Her head rested against the wall of the shower, water running down her body as she let out a sigh. Every fiber of Grace's being was aching and sore. Grace had been training for the past few days, doing everything she possibly could of to keep herself occupied. Groaning as she got out of the shower, drying off her body and then her hair, getting ready to meet everyone at Spirited Away.
Pulling out her outfit for today, an elegant white dress with a white jacket with of course an under layer of shorts, Grace finished brushing her hair rather quickly and was out the door with her weapon strapped onto her back and her key in her jacket's pocket. Setting foot onto the busy street, Grace's movements were quick and careful to not to trip on her way there. She certainly didn't want to be the last one showing up at the café.
The sounds and sights were always the same no matter how much she was in a crowded locations. It wasn't as if she hated them, she was simply paranoid by how easy it would be for people to sneak up on her. It was irritating, to say the least. Taking a short cut every now and again, Grace would wave to the children that seemed to notice her, even stop for a brief second to say hello.
Eventually, Grace had made it to the Spirited Away café. Walking up quietly to the lady in front of her, Grace's words were brief as she looked the women dead in the eyes. "Grace Amara, table for twelve." Her tone of voice was rather blank, and so was her expression as the women seemed to quickly inform her of where to go. "Thank you, I'll be fine going myself." With that, Grace turned and slowed her pace to the group, eventually she forced the corners of her mouth into a slight smile as she came into sight.
"Good morning everyone, I hope I'm not to late, am I?" It didn't take long for her to notice the clear irritation at Ryu's smoking from a few of her fellow Spirits. "Jeez, isn't it way to early for this?" Grace sighed, her face now flat of all emotions. Trying to draw her attention to anything else as she took the empty seat next to the smoker, she questioned her own sanity for doing so. "It's nice to see everyone again... Even you, Ryu." Grace slowly turned her head to glace at the man, getting a strong whiff of the smoke as her body broke into a shiver of disgust.
"Ryu, if you need a smoke, why don't you go outside to do it? I'll even stand out there with you, just so Raine doesn't have to smell that any longer. Besides, the smell will take awhile to leave the room at this rate." Grace offered, looking over to the man as she tucked her rather bruised hands into her jacket pocket. "It'd be easier this way." It was a waste if he simply put out the cigarette anyway, after all it looked like he just now lit it. Not to mention she didn't exactly like sitting still to begin with.
