[At Hiling's suggestion, she and Ribbons made their way over to Sector 5 to go out for pizza. She wore a knee-length skirt with a matching top in dark blue, something she had picked out on a solo trip to the store. Approaching the building, she looked back at Ribbons.]

I think this is the place.

[If the neon signs were any indication, it was indeed. She could smell the pizza already and it was making her hungry.]

	Sounds tasty. Let's get that. [She repeated the order to the bot behind the counter and set out to find them a table. Settling on one beside a window, she pulled out a chair and sat down, elbows on the table and chin resting in her hands.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Ribbons followed suit, setting himself across his twin, leaning back on his seat.] I'm sorry I've been... preoccupied these past two days, Hiling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I understand. I've been out exploring. There's a lot of neat places I think we should go. [While she had been disappointed in the lack of attention, she had managed to keep herself entertained while Ribbons was busy. She was just glad to have him back now.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, all sorts of stuff. The movie theater, the pet cafe, the park-- [She seemed to have suddenly remembered something. Glancing to the side, she thought about how best to tell him. She wanted to be honest with him, but wasn't sure how he would react.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Not prying. Not just yet~] I think I caught wind a movie screening... did you get to watch it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Hiling was grateful for that, at least while she got her thoughts together.] I did, actually. That was fun. I even got to talk to the director. She was pretty interesting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	arcanesansnom 2010-06-12 01:37 pm UTC (link)
	Ah~ so a movie produced by fellow inmates. That's interesting~ [A bot then passed by and Ribbons signaled for it to come over --] We forgot to ask for drinks -- what are you having? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2010-06-12 05:44 pm UTC (link)
	Right, um, water's gonna be good for me. [She watched the bot to avoid looking at Ribbons.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Hm. Perhaps there were things he still needed to know about Hiling; but something anyhow was... off.] I'll have orange juice. [And the bot was sent off with the beverage orders; maybe Hiling wanted something but she did not know how to ask~?] Did you want a pet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A pet? That would be neat...

[She tried to reassure herself that it was nothing to be so anxious about, but it seemed the longer she waited, the worse it became. She began to wring her hands in her lap. Before she could change her mind, she went ahead and blurted it out.]

There's something I should tell you. Yesterday, when I was wandering around the park, I ran into someone. One of them. I know I shouldn't have, but I kinda talked to him for a bit. He didn't recognize me or anything... I'm really sorry. I would have told you sooner, but you seemed busy and I didn't want you to worry and get distracted.

	[And hello to you, confession. Ribbons was rather flustered at Hiling's straight-up delivery, right until she finished.] Oh... [He will never admit that he was disappointed that it was not a matter of keeping domesticated animals.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

[In any other instance, he would have slapped her like he did Regene or Wang Liumin. But he held himself -- he was going to change, no more of those unnecessary violence. He leaned back on his seat and set his hands on his lap.

He was quiet for quite the long moment, such as that he did not notice that a bot had served their drinks. He was upset, there was no denying it, but she said she was sorry.

And perhaps something good came out of their exchange? So many thoughts and emotions to keep under control that his voice came out eerily calm.]

He may not have recognized you but it was still a significant risk you have taken. And yes, I will be worried, and I am worried.

Who was this fellow you spoke to?

[It felt a bit better to get it all out there. Either way, it needed to be said. Had she not, Ribbons would have found out eventually, and would likely have been even more upset with her.

She was familiar with his temper, and was surprised he hadn't snapped at her. Glancing up, she nodded.]

Lockon Stratos-- though he introduced himself as Lyle.

[Hiling took her glass and dragged it in front of her, staring down into it.]

[Flaring up in public would not do good -- and Ribbons cannot afford to lose and hurt the only person he can truly count on as an ally.]

Lyle Dylandy, he is.

[And there was just... no use in getting angry towards Hiling. He created her and the others after all. They were still children compared to himself...]

He was a spy for the rebel group Katharon. I firmly advise you avoid seeing him again.

	Really? Oh... I'll try, but he mentioned he'd be teaching at the school. [She absently drew circles in the gathering condensation on her glass.] I guess he just didn't seem like much of a threat at the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	arcanesansnom 2010-06-13 06:59 pm UTC (link)
	[Now he remembers... the name was part of Euphie's list of classes...] I shall double-check as to what subject he teaches exactly. [Heavy sigh --] But I would be teaching as well. [Watching her distracted circle drawing --] Please pardon me as I may have asked something impossible of you, Hiling. We can be diplomatic... [Taking a sip from his drink...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2010-06-13 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe... They're going to find out about us eventually. What then? [Diplomacy was unfortunately not Hiling's strength, but she would do her best under Ribbons' guidance if that was what he wanted.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	arcanesansnom 2010-06-13 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	[Setting his glass down, Ribbons felt helpless once more. Things were overwhelming without being able to control them with Veda.] They will... I... I would have to speak with them. Or at least, with Tieria first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2010-06-13 08:17 pm UTC (link)
	[She looked back up at Ribbons.] When you talk to him, I want to be there too. You don't have to do this alone. [Sensing his discomfort, she wanted to offer whatever support she could.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	arcanesansnom 2010-06-13 08:28 pm UTC (link)
	[Sighing, he distractedly, but lazily, ran a hand through his hair.] It's all my fault -- [He then looked up, quite surprised at Hiling's statement. So much for trying to protect her --] You would... you would do that. [Not a question -- more an expression of disbelief.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2010-06-13 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	It's just, I'd feel so useless if there wasn't something I could do. [She silently pleaded not to be denied this opportunity to help. After displeasing Ribbons with her actions, she wanted a chance to prove her worth again.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[It was... really something that Ribbons wanted to do on his own. It had been difficult, being vulnerable in front of Hiling, what more if he were to to actually show humility in front of the enemy?

Then again, perhaps it would be nice to have someone by his side. Perhaps he needed it more than Hiling wanting to prove her worth. A little smile showed on his face -- something that expressed relief and perhaps a hint of gratitude.]

Alright. You may come with me.

[And lo! A sizable pizza with delicious toppings has arrived!]

[Hiling smiled in return. She wasn't looking forward to said confrontation. Who knows if they could go back to their peaceful existence after that? And it concerned her that Tieria might be as unreasonable here as he was at the party.

She watched hungrily as the pizza arrived and was placed on the table. It was a much needed distraction. Taking a slice, she put it on her plate.]

Let's eat!
