[Helloooo Nurse!]

[Hey- waitaminute... THAT doesn't look like one of the nurses you may remember from your arrival in the nurse's office. Hm.]

[Nonetheless, she soon approaches you as you catch her eye.....]

Oh my; you look awful.

[Anna approaches you in the hallway; wearing a hyper-sexual nurse outfit. One must wonder whether this is the result of Campus-magic shenanigans, or just another highly impractical costume of her own collection.]

[Canting her head to the side; a look of faux-concern on her features.] Have you had a check-up lately?

I absolutely insist that you see me for... a thorough inspection. It's for your own good, really~

((OOC: ANNA HAS OFFICIALLY GOTTEN BORED ENOUGH TO RESORT TO HER USUAL TROLLING WAYS. Note: In case you don't know, this lady is a sadist who gets off on other people's pain/embarrassment- So if you respond here she WILL do her best to make you as uncomfortable as possible- be it through a brief casual prank or something much more sinister. She may get flirty, or put you through some pain, or humiliate you, or all of the above. Therefore, if there's something I just mentioned that you DON'T want your character to go through (i.e- nothing too sexual or no bruising or no humiliation)- please specify. Don't worry about outright gore or anything overly hardcore since she's mainly just in a playfully dominating mood. ~~Unless you desire otherwise~~.))

((Also yes I know I owe some tags which I will get to; I was just really in the mood to make this post. ...Even if I'm double-posting shut up))

Oh...

I would take you to my room, but um... I share it with someone, and... [Pyrrha cuts herself off. She doesn't want it to sound like she'd be ashamed to introduce Nero to her roommate or anything, but... Well. Nero's... not always the most friendly person, and he probably wouldn't be able to relax in that situation anyway. -Not enough to open up about how he's doing, anyway.] ...But,

I do know where a common lounge room is. Follow me, okay?

[Pyrrha walks on ahead; turning down the hall in hopes that Nero will actually follow.]

[Nero makes a point to let out an irritated sigh when she talks about his roommate, and when she starts to walk down the hall he merely makes a wry face and moves on to the next door to see if it's unoccupied.]

A "common lounge room" is the last place I want to be.

[The girl stops; looking back at the man now.] ...Oh.

[A pause. After taking a moment to mull it over, Pyrrha decides that... maybe it wouldn't be so bad to bring Nero to her room for a bit. After all; there's a good chance that Link is out and about somewhere, not even within their room at the moment. For various reasons... she would much prefer if that were the case. Hopefully, if Link is present, he wont mind the added company.] Well then...

...I'm not sure where these other doors lead, so... perhaps it would be safer for you to come to my room after all. -If you wanted to, I mean... [Pyrrha says this a bit awkwardly; looking down to the floor. She's... never really invited a man over before...]

[Nero stops at a fourth door, glancing over at Pyrrha as she seems to change her mind about inviting him over. It's not that he wanted to be invited over, but even he was starting to grow weary spending most of his time here in isolation.

While Nero would still rather be alone right now, he figured it might be better take advantage of the opportunity while it prevents itself. It was cold on the roof at night, not to mention the bugs, even one brief nap in a normal room would do him good.

And as much as he didn't care for, or even loathed Pyrrha at times, she still wasn't the worst company.]

I guess. [He casually shrugs, turning to walk towards her.]

[Admittedly, she's somewhat surprised that Nero actually accepted her offer.]

[As Nero approached, Pyrrha made no effort to move just yet. She stood her ground before the male now; looking up to search his eyes. After a brief moment, she speaks her mind.] ...He's nice. -My roommate, I mean. I don't know if he'll actually be present or not, but...

[A pause.] If you could... also try to be nice...

...that would be.... nice.

[With that carefully-worded statement, Pyrrha turns; leading the way to her room now.]

[So her roommate's a guy, then. As long as he doesn't bother him they should be fine.]

I'll think about it. [He says to be stubborn more than anything, and while he doesn't plan on trying to cause any trouble, he's not making any promises either.]

[As they begin to move Nero crosses his arms in a discreet attempt to hide his Devil bringer.]

[Pyrrha isn't exactly encouraged by Nero's response, but it's better than nothing. Of course, given the fact that she isn't human, perhaps she's not exactly in any position to fairly judge Nero's ability to get along with others. A demon-killer like Nero would naturally have a certain level of malice for all demons... For all she knows, his apparent attitude applies solely to her- and in reality Nero could be a very sociable guy with lots of personal friends.]

[...Then again, the one and only other person she's ever seen him interact with ended up with his head jammed into a beverage-cooler.]

[With that thought in mind, Pyrrha only feels even more anxiety as she continues to walk. The girl glances over as Nero tries to conceal his corrupted arm; furrowing her brow in sympathy.]

[Reassuringly] ...Perhaps we'll have something for you to cover that with in our room...

[Nero grumbles unappreciatively as Pyrrha points out his little insecurities. Even if she was trying to be considerate, it irked him for some reason.]

Yeah, maybe...

[He says nothing else as he continues to follow Pyrrha.]

[Seeing how irritated Nero still is, Pyrrha remains mostly silent as she walks the remainder of the way to her door. Taking a moment to nervously exhale, the blonde eventually raises a hand to give the door a light knock before entering.] Link?

[She calls] I'm coming in.... [Pushing the door open, she takes a quick peek inside before opening it up all the way.]

He's not here... [The girl sounds visibly relieved at that. She politely gestures Nero inside; standing at the door so that she can close it behind them.] Please.

[Their room is decent enough in size; two separate bunk beds pushed somewhat closely together on one side of the room. On the other side were a couple of shelves and cabinets, as well as a small table and chairs that had been "borrowed" from the cupcake room. It was pleasant enough, though not put together in any flashy way.]

We... haven't had much time to decorate yet, so... [Ah; she's actually a bit embarrassed about that. Perhaps if she knew that they'd have company, Pyrrha could have at least gotten some flowers or something to set at the table....]

[Upon entering the room and seeing it empty, Nero sucks in a small, relieved sigh. The room itself was nothing special, but better than the roof he'd been spending his time on before.]

It's fine. I was already sick of unnecessary decorations filling up every room I walked into.

[He takes a few more steps in, but seems far from actually making himself at home.] Not bad for two people...

[Pyrrha closes the door after the two enter; taking a few steps inside.] Oh...

[Nodding.] I think it's more than enough. ...Well, I suppose that neither of us need much space anyway... -we're both used to making due with very little, after all.

.... [A bit of an awkward pause.] How are you feeling now? Do you... want me to get you anything to eat? Or would you like to lay down for a while, maybe..?

If there's anything you need... I'll try my best to help you.

[Nero continues to stand uncomfortably near the doorway, his brow furrowed.]

Just fine. [He still has his arms crossed, however.]

I'm not hungry--which bed is free? [Nero quickly cuts to the chase, just wanting to end this awkwardness as soon as possible.]

[Admittedly she still wanted to talk about what got him so upset. But it's quite obvious that Nero isn't in a speaking mood and likely wont be opening up about it any time soon. Whatever the issue is, Nero obviously needs a little time to put it behind himself.] Er-

Well, technically they're both free... [Gesturing] I usually sleep in this one, but there are two beds attached together, so...

[Nero looks between the two beds, mind turning over his choices. Did he sleep on the top bunk of a stranger, or Pyrrha?]

[He made his way to Pyrrha's bed and pulled himself up to the top bunk, barely using the steps. Once he's up there, Nero pulls off his sword, holsters, and even his coat to hang them over one of the bedposts.

While he looked a bit relieved to get a chance to take all that weight off him, there was now the fact that without his coat his Devil Bringer was fully exposed.]

I'm just going to take a quick nap. [Nero looks down at her, his legs hanging over the edge of the bed.]

If your roommate...whoever, comes back, just wake me up. I'll leave.

...It's fine. You can rest here for as long as you need to. I'm sure he wouldn't mind...

[-er.]

[For a moment, Pyrrha second-guesses her own words, as she looks to Nero's exposed demonic arm. ...If he saw that... WOULD Link mind...?]

[Suddenly, the girl isn't so sure. From past experience, Pyrrha knows that people's attitudes tend to change rather quickly the moment they suspect that a "troublesome" person is present. Of course, she'd like to believe that Link is different... But can she guarantee that? ...And furthermore- Can she guarantee that Nero WONT be troublesome?]

[Oh gosh. There are too many factors to consider here... But... if Pyrrha is really dedicated to forming a real friendship with Nero... She supposes... that she'll just have to trust him. And perhaps she should also trust that Link wouldn't turn a person away just because they're... different.]

[...This is all, of course, much easier said than done. But Pyrrha steels her nerves; hoping that fate will be kinder to her here than it has previously been in the past.] But um...

...If you want... I'll do as you wish.

I'd rather not stick around.

[With that settled Nero lays down on his side to face the wall, pulling the blanket up over his shoulders to try and get some rest.

If only it were that easy, but he just can't seem to relax knowing Pyrrha's right there, awake, and that her roommate my walk in at any second.

At best, he's comfortably staring at the wall, occasionally resting his eyes.]

...I understand. [Can't say she wouldn't feel the same way, honestly.]

[Pyrrha walks over to the other side of the room; not really knowing what to do. Would it be more polite to sit outside the door as Nero rests? ...But that would be weird. Unfortunately, they don't have much in terms of entertainment for their room just yet. Perhaps she should try and find some books, or something...]

[Eventually, an hour or so passes and Pyrrha is seated at the table- across from where Nero seems to have actually fallen asleep now. She rests her head in one hand, and honestly the girl almost begins to doze off herself.]

[It's around that time that Link bursts into the room, smelling of the sea, and hurries excitedly over to the table Pyrrha was starting to doze off at. With Nero on the top bunk mostly covered by a blanket, Link doesn't even notice his presence.]

Pyrrha! Look what I got!

[He dumps a sack on the table, which opens a bit at the top to reveal a bunch of different types of dead fish. The smell is pretty strong, but Link doesn't seem bothered by it.]

I went fishing at the beach. It'd be nice to cook these up instead of eating what's in the cafeteria for a change, wouldn't it?

-! [Pyrrha's head nearly falls as she's suddenly snapped back into full alertness; eyes opening wide as Link bursts into the room and sets a large bag down in front of her face. ...A large sack of strong-smelling fish, no doubt. Well- she's certainly awake now,]

O-oh..! That's- er... [...That's... really impressive, actually. You'd think Link had an entire crew of fisherman working with him to catch this many. And indeed, the thought of having more decent food to eat IS rather appealing. But uh...]

[Pyrrha stands up to her feet; looking guiltily over to where Nero had been resting... -before Links rather loud entrance, anyway.]

Um. ...He's here. [Perhaps her warning is a bit late.]

[Nero's woken up by Link's sudden entrance, and he nearly falls off the bed by how fast he jumps to sit up in it. His hair is mused and sticking up in places, and he shoots Pyrrha a betrayed leer at her "warning".

Really, he should have known better.]

I noticed. [Nero grabs his coat and quickly throws it on along with his sword and holsters. It's not quite fast enough to completely block his Devil Bringer from sight if Link looks over, though.]

[He doesn't have time to question Pyrrha's nervousness, as his attention is drawn to the other person in the room. Link does indeed catch a glimpse of the Devil Bringer, but doesn't reach for a weapon. Although he's startled, it's easy enough to assume this is Pyrrha friend or she wouldn't have been so calm about his presence.]

Oh... sorry about that! I didn't realize we had company.

[He quickly closes the sack of fish, then gets a better look at the stranger. Whatever that was on his arm Link can't see anymore, but he does take in the strange looking clothes.]

There's plenty of fish to share.

[Pyrrha shrinks away slightly at Nero's glare.] I tried t--

[Cutting herself off as Nero gets up and begins to dress, Pyrrha feels a sudden wave of nervousness. Did- did Link get a look at Nero's arm...? As if to HOPEFULLY distract from this, Pyrrha suddenly speaks up.] U-um...!

Link- this is Nero; Nero- this is Link. [She looks to her roommate.] He's a... [Pause.] ...friend of mine. [Self-proclaimed friend, but-]

[The girl pauses as Link offers to share a meal. Indeed, it would be very rude not to offer Nero something to eat now that he is their guest of sorts. Perhaps it's partially thanks to her former life as a maid, but Pyrrha would certainly feel improper and ashamed to have company visit and leave without even so much as a bite to eat...] Er, yes...

If you're hungry now, you're welcomed to eat with us, Nero..

[Nero's wholehearted glaring at Pyrrha subsides as his gaze shifts to Link at the offer of food.

He raises an eyebrow, looking back to Link. Her roommate seemed tolerable enough, and around his age. That was a nice change from what he was used to.]

Nice hat. [Nero jumps down from the top bunk and casually waltzes over to the two of them. The glowing blue fingers of his hands are visible beneath the cuff of his jacket.]

Well... [He reaches up, stretching to wake himself from his nap and yawning.]

I know Pyrrha can cook, so who am I to refuse? Especially when my only other option is that cafeteria woman's slop.

[the strange hand doesn't really bother him. As someone who has befriended all sorts of different beings who often have very different appearances, a little thing like that isn't going to give him pause.]

Nice to meet you.

[He smiles slightly at the compliment to his hat. It is a nice hat, isn't it?]

Thank you. [Nodding eagerly, Link grabs the sack and starts off into the hallway. It hadn't been easy to catch all these fish, and he really wants to cook them and have a nice meal. Hopefully he caught something tasty.]

Then let's go!

[Really? Already..?]

[Knowing Nero enough to not miss his sarcasm, it's Pyrrha's turn to shoot him a bit of a glare once Link's back is turned. She chooses to refrain from comment only because her roommate may be within earshot, but hopefully the look will be enough for Nero to be more mindful of his tone. After all, now that Pyrrha has introduced Nero as her friend and invited him over, he is partially her 'responsibility'. Not only that, he may serve as a sort of reflection of herself to Link...]

[The thought in itself is... mildly unsettling.]

Yes... let's. [The Grecian turns away from Nero after that brief moment of silent resentment; going to follow her roommate down the hall.]
