The young redhead was enjoying herself. Well -- enjoying the independence of living alone, more specifically. A hotel room (paid for) full of lavish clothes (too big) and makeup and all sorts of wonderful things. Yes, she was becoming a bit suspicious that this, in fact, wasn't a dream, but anything beat going back to the training house and their silly rules and curfews.

But anyway! Clothes!

For fourteen, Red had filled out quite nicely already. She'd always had a bit more of a bust than other girls, and had never been shy to be proud of it. However, that didn't settle the issue of the clothes in the apartment being too big. At last she found a nice dress that could wrap and tie comfortably around her -- short on a grown-up woman, but hitting Red just at the knees.

The coat fit well enough to be warm as she headed out for a nice night on the town, ready to go shopping for proper clothes and -- hello cute boy! Tucking a lock of straight, ginger hair behind her ear, Red threw him a shy little smile as she neared.

Kethan could see the redheaded girl coming toward him in the reflection of the glass. He turned to watch her as she came closer. Rather pretty for a younger girl. He let a smile come to his own lips, but he wasn't going to relax. He was in a strange place and he didn't know what he was in for.

Once she was close enough, Kethan allowed himself to take everything in. "Evening." Polite and friendly.

"Hello yourself." The little smile brightened redly. Older boys were so. Cool. She boldly held out a hand for him. "Are you among the many confused masses out there? Seems like none of the kids know what's going on."

So at this age, she hadn't quite mastered the arts of false personas and disguises, but Red thought she was doing pretty well.

Kethan reached out and took the girl's hand to give it a firm shake. "So there's something going on? Hm."

Once he released her hand, he looked around. It did look like there were a lot of confused people around. So it seemed like someone wasn't going to be picking him up.

"So, it looks like we're stuck."
