[PRP] Midnight Snack Time (Nellie x Cain) [Fin]

[Cheekiebirdiee]

Mist huh, didn't Dakota go into that? Was he, maybe he was moon. Cain didn't really keep track but he could of sworn he had recently ran into a mist of some kind. "Would you consider switching rooms?" The question was posed as the room number was given, not a breath in between. Yeah he was willing to try, after all his b***h sister had a nice room, he should have one too.

A rub of hands together and he ridded the crumbs that had clung on. "No. I'm fine, like I said before you should take it easy on the jam. It's not only bad for your teeth but sugar can give you nightmares." And she didn't look like the type that could handle those as it was. Stepping away for a moment Cain lingered at the door, glancing back to Nellie with a look of contemplation. "Hm."

Blinking at Cain's posed question on the subject of swapping rooms, Nellie simply gave the Life trainee a small polite smile and shook her head. "Afraid not. Sorry..." The Mist considered herself lucky really to have a room on the first floor assigned to her when so many other trainees who had awaken around the same time as her got a basement room instead. Although it wasn't anywhere near the size of her room back before she joined Deus, it at least had a window and that helped considerably in making it less claustrophobic given the small space available.

After spreading the peanut butter on the slice of toast that was meant for Cain, Nellie set it down on the plate that was nearer to Cain, closing the lid on the jar before returning her attention to the remaining slice that was meant for her. "Nellie will just halve the amount of jam on this one then." The Life trainee seemed to mean well with his words plus she didn't want to come across as being outright rude by disregarding his advice entirely.

Super duper late tag... ;;

 

[Cheekiebirdiee]

Damn. Well at least he had tried. A shrug came for the sorry and he rolled his shoulders out to relax. There wasn't anything he saw need to apologize for but whatever. As the toast was made Cain moved back towards the girl, reaching and drawling the piece up without taking the plate. "Do as you want. It was just a warning." Another shrug and he took a big bite of the toast, peanut butter clinging to the side of a freckled cheek afterwords.

"Mmm..." Nellie didn't see how having her toast without anything on it in the light of Cain's well-intended warning would make it palatable so she went ahead with what she originally had in mind, spreading the jam on only half of the already toasted slice of bread before folding it.

Closing the lid on the jar of jam, she picked the prepared toast up then started munching on it happily, glancing timidly over at the Life trainee and noticing the peanut butter that was on his cheek. She smiled sheepishly then tentatively stretched a hand out towards him, intent on using her index finger to wipe it off for him. "Cain's got peanut butter on the face..."

The touch of her finger startled Cain and for a moment he stared, unsure of what to say. A furrow of brow and the life trainee was blushing and staring down at his toast in annoyance, "thanks, but you didn't need to do that, next time just tell me." A little less grouchy than normal he moved his hand up to brush away the ghost sensation of cold fingers on cheek.

Weird girl, who just touched people?

A glance to Nellie and he cleared his throat, "do you like being here?" Maybe he could make small talk. Besides it wasn't like he was doing anything important at the moment and sleep was still hours away at least for him. And if she was boring, he would leave, it was simple.

Nellie didn't quite see anything wrong or out of sorts with what she just did. It was what was done normally back home, be it for her or the people around her, when such a situation arose so this was the first time that she was being chided sorta and that made her quickly pull her hand back to herself. "Okie. Sorry..." Slipping the finger with the peanut butter into her mouth, she licked it clean before removing it, a pensive expression on her face at the Life hunter's posed question.

"It's okie sorta. Nellie's got nowhere to go so Nellie will try to fit in somehow. Get along with everyone."

She had come to Deus hoping for a new lease of life with friends who, like her, were able to see what was lurking in the shadows but things didn't seem to be working quite the way she wanted them to. While Twitter afforded her a platform to talk to people she didn't know prior without the stress that came with it being face to face, there were people who picked on her unusual form of speech and thought that she was doing it on purpose in order to get herself some attention. Her parents had pulled her out of school and put her in home schooling so that she didn't have to deal with that. But here, she was all alone and going to have to figure out for herself how best to deal with that.

"What about Cain?"

[Cheekiebirdiee]

Did she just lick her finger? He blushed a touch brighter and coughed looking away. Well germs didn't exist here as he was told so he supposed why not? "It's whatever.." Awkwardly he looked over her then back down at his toast. Hm.

< ...Ew...this is painful ARE you trying to flirt? > The witch in his head cackled loudly and he turned a little redder.

"That's a stupid idea. You shouldn't mold yourself around other people. " Cain said while taking another bite and stretching out. Finishing it he brushed away the crumbs on his coat. But he knew the feeling that the words held. It wasn't like the teen had really been wanted back at his own home either.

"I hate it here. I live in a ******** hole and the people are assholes. " He frowned and shrugged at her, "most of the people are assholes." She was ok if weird.

Nellie saw the flush that started from Cain's cheeks and how it spread from them to the rest of his face. She didn't give much thought to it though, oblivious entirely to what it meant and therefore what might have happened to trigger such a reaction in the Life trainee. She took a bite of her toast, a thoughtful look on her face when Cain began to criticise her way of life on Deus.

"Nellie knows that." Looking at him with a ghost of a smile on her face, she shrugged. "But Nellie has no one else here other than her cousin Lilac. Nellie doesn't want to be alone and estranged from everyone on this island when everyone's supposed to be working together." She attempted to rationalise. It didn't matter to her if she had to become someone else entirely so long as what she had been through in the past didn't happen again. She would do everything avail to her to ensure that.

Even though that was what she thought, she still couldn't help the instinctive flinch from the expletives that were used by him to describe Deus and the other hunters. "Does Cain miss home then?" She supposed that not everyone felt the same way as her about having to start life anew on the island. "Does Cain think that Nellie is an a*****e too?"

[Cheekiebirdiee]

This wasn't working out. Nellie was weird and in turn making him feel awkward. Retreat was the only logical option! He bristled slightly and moved a step away from Nellie speaking slowly, "I don't miss home. Not a ******** bit." Then he sighed and started to walk off mumbling softly, "y-you aren't an a*****e.....just weird." Then the life was gone, not waiting to be questioned more or caught by the girl.

He had to leave before things got weirder.

baby_gwing

Hehe he's fleeing Fin ?

 

[baby_gwing]

Nellie couldn't have called Cain back or prevented him from leaving for she was busy finishing up the last of her toast when he spoke of his home and impression of her so far. Not that she would have pursued either options were she able to given that she found nothing out of the ordinary with Cain's intent to retreat to his quarters now that the conversation was over and the Life probably had things that he needed to get back to.

Picking up the plates and transferring them to the sink, she grabbed a tablecloth to wipe the countertop, a small smile on her face as she mulled over what Cain had said. Not an a*****e. Just weird. She could work with that though she couldn't quite figure out what could lift his spirits, make him less angry about being here on Deus versus being back home. Perhaps she could ask him to elaborate on that the next time they ran into each other then.

So cute. xD Fin! <3
