The shorter of the two kept this information in the back of her head as Gorilla Girl stumbled over her words. Apparently she was a sucker for a pretty face as well, Lily mused, unable to help but find her a bit... [i]cute.[/i] There was something about such a strong person stumbling over their words that made them seem so much more human and therefore so much more vulnerable-- and Lily liked vulnerability. It was her whole image, after all. [b][color=thistle]"No worries,[/color]"[/b] responded Rain Maker, her eyes lighting up at Gorilla Girl's hesitant response-- [b]"[color=thistle]I sometimes talk [i]too[/i] much, so we can balance it out.[/color]"[/b] A small smile crept up over her lips as she took two steps forward, pushing herself past the bubble of comfort people tended to have, putting her at an even step away from the taller girl. She wasn't as tall as some of the other kids in Seiryuu, and she wasn't ripped to shreds, but she had to have something, because she took on a group of students with no problem, with an added hint of morality enough to let one of them live. She was going to be Lily's new best friend. And, as her phone vibrated by her hips, her new betting champion. Switching her sledhammer to her other hand so that she both held her blanket and the weapon in one, leaving the right free, she started to introduce herself. [b]"[color=thistle]My name's Lily Li,[/color]"[/b] she started, reaching her free hand over for a Western handshake. [b]"[color=thistle]Around these parts they know me by Rain Maker cuz of my money. Though, I'd rather have something akin to Gorilla Girl[/color]"[/b]-- [i]lie[/i]-- [b]"[color=thistle]There's nothing more annoying than being known for your dad's money than your strengths[/color]"[/b]-- that was one parts true. Realizing she'd somehow started rambling all on her own and her face had started to fall a little slack, she offered her small smile once more, tilting her head. [b]"[color=thistle]You can call me Lily, no surnames necessary. What's your name?[/color]"[/b]
