How long had it been…since she had seen someone? Not necessarily seen, but actually spoke to a living being? Perhaps longer than her mind convinced her to believe. It was beginning to get stuffy in that small dorm room. The silence was beginning to be deafening. She had not even seen trace of her roommate for a long while… Hanako pulled her dark shawl further up her hunched shoulders and paced slowly through the Miator courtyard. It was cold, and while she felt it, she felt almost nothing at all. A few students lingered here and there; some swaying in the frigid wind and chiding their friends to huddle with them in a chorus of lighthearted mewls. The brunette’s gaze did not flicker to them. There was no need. She was just a ghost to them anyways; to pretty much everyone. Trapped within the shadow of herself.

Without warning, the tomboy suddenly stumbled on the walkway and crashed to her knees. A strangled cry rose from somewhere deep within her chest, but she gnashed her teeth to conceal most of it. She did not expect any of the solemn heads to turn. She was used to that now… Drawing the back of a sleeve against her dampening eyes, she proceeded to push herself up, oblivious to the stinging in the knees and palms.

Though it had been a few months since shed been here Koneko was lost, again... she new she didn't have the greatest sense of detection but this was just sad.

She had been trying to find the theater room, it had been a little lonely here now that winter hit and she hadn't really made any friends so she thought a bit of improve in the theater room may cheer her up. That is if she could find it. Looking at the school booklet, for the map inside it she hardly noticed that a girl had fallen until she her self only added to the issue almost tripping over the girl her self.

Way to go koneko she thought to her self , in her tomboyish mind set she had a tendency to criticize herself yet her body language and facial expressions told a different more cute school girl story. As she bowed about thirty times to the girl whom was trying to stand up and pull her self together. " I am so very sorry ! Oh are you okay ! I mean it looked like that hurt and the fact I almost added to it doesn't help , I'm so sorry "

She bowed once more which led her hitting her self with the school booklet, needless to say this wasn't Koneko's best moment

Her attempt to stand was intercepted by a girl who suddenly tripped over her. Due to Hanako's pessimistic outlook, she first figured it might have been on purpose. Only, that seemed not to be the cast when a shower of apologies was next cast down upon her. It surprised her, and she failed to respond for a few moments. "I-It's...okay..." She finally managed to say. The words came out quieter than expected, for she didn't exactly trust her voice at the moment. She found herself trying harder to hold in tears of vexation now that someone had actually acknowledged her. Wait... Someone was acknowledging her. The brunette's head snapped up just in time to witness a tomboyish girl smack herself with a school booklet. Was she the one that had tripped over her? It was a likely possibility. 

Hanako pushed herself up and swayed precariously for a moment before finding her center of balance. Her knees were stinging. She hoped they weren't bleeding. She looked to the girl again. Some part of her desired to flee in embarrassment, the other part of her decided that would only make things worse. What should she do? She wasn't really sure, so she just bowed and found herself apologizing. Then her gaze focused on the booklet. Perhaps...was this girl lost? She didn't seem like a girl of Miator, so she assumed so. "...M-My apologies, but, are you....lost?" She trusted her voice a little better now. Shouldering her black shawl once more, she waited for the girl's response. 

(Oh my gosh, someone posted! Thank you!) 

As The other girl stood Koneko noticed her knees, they looked pretty hurt. Which only had Koneko more concerned. As She was about to do something about it she heard the small voice replying to her apologize. Blinking she was happy that the girl was alright as far as her tripping, yet then it seemed like something changed not for the worse but maybe the bad as she noted that the girl had asked of she was lost. Which was nice but it meant that she had seen her  booklet which meant she probably saw it hit her. Which led Koneko to blush, which she disliked doing seeing as she saw her self as a tough girl.

" Ah you saw that, yea..it isn't my best moment right now is it, um well you see i was headed to the theater..but though i have been at this school long enough, i don't really have any friends to visit yet so i dont wonder often...unless on my own and usually it places me in these situations.."

She sighed at this knowing it was true, yet she also noted that she may have rambled a bit hope she didn't talk the ear off the other girl, oh that reminded her she hadn't got the girls name and the girl was hurt and here she was rambling!

" Oh Please before we do anything lets get you fixed up, my name is koneko by the way and i get hurt a lot , as you may have guessed, so i always have one of these in my bag..."

Pulling out a first aid kit which was one thing she learned from her cousin Eri to always have handy, she thought that eri meant for others but it helped Koneko her self more then she allowed most to know.As she pulled it out she opened it placing some medicine onto her finger tips." Um this sure help ease the pain is it okay if i put it on?"

A blush sprung up onto the face of the girl before her, and Hanako assumed she was embarrassed. She would be too, had she been in the same situation. The girl then began to further explain the issue that had made her wind up lost. So another person liked to wander too? Well, maybe not  liked to, but she could still sympathize with the product that resulted from wandering. Hanako often found herself wandering a lot, if not hiding away in her room or someplace of isolation, which almost always lead her to getting lost herself. She had been improving, however, and now could at least navigate back to a familiar location without much hardships. She broke herself from her thoughts when the girl suddenly provided a brief introduction and produced a first aid kit from her bag.

Koneko, was it? The name certainly fit her appearance, yet contrasted a little with her tomboyish personality. Not that Hanako's was any dissimilar. Then the girl applied a portion of ointment to her fingers. A look somewhere between shyness and concern flitted over the brunette's pale face and she took a glance down at her knees. They were pretty scrapped up... Not to mention bleeding a little. She glanced up at the girl again, tugging at one end of her shawl in subtle embarrassment. "...S-Sure." She murmured quietly.  

The ointment was cold to the touch ,sadly she hadn't thought of rubbing it between her figures so that it wouldn't be so cold before placing it on the girl's knees. Which was yet another less then grand moment in her mind, she just hopped the cold feel wouldn't bother the other girl. Kneeling down to get a better angle she smiled up at the girl...the girl...She had forgot to get the girls name again ! She would half facepalmed if it weren't for her trying to help the girl out.

" I am so sorry but i seemed to have forgotten to get your name...again"

The last part was mumbled and she hoped not herd. She finished with the ointment and pulled out a bandage which she hopped would stay on the girl's knees until she had time to fix them better herself. Koneko placed them carefully on the main scraps before standing once again." That should do it at least until you get back to your dorm"

She still felt bad for the hole name thing and was waiting for the reply to find it out. She was pleased to see that the bandages weren't falling of yet. She knew she had to do a bit more for the young lady that she almost tripped over. " If you don't mind if you can help me get un lost maybe i can treat you to a sweet treat...i always seem to be able to find the cafe, even when lost.."

She chuckled to her self as she said this yet it seemed a tad awkward sounding when it left her lips.

Cold... The ointment was cold. Had she not been so concentrated on maintaining her composure, the brunette would have shivered a little. It was soothing nonetheless, and the pain had slowly began ebbing away as the girl applied it. A question was soon asked of her, and she meditated on it for what seemed like a few moments as bandages were administered to her knees. Hanako could not help but twitch a little in an almost uncomfortable way. She had not been out of her dorm for a long while out of fear of...well, upsetting another person with one of her atrocious personality shifts, and thus forth had to acquaint herself with interacting with others again. Even if it meant throwing herself out of her comfort zone.

"Hanako. Hanako Miyamae. Fourth year Miator student..." She tried to voice her introduction confidently, but her throat felt inexplicitly dry all of a sudden. It was probably from the lack of verbal interaction... Or perhaps from nerves.  A slight haze of blush suddenly erupted across her cheeks, and she performed a low sweeping bow, emulating that of a gentleman. She had forgotten to thank her! "Thank you...Koneko-san." She started, her voice trailing off awkwardly in between the words. Maybe the lack of interaction had done a larger toll on her than she had originally calculated... She was used to it, anyways. 

Her lack of social skills were blandly obvious, but she hoped the girl would not notice. "I...would be glad to help you."  She paused for a second as the girl chuckled before quietly adding, "...And that would be lovely." It might have been just a trick of the light, but it appeared as if a fraction of a smile had upturned the brunette's lips for a moment. How long had it been since she last smiled? She was not too sure. She was determined it help this girl, Koneko, no matter what.

Adjusting her shawl loosely so that it came to rest at the almost top of her slender neck, she scrunched her broad shoulders a little bit and held the black garment closed with one secure hand, using the other to gesture the girl's booklet previously in hand. "The theater...correct?"

not only had the girl told her name but she also was willing to go to the cafe and help her find her way to the theater! Koneko had to admit maybe today wasn't going to be so bad after all,this thought left a small smile as she gave a slight bow back. Hanako , what a lovely name, is she remembered correctly it meant flower girl, very cute indeed. " well Honeko my dear flower shall we head our way there?"

She took a moment to rethink what she had said, Koneko knew she had a tendency to learn the meanings of peoples names and use them as nicknames or stage names as she liked to think of them , just as how her mother did to her. Yet she thought maybe just meeting someone she should have held back until they new one another better.Nipping her own lip at the nervous thought, maybe the girl had not  noticed? Quickly she spoke up to cover her possible mistake. " do you like the theater haneko?"

She kicked the ground slightly as she slightly and slowly began to walk backwards to the was she thought was the theater forgetting that she was the one lost, remembering it she stopped in place with a pinkened face to prove how embarrassed she was about the last few acts she had preformed, sigh, what was that about the day getting better?


( sorry it is rather short isn't it i hope it's enough to work with sorry again)

A light blush colored the brunette's face upon hearing a nickname forged from her name. It was endearing, yet she had not expected it. Now that she thought about it, the name Koneko itself meant kitten or little cat. The brunette fidgeted with her shawl in an attempt to pull it up over her face a little to hide the forming blush. In all honesty, it just looked like she was really cold, but her constant fidgeting betrayed her. Koneko appeared nervous about the contents of the sentence. Had she thought she had upset her? Hanako was not one easy to upset nor happy for that matter. Easy to make uncomfortable and depressed, yes, though this situation spurred no uncomfortability.

"Y-Yes..." She murmured quietly to the first question. Then, "It...is quiet in there, so yes..." Clouded brown eyes followed the girl as she began to pace, only to kick the ground then saunter backgrounds in what appeared to be a random direction before stopping all together to melt into an embarrassed mess. She actually looked kind of cute when she was embarrassed... Hanako shook the thought from her cloudy mind. Maybe she could help resolve the embarrassment...

"May...I ask why you are going to the theater, Koneko-san?" Hanako was not one to probe, nor one to talk very much without first being spoken too, but this situation called for a light conversation to made. She hoped it would coax the girl from her embarrassed state. Waiting for her answer, the brunette pulled her shawl down a fraction, revealing that most of her own blush had drained over the last few minutes. That was good.

The other young lady had tried to calm the embarrassment and she did. With a little fact Koneko got easily distracted. As they walked she answered the question. " I love to act and I want to practice some new improve things...if you would like you can join in or watch, id love to ha e the company. "

Smiling she looked at the other girl. She had made this day quite abit about her self she wondered if she had come off rude , so she quickly changed that. " What do you like to do ?".

Koneko hoped that would be enough to open another conversation less about what she wanted. Besides learning about others are always fun to her .
