[center][b]Lily[/b] - Going to Elevator[/center]

[b]"Oh, sure thing."[/b] He replied and moved towards the door and opened it for her. [b]"Seems we found it. Ladies first..."[/b] He continued and motioned for her to go ahead of him. She sent him a warm smile and walked ahead of him, walking over to the elevator door. She pushed the button and when the doors opened stepped inside. When they were both inside, she pressed the top floor button and began to wait. 

[i]I should start up conversation... Gah... It was never this hard before...[/i]

She stared down at the floor for a moment before looking up at Bael again. [b]"Are you planning on going to the party later tonight? I, personally, hadn't planned to but... I might... change my mind."[/b] She asked, looking up at him, eying him expectantly. [b]"I haven't had a reason to dress up in a long time."[/b] She continued, turning and facing the doors, her cheeks growing hot. 

[i]What am I doing?[/i]

She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. [b]"I really... I really do want to go... It's just... been a long time since I'd had any friends and... so many people all at once. I don't know. I do want to go..."[/b] She continued, taking a deep breath. She lifted her head and looked back up at Bael, her eyes bright and shining, a warm smile on her face. [b]"I hope I can consider you a friend. My first new friend since a very very long time."[/b] She asked him, her voice soft and fluid.

[b]"Hi."[/b] Criston replied, smiling down at the kid. [b]"Looking for something? New here?"[/b] He asked, his eyes wide and his smile wider. He walked around the kid and looked at the rooms around them. [b]"Looking for your classes? What are you taking? I'm... just curious, making conversation."[/b] He asked and looked back at the boy. He walked over to a wall and leaned against it, waiting for the boy to reply. [b]"I'm Criston, by the way. Feel free to find me if you have any questions about the school."[/b] He told the boy, smiling warmly down at him.
