newbie doesn't quite know what to do with himself

[blank_crow]

[A poker-faced individual who looks like he just walked out of a black-and-white movie (possibly one about mad scientists) is wandering the corridors. Occasionally he'll stop and try a door, linger outside just long enough to figure out what the room contains, then shuts the door and goes back to stalking the halls.]

[So far, he hasn't said a word;

[Sneaky, Sneaky. Saft's still not entirely sure how she wound up in that room entirely naked with whoever but right as of now she's going to try and make a mad dash to her room and lock the door and pray the Nexus doesn't play a horrible joke on her and send her somewhere else.

Oddly enough, this wouldn't be the first time she's been caught starkers though due to that unusual ability of hers before she was shown how to actually stop that from happening. Oddly though the thought hasn't occured to her to use that ability right now.]

[swordandscales]

Well for now I'd just be careful about where you go around here.

[They're not too far from her room actually.]

Where are you from anyway?

[blank_crow]

I will watch my step.

As for my origins, nowhere near here, I'm sure. Which I believe renders it rather irrelevant.

[swordandscales]

You sound just like my uncle.

I'm sure if wound up here instead of me he'd be treating the residents pretty much the same way.

[Woah, hold up Saft! Remember about learning how to respect other people's quirks and such? Yes. GET TO IT.] A-A not that you treat people a certain way! I just meant-!

[blank_crow]

[He lets his pokerface slip very slightly, but instead of his actual feelings towards the subject it just looks like he's giving her a withering look.]

I have been told I am too reserved.

[swordandscales]

[She thought she saw a change of facial expression for a moment but then decides she didn't. If Corvidan is anything like Gladinus then she knows if she pushes him too much she might up really insulting him. Oh hey! This is her appartment room!]

Well here we are! Are you sure you don't want me to wash your jacket for you before I give it back?

[blank_crow]

[He appears to consider this for a moment.]

...If you have the facilities.

I don't intend to be a bother. It depends on whether you feel secure in the knowledge I would be walking around in a jacket you had been wearing against your skin.

And on whether or not you're clean.

No offense intended.

[swordandscales]

I figured you'd be the kind to flip out about hygiene, that's why I suggested it.

[Opens the door to her place, which appears to be a very messy appartment, Clothes all over the place, unwashed dishes that sort of thing. Without her uncle around to make sure she follows the rules and such she's just kind of taking things at her own pace. Proceed at your own cost!]

[blank_crow]

[Corvidan visibly flinches and almost doesn't end up crossing the threshold at all. But the guy has nerves of steel (and besides, this was what his brother's room was like 24/7) so he follows after a pause.]

And you'd be right, I'll admit...

[swordandscales]

Okie doke! Take a seat, I'll just go get changed into something else and put your jacket in the wash, Uh...Help yourself to something to eat or drink if you want!

[And off she goes into a spare room to find some freaking comfortable clothes and of course to put Corv's jacket in the washing machine. Maybe it'll be a good idea for her not to throw in any reds in there today.]

you have permission to turn his jacket pink if you think it'd be... i can't think of an adjective

[blank_crow]

Right. Thank you.

[He glances around, but despite what any casual individual would do, he remains standing.]

[Awkwardly.]

[In the centre of the room.]

[One hand sneaks up to rest on his other arm. He's feeling pretty uncomfortable right now and it's entirely his own fault.

Pink?

[swordandscales]

[Well maybe there's one red bra or a sock in the back of the washing machine Saft hasn't accounted for...who knows?
Ten minutes later or so Saft appears back into the room where her guest is fully clothes, in a white vest and blue jeans.]

Much better! Thanks for waiting.

~*~KAWAII~*~

[blank_crow]

[Blank stare.]

[This goes on for some time.]

[As in a worryingly long time.]

Ah.

[swordandscales]

Ah?

I finally get dressed and I'm less nude and all you can say is "Ah"?

[blank_crow]

[He fights very hard for his pokerface, does Corvidan. It's hard, sometimes. Like when he politely takes his jacket back and very carefully and deliberately puts it on.]

I apologise.

I just.

Am not entirely secure in the knowledge.

That this is my colour.

[Pink coat time? Pink coat time.]

[swordandscales]

Oh...?

[And then she sees what she's done.]

OH! OH MY-...

[She musn't laugh. She musn't laugh and yet the most she can manage to stop herself from laughing out loud is covering her mouth and snorting just a little.]

I-I'm so sorry, Let me see if I can fix it!
