*complete, 2011 11, character: troy bolton, dead: tyra collette

RP: Tyra & Troy
Who: Tyra & Troy
Where: Team center
When: 23 November 2011 (lunch)
Summary: Tyra picks another ~~victim~~ person to talk to at lunch.

Tyra had gone through another day and it was much the same. Getting up early for training first of all. It didn't feel normal by any stretch of the imagination but at least she was picking up some useful skills. That's how she was going to think of it. It was better than thinking that if she was back at home, she'd be in her truck on her way back to see her family. She wasn't sure how Tim felt about missing out on Thanksgiving but Tyra felt just awful. She knew that nothing had been done to cover up Tim's disappearance and she didn't imagine anything would be done for hers. She'd have just disappeared without a trace, leaving her family to think she'd either ran away from everything or that she was dead.

She kept trying to push it out of her mind but it was still there despite it all. There was only so much she could force out and all of this had been more than a little overwhelming.

Tyra had been adding to her mental list of questions as she went through the days. It was great living with Tim; she could ask away and because they weren't anywhere public, nobody was going to think she was an idiot for not knowing how things worked around here. She liked Savannah, who she'd met yesterday, but Tim was the person she'd go to first. He was her friend, she trusted him, and he knew her. Tyra figured he had to know how much she disliked being out of the loop.

Tyra had just finished training in the morning and, as before, made her way to where everybody ate lunch. She picked somebody new to talk to, one of the guys who she'd been told hadn't arrived long before her. She was pretty sure his name was Troy but she decided to err on the side of caution and check.

"Hey there- It's Troy, right?" she asked, smiling. "Mind if I eat lunch with you?"

"I was thinking how horrible it would be for them," he said, wondering just how self-involved this woman really was. "If it's hard for us, I can't imagine what it'd be like for children with no parents and no clear understanding of what's going on."

He nodded. "Yes, we were there all my life, we moved to different cities, but we were in Albuquerque for a long time, and yeah, Austin is smaller than Albuquerque, not by much. San Francisco has the highest density, I think. It's not that big, but millions of people."

Troy chuckled. "Right, then you'll just have to surprise me." Now that would be more likely, especially if it happened near Sam or Callen, because they could be a team, but those two were intimidating and old.

"Well... That goes without saying," Tyra said, looking at him a bit strangely. "I mean nobody would wish that on a kid, especially not one old enough to know something was wrong but not able to understand the whole picture. I couldn't imagine it. I really hope there's some kind of age limit."

"Not sure I'd like that. I wouldn't want to feel like I was living on top of people, you know?" she asked, pushing her hair behind her ear and looking at him. "Did you like such a busy place?" And how come you moved from Albuquerque?"

"I will," she promised. "Don't you worry about that."
