Fuyuko continued to hide behind her guitar, but her ears were still keeping track of every movement and word that Ji made. When she heard him say that he was a drifter, guilt and relief flooded her veins, physically deflating as she breathed out an [color=d0bdb9]"[i]Oh my goood[/i] so that's why you don't have any luggage. I was so worried I-"[/color]

	[color=d0bdb9]"Ah!"[/color] She suddenly realized, shooting back up again in her seat. [color=d0bdb9]"T-That is, I, um..."[/color] her voice getting smaller with every word, [color=d0bdb9]"I, well, just thought that you were a burglar or something."[/color] She sank behind her guitar once more, eyes shut and trembling. Unable to bear the shame any longer, however, she quickly slid off her bed and bowed low to Ji, instrument across her chest, words rushing out of her mouth as she said, [color=d0bdb9]"I'm sorry that was wrong with me but that was why I was acting so weird because I didn't know why anyone would come here without carrying anything and I thought that you needed to know and I didn't want you to think that I was some scaredy cat who jumps at strangers and, and, and..."[/color] 

	Fuyuko quickly found herself running out of breath, still bowing but at least feeling a little bit better about herself. She also managed to straighten herself out once more and look at Ji in the eyes before having to climb up back into her bed. She crossed her legs and laid the guitar in her lap again, but this time allowing it to rest in a much more comfortable position with it in its proper playing position, her hands holding it for comfort. Once she sat down, however, she found her eyes only able to occasionally meet Ji's gaze before they flitted off to another corner of the room. [color=d0bdb9]"And yeah. I'd, um, I'd be grateful if we could just kinda forget what happened, ah, Ji."[/color]

	[color=d0bdb9]"I'm Fuyuko Wakana,"[/color] she continued, voice soft but at least trying to hold a conversational tone. [color=d0bdb9]"I'm a photographer. I'm actually here on a job because the owners asked me to do a photoshoot of their place."[/color] She wanted to make it up to Ji somehow for putting him through everything that happened since the moment he walked in, but there really wasn't much that she could offer him (or really, felt comfortable offering him), except... 

	[color=d0bdb9]"If... if you're looking for a job I  sometimes have people model in my photos, but, uh, with the weather it'd be kinda hard to find anybody right now and I was hoping to start tomorrow. Oh and, I do pay my models. If you're interested."[/color]
