Lazy day (RP, open to anyone)

[euphie_hime]

Euphie was done with all of her urgent homework, and it was a beautiful sunny day out. In her opinion, that meant it was time to truly enjoy it for the first time in months. She could walk without guards here, since the chance of being shot again was slim

Lucrecia was feeling about the same way as Hitomi, but a smile and murmured "thank you" was all she gave in response, tucking the money back into her pocket.

"We'll have to find something to do for her someday," she murmured to Hitomi as Euphie walked away.

"It really is nice to be outside with people," she commented, smiling over at Hitomi before she went back to marking something up on the paper in front of her.

Euphie quickly walked to the store and bought what Lucrecia and Hitomi had asked for, along with something for herself and several bottles of water. She returned in a couple of minutes and handed the snacks out, then sat back down. Seeing Lelouch still had her in a bit of a daze.

"Thank you very much." Hitomi said, taking her share of the snacks once Euphie came back. She downed a good portion of the water before starting in on her chips. She munched on her snack quietly, merely enjoying the nice weather as the lull in conversation continued.

Lucrecia made a few marks in her papers as she waited for Euphie to return, murmuring her thanks as she took her share. "I feel badly making you go get everything yourself... Can I do something for you in return?"

The scientist was used to a give and take relationship, not one that was purely give. It had been years since she'd had an actual friendship like this.

"It was no problem, really. Neither of you have to do anything for me." She ate quietly and sipped her drink, quietly enjoying the weather.

"What brought you two to this school?" Euphie asked curiously.

Hitomi munched on a chip, trying to decide how to best answer Euphie's question. She had kind of just appeared here, much like she had appeared in Gaea. It wasn't a choice, more an act of fate really.

"I just...found myself here, and applied. There wasn't much else I could do, going to school was the only option I had."

[crescent_before]

Lucrecia looked away and pretended to concentrate on the papers before her, though her pen didn't move for a long time. How could she answer that?

"I.. came here to learn, to study people, anatomy, genetics. Where I come from, we're working on trying to make life better for people, to create the ultimate resistance to natural selection. I thought that... maybe this place would be my best learning opportunity."

She wondered what they would think of this. The last person she had admitted as much to hadn't taken it well.

"How about yourself, Euphie?"

[euphie_hime]

"I hope you can do that. I know a scientist, but he's focusing on mechanical things instead of the body."

Euphie had some cookies and thought about how to explain her own arrival. The truth was best, but perhaps not all of it.

"I was...seriously injured and couldn't do much of anything for a long time. My doctor said it would be good for me to finish recovering in a place where I could spend a lot of time outside and doing things that I enjoy. Lloyd, the scientist I mentioned, heard about this place and I agreed to come."
