Nightshift 35: F21-F30 Hallway

Okay, so the day more or less completely sucked. The only consolation Toph had was in regards to the conversation with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan and the upcoming meeting with Renamon for her file and possessions. That is, if she could even find the woman. Renamon never got a chance to tell her the location of her room; the staff had intervened too

F21

Falis was in a good mood when she left her room, still wearing the red pants and the tight white tank. Her hair was still in the French braid though wisps of hair had come loose from it and she had a fine sheen of sweat on her skin from the sparring with Senna. Flirting and fighting with her roommate had been a whole lot of fun, especially since either Senna didn't mind the flirting. Granted, it wasn't like she was going to jump her roommate; she had another for that.

One who was right next door.

She had a couple stakes hanging loosely about her hips from her braided sheet bandoleer and a spear in hand when she knocked on Hokuto's door. Her breathing was steady, but it was clear she'd been involved in some recent physical activity and she was rather satisfied at the moment. It never crossed her mind what that might look like to her girlfriend.

"It is all of those things." Signum spoke calmly, but she was beginning to get annoyed. Fire was good, especially in a warrior, but over this? To Signum it seemed a childishly defensive reaction that only confirmed her worries.

And she presumed such weakness on Signum's part... "I'm not like you. My friends are those peers I respect, not those I need." Not crutches. Camaraderie the knight felt easily, but for her friends were few and far between. She knew she could survive without them because she had.

"That's all. Do with it what you will."

Hokuto wondered if that was true; Signum wasn't exactly human, and definitely not of Earth, so it might be... but that was still a much lonelier life than Hokuto could even think about having.

And my friends are not a crutch--they're a lifeline, when I need it. Which isn't all the time. Differences weren't bad in themselves, but she still couldn't imagine shunning people so easily.

Imagine if I told her I miss the man who killed me, too...

"Understood."

"We should get going." Signum moved on without missing a beat; the conversation might as well have never happened. She didn't want to cause the same trouble she'd been trying to stave off. You needed a clear mind for the work they did, and carrying tension from an argument over into their mission was a sure way to loose that.

Without another word, the knight walked out the door.
