Snippet #964457

It was an early start for the girl, and immediately she had started to regret it. Quin had been up half the night reading. By the time she had gotten to sleep, covers pulled safely over her head, she had been woken up by a roommate's upchucking. Though it took her some time to fully stir from her half-awake state, Quin had finally kicked her blankets off and disengaged her contractible wall. A glance at the clock confirmed it. 5:00 am.

After a hot shower and putting on a fresh face, she could sigh in relief. Make up was done in a light, natural tone, soft brown locks curled and put into a ponytail with a white ribbon. Chandelier earrangs hung from her earlobes in a faded gold pattern, a gold bracelet with ballerina figurines dangling from her left wrist. Wit that, she deemed herself complete, coveralls smoothed on with a sigh of distate. Grabbing up the last lilly she had picked before boarding the ship from her bag, she was content to quietly slip free from the room and trek for the library once more.

By the time she had finished her search on illnesses, the buzzer was going off for breakfast. Though Quintessence's gait was fair from hurried as she strode back down the hall, once again fingering the lilly as she thought. It didn't stop her from sparing smiles, but her expression did brighten once she caught sight of her roommates and the one in question -- Sophie Delcambre. Mumbling an "Excuse me," as she skirted past mister tall, dark and handsome, her grip seized on the middle girl. "Sophie, right? I'm your other roommate, Quintessence Llelwyn. You can call me Quin, but I noticed your condition early this morning. I think I can be of some help, being a caretaker and all."
