Whatever You Do, I'll Do It Too
WHO: Adam Taurus and Orihime Inoue
WHAT: Orihime wants to see Vale so she can understand better the tensions between humans and Faunus. Adam accompanies her. She does not break into people's houses so she can stare at them and make observations.
WHEN: May 3, 2014
WHERE: Vale Archway - Fayren
Orihime waited outside the Archway, wearing a bright yellow raincoat and galoshes with good thick soles. Her floral skirt covered her knees, slightly spattered with rain water. The newspaper had said the weather would be good on Saturday, and it was, but she couldn't resist dashing through a good puddle now and again. Besides, weathermen weren't always right, so she wanted to make sure she was well dressed in case the weather took a turn for the worst.
She could see the city of Vale through the large stone Archway, and she had to admit, it was kind of fascinating to see a completely different world, then look behind the archway and see nothing at all. How did it work? Were they teleported to a different location when they walked into the archway? Was it just a magic illusion?
As time passed, she found herself growing more eager to test out her theories. But Adam would be here soon, and she didn't want him to find her running back and forth through the archway lest he think she wasn't taking her declaration seriously. The idea to visit Vale and see for herself why Adam hated humans so much was an impulse that popped into her head on the day of the cherry blossom viewing. She knew he was struggling with his old prejudice and hatred, and he'd done an admirable job adapting in her opinion. But it didn't seem fair to expect him to overcome everything on his own like that. She needed to see things from his point of view. Maybe the humans from his world really deserved to be hated. That was why she had to see, and he'd offered to go with her.
She was a little grateful for that; it would have been embarrassing if she wound up getting lost.

Especially if she got Adam of all people to smile!
"Well, as long as it isn't expensive. Maybe a rain poncho, just in case there's more soup in the future?"

Seriously Orihime.
Either way, Adam turned to look down at the boy, talking with him again briefly He nodded at the other Faunus, then the boy ran off down the street. Adam had glanced over at Orihime, adjusting his mask as he spoke, "he'll be fine. I gave him some of my lien so he definitely has enough money to last for a while."
And Adam walked closer to her now, a hand reaching out to her and-- ....he pulled a noddle out of her hair, "perhaps a new change of clothes isn't all you need," perhaps a shower?!

But later.
"Ne, that was very kind of you. I didn't know you were so good with kids, Adam-san," she noted, her eyes twinkling. She'd never had a problem with Adam, but it was nice to see that he had a kind side that ran deep. Maybe deeper than he realized.

He cleared his throat at that, dropping the noodle to the ground. The Faunus put a hand in his pocket, turning away from her. He didn't want to hear something like that, especially from her. He was a cold member of the White Fang, he couldn't afford to seem weak.
"I just didn't like seeing one of us being treated that way, that's all," and if she hadn't been here then he might have just gutted that man, honestly.

"I don't like seeing people treated like that either. I wish there were more I could do." She heaved a sigh. "Maybe I'll just have to keep coming back!"
