Vivii had been content to stare at the toes of her Nike's for the duration of the trip, her finches cooing softly in her ear as she rested. However, when Laila introduced them and Niall spoke she glanced up briefly through her lashes. She gave a soft subtle nod as she looked at him, blue eyes darting back to the floor. It was when the other man actually spoke that her head jerked up, telling her they wouldn't be friends of any sort. Then he said he was joking, she scrunched her nose softly with confusion in her wide blue eyes. She'd always known that she was painfully easy to read, other people were a different story though. She sunk her gaze to the floor again, praying to every God and Goddess she could come up with that the ride would be short and she could find somewhere to hide with her new dragon and her finches.
The ride, much to her dismay, drug on for what seemed to be an eternity as she fidgeted nervously. She couldn't imagine why everyone disliked her so plainly, just before the doors opened the same guy who had said he didn't want to be friends then laughed and claimed to be joking suggested they all meet up. "
I, uh, I don't think I'll be, um, coming along." Vivii stammered nervously, hoping they wouldn't require a reason from her. As soon as the doors opened she shot past them, only pausing to open the door to the apartment she would be sharing with someone who she wasn't sure even cared that she existed. Laila was close behind her, galloping behind her to keep up.
The apartment was luxurious, like a penthouse suite. A full kitchen inside just past the living room and one bedroom on each end of the place. She darted instinctively to the left, the direction of her own bedroom in her previous apartment. She jerked the door open only to find it was filled with things that didn't belong to her. Letting out a low groan she headed quickly for the other end of the apartment, hoping she wouldn't be caught before she hid in her room behind a locked door. Her anxiety, keeping her in a near panic as she moved, blue eyes wide. "
I'll just hide until he leaves then find somewhere to get something to drink." She muttered quietly as she moved through the apartment, graceful even in her panicked state.
Niall was quite startled when the other guy had started laughing Niall gave him a bit of a look. It was his comment to the tiny blonde that really got to him though, could the guy not tell she was horribly nervous? It irked him a bit but he brushed it off initially. At least until the girl; Vivii, as the dragon had introduced her, darted out around him. She was practically running, moving as quickly as her legs would carry them away from her. He briefly considered stopping her, reaching out and grabbing one of her tiny wrists but he didn't want to frighten her even worse. He simply shook his head as he watched her flee.
"
I'm not opposed to the idea. I would suggest being a little more careful about your word choices around her though. Especially if you want her to actually like you, just speaking from experience." Niall chose his words carefully, attempting to offer just friendly advice and not sound like he was giving orders as he was so used to doing. He offered up a smile, hoping that the other man would understand his intention.
He headed in the direction of his own room, or apartment rather. It had been an incredibly long time since he had lived in anything smaller than a large home, especially with someone else in the immediate vicinity. It made him cringe slight as he opened the door, hoping this went well. The inside was modern and though all the furniture was luxury and high quality as he was used to it was minimalist in style. He quickly found his room, Allaire following behind him as he looked around the place briefly before heading back out into the hallway to wait for Storm. He was pretty sure the petite blonde wouldn't be coming along with them.
