[Color=ffb7c5][Center][h3]Annabelle Valentine[/h3][/center][/color] [Color=ffb7c5][Center][B][h1]![/h1][/b][/center][/color] [i]Oooooh 'Bella... He's not easy at all! Damn! I wasn't really paying attention. He tossed the ball right back at me and I totally missed it! This is... [b]This is going to be so much fun!!![/b][/i] This Gren guy was playing it pretty close to the chest, even after she knew he had seen, well, more than she had meant to show off. She carefully considered a few possibilities, staying in character and letting relief show on her face. [i]Hmmmm, obvious problem: playing the shy moe girl in this outfit is not going to make sense to anyone who takes a moment to think about it. Though I do have ways to address that, right now that's just gonna seem strange.[/i] She looked back at her waiter and smiled, calming down the blush on her face. [Color=ffb7c5]"Thank you very much! You guys are pretty amazing!"[/color] She meant it, too. While it was pretty easy to impress her these senior huntsmen had skills to back up their general hotness. [I]Duh. They are [b]senior huntsmen.[/b] Now problem two: Might be coming on too strong or not strong enough by Gren's standards. Unfortunately all I can do is pay attention and fine tune my approach. Probably not being too subtle, though. He did drop that innuendo.[/I] She heard Emerald call out to her to come and eat together like the sisters they now were. She giggled but at the same time realized balancing her mission to screw with Gren and honestly getting to know Emerald might be another wrench in the works. [Color=ffb7c5]"I'll be right there!"[/color] Hm. It seemed like Gren and Emerald knew each other. [i]Craaap, am I screwing with one of my new sister's friends? Better tread carefully just in case.[/i] She looked at Gren but didn't meet his eyes. [Color=ffb7c5]"G-go on ahead. I'll catch up." [/color] She flicked her credit card out from her wrist strap then mentally cringed a little. [i]Shy, awkward girls do not do smooth card tricks. I hope he didn't see that. There's problem four if he did...[/i] [Color=ffb7c5]"Excuse me, but may I add one of those to my order?"[/color] She addressed Shuai and pointed towards what looked like.. a sandwich making deal? She felt like she should know what that was called but it wasn't coming to mind. She smiled at the sandwich(?) master and moved a bit closer in his direction. The guy with the shiny cyborg arm had caught her eye again, too, and she was trying to decide how to approach him. The game she was already playing with Gren didn't leave a lot of time for having fun with him, as well [i]Guess I have to just be straightforward and honest about this. Bummer...[/i] [Color=ffb7c5]"Ummm.. I know this is coming out of the blue but.. can we talk about your arm sometime? I'm a big nerd when it comes to robotics and cybernetics."[/color] From her other wrist strap she produced something like a business card. Her mother had forbidden her from actually getting involved in anything as serious as an actual business, claiming Annabelle needed to learn how to be more responsible and mature. [i]Whatever that means. I'm plenty mature and responsible. When I want to be.[/i] [Color=ffb7c5]"I know you're probably really busy, but if you don't mind helping out a freshman, here's my number."[/color] She turned to the other hottie, the one the more exotic outfit and dark hair. [Color=ffb7c5]"And may I have one of your creations however it's traditionally made, please?"[/color] [i]OK, that should do for now. Hopefully my efforts here will bear fruit, however minor those efforts may be.[/i] She gave them both a bright smile before returning to Shuai to collect her card and her tuna. [i]Hmmm. I did mean to literally buy all the tuna but.. that's probably a bad idea now that I think about it.[/i] With one final thank you she excused herself to go join Emerald and Gren. [i]Problem five: The whole game is pointless if Gren is gay. Though, that would be hot in its own way... And there are ways to test that theory.[/i] She sat down next to Emerald and looked between the two of them. [Color=ffb7c5]"So you two already know each other?"[/color] She dipped some of her own tuna and tried a bite while she waited for a response. [i]Wow, that is good sauce...[/i]
