Tay just flipped him a pout. "So mean to your darling little sister!" She turned slightly so that she was facing him dead on, not wanting to act like she had anything to hide. Already she could sense he was uncomfortable and shy. She followed his gaze and wound up with an eye full of floor tiles. Oh for the love of-
"Well?" she prompted. "You came and found me. Gotta be something on that little mind of yours."

Poke looked her friend dead in the eye, waiting for a response. "Are you nuts? Of course not! Don't you remember?"
--FLASHBACK(oh yes I went there)--
It was only a few days after she'd escaped from Cian, ally gone mad from her poor luck. She'd wondered the forest with no goal or purpose in mind. Maybe she should just live out the remainder of her pathetic life in a cave somewhere. That way people wouldn't get hurt just from being around her.
But, as luck would have it, she found no cave. All she came across were some huge trees with over hanging branches to hide her from the light rain that seemed to fall endlessly from the sky. She huffed and glared up at the sky. "Stupid rain," she muttered in the language she'd been taught. It still upset her to think about it, but now that she'd learned how to talk it was annoying not to.
It was in the dead of night that she heard the sound, a soft rustling somewhere to her left. She stood quickly, ready to flee if she had to. Poke expected to see soem monster, or dangerous animal. Hell, she half expected to see Cian for a moment. What she got was a girl about her age with short blonde hair and alert eyes.

Poke smiled up at her. "Naw, just a weird thought. Slipped out." She stood and glanced at the clock that was placed on the wall just inside the room. "Almost time for our next classes. Have fun in Hand-to-Hand! And try to control yourself please."
Nami just rolled her eyes at the redhead. "I'll make no promises." Poke pouted at her. "But I'll try." With a tight hug and big smiles they went their separate ways. So what if they hadn't been able to hunt down the demon boys. They'd be at work after school.
Oh joy of joys.
