Momentary lapse (and a snack and a half)

Alice snapped her journal shut, glad to be able to do something besides stare out the window. The last time she boarded a train she'd been beyond the looking glass, and while that had a very interesting view with equally interesting creatures, here she felt as if she were being lulled to sleep.

Reading Sora's message and feeling very famished, she got up and left Rinoa and Robert, looking for a bite to eat. She had made sure to carefully place her Vorpal blade on her right thigh, concealed from prying eyes, and proceeded to the back of the train to meet up with Sora.

Sora grinned. He'd play hero, if he had to! It didn't bother him any (except that maybe he felt she should stay behind JUST IN CASE...), and he wasn't alone doing the fighting. Then again, was he ever?

Chizuru's speech also reassured him about her homeworld. Good, everyone didn't stay inside with those little... journals all day! What a waste it really, really, really would have been if they had. He placed his hands behind his head.

"Your friends sound really busy! That's always a good thing, my mom doesn't like it when I'm bored..." Because that usually led to him bugging her, and her threatening to tell his Dad on him when he got home!

He glanced around as the train lurched to a stop. "But don't worry! Just stay with us, we'll protect you! I am, after all, a Junior Hero!"

Chizuru bit her lip and blushed a little more. Between Alice's patient acceptance (then again, someone who had survived a looney bin was probably gonna be a little more accepting of weirdness by default) and Sora's cheerful grin, she felt a little better about making a fool of herself a moment previously. "Thanks, you two. It... means a lot?"

It did, actually. Being the odd one out in a group made Chizuru a target to a lot of people. Having friends was a good thing. And Sora was one of the first guys Chizuru had met in a while who wasn't either too cool to hang out with girls (like Kurosaki Ichigo) or too busy trying to date all of them at once (like Asano Keigo).

At the very least, they both claimed to be okay at fighting and agreed to help take care of her. Hopefully their other friends would be okay, too. She could calm down (she always got so high-strung and ditzy around cute girls!) and apologize for causing confusion, and things would be okay.

Chizuru smiled. "Then let's go learn some things about Paixao!"

Hopefully the fighting wouldn't get too rough...
