Wednesday, 9:00 PM, Week 4

[dhaosu]

[ Dhaos had been keeping to himself today, or trying to, but in his own thoughts he became restless, and the images of his people dying over and over once again fresh in his mind make trying to relax or find solace in quiet impossible. So, he's up, walking through the halls to possibly head to the school house to perhaps play something--

While rounding a corner in his anguished hurrying he nearly bumps into someone and the flash of blond hair makes him think of Winona. ]

Win--

[ He chokes back a noise in surprise, realizing that he was a bit more out of it than he thought. It was the human from last time they met... which was not during a good time. ]

... I did not intend to -- for this to occur.

[ That was an awkward transition there, but he tried. ]

Comments

[americanbeauty]

[So, paranoia did no one any favors those few weeks ago but Lucy's normal state of being is slightly paranoid so she decided it was best not to pursue a lot of things from that week.

Bumping into Dhaos brings a lot of that back to the front of her mind and on instinct she goes slightly on guard. The politeness was not something she expected though so she eases.]

It's fine...

[She looks confused thanks to the strange start still.]

[dhaosu]

[ Dhaos seems to think for a second to leave it at that, but no, he considered something, and decided that should things end as they were, he would not want it on a misunderstanding. Not to mention, he was told to give them all at least one more chance, and for this, he could not truly blame Lucy.

He releases a small sigh. ]

Now that I think about it, perhaps it may be time to speak with you regarding a particular subject. If you would allow it, that is.

[ This is how he's like when unaffected by paranoia-- most of the time. Unless he's speaking to a certain two humans, but even then... ]

[americanbeauty]

[The lack of incentive mind nudging is a great benefit to this conversation. Thankfully, Lucy isn't really a spiteful person. The first impression has stayed (not helped by her friendly bias towards Clover) but she's not going to deny him a chance to speak. Mostly she was just curious.]

Please, go ahead. I don't mind.

[dhaosu]

[ His own judgement towards Lucy as a result may have been premature, he considered. He also wished to see if it were true...that more than one human had good in them. ]

Very well, this way.

[ He thought a good place for privacy would be a room and so he heads towards his own, which is not too far, anyway. ]

[americanbeauty]

[She will follow! A part of her is telling her she probably shouldn't go into a room alone with him because she's naturally paranoid but he hasn't been threatening. She can have a normal conversation like a real person.

Once they are finally in a private place.]

Is it really something so important?

[This is some precautions.]

[dhaosu]

...I do not wish others to eavesdrop, 'tis all.

[ He sets himself down. ]

It will not take long. I wished to inform you that during that week I did not mean to give you such a hard time. For that time, I am sure it was the same on your end... and you would not have acted in such a way normally, either. Therefore, I wished to make sure to have it cleared up on both sides if I could.

[americanbeauty]

[This is... honestly not what she was expecting after all this precaution. She looks actually surprised!]

...Thank you. It's true, I reacted badly to your question even though there was no reason to. I guess I just got used to keeping secrets even if it was just a silly dog.

[And she sounds truly thankful for his words.]
