[Raining. Fortunately, Cameron is nothing if not a little pra- okay sie's not that pragmatic, but sie is sweet and sie is a little inventive. Having found a Sphere at the item shop a day before the rain starting falling, sie's been experimenting with hir magic. The upwards limit of hir abilities is low, but enough to make a practical

[If that's Jack she swears she's going to--

--oh. Well, that's a good sign. Though you're not particularly familiar.]

Can I help you?

[Action]

[kissdiet]

[Oh good, this one looks more or less awake. Cameron smiles and just presses straight on into the introductions]

Hello, I'm Cameron and I just moved in to one of the other apartments on this floor with a friend of mine. I thought it would be... polite to give a good will gift to my new neighbors, so I brought you something.

[Holding out... a box. Same thing in it as all the others.]

[Action]

[honorbeforeall]

[Hohh. It seems for every overly rude person in Luceti there's someone who takes it to the other extreme. She reaches out to take the box with a faintly perplexed look, but does glance up after a moment, giving a faint nod.]

Your gift is appreciated. Cameron, was it? My name is Karai.

[Action]

[kissdiet]

That's right. [And... polite smile. Let's win them with charm!] It's nice to meet you, Karai. I hope we can build a amicable neighbor relationship.

[...Yeah sie's a little awkward. but sie means well.]

[Action]

[honorbeforeall]

I am certain we can. [Playing nice with the neighbours is always wise and...you're not Jack, let's face it.] It seems we are both very new to Luceti, then.

[Action]

[kissdiet]

Oh, yes. Well... I wouldn't presume to know how long you have been here, but I have only been in Luceti since the earlier part of this month.

[Action]

[honorbeforeall]

Likewise. Perhaps we can both be fortunate enough to return home by the end of the month.

[Action]

[kissdiet]

If we're lucky. But... just in case, it would be good to know each other, at least.

[Action]

[honorbeforeall]

Certainly. [She does smile a little, now, and opens the box gingerly. ...silverware? The smile becomes a trifle wider.] And a most useful gift, too. Are you meeting all of the neighbours this way?

[Action]

[kissdiet]

That's right. Or at least... all the ones on the same floor as me. I thought it only polite.

[Because, you know, moving in]

[Action]

[honorbeforeall]

I have yet to meet them all myself. Are they nice people?

[Action]

[kissdiet]

Oh, yes. Aerith and Zack are both very kind, and so is Piers. I think I might have awoken Jack a bit early in his day, but he was polite too.

[Action]

[honorbeforeall]

[There's a faint frown at the mention of Jack, but hey. At least he was polite.] I have met Piers myself. He is an excellent cook. I suppose I should try meeting the others some time.

[Jack clearly doesn't count as a person.]

[Action]

[kissdiet]

Oh, is he? [Not that this... matters much to Cam but it is a topic to latch on to] Oh you should - no doubt we shall see each other at the breakfast table some time anyway.

[What with community dining]

[Action]

[honorbeforeall]

Excellent, and generous with his meals. A very friendly man. [Topic latch: get? Karai's...not very good at small talk.] It was a pleasure to meet you, Cameron. Perhaps we can talk again soon.

[Action]

[kissdiet]

Oh, I hope so as well. [It's okay, sie's cool.] I shouldn't keep you any longer.
