The Lady Takes The Stage (OPEN)

[Cecelia Riddel]

Celia knew better than to hope that Donovan was referring to herself as cute. She peered through teh gaps in her fingers at his exclamation to see what was going on, letting them fall into her lap as she inhaled and slowly let the breath out. Still flustered.

"Thank you, Mr. Shina." he cleared her throat, her volume returning to Donovan as the boy began ranting at the instructor who came to her aid as though nothing were wrong.

"Actually, you were advised to cease, and didn't. While I appreciate your enthusiasm and positivity, not everyone wants to have attention drawn to their...abilities." Defects. She won't say that out loud though, and certainly not to strangers. DEFINITELY not to ones who didn't know better.

"So, please, let us move on to a different subject."

[Zack Asiv]

"What she said. You may be cripple, but I can tell you are from a combat oriented territory, so for you to understand you had to be struck. Deal with it, I'm not going to treat you any different."

Shino would nod.

"Anyways, I need to get back to my duties. Any other questions?"

[Donovan]

Donovan pouted.

"Fine. Sorry."

And he would leave. Slumped over and obviously upset.

[Cecelia Riddel]

"No. Thank you, sir." Celia shook her head, noting the pout and slump from Donovan. He needed to learn to calm down a bit, but he seemed young, and he had meant to help. It was a matter of boundaries, but somtimes you needed the rod more than the honey.

"If you like, I can see about dinner, homestyle like I'm used to. In thanks of your assistance."

She'll just need to find someone to cook it and probably pay them.

[Zack Asiv]

"Awesome, see you then!"

Shino would then leave and close the door!

[Cecelia Riddel]

With a heavy sigh, Celia sank onto her bed, looking around the room in bewilderment and dismay for a moment as she gathered her thoughts. That had certainly not gone as planned, but the best way to organize said thoughts was to help organize her own space. Just more thoroughly than she was used to on her own.

"This is going to be interesting."
