I guess I should start to introduce myself.

I sigh to the idea of making new friends. It doesn't usually settle right in my gut. Maybe I am nervous and the thought of such change in my life had made me queasy. "Well, I ain't getting better this way so best to just march on and get it done!" I say to myself outloud. "That is a good additude to have."

I turn to the calm voice to see none other than . . . . . "Hey, I don't think I caught your name." "Blake . . . and you?" "John, nice to meet'cha!" After that introduction, we just started to walk together but not really talked. It was a good kind of silence, really. I catch her glancing at my weapon hilt, seeming to be eyeballing me. "Like what you see?" This causes her to snap back to attention. "Take a picture it lasts longer." "Sorry. I was just . . . yeah." I smirk. "Well, you were either staring at my Nano-Hilt or staring at my sweet ass. I'm okay with either, actually."

She becomes flustered but refused to say anymore. It feels like she lost in something that isn't even a competition. "You can just ask, you know?" As she opens her mouth, an explosion happens. We both turn to see a small red girl getting chewed out by the ice princess. That's when I see Blake heading over their. "Blake, no! Bad idea!" I try to shout in a hush tone. But, she didn't heed me. "Hey, I said I was sorry, princess!" The girl snaps back.

"It's heiress, actually." I face palm. "Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world." And now I feel better, I begin to approach. "Finally! Some recognition!" Now I remember! Weiss Schnee! "Finally! Some recognition!" It is good to see a familiar fa-! "The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners." Oh fuck.

"Wha- How dare- The nerve of... Ugh!" With the girl chuckling, Weiss storming off (leaving her valuable dust, mind you) and Blake now leaving me alone. I sigh, I was on my way out of my hiding spot to help the girl until a young man helped her up. I nod in approval as they exchange greetings, then I go slightly white hearing her.

"Aren't you the guy that threw up on the ship?"
