06: Changes [Open Video and Action]

Video

[ At last, it's moving day.

When the video feed clicks on, it isn't to the warm candle-lit room at the Dancing Donner but instead to a view of Garden Park on a sunny day. The camera pans to show Adela, wearing a small smile and a pretty blue dress in her new home. Really, the only reason why she's comfortable is that only the top part of the dress is showing. Even if the hem reaches her knees she's still not comfortable with that thanks. ]

Hello, everyone. I thought this would be the best way to let those I care of to know that I have moved, so I no longer reside in Fayren but in Genessia City. I still intend to work at Fawn's Forge, of course – there is no need to worry for my absence there. Perhaps I will see more of you more often, now.

[ The feed clicks off from there. ]

Action Only

[ Later, Adela can be seen wandering the halls of the Garden Park Apartment building, because she'd mostly taken it because of the view and wants to see what else is there. Granted, much of the machinery is new to her and she has to ask about how to use it (or to look at some handy signs in the case of the washing machine, that's convenient), but in fact the girl seems unusually cheery. She's enjoying herself, just learning and trying to live a little differently.

She finally meets the eye of another person however, blinking a little. That's when she realizes that she's basically out in public in the dress, immediately flushing before trying to shake it off and act naturally. People normally dressed this way, didn't they? So it was normal to show that much of their legs and arms... Even ones as scarred as hers...

... ... ...

No, still too hard not to blush and to get used to it. Still, she can make conversation, right? ]

Uhm... Hello.

[ Smooth, Adela. ]

[Of course Angelo is the one person Adela wants to see after their last conversation once he meets eyes with her. His smile is more warming this time around and he's being rather gentlemanly.]

Well well, it seems we meet again.

[ action ]

[enchantressofore]

It... It appears so, Angelo.

[ Nehra, why. She knows she's still red-faced, uncomfortable, but not really able to do much else about it other than to just talk for the moment. ]

Is there any special reason for your being here, if I may ask?

[ action ]

[playboyknight]

I live here, that's my reason.

[He's just flat and serious about his answer.]

Is there a reason why you're here?

[ action ]

[enchantressofore]

...

I moved into this place this morning...

[ action ]

[playboyknight]

[His expression turns into the most amused grin.]

This means we're neighbors then. I'm so glad to hear that.

[ action ]

[enchantressofore]

It... I suppose it does.

[ She's smoothing down her skirt then, really unsure of what else to say or do. Their last meeting having gone awkwardly doesn't help things with that either. ]

Uhm... Do you... Like it here?

[ action ]

[playboyknight]

I only moved in recently myself, but it's not terrible. By the way, you look lovely in that dress.

[He's not flirting with her, he's complimenting her.]

[ action ]

[enchantressofore]

Uhm... Thank you.

[ She has nothing else to say to that, really unsure of how to continue the conversation. She still doesn't like how much of her legs the dress reveals, but at least it seems like she wasn't lied to about how it looked on her initially. ]

[ action ]

[playboyknight]

You know, how about I take you out for something to eat? Think of it as I'm making up for the way I was behaving during our prior meeting.

[He's not trying to do anything this time, more like he's attempting to be nice and get on her good side.]

[Action]

[highprices]

[Crystal slips from Angelo's room with relative ease and silence. This isn't the first nor is it going to be the last time she's spotted leaving someone else's apartment. She doesn't seem to mind and as her eyes fall on Adela she flashes the girl a confident smile.]

Hello.

That's a lovely dress.

[Her own dress is black, wrapping tightly around her center while displaying long perfect legs. Crystal is tall and her heels only add more to her height. She carries herself with unparalleled confidence, a smirk forever pulling at her lips.]

[Action]

[enchantressofore]

... Thank you. You look lovely, as well.

[ That's right, isn't it? Return the compliment, and Crystal really does look lovely. Does she live here? Adela doesn't know, she's a little too preoccupied with being unused to garnering attention based on her appearance. Especially when she's showing more skin than she's used to. ]

I... I suppose you are living here, as well? I have just arrived here earlier today...

[Action]

[highprices]

Thank you.

[Crystal laughs softly, shaking her head no.]

No, I'm simply antiquated with this tenant. I live in Nova City.

[Which is also where she works.]

[Action]

[enchantressofore]

Oh, I see. You were visiting, then.

[ She nods, not seeming to have gotten why Crystal was visiting but... Well, is that a bad thing? ]

It seems like a nice place here, at least. I am rather fond of the view of the park.

[Action]

[highprices]

In a sense, I prefer not to overstay.

[She isn't into cuddling though she finds it adorable that Adela doesn't seem to know why she's there. That sort of innocence is beneficial for the young and she isn't about to steal that away from Adela by explaining the nature of her visit.]

I had seen the park on my way in. I was thinking of walking through it on my way home.

[She prefers cities but that doesn't mean she doesn't appreciate the natural beauty of parks.]

[Action]

[enchantressofore]

It is quite nice, especially on a day like this. I thought I might dip my toes in the lake a bit later, and just enjoy the sun.

[ She's finally wearing a bit more of a smile, nodding to Crystal as she talks about it. ]

I hope you enjoy yourself, miss.

[Action]

[highprices]

I'm Crystal.

[She smiles.]

That sounds like fun. I didn't know that the lake was open for swimming.

[It doesn't sound like a bad idea.]

[Action]

[enchantressofore]

Oh -- My name is Adela. 'tis good to meet you.

I had not meant swimming though, and I have not seen people swimming in the lake. I do not think I could though, it is... Too open, for me.

[truesmiles]

Was there a reason for the change. After we spoke last time, I assumed you would stick around.

[Considered she seemed to want to help and all.]

video;

[enchantressofore]

I had intended to move regardless - it has been something I have thought over for quite some time, and it felt like now was the time to do so.

Of course, I still intend to work in Fayren and to defend the people who choose to remain. But I have no special love for the town itself, and most I know here seem to live in the other cities, making this a better way to reach them more often.

[truesmiles]

Well good luck with doing all of that while living in another city. I found it's not exactly easy to do that living in another city.

video;

[enchantressofore]

I was not expecting it to be easy, but a lot of things worth doing are not easy. That aside, it is nothing for the work I love or the goals I set to simply walk a little longer each day.

video;

[truesmiles]

How little is a little for you?

Though for how long it takes me I always wonder if I should just buy a car and drive to the archway. [Considering he takes six hours a day walking back and forth from a twelve hour plus job.]

video;

[enchantressofore]

Uhm... Well, I suppose it is more than a little, it takes at least an hour to get there now... I have not really thought much of it, honestly.

Would a car make so much difference for you?

video;

[truesmiles]

It would actually cut down my travel in Genessia by close to two hours.

So it actually makes a huge difference when you think about it.

video;

[enchantressofore]

Oh wow, that is a lot. I had no idea it made that much of a difference.

I prefer the walk myself, though there are those who think it is too dangerous to walk about the other cities at night. Still, I believe I can keep this up for the time being, if only because the work I do is what I love.

[ She seems to think about something, frowning thoughtfully. ]

That, and it puts me closer to Nova City, and makes apprenticing under Miss Winry much easier as well.
