Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mitsu had been spending a quiet day outside reading a book. It was nice to do things outside the dorm now and again. After all, she wasn't at home so she didn't have to be stuck inside like she was there. Turning another page Mitsu looked up as a figure took a seat at a picnic table not far off a basket in her hand. It was only after a thorough inspection of the seat did the ghost sit down. Hadn't she seen the girl in class?

Mitsu peered through her mask at the ghoul a moment longer a curious thought running through her head. Maybe she should say hello? The recent events as of late had left her a little leery but maybe this wouldn't be so bad. The girl didn't give off a sense that she would be harsh, though Mitsu knew all too well to never judge a book by their cover.

Finally her book was closed and Mitsu stood from her seat by the tree and hesitantly made her way over to the ghoul. Light steps took her within just a couple of feet of the picnic table before she paused. "U..umm I..I saw you from over by the tree. I think I had seen you in class? I thought I would come say hello."

"Hello." Mitsu said again, her voice a bit more upbeat now. The ghoul seemed especially nice, Mitsu hadn't expected to be invited to sit. She really just wanted to say hello and see how the ghoul was fairing. Mitsu remembered she had been yelled at by another student before class has started. Not to mention, hadn't she been lost in the reaper dorms?

"Oh, thank you," Mitsu said softly before taking a seat her eyes glancing over the pastries and tea set the ghost set out. It all looked very fancy, like a tea party of sorts. "I..I don't want to interrupt if you are expecting someone else."

"Just us?" The ghoul looked like she was prepared with enough stuff for someone else to join. Or maybe she really didn't mind random company and came prepared. Hearing the plate scoot across the table Mitsu eyed the pastries the ghost was pushing toward her. They smelled nice with a promise that they would be sweet. Carefully Mitsu picked up one but did not bite into it yet.

"I..I'm not sure, what kind of tea do you have? You really don't have to go to the trouble though," She had just randomly showed up there was no reason she had to go out of her way to make her tea. Mitsu was curious though, she liked tea and she could smell other berries, more than what were probably in the pastry. Maybe even a hint of flowers? If she didn't have her mask on smelling would have been a whole lot easier.

"Oh!" Mitsu was getting bad about introductions at times. How rude of her. "My name's Mitsu." Her tone was light as she smiled a bit behind her mask. "It's nice to meet you, Lattice." Mitsu committed the name to memory as well as the face. The ghoul seemed very nice perhaps they could be friends. "Are you fairly new to school still? I think the first time I spotted you was in the reaper dorms." She didn't mention that the girl had appeared lost, after all it had turned out to be a rather random gathering, like they had belonged there anyway.

So it was just them. Mitsu had no problem with that. It gave her a chance to get to know someone new without a lot of other people around to make her nervous. And this ghost ghoul seemed rather calm which made the usual leery side of Mitsu's personality non-existent.

"Ooo, I'll try something with berries if you don't mind." Mitsu liked tea but she had never really had any with berries before. It sounded good though.

To the new statement Mitsu gave a small smile behind her mask. "I've been here for a couple of months and I still get lost so don't feel bad." The lycan's sense of direction was a little skewed at times.

Mitsu gave a short nod of understanding. It was confusing but at the same time, for her the change had been for the better. "It is a little strange at first but it gets better."

Looking to the tea as it was set out in front of her Mitsu lifted the cup carefully to give it a sniff. It smelled nice all on its on. Carefully she moved her mask just enough to have a small sip, though the contents were still rather warm. It was even sweet on its own but that didn't mean Mitsu wasn't intrigued by the container of honey that Lattice had pushed in her direction.

"I have made quite a few friends." The smile was in Mitsu's voice as she reached out for the honey to add a little to her cup. "I didn't have a lot of friends," or any friends really, "At my other school but here its been different. I've met so many wonderful people." Mitsu was rather excited about all the people she had met, it was helping her to slowly grow confidence and not be so closed off. "Have you made any friends yet?" Mitsu asked curiously before taking a sip of her honey sweetened tea.

"I can understand missing your sibling." Mitsu really could. When her brother had gone missing she had been devastated and it had taken her a long time to find a way to deal with it. He had been there all her life and suddenly there was a gap that no one else could really fill. It was almost painful being without the person you consider your family and your best friend.

"I was very close to my brother too," Mitsu said softly, pushing her mask aside just enough to have another sip of tea. It was a little awkward but she managed. "I hope we can be friends as well." There was a smile in her voice even if her mouth couldn't be seen. "I would enjoy that very much."

Since it seemed mutual that they wanted to be friends Mitsu decided that maybe some get to know you questions were in order. Now what were some good get to know you questions? Mitsu had already learned that Lattice had a sister, that she liked tea, she was calm, "Do you have any other family, Lattice?"

There was a pause after Lattice's question, a bit of hesitation before Mitsu finally opened her mouth to speak. "I...I did." It was almost a soft whisper and it was evident by her tone that there was pain associated with her lack of family. Setting the tea cup down lightly Mitsu straightened a bit before trying to speak again. She was doing her best to get passed this, maybe talking about it more would help? "My brother has been gone for a couple of years now. It was tough being separated from him. He was really the only family I had." Though it was still tough. As close as her friends were she wished she had someone truly close that understood her like family did.

"A clan? Is that like a pack?" Mitsu was trying to relate it to terms she understood. Clan was somewhat familiar, she knew it was a group of people that stayed together but were they close like in a pack?
