Mini-event: Awakening 2

[harmonizemods]

Who: Chloe, Kisa, ensemble NPC cast.
Where: The Lab.
When: Thursday, April 20th.
What: The team always needs more members.

The call came again, but for far few people this time, and conveniently after the club both shared.

Saiga Kisa and Chloe Abendroth were summoned to the main meeting hall, for reasons unelaborated upon and unknown to both. The staffer who'd called them vanished before any questions could be asked.

And another odd pair was left to meet their fate.

Kisa was trying to brave her way through it as well, if the set of her shoulders and the small smile she offered Chloe were any indication, but she could feel everything weighing on her, exhaustion included, in a way she couldn't completely hide.

"I'll manage, but thank you." There was a slight pause, perhaps weightier than she intended it to be, as she glanced aside for a moment, then back to Chloe. "But it might be better to walk back together, even so." There was something inside her that didn't want to be alone right now, not yet. Even if her company was the gaijin she'd always been awkward around, and even if--

--but that was exactly what she was trying to get away from.

At the refusal, the German nodded grimly. If Kisa thought she could handle it, she wouldn't dispute it. She had turned to leave when Kisa looked away, wondering if it was because of the company or because she actually could handle it. Then the shorter girl started speaking again.

The German froze for only a second when she heard what Kisa had said, turning back to look at her. If Chloe had less restraint than she did, Kisa would have seen a look of almost bemusement that the German felt. That certainly was a first, someone wanting to actually walk with her. Yet with what else had happened today, stranger things could happen.

Chloe's face softened slightly before she nodded. She made to walk for the door, stumbling slightly as she did so.
