[Over the last few days, Xehanort's been mostly found in one of two places.
Throwing himself into training wildly, or burying himself in the laboratory. (Or making his way from one to the next.) Keeping busy, in other words. ...Or distracted.

He didn't shut the lab door today, and it's possible to see him at work. Setting up kit, arranging everything, moving books around...]

Whoa....

[This coming from the brunette with wide reddish-brown eyes peeking in the room. Ever since she and her friends had arrived yesterday, she'd spent most of the time exploring, so she could tell the others where things are.]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[He nearly - not quite - drops the equipment he's holding as he spins to look where that voice came from.]

Who's there?

[notitsyet.livejournal.com]

[Uh oh, BUSTED! Tifa steps inside the room and looks around, just a bit nervous.]

Sorry...

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[He gives a sigh. Well... not like he's doing anything particularly secret right now.]

Come in. Just - watch yourself. Don't touch anything.

[notitsyet.livejournal.com]

Okay.

[So glad Yuffie's not with her, that "don't touch anything" would have been too hard for her to handle xD She just slowly wanders around looking at stuff. It doesn't really interest her but she's just exploring everything thoroughly.]

Oh, heh, forgot to introduce myself, I'm Tifa.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[He gives her a nod.]

I'm Xehanort. What brought you in here?

[notitsyet.livejournal.com]

My friends and I just got here yesterday and I've been doing some exploring to figure out where everything is.

[She brushes some of her hair over her shoulder.]

I'm still not even sure where we are.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[A smile: that's a motive he can get behind.]

What have you heard already?

[notitsyet.livejournal.com]

Well...that this place pulled people from different dimensions and stuff....but...

[Her voice trails off and she looks aside really confused, not sure whether she could believe that or not.]

[madvaporskillz.livejournal.com]

[Speaking of books, there goes one floating off on it's own.]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[Wait, what? He glares at it for a second - didn't think he picked anything up from that bit of the library! - and goes to grab it back.]

[madvaporskillz.livejournal.com]

[The book quietly drifts a little further out of reach, as if this is most normal thing in the world.]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[Ugh. Following, muttering:]

Whatever trick this is, it isn't funny.

[madvaporskillz.livejournal.com]

[And rather abruptly, a cat's head appears above the book.]

Oh, it was never meant for that.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[Ah. He raises an eyebrow-]

So what was your plan with it, then?

[madvaporskillz.livejournal.com]

Can a cat not read if he wishes?

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[A bit of a laugh.]

He can. I'd just like to know why he picked a book like that.

she keyed me in the least armored part of my brain until I did this XD

[About twenty minutes after Tifa leaves Aqua finds herself staring at the lab door. All she wanted to do was ask if he was going to the dance Saturday, that's all.

Okay Aqua you can do this....

She waits until he puts whatever he's holding down then raises a hand to lightly knock on the door.]

*snerk*

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[Huh? Who - ah. A little nervously -]

Come in.

Re: *snerk*

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

[She steps inside and looks around a bit before speaking.]

Did you get an invitation to the dance?

[Totally acting like Easter didn't happen XD]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[So casual, so normal - so faking it.]

It was hard not to. I even found one here.

[Heh.]

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

You planning on going?

[Casually leaning against a counter, being sure to be careful of stuff that's on it.]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[He thinks for a moment.] Probably. It sounds like it'll be a good event.

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

[She straightens up a bit, still leaning though, and smiles.]

Well that's good.

[Smaaaall touch of awkwardness is creeping back in.]

So....um...guess I'll see you there then?

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[A nod, a smile:]

Looks like it.

[Also with a slight awkward worry creeping back.]
