To be perfectly honest I was surprised to hear someone's voice behind me come out of nowhere, though he seemed sweet enough as far as first impressions can tell. I thought that it was kind of strange at first that his skin was green but then again I grew up in isolation and Cham's is orange so I'm no one to really judge, but he did look pretty cute I must admit. I noticed that his posture had relaxed from when he first saw me and saw quite a few superhero and comic book "whams" and such stickers on the clip board he was holding in his hands on top of some papers. I noticed him just kinda staring at me, trying to figure out if something was going on behind me or...
"Uh, sorry just trying to remember who you are" he said with a faint blush. I nodded a bit mentally, it did make sence for him not to know my name very well since I had only just joined.
"Oh, that's fine, I'm a recent recruit. My name's Girl Wonder," I said, forgetting that my hands were full with a tray and going to hold out my hand to shake and nearly spilling everything everywhere. Way to go with this first impression, that could've been a huge and disaterous mess if I hadn't remembered the tray as quickly as I did. He obviously noticed my...near-accidental mess and put the tray down on a desk for me, which is better since I don't know if there's a certain system and what can or can't be moved and to where and such. He did. This time we did shake hands and I giggled when I had to promt him for his name. It sounded familiar and I recalled that it was from when the others were trying to give me a "brief" one and a half hour intro to the people I'll be in contact with most and a bit about them and how things work and the tower layout and what-not. How smart did they say he was? It was over 10...11 maybe? I'll give it a whack. "That's cool, so just curious if I understood the others right, they were talking pretty fast," and it still took and hour and half, I thought, "but, uhm, 11th level intellegence?"
"12th" he said simply to correct me, he seemed not to be bothered by the mistake too much though, he even chuckled. I started to think that maybe I laugh and all a bit too much because it made me chuckle a bit too.
"Oh, so close" I chuckled with a small snap in fiegned disappointment, I was only one off. "So I assume that you're the friend Triplicate Girl was talking about that in here?" I asked to be sure, I wasn't sure how many people were in here and she didn't exactly specify skin color or anything, just said that I couldn't miss him. Green skin would be pretty hard to miss, especially to me. He told me he probably was since it was only him and this Lyle fellow, the latter Triplicate Girl had asked to meet up with her to chat. He made a comment about the fact that there was two cups and offered some since I was around and got another chair from a nearby.
"Yeah, sure why not," I say with a smile, and a shrug and sit down with him, "definately beats getting lost in this place, tower is huge."
"Yeah, but so is the Legion, the place does house most of it's members"
"True, hey maybe since you've been here so long, well before you left but you still seem to know the place pretty well with how much you run through the halls without looking and end up in the right place, y'know if what they told me about that is true, maybe you could show me around sometime if you have some spare time and would want to of course. Slower than the others, of course, since the way they did it went in one ear and out the other." I suggested with a shrug as I held the orange cup in my hands. I jumped when he squawked a bit of his hot chocolate at the suggestion, "I-I mean it's fine if you don't want to I can ask someone else-"
"It's fine, it's fine," he said quickly, grabbing some napkins, "I just didn't espect you to ask me" he said, wiping up the brown liquid from the desk and his skin. I saw the clipboard that he had with him earlier with stickers on it, common "WHAM"s and "POW"s and such in comic book action scenes.
"Nice stickers," I said with a small smile, I personally loved comic books. I giggled as he got flustered and blushed.
"They're not mine, I was peeling them off of computers and such, Lyle put them there," he said quickly. I giggled at how embarrassed he seemed to be about a few stickers, it made him a bit more cute to me.
"It's fine," I giggled, "I have boxes upon boxes full of every single comic book I could get my hands on, I love them. Though apparently not as much as this "Lyle" person that you work with in here. I don't go so crazy as to purchase stickers and put them everywhere." I can't help as it makes me laugh a little that he visibly relaxes just from me saying that.
