Snippet #2231860

Ryu Hitara

He startled as the girl walked in, and jumped even further when she walked right up to him and handed him a piece of paper. He was so overly joyous that he brushed aside the paper, dropped the book he'd picked up and hopped up in front of her. His eyes lowered as he stood to his full height, almost towering over the slender girl who looked almost intimidated by him. He gave his best smile and brushed one hand through his hair as the other hand took hers gently.

"Adeliade! I didn't think you were coming! Man, I thought I came here late because I was chatting with Takashi so much that I thought I missed you entirely. Then I thought that you were going to be late, and then I thought that maybe something had happened to you on your way over here. I'm so glad that you're safe though, I was just about ready to run out of here and look for you. First day on the job and I thought I lost my pageling. Man, I would have been talk of the order for some time if anyone ever found out about that," Ryu's eyes widened slightly as he looked down at her then he laughed nervously, "Oh man, I got ahead of myself. My names Ryu, it's so nice to meet you finally! If you ever need anything, let me know, alright?"

He smiled brightly at her, stopping to take a breath (which even he sometimes forgot to do...).

Takashi Inevera

Her sharp gaze spotted the young man as he came out of the trees just kitty corner to the park. She figured he was there as it was a spot he was known to frequent a lot. Probably because of the forest area right next to it. He was a pageling of adventure, so anything that spoke of danger and mystery he was bound to be attracted to. Which was just wonderful for Takashi. Not only was he the adventurous type, but that probably also meant he was going to be very hard to keep track of. The young man jumped up on the edge of the fountain and splashed water all over his face.

The glittering jewels of liquid slowly slid down his sharp features and dripped from his chin down his front. The white shirt he wore was unbuttoned showing more than enough of his skin underneath. Takashi took a deep breath and redirected her gaze to the book she held and pretended to ignore his presence. All the while from the corner of her vision, she watched him carefully in case he made any notion of leaving the park. Setting his pack down, he sat and ate, his gaze wandering the area until it landed on her and stayed.

Takashi gave an inward sigh, looked up and met the boys gaze. She held his stare firmly for some time before rolling her eyes and scoffing at his bold attention. Reaching up, she ran one hand through her red hair that was held up in pig-tails. Tossing the long strands over her shoulder, she returned her attention to the book, or seemingly did so. She wasn't about to get up and introduce herself, too many memories rushed back to her as she thought about it. Mentally shaking herself, Takashi watched the boy from the corner of her eye, all the while keeping a scowl on her face from his staring.
