A stomach bug... are you feeling alright now?
I can pop in for a sec if you need anything at all!

[You know him and his mama tendencies.]

[braveredrose]

I'm feeling okay!

[A pause, before she adds-- ] Would you mind stopping by anyway?

[whythistho]

Not at all, not at all.

[And without another word, he's on his way! But he's not going to just walk into her room because that's still creepy.
Nah, he's gonna knock.]

Ib? It's Garry!

[braveredrose]

It's open!

[Plus, her roommate's not in at the moment 'w' She's just lying on her bed and working on homework, so...]

[whythistho]

[And now he'll mosey on in.]

... My, no wonder you wanted me around - it's awfully lonely in here!

[braveredrose]

My roommate isn't here a lot...

[It's not like she particularly minds, but it is pretty lonely...

She'll just. Set that homework aside. Yeah.]

[whythistho]

... So I see...

Well! If you ever need company, just give me a call, alright?

[And he'll mosey over there to take a seat at the end of her bed!]

[braveredrose]

I will. [She scoots closer to that end of the bed, moving around a bit so that she's sitting on her knees instead of lying down.]

[whythistho]

So... what is it that you need, dear?
Help with homework, perhaps?

[braveredrose]

Just company, really.

[... She might ask for homework help later, though.]

[whythistho]

Ask, and ye shall receive.

[Said teasingly, with a little bow (and flourish)!]

Though, just company can be a little boring without something to do, right?

[braveredrose]

I guess so... did you have something in mind?

Through the sweat pooling on his lashes and dripping into his very green eyes, he looks at the girl complimenting him. His slight blush is also green.

"Thank you...They only gave me a basic education on this subject in JROTC." Pronounced jay-rot-see.

I am wondering, what is this Day of Valentines? [Her accent makes the word sound surprisingly foreign.] Is holiday here?

Re: [network]

[markedviolin]

[It takes her a moment to understand the accent, but she nods excitedly.]

It is! It's a holiday celebrating love.

[like_baby_yak]

Love? [She looks a bit confused.] Why is special day needed to celebrate? Love is something to celebrate always, not to save away like extra crops.

[markedviolin]

[She thinks for a moment.]

I guess some people take the day to be extra-romantic? Candy companies certainly make a lot of money...

I've never really had anyone to celebrate it with, so I can't say for sure...

[like_baby_yak]

If it takes special day for someone to be romantic, perhaps romance is not best for that person.

[Gotta love that lack of English language skills.]

The buying of candy I approve of. Gifts of candy always welcome, special day or not.

[markedviolin]

I agree! Candy's just one of those things a person can't go wrong with.

[like_baby_yak]

Yes, this is truth! Candy is never wrong, any time or place.

Valentine's?

Guess I haven't thought about it yet.

[Who'd she give gifts to, anyway? She didn't really have a 'valentine'. :|]

[Action]

[lovesignmasterspark]

[Oh, Marisa could tell she was new, at least. Lost? She'd find out.]

What're ya waitin' for?

[A girl with a rather large hat is standing against a tree somewhere behind Ib.]

[braveredrose]

[Ib jumps and turns around to face Marisa. She rubs the back of her neck, a bit embarrassed.]

I... can't really find the girl's dorms... I think I might need a little help...

[lovesignmasterspark]

Here, lemme lead ya there.

[She starts walking in front of Ib, motioning for her to follow. She'd do it for free, this time, she thought to herself. Works better to meet new people and establish herself as a helper and then later getting things in return for her help.]

It's a bit of a walk, th' place is fairly large.

[braveredrose]

Looks like it... [Ib's quick to follow, dragging her suitcase behind her.]

Thank you, by the way!
