[ Rare is it for Rin to use the terminals, but when she does her skill with it is anything but decent. Her typing is usually off, so when she uses video early this morning, it's only natural that it catches a a brief glimpse of her. Most of her head is clipped off by the edges of the camera, but she doesn't bother to move into position properly. Behind her mostly is an empty hallway, void of any life (human and monster) surprisingly. ]

Some of you have items that were damaged. [ A simple phrase, but she comes off as awkward in saying it. ] From the weather.

I'll try to help you with them. [ A pause, then: ] With restoration, that is. I might be able to assist, but don't get your hopes up. I'll decide when we meet face-to-face if it's something I want to do or not.

It'll cost you more than likely. [ It wont, but if she comes off too charitable in public, who knows what people might ask of her next. ] We can discuss that in person. It'd be scandalous to invite you to my room to personally discuss it, so think of another place we can meet up.

Okay?

I would like to take up on your offer. You don't mind meeting in the library on the third floor?

[angramaintsu]

[ Honestly, she wasn't expecting a response. So when one does come in, it takes her by surprise. Enough to be seen in a single eye widening and the way her lips pucker up in thought. ]

Really?

[evokingfool]

[He nods, before slightly tilting his head and give her a curious look.]

Really. Is that a problem?

[angramaintsu]

I just didn't think anyone would take me seriously.

[ Normally she makes an ass of herself at times like this, so it's just a bit surprising. ]

Unless this is some kind of twisted joke. I won't forgive you if it is.

[evokingfool]

[He shake his head.]

No, it's not a joke. I saw your offer and decided to accept it, that's all.

[If it's a joke from her, well, at least he tried.]

[angramaintsu]

Oh.

[ So he really was serious. ] Yeah, fine. I did want to try it just to practice my magecraft a little.

[evokingfool]

[Well, this is the first time they met. Minato wouldn't start joking around until he get to know her more.

But that's getting ahead of himself.]

Do you want to meet now?

[fionnuisce]

That's strangely thoughtful of you.

[angramaintsu]

Yeah, I guess that I do. It isn't as though anyone else is going to answer this stupid offer.

[ How wrong she is. ] The library, right?

[angramaintsu]

I'm a strangely thoughtful person.

[ Wait a second. ] That's not what I meant. I just wanted to make fun of you.

[fionnuisce]

I don't know, that sounded fairly accurate to me.

[angramaintsu]

You're the one picking on someone younger than you over this stupid computer. Do you really have any say on what's strange or not?

[fionnuisce]

If I was picking on you, I have no doubt that you'd know it.

[angramaintsu]

Then what's with the remark about me being thoughtful? Find it weird that a magus is willing to use their services in a tower in order to improve their reputation here?

[fionnuisce]

Frankly, it's a little weird. Maybe not so much coming from you, but still weird.

[angramaintsu]

That's because I'm a productive member of society who contributes where she can.

[ So sarcastic. ]

[fionnuisce]

You're far from heartless, but the philanthropic gesture is a bit unexpected.

[angramaintsu]

I want to see if I can still do it.

[ That might have been a bit more personal than she should have let on, so she's quick to follow it up with something else. ]

Besides, repairing some loser's prized possession means they'll owe me. Someday I might have to rely on a favor from someone else, this tower does that you know. Changes people at will.

[fionnuisce]

Aaaaand there's the catch, of course. Although I can't really fault you for that much.

[angramaintsu]

You got something broken that you can't fix or something?

[ Why does it matter to him? Slightly vexing, she'll manage to keep her anger in check for now. ]

I figured you might have been able to take care of your own stuff, but maybe my confidence in your abilities is a stretch.

[fionnuisce]

Oh, no. I only answered because I was a little surprised you were acting so nice.

[angramaintsu]

That's because I'm a nice girl.

[ Proceed laughing now. ]

[fionnuisce]

[as predicted, you're getting laughed at]

[angramaintsu]

That wasn't a joke...

[ She's actually quite offended by this. Do a nice thing, get laughed at.

THIS IS WHY SHE'S NEVER NICE???? ]

[fionnuisce]

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That was a little cruel of me.
