"I'm not the best person period." A piercing magenta eye studied his features as he said those words, taking in his expression and pose. “You keep thinking that…..”,she said with a pitying sigh, patting his shoulder,”But if you continue, one of these days its going to become true.” Maya’s never failing optimism shined brightly at the young man, trying to get him to see what she saw. Even though some would see it as naive to assume that such a man as Silas was kind and decent, the petite brunette would disagree, believing it to be only a misunderstanding. She had grown up around her father and his former henchmen, societies outcasts, people who had been misunderstood because of appearances and assumptions. The ex-Yakuza thugs treated her like a little sister, taking care of her and even reading her stories when she was little. She remembered when all of them had show up to her middle school choir recital, cheering loudly for her to do her best before she even got out on stage. All people were truly good at heart to her, no matter what others would try to say. “Don’t worry though, I’ll make sure that doesn’t happen” A small giggle escaped her pale pink lips as she watched his facial expression, he was so cocky and smug though it seemed like more of a crutch to her.

Twirling around in a circle of happiness she quickly stopped, spotting a pair of brown eyes looking at both of them (Jack) . A light rouge tinted the tops of her cheeks before she quickly turned around, her long skirt flaring slightly at the bottom to reveal her bandaged left leg. Why was he looking, why was he looking?! That lazy louse had been watching her! Not wanting to loose her cool, she glanced down at the floor and took a few deep breaths. When she raised her head, her face had its normal pallor and she was smiling. “So, are you going to tell me something about yourself other than the lie that you not a good person?”

“Excuse me! B-but does anyone have a band aid or piece of cloth I could use for my head?” Glancing over at said injured, she quickly reached into her shoulder back and pulled out a small first aid kit. “C’mon Silas! We’re going to make more friends” ,grabbing him by his hand she half dragged him over to the injured girl and the small group that had formed around her."Heya",she greeted,"It seems we have a similar problem." Lifting her long skirt up to her knee, she revealed her pale bandaged legs, caused by a boiling water accident from that morning. “Nice, a cloth always works in a pinch”, she said, smiling at Tomoyo and opening the plastic pox. She pulled out a small roll of bandages and some disinfectant, quickly handing them to the blonde male (Bishop). “It seems you would want to do the honors, after all the guys who help girls are usually the ones they're nicest to.”
