ⅺ┆ i feel pretty...

[shrugs_a_lot]

[This wasn't happening... Oh, brother, this really wasn't happening... Please, this wasn't happening!

Dear residents, don't mind the elegant blonde wearing the striking purple dress, running barefoot from couch to couch, hiding behind them and poking her silky blonde (and a bit spiky) head out to check if there is anyone around. Her destination? The elevator!

Once she makes it there, she pushes the button desperately, hurry, hurry!]


{{Loss start; backdated to early morning today. Open to action for the lobby and inside the elevator--he's trying to reach the fifth floor so, yeah. Have fun!}}

Have you? I'm glad someone else here feels that way.

... I'm sorry, I haven't even introduced myself. My name is Hermione.

[shrugs_a_lot]

[A nod. Then pauses for a long time... Should he tell her it's him? He already lied to her about the wishes, which is was probably the reason of why he was wearing that flamboyant dress to start with...]

[courageous_wit]

[that's what you get, Cloud :| ] Well, erm... I don't want to keep you if you're busy.

[shrugs_a_lot]

I... I'm not... [Drops the high pitched voice already--recognize that voice Hermione?]

[courageous_wit]

[blinks] Do I know you?

[shrugs_a_lot]

Remember the guy that told you he didn't give a damn about wishing? [Looks at the floor, shuffles his feet a little.]

[courageous_wit]

[to her credit, she doesn't laugh at his misfortune] I remember. What would his thoughts be about it now, I wonder?

[shrugs_a_lot]

[And he appreciates that.]

I think he's sorry... Like, for real.

[courageous_wit]

[she smiles] I won't spread it around.

[shrugs_a_lot]

Thanks. [You're a good friend Hermy, good friend.]

Are you going to the ball?

[courageous_wit]

[she turned herself into a cat once; she knows the troubles of magic]

I wasn't planning on it. I don't have anyone to go with.

[shrugs_a_lot]

Is it required to go with someone?

[courageous_wit]

Balls are usually more fun if you go with someone. But no, it isn't required.

[shrugs_a_lot]

I'd go with you but... [Obvious reason is obvious.]

[courageous_wit]

Then we can both stay in.

[shrugs_a_lot]

[Nods.]

Yeah. I'll go hide in my room now. If you need anything, I'll be there. [At least for a while...]

[courageous_wit]

I'll be in the library.

[shrugs_a_lot]

Why doesn't that sound surprising? [ maybe she should go to the ball... ]

[courageous_wit]

Because that's where I usually go.

[shrugs_a_lot]

I know.

[courageous_wit]

[she just smiles at him] See? You'll always know where I am.

[shrugs_a_lot]

[Can't quite return the smile, but he gives her a little nod. Then he turns and walks away to his room. He's still a bit upset about Hinata leaving, Hermione leaving would be... No, he doesn't want to think about it.]

[courageous_wit]

[b'aww Cloud. She gives him an encouraging wave before going into the library]
