Dining Hall

[isur2ndprincess]

[Yuki is in the dining hall with the rule book in front of her and a plate of food on her left. On her right is a note book where she is diligently taking notes.]

[Your name is in the book. She has a list of the players, weapons, playerless weapons, battles, outcomes, stats, everything she could possibly need in the future. Don't be creeped out, it's necessary]

[mumbling] I don't understand...

[Gino was originally just passing through, but when he spots Yuki sitting across the hall, he reverses direction, into the self-service area, and emerges again with two glasses of orange juice.

Which he then takes over to her table, like the spoils of war, taking care to be obvious in his approach instead of heading there from an angle she can't spot him from.]

Yo. Peace offering? [holds out the glass slightly more full of juice. Shut up it's the only thing he could find on short notice.]

[isur2ndprincess]

[Yuki sees him enter the room and get a glass of juice, but she doesn't think that he's going to come over to her]

[but then he does]

[She hesitantly offers him a smile and takes the glass. By now she knows that Gino won't hurt her, but that doesn't mean she isn't still a bit wary of the tall male.]

Thank you, Gino.

[Speaking of creepy, Sherlock pauses on his way past to silently read over her shoulder.]

[trollofthree]

Hey, don't mention it. [he doesn't sit down, since she seems to be busy, but the notes are right there, so he takes a look.

... Huh. Takes a thoughtful sip of orange juice.] That's a lot of information.

[isur2ndprincess]

[takes a sip from the cup]

[looks at her notes] It may be useful soon.

[motions towards the seat across from her] You can sit... if you want. [aaah shy]

[isur2ndprincess]

[She's too absorbed in her reading and doesn't notice]

[bitofafiction]

[This could go on for a while!

Eventually, though, he spots his own name on the page and chuckles softly.]

[isur2ndprincess]

[Yuki was bent over her notes but at his chuckle she sits up straight, back stiff, and doesn't move]

[bitofafiction]

Your information is very complete. I'm impressed.

[trollofthree]

[does! And promptly reaches over the table to swivel the notebook to him for a second.]

'Scuse me...

[flips through the notes, making the occasional interested noise as he notices information relevant to him or the others, and pushes it back to where it was before he snagged it.]

Is it for your Player?

[isur2ndprincess]

I try and keep track of everything.

[isur2ndprincess]

[Scrambles for her notebook but doesn't really try that hard to get it back]

It's for Sora.

[bitofafiction]

An admirable goal.

[He comes forward into her line of sight to stand behind a nearby chair. This reduces his creep factor by at least 50%.]

May I see?

[trollofthree]

The girl from before?

[isur2ndprincess]

The one with red hair.

[looks at her notes]

I need to help.

[isur2ndprincess]

Thank you.

[looks between her notes and him, she knows that males here aren't the same as males back home so she would try to not panic]

Sure?

[trollofthree]

[sip.] Ah, that's right! She's your Knight, isn't she?

[isur2ndprincess]

Yes, [small smile] and I'm her princess even if this is all I can do to help.

[trollofthree]

[Geez, all the good ones are taken.]

Sure are a lot of princesses here.

[isur2ndprincess]

[Fun fact, all the girls who are afraid of you are Sora's, nope Gino doesn't mind]

Are there? [She looks at her notes, should she make not of who's a princess?]

[trollofthree]

Ah, that is... [whoops, Euphemia wanted it kept secret. HASTY REVISION TIME.] There are a lot of cute girls! Right?


[okay no, that failed. Can't win'em all, Gino.]

[isur2ndprincess]

[Oh so you're that kind of guy]

[line faces forever]

[trollofthree]

[man this orange juice tastes good! He's just going to down the rest of the glass.]

[isur2ndprincess]

[quietly sips hers as well]

[boys all seem to be the same]

[trollofthree]

[..... wait, something's just clicked.]

Yuki, can I see your notes again?
