Before Skye sat she made sure to introduce herself first, and returned the quiet redhead's bow. She found it nice to meet another person who seemed to favor bowing as a form of greeting. It had been the norm in her village but not so much in Vale as it turned out. There were a lot of things to get used to here. But she was proud of herself for dealing with the crowds infinitely better than the day before. [i]Though, that's less my own accomplishment and more Luke willing to guide me through most of my day.[/i]

[b]"Thanks Bianca. I hope I can live up to everyone's expectations. [Sub]And my own...[/sub] The, ah, mask is just until I get... better. I'm a little unsightly right now.[/b] She decided it would be a good idea to get that said and out of the way first. She was pretty sure the one in red had been staring at her because of it. 

Bianca already looked much better than she had a few moments before. It seemed company really was what she needed right now, and she was very glad Ashe had suggested they come over here. There was still something nagging in the back of her mind when she looked at Bianca but that had become much quieter. [i]Not the time to wonder at such things, the fact she seems to feel better is enough.[/i] Skye smiled to herself.

She turned to Yue who had quietly approached and asked to join them. Skye quite liked the idea, especially since she was also new, and was pleased when the others welcomed her to join them. It was not that surprising, everyone here was really nice after all. Skye got no bad feelings from any of them. But she did have to introduce herself again for Yue's sake. And explain the mask again. Skye found herself looking forward to the day she could just show her face again without freaking anyone out. [i]Like wearing a mask in the first place doesn't disturb people? Fine line there.[/i]

[b]"One more for the SS Leaky Luck."[/b] She said to Ashe, making a weak attempt at a joke. Humor was not a skill she had sharpened over the past few years. [b]"I hope we can be friends, too, Yue.[/b] [i]We are human beings. We will always be stronger and happier together.[/i] She took another good look at the people all around her, finally feeling truly comfortable for the first time in a long while. [i]I don't ever want to lose this feeling. Whatever it takes, I wont let anyone down again.[/i]

Somewhere, lost in a mountain of discarded lunch trays and leftover garbage, lay a lonely scroll. It chimed and vibrated for attention but no one answered.
