [color=coral][i]Everyone's getting older but... here I am. Stuck in a freaking time-loop.[/i][/color] [@FaithsRose] [hr] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/KHcHypx.png[/img][/center] Eric watched the man eye Lucy and his brows furrowed with worry. What did he want with Lucy? Lucy seemed to notice to and stood up on Eric's shoulder and began making modeling poses for the man watching her. Eric sighed and rolled his eyes at her. [color=hotpink]"Hii!"[/color] Lucy shouted at the man, grinning. Eric huffed slightly before turning to look at the girl who seemed like she was having a hard time. Ignoring Lucy, he walked over to her and bent down to offer her his hand. He didn't speak a word but silently held out his hand for her to take, ignoring the fact that she had sunglasses on indoors. Lucy, still on Eric's shoulder, was now hanging on for dear life as Eric bent over. Her eyes went wide and she looked over at the taller man. [color=hotpink]"Care to give a tiny girl a hand?"[/color] She asked, sending him a pathetic smile, the worry that she would fall any minute still evident on her face.

She wouldn't allow him to self-depreciate himself like that. He was so much stronger than he gave himself credit for. [color=goldenrod]"Let's just say... this years orientation will be... a big hit. However, I need to round up a few... [i]helpers[/i] before then. Would you like to help me go grab Ryuu, Carmen, Lily, and Britnia? Lily will mostly be there for insurance purposes..."[/color] Maria explained, adding on that last bit last minute. She'd need to gather them up, devise and plan, and then gather everyone else in the gym. It would be.. perfect!
