Day 11 // Vala arrives
Who: Vala & Mamoru
When: Day 11 early afternoon
Where: The café
Why: Arrival post
Rating: PG-13 for language
Status: Completed.

The café was peaceful especially at this time of the day and there were not many customers - if you could be a customer in a place where you did not pay for anything. The hurricane was again raging outside after the sweet moment of calm in the morning, but there was slow pop music playing on the radio distracting thoughts away from the storm. In doors it was a lovely early afternoon when no one was hurrying or making any sudden movement or loud noises.

Up until the moment that something mostly black appeared out of no where above one of the round tables - luckily an empty one as well, as the thing dropped with a loud shriek on the table making a startlingly loud crash. The table's leg broke with the sudden weight and it fell over completely. The flower vase shattered on the floor sprinkling water around it, the chairs around the table were flown backwards and fallen over, and what ever rolled over on the floor from the falling table hit the next table as well, bringing it down and breaking yet more vases.

Silence fell to the café once again and everything was still for a moment. The destruction of the surprising appearance was mind-boggling, and somehow the quiet and the still before and after only emphasized it.

Finally something moved again, but slowly this time.

"O-ow," was a painful groan from under the other fallen table. It was pushed aside and a woman sat up in the middle of the havoc she had caused with her appearance. She was dressed entirely in black - she had some sort of black cargo pants, a black jacket with strange labels and symbols on it, and black army boots. Her long hair was black but there was a silvery white stripe in the front surrounding her face. She had pigtails, but her rough landing had left her hair rumpled, and she looked all together incoherent like she had gotten a hit on her head and was seeing stars.

She had to concentrate hard to suppress the burst of laughter after his comment. She decided to be gracious, for once, and let him rest from her comments and questions for a while. Besides they were going out to the storm anyway, and it was hard making snide remarks there. She had no idea where she was supposed to be going, so she shamelessly wrapped her arm around Mamoru's and lifted her collars up as they went outside.

He started to pull away, at first. But then, he reconsidered. Forward or not, she was a small woman at least compared to him, and he couldn't just leave her to fend for herself. The wind might snatch her away. It was just practical. So he sighed once more and held onto her until they made their way into the dorm room. He pulled the door open.

"Ladies first..."

It was said in an almost ironic way as he held the door for her. It certainly was not a view he usually exhibited. And he had to shout to be heard.

	Vala ducked into the building coughing sand and ruffling it out of her hair. "You weren't kidding about the storm!" she said and wiped her clothing, and finally looked around. The building looked modern, and reminded her of Earth more than anything, just like the main building as well. "So this is it? How many dormitories are there altogether?"

"I usually am not, actually. Kidding, I mean."

He shut the door behind them, and the silence after the roar of the wind and rain was nearly deafening. He ran his fingers through his short hair, ridding it of the sand that had blown into it, before turning to look for the stairs.

"Six, I believe. I'm in A, and there's B, C, D, E, F... I think that's all. But they're all huge.. there's room for a lot of people here."

"There must be a lot of people in here already," she said, talking mostly to herself. She glanced down the hallway to make sure the numbers on the doors began with 1, and then looked up at Mamoru.

"So, mister Making Sure I Don't Want To Have Casual Sex Even When It Is Not Completely Clear That It Is Being Offered," she grinned again teasingly, "my room is that way. I take it you did not want to risk the minimum chance of you actually ending up in my bed?"

If he'd been drinking something, there would have been a very funny moment where he literally sprayed his drink all over the room. As it was, all he did was look at her with an almost comical expression on his face. He kind of looked like a deer caught in the headlights.

"If you think you can find your room, I think I'd better..."

He cleared his throat and tried again.

"Is there anything else you need?"

She tilted her head pretending to be thinking for a while. "Need? Nah, not really. Want? Now that's the question your should be asking, Muscles," she smiled widely and reached to brush his jawline with her fingertip.

"Thank you, Mamoru. You have been a real gentleman," she said this time actually meaning every word. That, however, did not mean she was not endlessly amused by it.

He slowly pulled himself under control. He hated himself for losing it, and even more when he saw how much it amused her. He was going to have to watch himself around this one, he was sure. Mirage was a fairly small place, they were bound to run into each other again.

"Right. If there's anything else, I guess you can probably find me. I'm around. Training in the gym, usually."

	"I'm sure we'll meet again," she purred and turned to the stairs. "Ta!" And with that, she began climbing up the stairs with a self-satisfied smile on her lips. She was off to another little adventure now to discover her room and what it held - and it was bound to bring an even wider grin on her face. Oh, was she going to enjoy it in Mirage!
