<strong>Name:</strong>Azari Bellare (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=280698.msg13813147#msg13813147)<br/><div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/WuIH8hz.jpg)</div><strong>Date:</strong>September 12th / Noon<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Campus Grounds, at the Lunch Hall<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Christopher King, Open!<br/><hr/><br/>In the silence that follows, they are both given a chance to simply enjoy their meal together and Azari is once again enamored by the silent comfort of eating with another person. It was such a simple thing, but something she was able to appreciate just a little more than one might expect, since she was accustomed to eating protein bars by herself before her morning runs, and having late dinners after spending hours out, exercising or studying. While the girl is far from a model student, she put in a admirable effort to be one, and it shows in her posture as she stuffs her face with rice and veggies. When the fries are passed her way, she's just putting down a practically empty bowl, wiping her lips daintily as she listens to him. He was... glad that she came? She has to think for a moment, as there's simply a surprised expression on her face, before she nods in agreement.<br/><br/>"I'm glad I came here too!" She decides gratitude is appropriate, for such kindness. "I really got lucky, with my background. When people realized I was half pokemon, they were pretty quick to accept it and... I never really hurt anyone too badly, I think." There were a few 'incidents' where she couldn't control her anger or emotions as a child, but it was nothing that a little burn cream couldn't fix! And even if she felt guilty for those she injured, her family moved around enough that none of the mean things or paranoia about her would really stick, either. In hindsight, things could have turned out much worse. When she hears about his resilience, an idea comes to her.<br/><br/>"Could you help me, sometime then? I um..." She pauses, realizing that 'I need someone to properly punch' probably wasn't the best thing to say here. So, she backpedals. "I could use a sparring partner who can take a punch as well as I can. Some of the teachers entertain me but I'm always afraid of hurting them..." There's a adorable sort of pout on her face as she explains the dilemma. But she quickly goes from thoughtful to excited at the invitation to go flying, to break the rules about leaving the campus, so they could see the sights and get some ingredients for this chili.<br/><br/>"Ah, that would be wonderful Chris! If you'd really have me, I'd love to go with you."
