Allen looked from the closest street sign, to his poorly hand-made map then back to the sign. He knew where he was supposed to be but unfortunately, this place wasn’t it. He checked his watch and, after a few seconds of consideration, found he still had two hours before his job interview.

He wandered around the area a little bit, trying to find a street he recognised or knew remotely but with little success. Tracing his steps didn’t work either but managed to get him even more lost. Being typically male, he didn’t want to ask anyone for directions but with only an hour and a half away from losing a potential job, he had little choice.

He noticed a large sum of boxes across the street from him and a young looking woman alone hauling them around. It would be rude to not at least ask to help out so he crossed the road. “Would you like a hand with anything?” he asked with his default pleasant smile.

Mahiru was taking a five-minute break. After all, she'd been hauling boxes for who-knew-how-long now, and was starting to tire out. Now she wished she'd asked the guys at the Moonshine if they would help her out with moving in as well... but then again, she hadn't wanted to bother them.

"Uwaa~" She was just leaning back against what would be her bed (when she got it upstairs and put it together again) when a voice broke the silence, and Mahiru blinked before looking toward the source.

"Oh... haha!" She had to giggle, and waved a hand slightly; "is it that obvious I've been doing this all day?"

Allen’s smile widened. People around had become so much more sociable recently. Was it the music ban causing it? “You looked kinda tired so I thought you might like someone to help you out”. There was plenty of time for him to figure out where he was and be at his interview on time. He’d probably ask her for directions later.

He looked around at the boxes. “You have an awful lot of stuff”, he chuckled, half-wishing he could get a new apartment. Kanda’s old one was too small for him. “Oh yeah”, he held a hand out. “I’m Allen. Nice to meet you”

[ooc:: I said “he” an awful lot sorry ^^;;;;]

[myluck_yourluck]

"Help?" Mahiru smiled; considering she had only just arrived at the apartment complex, it was nice to see that people in the area were so friendly. "Well..." Help would definitely make things go faster...

Then he held out his hand and introduced himself, and Mahiru giggled, reaching to shake his hand lightly. "Mahiru desu! Nice to meet you Allen~"

Allen’s smile brightened as she shook his hand and he looked around at all the boxes littering the pavement. He glanced at his watch again before lifting up one of the not-too-heavy boxes with a little effort and took a few steps towards the door. “Wait. Which apartment do you live in?” he asked, chuckling at his own mistake.

[myluck_yourluck]

Oh. Yes, he probably needed to know which apartment she was in if he was going to help her move her things. Mahiru lifted a box of her own, pausing for a moment when Mr. Bat shifted in her pocket, then moved toward the door. "I'm on the third floor, the elevator is this way." Then a smile, and she added, "do you have somewhere to be, though?"

Shifting the box in his hands, Allen followed behind Maruhi so she could guide him to her apartment. “Well, I have a job interview in an hour and a half I think but… I’m kinda lost”. He laughed a little. “Don’t worry about it though, I think it’s nearby. I have plenty of time to help”.

He cried out when he stumbled over a smaller box laying close by but managed to keep himself and the box in one piece.

[myluck_yourluck]

Lost, well, everyone got lost once in a while. Mahiru smiled back at him-- then jumped a bit when Allen tripped. "Oh!" He managed to catch himself in time though, thank goodness; "are you okay?"

Allen’s face of shock turned into one of relief and he took a few moments to let his heart rate settle. “I’m fine. I was more worried about breaking this box full of…” He looked at the label on the box to find it was filled with nothing but clothes and his head dropped. “Clothes”. Well, what a first impression he must have made upon Mahiru. First he is friendly and offer to help, then he almost breaks his neck trying to stop a box of clothes from falling. I bet she thinks that I’m clinically insane >>;;;.

With his face red of embarrassment, he fell in behind Mahiru to let her lead him to the apartment. Being careful not to trip on anything this time.

[myluck_yourluck]

"Haha, sorry... all my breakable stuff is upstairs already, I should have told you." Another smile, and she waved a hand lightly; "if you trip again don't worry about the box, ne." As if that wasn't obvious.

Stepping into the elevator, she waited for Allen to join her and then pressed the button for her floor. "Hey, so where's your job interview supposed to be?"

[burnt_identity]

With his face returning to its normal colour, he raised his head to stop him from walking into Mahiru (or anything else for that matter) and followed her into the elevator. “Uhm… I can’t remember the name of the place.” He smiled, putting down the box and reaching into his pocket to produce the small, slightly crumpled piece of paper he had drawn the map on. “Just there, but I have no idea where it is from here. I don’t suppose you could send me off in the right direction when we’re done here?”

[myluck_yourluck]

Shifting the box she was carrying over to one arm, Mahiru leaned over to peer at the paper Allen was holding. "Oh, by the cafe..." Then a nod, and she smiled to him; "mn, I can give you directions sure!"
