That is a [b]pretty pretty[/b] name. And you're a [b]huntress[/b] in training?! [b]Me too![/b] Or I will be. Tommorrow. I'm here a day early. Doesn't matter. [b]We need eachothers numbers![/b] Gonna be huntresses togetheeerr~"[/color] A slick compact mobile device appeared in her hand seemingly from nowhere, considering her outfit. She immediately started tapping away at its screen but paused to look Emerald in the eyes when she picked up on what the other girl was saying. Her expression was abruptly subdued and she looked as if she had been caught off guard, despite her clear enthusiasm for becoming best friends with Emerald. As the cat was hit with a double dose of distractions Anna looked pensive for a few seconds, completely silent and motionless for once. [i]Soul sisters? [u]Sisters[/u]. She means that, too, I'm almost certain.. yes, she's impulsive like I am but she seems so [b]honest[/b], too. I'm not just seeing what I want to see, am I? She could just be a better actor than I am, unlikely as that is...[/i] She stole a glance at Emerald, studying her face carefully. [i]No way. If there's a speck of guile in that girl may I be struck by lightning. But... Does she know what she's saying? Friends at first sight is one thing but sisters, even just in name, that's a big thing. Even for, no, especially for me. I really ought to explain me to her, and how the last person who was that close- No! NonononoNO! You keep that part to yourself, miss Valentine! Neither the time nor place for that. Just decide what you want. Really, though, I've already decided, huh?[/i] Anna nodded decisively to herself and stepped up to Emerald with a determined look on her face. She took Emerald's hands in her own and looked directly into her eyes. [Color=ffb7c5]"[b]Emmie[/b], I've never had a sister, tons of friends, yeah, but no sister, no brother, not even cousins or hot step-siblings- uh, forget that last bit. I've got a brain to mouth filter problem. Sorry, not the point. The point [b][i]is[/i][/b] this soul sister thing is serious business for me. My usual impulsiveness be damned but I just spent like [b]five whole seconds[/b] on a monologue in my head, or whatever you call that, so you can be sure I want this. Just.. understand it's kind of a big deal for me. But if you're serious about this sister thing... then this is going to be [b]AWESOME!!![/b]"[/color] Anna already half decided she knew Emerald wasn't just saying empty words and was about to make her day, no, week, no, year, nono, [i]eternity[/i], in the next moment or two. Her face flipped from serious to hopeful and excited in the blink of an eye. Then she caught sight of something out of the corner of her eye and her head snapped in that direction so fast it was a wonder she didn't break her own neck. Her jaw dropped. [Color=ffb7c5]"Is that a [b]luchadora!? You guys have luchadoras here? [/b] That is [b]so cool![/b] I wonder what her secret identity is? Do you think she'd tell me if I asked? Probably not, huh? [b]Hiiiii~[/b]"[/color] Anna waved excitedly at the newcomer and just for good measure at the girl following said luchadora, even though that one seemed to be in a mood and just wanted her hoodie back. [i]Hm, they totally know eachother, maybe she can tell me the luchadora's true identity? Naaa, I'm kinda digging the whole maiden of mystery thing here, to be honest. Besides, I'm having a serious chat with my soul-sister-to-be, I should focus on one thing at a-[/i] [Color=ffb7c5][b]"Tuna time!!"[/b][/color] [i]...haha. [b]That[/b] didn't last long, did it? Maybe I should be on meds or something.[/i] She met the super cute waiter's gaze and returned his brilliant smile with one of her own. [Color=ffb7c5][b]"Thaank yooouuu~!"[/b][/color] [i]Really I can't decide who I'm into more, our painfully cute prettyboy waiter here, the sharp looking silver devil with the knives back there, or the toned, tanned, and ruggedly handsome duo. How can I even get all their numbers?[/i] Anna shook her head, trying to clear it and force herself to focus. She turned her back to the boys and faced Emerald, intending to block out all the distractions and get back to the important matter of sisterhood. She spun around, apology already forming on her lips for Emerald. That apology morphed into a shriek as she found herself inches from an enormous [i]something[/i] with huge teeth. Reflexively she dodged backward, banging into the foodstand behind her. It took her a moment but she managed to register that the creature was just another student, and she had just caused a bit of a scene. [i][b]Jeez[/b], where did this guy even come from? How did I not notice someone [b]that big!?[/b][/i] Standing up straight again Anna looked at the giant faunus sheepishly. [Color=ffb7c5]"Haha ha, crap, I- I'm sorry. You just totally startled me, I thought you were a monster-"[/color] Anna found herself choking on her own words mid sentence. [i]Did I really just say that? Thaaat sounded really bad. Recover, recover! Use your wits, Valentine![/i] She shrugged helplessly and made a noise more akin to a squeak than an actual word. [i]...Nice save....[/i]
