Invasion of the Anzens

Who: Some Anzens & you
When: July 29
Where: Dorms
What: just friendly people being good neighbors
Warnings: N/A

[ Knock knock, open up, there is some number of Anzens at your door.

A pretty lady in sky blue smiles and waves. ]

Good evening. Hopefully this isn't a bad time? Enough time has passed that we figured it was a good idea to check in and make proper introductions.

You'll have to forgive the lack of housewarming gift. We're a bit shorthanded at the moment, which I'm sure you can relate to.


[ From behind her peers a perfectly average guy with tousled hair dressed in sky blue slacks. He gives a friendly wave! ]

We did think about it, though.

[She blinks, and looks away a little awkwardly.]

Well. I guess I still do, probably.

[She grimaces.]

I used to be really good at it, but then I... took a break from classes for a little while. It's been kind of tough to remember how.

[It's been kind of tough to go back to doing something she used to excel at, when she's the worst of the class now.]

[ah. . . so it's like that, is it?]

Not everything is "muscle memory" like people promise it will be, is it?

[an understanding smile]

Practice will help, but. . . it must be hard to make yourself practice when you feel like should be better at it.

Yeah, it's not.

[She frowns.]

And when everyone else has improved so much more than you ever thought they could've. In just two years.

[. . .]

Does it make you feel like you're not good enough?

[Both of her eyebrows arch at that.]

I know I'm not. Not yet.

But I'll keep working at it. Because I'm going to be an artist.

[heh]

With an attitude like that, I don't doubt you for a second.

... Yeah. Good.

[He shouldn't, is what she wants to say with her tone.

But... really, she's just... glad for any encouragement, even if she knows she shouldn't need it.

...]


Anyway. I'm tired, so I'm going to go rest. I'm sure everyone else is happy to entertain you guys.

[everyone needs encouragement, Ena!]

Ah-- right. I won't keep you.

[she does look pretty sleep-deprived, and he was being honest about not sticking around long!]

Thanks for your hospitality, Boton. I hope you get some proper rest soon.

... Yeah. Thanks. Talk to you later.

[And off she goes to her room! Peace out, Edamura.]
