Day 22: Shift 3, Library

Feb 27, 2007 10:44

Saïx had been known to keep to himself, limiting his interaction with even his own peers in the Organization to the Superior as much as possible. Of course, he gladly took up the task of chasing a few, random traitors here and there, but solitude and the company of those whom could be considered competent was something Number VII almost took ( Read more... )

The first shift of the day had left Kiden in a horrendous mood. She had snapped at her nurse and given her the finger. For all her troubles she was given a lecture on how to be nice and how her language wasn't appreciated. Then she got to go to the Library. Joy. She drug her heels the entire way and shook off the nurse as soon as they were there.

With a glare at anyone who might be looking she stalked over to a book shelf and grabbed a hard back book. Then she sat on the floor, in the corner and out of the way, book spread out on her lap. Her posture was stiff and she was clearly not reading the book. Kiden was still pissed.

Claire wandered into the Library. She really wasn't sure where she wanted to go this shift - just somewhere quiet. Talking to Jack had lifted her spirits a bit, but now she was back alone with her thoughts. About Martin Landel, and what he could have possibly done to her family. What he'd done to her, and everyone else in here.

Lost in thought, she barely noticed the other girl in the stacks she'd wandered into. Instead, she was focused on a book on an upper shelf - A Little Princess. Something simple. Something with a happy ending.

She reached up for it, for a second forgetting that she was very short and had to get on her tiptoes. As she grasped it, another book toppled from its place and fell on her head.

"Oww!"

Claire rubbed her head irritably, bending down to put the fallen book back in place.

Kiden looked up as the other girl approached. She didn't say anything though, just watched and glare. After all, other people were supposed to pick up on your bad mood and stuff. However then a book fell down and bonked the other blonde in the head.

She stifled a laugh and had to grin a little, even if she was feeling sour. "...Hey," She offered quietly and held out a hand, "I'm Kiden." She knew they hadn't met and might as well be forward.

The other girl looked around her age, but just a hair shorter. Which made her grin a little more for some reason.

Claire blinked and looked up, mentally kicking herself for not even noticing the other girl. She smiled and accepted this girl's - Kiden's - hand.

"I'm Claire," she said, holding the books in her arm. She suddenly felt like she was back in high school, and this was the first day...but the gray uniforms shattered that delusion.

"I don't think I've seen you around before...then again, I guess I'm still kind of new here. I only got here two nights ago."

Claire realized she was half rambling, and closed her mouth. She wasn't sure the other girl really wanted company or was simply being polite.

She shook the hand with a small smile. Kiden tilted her head to the side a little, and then scooted over and waved a hand, "Wanna sit? We can pretend we're studying." Which was really avoiding the more obvious setting of Landels at the moment. Kiden had to remember not to take out her anger on someone who didn't know the situations from earlier. Claire had nothing to do with this morning's fiasco.

"I've been here just a bit longer. Maybe even longer than that, but not too long. It's easy to miss people here, I've found. You from some crazy world too? Or say, New York?" Kiden asked hopefully.

Claire brightened as Kiden offered to sit with her. "Sure!" Sitting down next to Kiden, she placed both books on her lap as she listen to the other girl.

"No place crazy," Claire said, smiling. The whole "different worlds" thing did get confusing. It was always nice to see someone from home. "I'm from Texas, and it's about as boring as tumbleweed."

Oh, good, a normal person. Kiden had to like that. Someone from Texas, a place she recognized. It seemed that the relief was a bit mutual too. "...Finally, a place I recognize. You don't know how many weirdo places I've heard of." She shared.

"I'm from New York," She added, just in case that hadn't been clear. Kiden had never been out of New York, actually. Well, she was now, wherever and whenever now was.
