Naomi had not been the only one devoid of sleep last night. Arya had found herself unable to sleep a wink, the reality of her situation crashing on her like a tonne of bricks the minute she curled up in bed. True, she had told Roxas that she was more relieved than upset at the notion of never returning home. After all, there were few in her homeland who truly showed her kindness. But still, there were no goodbyes to those who did care, no chance to tell her mother at her grave that she was moving on, and all her personal property still remained in her small house. They're only luxuries she told herself, They can be replaced. And as for those who will miss you...well, they'll probably be half-glad to be removed of a burden. That's all my friendship brought them, after all.She slipped down the guest stairs early in the morning, searching for a quick breakfast before she started her first shift as a waitress. Clad in the same slip of a dress she'd first appeared in, she stepped out to be greeted to a mostly abandoned dining area, with ( ... )

She started as Arya sat down next to her, not recognizing her through her hazy semi-consciousness. Naomi recovered quickly with a smile and nodded. "Yeah... yeah I'm okay," she said, rubbing one eye. "Just a little tired. Bourbon has a nice burn going down; it'll wake me up."

As her vision cleared, she took another good look at the girl sitting next to her. "Oi, you're the magic user from yesterday, right? Pretty nice skill you got there; without you, all this would've gone up in flames." Naomi gestured to the alcohol in display behind the bar and grimaced. "That would've been a little bit harder to clean up."

Naomi suddenly bit her lip, realizing she hadn't introduced herself. "We haven't met formally, have we?" she continued, sounding somewhat apologetic and offering her hand. "I'm Nao, the repair woman around here. Who are you?"

Arya found herself flushing a faint shade of pink at the praise, shaking her head quickly. "It wasn't just me." She pointed out, embarrassed. "You all helped, too." Her eyes darted to the various bottles of alcohol across the back of the bar, sharing in Naomi's grimace. "And if those bottles had caught fire, I'd say we'd sooner be dead than cleaning up the mess. That's quite a lot of flammable substance there, after all."

She returned her attention to the other girl, smiling and taking the offered hand. "I'm Arya, now a waitress here. Nice to meet you." It felt good, she had to say, being able to talk and befriend a person like this, even though they had full awareness now of what she was. Better to be appreciated than feared, after all. She bit her lip as a realisation dawned on her. "Oh...so you had to clean up the mess left afterward, huh?"

Naomi nodded, but showed no signs of displeasure at the statement. "Yeah, Lambo helped here and there, but mostly it was me," she said and looked over her shoulder with a slight grin. "I've always fixed things though, so I enjoyed it." Her breath caught however, and her teeth clamped down on her tongue. "That must've sounded weird," she added, "that I enjoy cleaning things. It's not really a fun thing to do, is it ( ... )
