Gearing up (Moore, Ithea)

[Anastasia]

27 quickly presses himself back, heart-sword poking out several inches. "You smell like Anarch."

[Nephrite]

"Oh, that makes sense." Moore nods. "27, this may sound odd, but... I was told that I ought to find you and give you my aid. I realize that's a bit sudden for me to say, but... I think you'd understand that."

[Anastasia]

27 considers and comes out at that, emerging from behind the bookshelf. "Can you...take me to the cafeteria?"

[Nephrite]

Moore just smiles. "Yes, I think I can do that. I certainly passed it enough looking around."

[Anastasia]

27 simply falls in behind Moore, as if waiting to be guided along.

[Nephrite]

Moore will head to the cafeteria with 27 in tow, then! Unless something stops 27 from following him, like pretty colors or something.

[Anastasia]

Thankfully, this trip is uneventful as well. The cafeteria is full as it always is, eople chattering away. 27 immediately looks around, then stops. He looks around a second time then stops cold yet again.

[Nephrite]

"Are you concerned by the presence or... the absence of something?" Moore asks quietly.

[Anastasia]

"She's not here," 27 says, "Confused." He says, shaking his head and rubbing at his eyes with his claws.

[Nephrite]

"Who, Ithea? Or someone else?" Moore asks, looking around for any familiar faces.

[Anastasia]

"Hanna." 27 says, before wandering back through the portal. Or he would, if not for Adrian to come through the portal, followed by Mirima a few moments later. The slaad hits against Adrian's middle, failing to budge him.

"Eh?" Adrian stops, Mirima smoothly stepping aside it all. "What is it, 27?"

[Nephrite]

"Oh, he wanted to come to the cafeteria." Moore explains. "But I suppose he's done now."

[Anastasia]

Adrian nods and moves on, going past 27. This lets 27 escape into the portal and away, leaving Moore alone.

Anything else you want to do right now, Moore?

[Nephrite]

Nah, he made his impression (or something), so he's fine just resting and seeing where things go.

[Anastasia]

Let me pause you for the moment, then. Thread locked.
