"Guns. I enjoy building guns." Reeve grinned a bit. "I have this one baby at home, spews fire, dry ice, and pellet bullets."
"Guns, eh?" Nicholas seemed interested. Although swords were more of his intrest, guns cerainly weren't out of the equation. Then he grinned. "A gun of fire, dry ice, and pellets?" While it seemed unreal to Nicholas, nobody in this academy can really judge 'unreal', besides the girl showed quite a talent with machines so he couldn't be surprised.. "Sounds like a tricky one to manage."
"It blew up a few times.." Reeve admitted with a sheepish grin. "But I got it under control."
Nicholas tilted his head back in a light-hearted laugh. "Only a few times, eh?" His dark emerald eyes glowed slightly as he looked back at Reeve with a relaxed grin on his face. "Well, it's quite something. You're quite the innovative one."
Reeve gave him a rather sheepish grin. "It's a gift, I'm sure." she ran a hand through her ice blue/mint green hair, frowning down at her desk. "So how's your family life like?"
"Family life?" Nicholas' smile tightened. "Not the brightest of subjects in my case." He paused and loosened his smile again. "What of yourself?"
"I'm sorry for asking.." Reeve quickly said, feeling bad about it. "Oh um... I don't have one.."
Nicholas waved off the apology. "Nothing to be sorry for." Then he frowned a little. "No family? None at all? Even growing up?"
"Orphan." Reeve explained quietly. "I was left at the hospital, they took me to the orphanage, got bounced around some bad foster homes.."
"I'm sorry to hear," Nicholas said with a frown. "It's not easy having no place in particular to call home; not even a family."
Reeve just smiled up at him. "I have nothing to complain about, it made me who I am.."
"One of the best ways to look at it," Nicholas agreed with a small, brief laugh. "And it got you here now, wherever now is gonna lead you." His eyes flickerd to the front of the large room.
"I'm not a patient person.." Reeve sighed, rubbing her head. "But this is just.."
"Excessivly long," Nicholas mused with a shake of his head. "You'd think they'd start by now."
(Sorry~! I'm here now :P Flytothemoon posted it for me.)
Lila fiddled with her thumbs, her eyes flickering around the room. These surroundings seemed new and fresh to her, yet she had seen it all before.
{Does anyone know who my partner 'Tuesday' is?}
Reeve nodded with a frown. "Think they're playing with us?"
(She's the poster above you~ ;D)
"It wouldn't surprise me too much," Nicholas admitted, his eyes skirting down towards Reeve's PDA, seeing the image of Reeve's partner. He looked up and then smiled. "But I think I found your partner."
{*Facepalm* I was looking for a character named Tuesday. I'm an idiot...}
"Really?" Reeve looked down at her PDA then around the room. "Am I blind?"
(Nah, you're only just like me now~ xD)
"Would you like to test that?" Nicholas asked with a sly smile.
(Hahaha, no worries ;3.)
Lila felt a vibration in her palm and opened it only to find an image on her PDA. She took a closer look. Her blue eyes darted around to find the girl on her screen.
Nicholas let out a laugh. "We'll test your eyesight in the near future," he said with a small wink before looking towards the girl that was Reeve's partner. "She seems to be looking for you."
"Thank you." Reeve gave him a smile then stood up and walked over to Lila. "Hi, are you Lila?"
Nicholas nodded to her before plopping down in Reeve's former seat, kicking his lets up on the seat in front of him. He decided he'd let Reeve and her partner get to know each other for a bit before slipping in.
Lila nodded. "And you are.." She tilted her PDA a little so Reeve could see. "..her?" She tapped the screen with her finger.
"Hai, I'm Reeve." She bowed with a grin. "It's nice to meet you."
Lila laughed. "You too. So...I haven't been assigned one ever so I'm kind of a rookie at it..but does this mean we're partners?"
"I"m a rookie too, but yeah." Reeve sat down next to the girl and tucked a strand of her own pale teal hair behind her ear. "We're partners."
Lila nodded awkwardly. "Cool." She wasn't exactly a talkative person, more action.
