Evangeline was just standing there, testing the pillows.  Oh how soft.  Still, she listened to the proposition for the contest...  At first she seemed excited about it but then she thought about it.  Floofel though probably--  [b]"Apologies, but I cannot take part in this competition.  The only one I will hug is miss Evangeline after all."[/b]  She gave a soft curtsy as she turned around to return to her duties.  

[color=00FA9A]"Ahehe... That's how it is...  Anyhow, no hogging! I want a Bailey hug too!"[/color]  She said, jumping up and down a bit.  [color=00FA9A]"Though..."[/color]  She muttered.  Her eyes went over to her sister and she made a jumping hug into the girl.  [color=00FA9A]"I'm testing everyone!"[/color]  And her first target was her big sister!

[b][center][h3]Tiana and Pela[/h3][/center][/b]

It’s been a while since school started and Pela was still a bit suspicious of her new “roommates” as they were called.  [color=B8860B]”Ooohh, Chobo.  The nervousness is getting to me.  I should speak to my “roommates” but… It’s so…”[/color]  Pela was bemoaning her current situation, knowing that today she should at some time leave the dorm to go out and eat real food.  

The bird looked at her, [b]”Kweh.”[/b]  

[color=B8860B]”But Chobo… What if they want to do something to me?!”[/color]  She exclaimed at the bird, being rather loud.  [color=B8860B]”No… You’re right.”[/color] She added, her stomach growling at the two of them.  [color=B8860B]”Why does this human body act against me.”[/color]  She was obviously had an accent one could easily tell but only if they could get her to talk for more that a couple of words.  [color=B8860B]”Alright, Chobo…. We’ll take steps outside now…”[/color]

The giant bird started to walk to the door and Pela followed behind with her hand on the bird’s back.  Chobo somehow learned to open doors and let itself out of Pela’s room with the girl right behind it.  She peeked out of the doorway to see if anyone was around.

“Oh, hello there.”

Without any warning whatsoever, Tania was standing there, right out of sight from the girl.

“Going out?” she asked with her usual smile. “What a coincidence. I was just about to leave as well.”

[color=B8860B]”Uwa!?”[/color]  The dark skinned girl cried out as she was surprised.  Where? How?  She wondered.  Her head hit the wall as she reeled back from her surprise.  As if that had no real effect, she quickly ran behind her bird.  [color=B8860B]”Leave? No! No… Leave no.”[/color] She muttered, grabbing into Chobo’s feathers.  Chobo for his part practically sighed.  [color=B8860B]”There is no the going out here!”[/color]  She continued doing her part to stay out of sight and keep this other girl out of her vision.

Tania’s smile transformed into an amused one as she witnessed the dark-skinned girl going all panicky over her presence. She already knew very well that her roommate was the really shy type. They barely ever spoke to each other.

She couldn’t help but find her attitude to be… [i]adorable[/i], to put it bluntly.

“Oh, so you’re not going out? Then why are you standing there, blocking the way for other students who’re going in and out?” She continued to drill her.

Pela had not expected this line of questioning.  Or rather… Was this a test?  If she answered wrong was she to have a terrible fate?  [color=B8860B]”Being question?”[/color]  She foolishly answered.  Her eyes never even left from Chobo’s golden feathers.  [color=B8860B]”No! That is to mean! Umm.  I… Not meaning to be nuisance as it is called?”[/color]  Her voice was quivering.  [color=B8860B]”Do not mind this one and be along way!”[/color]

“Well, I would be on my way, if not for the fact that you’re blocking the path I need to take,” Tania remarked with a light grin. “I need to take some things from my room before I go out, you know.”

Pela for the first time looked over the back of her bird companion, the color under her blue eyes a bit of a blush.  [color=B8860B]”Grab them.”[/color]  The girl added, pulled on Chobo so he would waddle over as close to the wall as possible.  [color=B8860B]”Room past Chobo now.  Fine to walk past, more room than enough.”[/color]  The biggest change now was that her slightly worried and watery eyes were available to see.  A step in the right direction perhaps. [color=B8860B]”Even with goods.”[/color]

“Thank you very much, [b]Pela[/b].” She put an emphasis on her name as she walked through. “I’ll be sure to remember you for this [i]generous[/i] action of yours,” she said with a smirk. “Now, if you will excuse me…”

Pela would be able to smell the sweet and alluring scent she (or, to be more exact, the butterflies flying all around her) was emitting as she went past her.

As Tiana passed by, Pela gripped into Chobo’s feathers… Though perhaps a little too hard as the bird “KWEH”ed and ran forward.  It pulled Pela with her until her grip faded and she let go.  In his haste to get away from the pain, he ran into Tiana and knocked the two into each other.  [color=B8860B]”Uwawawawa!”[/color] Pela was panicked.  Touching.  Touching… Touch…  [color=B8860B]”Much apologies!”[/color] She exclaimed as she backed off of her roommate, smelling the sweet scent off Tiana.  Her eyes were looking anywhere but Tiana’s face, though they quickly examined her hands and feet in a defensive sort of way.

"Kyah!"

Pela's sudden movement took Tiana by surprise. As the other girl pushed her, she immediately lost her balance, causing her to fall flat on her butt.

"Hyah!"

She yelped when she felt a pair of hands grabbing her chest. Thankfully, said hands were quickly withdrawn,  followed by their owner profusely apologizing afterwards.

"...You clumsy oaf. Urgh, you make my butt hurt. You're heavier than you look."

She picked herself up, dusting her dress in the process.

"And you groped my breasts as well. You should be glad you're a girl or I could file for sexual harassment." She lectured her, putting on a (fake) stern expression.

"So, how would you repay this little act of transgression of yours, hmm?" she asked her with crossed arms. She gave a glance towards her bird familiar. "How about you give him to me? I can use him for my experiments," she asked with a smirk.

Pela took note of how bad this “sexual harassment” sounded.  [color=B8860B]”I not understand ‘sexual harassment’ or ‘file for’.  Groping breasts is but skinship for Oak tribe.”[/color]  Her tone seemed a bit angrier than before though,  [color=B8860B]”And you no take Chobo!  Chobo is my friend!”[/color]  Despite her tone, she wasn’t looking Tania is the eyes and was still averted.  This time however to the aforementioned breasts before looking away elsewhere.

"Oh, that's right. You're not from the civilized part of the world. Of course you wouldn't know of such a thing. Allow me to apologize." She gave a slight bow. "I wonder what else you don't know about. You're Virtuoso already, correct? So you should already be used to our customs here." She eyed her up and down. "For example… underwear. I know some other tribes like yours don't usually wear them. How shameless," she added with a smirk.

Pela was still a bit angry so she spoke out.  [color=B8860B]”How rude you are.  The Oak Tribe has had undergarments since before we met the first traveler.”[/color]  It was about that time however that she realized a couple of things.  First, she had been talking with this girl… Second… Soft.   She opened and closed her hand to remember the feeling before realizing once again that she had been talking back to this “civilized” person.  [color=B8860B]”I, umm, apologies…”[/color]  She said, nervously playing with her hands as she apologized.

“Really?” Tania replied. “I suppose I would just have to take your word on it,” she conceded, though her smile seemed to suggest otherwise. 

“As for your apology, I suppose I could take it for now. But I expect to be given a favor when I need it from you. Good day.”

And with that, she left the other girl behind, walking back towards her own room with her usual relaxed, yet regal gait.

[i]She was certainly an amusing one, I had to admit…[/i]

When Tania walked to her room, Pela rushed over to Chobo, grabbed him and walked out of the dorm room.  She was very flustered right now and wasn’t quite sure what to make of the situation she just encountered.  [color=B8860B]”Chobo, food, yes?”[/color]
