[i][b] – Kathy [/b][/i]

[b]“I’m Liam Ross, I have died a few months ago nice to meet you.”[/b]

Kathy shook the girl’s hand, tilting her head slightly to the side in a quizzical manner. “That’s… Quite an event it must have been.” Oddly enough, it wasn’t the actual announcement of the fact that Liam was dead that made Kathy uncomfortable, but rather the way the girl told them about her own death. [i]‘She’s still here with us and all…’[/i] She thought, [i]‘But is dying something that easy to talk about?’[/i]

As they all began to move towards the building, she caught up to them and stopped them for a second. Giving them an apologetic smile she said, “Ah, sorry but I actually need to go somewhere now. It was nice to meet you Liam.” Then she turned to Little Feather and Lion. “Bye Little Feather, next time let’s go somewhere we can both enjoy to the fullest. And thanks for accompanying me for so long Lion.” Giving Lion a pat on the head, she stopped for a moment with a thoughtful expression. Making up her mind, she went to Little Feather and gave her a light flick on the forehead with her uninjured hand. Smiling she whispered, “And don’t worry about your clothes silly. If it bothers you then we can go shopping together sometime, but I didn’t say anything about it right? It suits you.” Beginning to walk backwards she waved them all good-bye. “Bye, I’m sure we’ll run into each other again sometime.”

Before going to Zivon’s place for dinner, she needed to drop by the bookstore for a few supplies. In reality she would have liked to enter the infirmary and ask if she could get some for free but… Kathy shuddered slightly at the memory of Kiwi’s last smile. She was [i]not[/i] going back there so long as she could help it. Entering the Athalia Bookstore, she roamed the shelves until she found what she was looking for: a first-aid kit and some nitrile gloves. After paying for the goods, she began to walk back to the dormitories with a smile on her face. She was definitely looking forward to the dinner gathering.

[b][i] – Leroy [/i][/b]

As Seven grabbed his hand, Leroy thought it was a pity he hadn’t ‘accidentally’ gotten some ink on his hand while painting. It would have been a good chance to experiment with his ability on Seven without arousing the slightest suspicion. Besides, he was in a good mood. It wasn’t as though he would give anyone a ‘bad’ emotion to feel at the moment, what was the harm in that?

[b]”I don’t… Look like I’m fading…”[/b] Dani answered, seeming confused by his statement. At the same time, Dani had returned back to normal and lost the translucency he had pointed out. “Huh, odd.” Leroy said, looking thoughtful. “Ah well, don’t worry about it. You seem to be back to normal now.”

As Dani commented on the hour, Leroy also looked at the clock then out the window. “Woah, yeah, I didn’t even notice how late it was. I ended up skipping lunch without even noticing.” He actually didn’t mind skipping a meal or two, but even he understood that it was probably bad to keep his stomach empty for so long. “I’m gonna drop my stuff off before going for dinner. Maybe I’ll catch you guys later in the cafeteria?”
