decree 001

[forfaithful]

[ It's hella late for an intro, isn't it? But ah, well. Euphie's out in the front lobby, just past the staircase that leads up to the elevator. She's standing there because her bag tore. .w. Shouldn't have checked out all those books from the library, Euphie. Now her things are all over the floor and she has nothing to put them in. Sigh

[Yosuke just happens to be walking by and...oh hello there pretty pink haired lady~]

Do you need some help?

[forfaithful]

[ She looks up at the sound of Yosuke's voice, smiling abashedly as she nods. ]

I'm afraid so. My own fault, really. Absolutely murdered this poor bag with my over ambition. [ Sighs at that, gesturing to the torn tote bag. She's going to need another one. Or maybe she'll just start wheeling a bookshelf around behind her. ]

[junesemployee]

That's a lot of books. [and he crouches down and starts picking them up, well as many as he could carry]

Ergh, heavy. So where are you going with these?

[forfaithful]

I suppose I should go back to my dorm room since I don't have a bag anymore... [ Euphie ponders this a moment or two. She notices that her books are a little heavy for him and feels a little badly for imposing. ] Ah, do you mind? I'm sure I can manage on my own if you're at all busy.

[Rion has been (fortunate? unfortunate) enough to see this, and being the heroic, tiny babby white knight he is, is doing his damndest to scamper around and help her pick them up. No, he hasn't asked if she needed help (that would have taken too much time; she might be in a hurry!), he's just working on making sure everything is picked up.

Euphie's probably seen him before in their first aid class; he's that tiny, tiny, tiny kid who never says a word (and usually has someone else speak for him). He does seem eager to help, though, even if he's a little awkward about it, a little -- trying to avoid making eye contact, as if he feels awkward about even stopping to help.]

[forfaithful]

Ah? [ Imagine Euphie's surprise as she turns around to reach for a notebook and bumps right into one of her classmates. ]

Oh, hello! Sorry, I didn't even see you-- [ And then she realizes he's been helping her collect her things, prompting her to offer him a startled smile. ]

Thank you for your help.

[derped]

[Thump. This might not be so awkward if Rion weren't at the perfect height for said bumping to have Rion's face perilously close to her chest. Closer than he feels comfortable with, at any rate.

Which is why he takes a sudden step backwards, flushing. A lot. He appreciates the thanks, yes, but he doesn't say anything, just nods - and looks like he'd like to break eye contact sometime within the next approximately 5 seconds. He does have his whiteboard on him, though, hanging off a strap next to him on his shoulder - if he can, you know, calm down enough to talk.]

[forfaithful]

[ The sudden recoil startles Euphie, as does how nervous and jumpy he seems. Did she do something to make him nervous? Her brow furrows slightly in concern as she reaches out at him uncertainly. ]

Are you alright? I didn't hurt you, did I...?

[Mjrn is on her way to the Training Center...or was, since she quickly notices the girl ahead and her spread of books on the floor. She seems a bit familiar to the young Viera, who remembers her a moment later as also being in the Garden Code class. The name currently escapes her, though.

Heading over, she nods and crouches down to help collect the books.]

Hello. Where might you be headed?

[forfaithful]

Hello? [ Euphie looks over at Mjrn and quickly smiles gratefully at her, also recognizing her from that very class. ] Oh, thank you! I was just on my way to lunch before this happened.

Say, don't I know you from our first period? Garden Code, I believe. [ And then Euphie pauses from picking things up to offer Mjrn her hand. ]

It's nice to properly meet you. My name is Euphie.

[dewdrop_pebbles]

[Mjrn shakes her hand, smiling as it revealed that the recognition is mutual]

My name is Mjrn. It is nice to meet you, as well.

[She glances to her own bag and peers inside.]

I still have some space in my bag. I can aid in bringing them along to lunch, if you wish.

aldjaakfa this is adorable already

[forfaithful]

[ Euphie replies with some small apprehension, glancing between her scattered books and Mjrn's bag. ] Are you sure it won't be too heavy? I'd hate to ruin your bag too.

[vocavoice]

[ Miku sees this happen from the staircase.

She leans over the railing to call out to Euphie. ]

Are you okay?

[forfaithful]

[ Euphie looks back up at the sound of Miku's voice, nodding quickly as she waves her hand in greeting. ]

I'm fine! I didn't fall or anything. My bag just tore. [ Sigh. ]

[reortus]

[ C.C. would have just as easily passed by if she didn't spot that flash of pink... in a style she's familiar with. Blinking, she steps closer and stares. ]

You're...

[forfaithful]

[ Euphie sees C.C. out of the corner of her eye and blinks, pausing from picking up her things to face her. ]

Ah, yes?

[reortus]

[ Composes herself quickly and turns to look down at the spilled books. ]

Couldn't contain yourself with the Library, hm? [ Stoops down to pick up a book and examine the cover. ]

[forfaithful]

[ That prompts a laugh out of her as she nods. Looks like she's been called out on her addiction. ]

I'm afraid once I stumbled upon the culture and history sections, I couldn't quite stop myself. Even the flora and fauna here are eye-opening. I don't think I'm going to sleep for weeks.

[ She offers C.C. her hand at that. ]

I'm Euphie.
