[Nephry is coming home from grocery shopping, one bag in either arm. The bags pretty much block her vision, so she's going slowly to give anyone coming towards her plenty of time to get out of the way. That's not to say that everyone will, of course.]

[[ooc: Is she about to run into you? Might want to warn her!]]

[Meet Rosalie, who doesn't move for other people, but expects them to go out of their way not to hit her. Though bumping into her would be like smashing into a wall. So: warning.]

[silversnowfall]

[she isn't even aware she's about to walk right into someone. So when she does, she'll go down fast, spilling the groceries onto the ground]

Ah!

[And here's another roadblock. Lute's crouched, right in the way, and seems to be listening to a chipmunk chatter to him. He's never been the most attentive person, so sadly, he's not paying much attention to your approach, Nephry.]

[silversnowfall]

[she's going to trip over you! And down will go the groceries, again. Sigh. She knew this was kind of a bad idea, but really, most people would be able to warn her...]

[He topples over, too, almost landing on the poor chipmunk. At least the ground's soft enough to cushion the impact on his face. He flails his arms a moment, trying to get his bearings, before pulling himself up. He sees he's messed up again. Oh dear.]

A-Ah! I'm so sorry, Miss!

[silversnowfall]

No, I'm...I'm sorry. I couldn't see where I was going.

[gets up to brush herself off and pick up the groceries again]

[Lute, a bit timid in his guilt, pulls himself up and shuffles over to help her.]

[silversnowfall]

Are you all right?

[openedcage.livejournal.com]

Fine! Perfectly fine! Um... you didn't hurt yourself, did you? That was quite a fall.

[silversnowfall]

I'm fine.

[Good thing Rose has fast reflexes, as she catches your groceries before they hit the ground. She'll stare at you with a slightly annoyed expression, though.]

[silversnowfall]

My apologies. I didn't see you there.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[She sighs, shifting all the groceries to one hand and extending the other to help Nephry up.]

You shouldn't even be carrying that much in the first place.

[silversnowfall]

[takes the hand and gets up quickly. No sense staying on the ground]

Thank you. ...And I suppose not. But thank you also for catching everything.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

Where are you headed? I might as well help you before you bump into someone else.

[silversnowfall]

That's a very kind offer, but I can manage.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[She shrugs.] Suit yourself.

[silversnowfall]

[a grateful smile as she takes back the groceries]

Have we met before?

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

I don't believe we have.

[She holds out the hand that had previously been holding the groceries.] I'm Rosalie.

[silversnowfall]

[sets the bags down for now to shake hands]

I'm Nephry.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[This woman smelled different from normal humans. Oh well, what did she care?]

Nice to meet you.

[silversnowfall]

Likewise. ...How long have you been here?

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[...that's a weird question to ask.]

Four months...why do you ask?

[silversnowfall]

I was just curious. ...Part of me...keeps hoping it won't last long.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

I am accustomed to waiting.
