[1. Phone: after school]

It's so boring studying here all by myself. It would be so much more fun if someone would join me. Especially if that person is interesting or cute. Oh, my name's Hiling and I'm in the library. I'll be waiting~

[2. Action: library][Hiling can be found with a table to herself, textbooks stacked nearby. She flips

Library

[causticat]

[Mogget hadn't actually heard the call, but he had been exploring and happened to come across the library. Wary, as he knew that libraries could be dangerous places, he padded inside... heedless of the drone librarian trying to shoo the small white cat back outside again.]

[prideinbattle]

[Hiling immediately loses interest in what she was doing to watch the cat. It's almost as if she's never seen one up close before.]

Oooh!

[causticat]

[...]

Yes?

[prideinbattle]

[That can't be a real cat... Must be a robot or something. Which is even cooler! Whatever he is, he's cute~]

Are you here to help me study?

[causticat]

No, I am here to learn myself about this place.

[He hops up onto the table nimbly and uses a paw to open one of the nearest books.]

[prideinbattle]

Not much I can tell you. I still have no idea what's going on.

[She'll let him examine her books. It's not like she was really using them anyway.]

[causticat]

[The books were useless anyway, nothing to do with Charter Magic or the Old Kingdom at all.]

Uesful, aren't you?

[prideinbattle]

What do I look like, a tour guide? I specialize in more important things.

[Nothing but math, propaganda-filled history and English.]

[causticat]

Such as?

[He leaps onto her lap as she talks, if there wasn't anything interesting to look at then he might as well get stroked while she was talking.]

[prideinbattle]

[Her eyes widen in surprise as she suddenly has a cat in her lap. She blinks down at him, but can't resist petting for long.]

I'm a soldier.

[causticat]

For which army?

[He half closes his eyes, enjoying the sensation of being petted.]

[prideinbattle]

I was an officer in the A-Laws Autonomous Peacekeeping Force. Though I suppose that doesn't mean much here.

[causticat]

Then it seems there really are other worlds.

[prideinbattle]

I guess so. I see no other explanation.

[causticat]

...A little to the left.

[The petting, he means.]

[prideinbattle]

[She pauses for a moment, and takes his suggestion.] My name's Hiling Care. What's yours?
