[ it would be super rude to just snoop on everyone in the PHS and then consider herself introduced! At least, that's how Fiora feels. ]

Oh. You're...

[ the girl from the execution. yes. unsurprisingly, she remembers her for that much more than for laughing at her when she dumped water on her face. Moving right along from that! ]

No kidding. I suppose a change of pace isn't all bad, though. [ soon enough, Fiora stumbles into the clearing, too, picking some leaves out of her hair. there are also some sticking out of various cracks and joints on her back that she hasn't noticed yet, but it's fine. She offers a little wave. ] Oh, there you are! Hi there.

[ the duality of man, given how that's how izumo's gotten to know most people by name. still—the way that fiora doesn't finish that statement is enough for her. hard to ignore isn't it?

That Girl, so to speak, but it's fine for izumo. it's nothing she isn't used to. ]

Hello. [ she won't wave back but she will give a short nod. ] I'm all up for changes of pace when it comes to some things, but I'd prefer it to be something less...

[ and a pull on one of the vines that causes a piece of random leaves to fall on her head. hmm. ]

This.

[bisouled]

[ now it's Fiora's turn to try not to laugh when Izumo douses herself with leaves... ]

Right... this is a bit extreme. Maybe we're in the jungle this week?

[ it's been part of the theme every week, after all. ]

Anyway... I'd say I was looking forward to being roommates, but I'm not sure this counts as a room anymore.

[sacredchants]

[ sorry, she totally had commentary for multiple other things but this? yeah so there are some leaves stuck in her hair but that's fine because she has...questions?

this takes her completely off guard. ]

You were..?

[bisouled]

What's with that reaction? Of course I am!

[ a little surprised, but amused. ]

We haven't really talked to each other much, right? It's a perfect chance to get to know you! I've been spending too much time with boys, anyway.

[sacredchants]

You're weird.

[ bluntly. ]

I'm not really here to get to know too many people.

[ a revised statement since she has, in fact, gotten to know people here. some of them very well, in fact. ]

[bisouled]

[ at that, she just looks amused. ]

You couldn't tell by looking at me?

[ she's embraced being weird. ]

Anyway, don't be like that. The more people you know here, the better. You've got to have friends in your corner.

[sacredchants]

[ she didn't even consider the fact that fiora is all robo, honestly, she was talking about her personality but now it seems too sincere to bring that up. ]

I don't have to have anyone in my corner.

[ she's not arguing how knowing people here does make things..."better". ]

[bisouled]

Hmm. [ she folds her arms, tilting her head at Izumo. ] Now that doesn't sound right, and you know it.

[ being alone is no bueno for anyone. maybe she's another rufus type. ]

[sacredchants]

[ she's...something? yeah. ]

Who are you to tell me what I know is right or not?

[bisouled]

No one really likes being alone.

[ she sounds confident in that. ]

Besides, maybe I want you in my corner, too!

[sacredchants]

[ okay, she's ignoring the first point because the next point she makes is???? ]

Why would you want that?

[bisouled]

Because...

[ uuuuuhhhhhhh ]

Because all I've got are a bunch of useless boys right now! Do you know what it's like trying to have a heart-to-heart with Rufus? I may as well start banging my head on a wall.

[sacredchants]

[ hmm. ]

I know a lot of boys, too. Rufus is one of them.

[ same hat but also no hat. ]

I've never tried to have a heart-to-heart with him, though, he doesn't seem like the type of person to care much about that sort of thing.

[bisouled]

I should hope so! There are only so many of us here. [ anyway. ] You're right about that - he's cold as ice. We're working together, though, so I want to connect a little bit.

[ a beat. ]

He's actually a sweet guy, too - I think. He's just working through a lot right now.

[sacredchants]

[ well, now isn't that some claims to make right here? ]

Yeah? What makes you say all of that?

[ not that izumo really cares, but it's a conversation topic..? she hadn't thought rufus as an unfeeling person. but it's not like she knew exactly what kind of a person he was either..... ]

[bisouled]

We've been talking a lot, that's all. I learned some things.

[ she's respectful of his privacy, though, so she won't say more than that. ]

And you're already easier to talk to than he is, so there you go.

[sacredchants]

[ FIORA. YOUR STANDARDS??? ]

You know how pathetic that makes you sound?

[bisouled]

[ WOW... ]

Oh, come on, I'm just kidding around. No need to get nasty with me.

[ folding her arms. ]

[sacredchants]

[ says the one who is just as cruel, but whatever. ]

I'm just stating a fact. You should raise your standards a bit if you think that's how someone should treat you.

[bisouled]

There's a difference between having low standards and enjoying talking to different kinds of people, for your information. He's hardly the only person I talk to.

[sacredchants]

I should hope you talk to more than just him.

[ like, she can't imagine it. ]

[bisouled]

Of course I do. I'd go crazy otherwise.

[ she's miffed about being called pathetic now, though... fiora tries to remind herself that izumo is probably just stressed out. ]

[sacredchants]

[ fiora gives izumo credit where it is not due. ]

If that's the case, then that means you don't need me in your corner.

[bisouled]

[ such is the nature of fiora. she hums, shifting and resting her hands on her hips. ]

You're awfully stubborn, you know that?
