[ Action, Voice ] Four of Diamonds

Aug 06, 2011 18:12

[This is probably the nicest August day they've had so far. It's warm, but there's a cool breeze - and oh yeah, no monsters, Sentinels, or hordes of leprechauns. That's kind of a plus ( Read more... )

[In the library, Rogue may stumble upon Hikari by a shelf stocked with volumes of poetry. She probably looks a little bit like she doesn't know what she's doing as she examines each book's spine, extracting them at random to get a better look.

She's pretty absorbed, though.]

[Rogue probably would have just passed on by, except she is also looking for a poetry volume.]

Excuse me.

[She tilts her head, indicating that she'd like to get past.]

[action] pianissimoe August 7 2011, 19:52:06 UTC

[she steps back, clutching the book she's currently holding - a Dylan Thomas collection - to her chest]

Oh, sorry!

[action] touchofrogue August 8 2011, 02:33:04 UTC

[Rogue notes the title, but makes it a practice to mind her own business, and therefore doesn't say anything besides:] Don't worry about it.

[And she'll step carefully around Hikari to begin skimming the titles.]

[action] pianissimoe August 8 2011, 07:16:12 UTC

[She's quiet for a little while as she glances over the selected book. Then she looks up again.]

Um, do you read a lot of poetry?

[action] touchofrogue August 8 2011, 17:10:03 UTC

Not really.

[Which is a lie. Except not really, because her new standard for 'a lot of poetry' is Anne Shirley.

Hmm. Where did that Christina Rossetti get to?]

[action] pianissimoe August 9 2011, 19:42:52 UTC

Oh... Me either. I just thought I'd try something new.

[radiating awkward now. What is this...striking-up-conversation-with-someone-she's-never-met thing? internal flailing.]

[action] touchofrogue August 9 2011, 19:57:38 UTC

[...sigh.

She glances over at the other - girl? Hard to tell in this place sometimes.]

Find something ya liked?

[action] pianissimoe August 9 2011, 20:13:03 UTC

[well let's hope so...she's wearing a skirt and all. ...then again, there are some very unique people in Luceti, soooo. Vaguely gesturing to the book in her hands.]

We studied one of his poems in school this year. It was really pretty.

[action] touchofrogue August 9 2011, 23:07:05 UTC

[A friendly nod.

...but, yeah, she's not one for much smalltalk, herself.]

[action] pianissimoe August 11 2011, 05:14:54 UTC

[so clearly this is awesome. yup. Hikari will be quick to assume that she's the one failing entirely. trying to think of something else to say...]

[action] touchofrogue August 11 2011, 17:59:53 UTC

[Sorry, Hikari. There are a hundred friendly and open people in Luceti but Rogue is... not really one of them.

She finds the book that she's looking for 'Goblin Market' and stands with a pleased look on her face.]

Enjoy your book.

[action] pianissimoe August 14 2011, 04:11:52 UTC

[She tries to not look too awkward standing there, so have a smile] Y-Yes! You too.

[action] touchofrogue August 14 2011, 23:01:04 UTC

[Rogue lifts a gloved hand up in a half-wave and is on her way.

Hey, at least she knows your face now?]

[action] pianissimoe August 15 2011, 05:59:42 UTC

[She watches Rogue go and, with a small sigh, turns back to the bookshelf.

And she had been doing so well with meeting new people, too.]
