Was this worse than having attention on him? Ian couldn't tell.
"Greetings." he responded carefully limping over to another chair slightly behind so Gallen couldn't see. "I don't believe we've met." He didn't want to interrupt the movie, but he didn't want to completely startle the man with his appearance.

New RP
Poking his head in, he looked around.
"Empty. I guess we get this to ourselves, huh?" He looked down at Reuben, who ignored him and ran into the room. Laughing, Lucas followed. He had kind of hoped to find someone around, but it wasn't a problem. He still had Reuben to keep him company.
Lucas couldn't believe the selection of movies and shows it had in it's library. It was like a video store. Curious to see what was on the other side, he started browsing through the book selection. While Lucas explored, Reuben also wandered around the room, sniffing everything. He even ate stale popcorn he found under a table.

Sayuri wasnt sure how or why she'd ended up in this part of the complex, but she hadnt been able to bear staring at the walls of her Duplex any longer. The echoes of Sabin's angry words still rang in her mind, and she moved around listlessly for her, walking around the public buildings before winding up in this room.
She'd only ever seen one small television in her life, and was taken aback by the size of the screen that dominated the wall at the end of the room. It was only a momentary distraction and she sunk again, twitching at the sleeves of her plain blue kimono, her un-made up face showing her sorrow for once. She hadnt wanted to wear a mask, and so her pale cheeks and reddened eyes were displayed for all to see.
A noise captured her attention; a man was moving about the room, and a dog accompanied him. She had been that wrapped up that she hadnt noticed him? She padded forwards, her geta clicking a little on the floor, her tail didnt need to be held against her body this time, it was drooped down, the bump it made virtually hidden by the bulk of her kimono and the knot of her obi.
'Hello,' she said quietly as she neared him.

Lucas, also, had not noticed Sayuri's entrance at first. The magazine he held in his hands hands had stolen his attention. It had been weeks since he'd read something new.
It was when he heard her footsteps that he turned, moments before she spoke. Reuben had noticed the woman a bit earlier and walked over to check her out, sniffing at her kimono.
Smiling, Lucas stepped forward. "Hi! I'm Lucas." He was about to ask for her name when he noticed her eyes, red from crying, and the downcast look on her face. "Are you all right?"

Sayuri would have been more surprised about Lucas's appearance had he been the first Islander she had met. As it was, his changes seemed pretty mild to her now and she forced a smile, looking down at the dog sniffing at her. She bowed a little, straightening and introducing herself.
'Sayuri,' she shook her head.
'I am,' she pressed a hand to the left side of her chest.
'I have heart hurt.' she said in a small voice.

'Heart hurt'? Did she mean some physical ailment or had her heart been hurt emotionally? He was going with the latter.
"I'm sorry," he sat the magazine he was holding down on a shelf and tried to shoo Reuben, who was still poking his nose at Sayuri. "Can I do anything for you?"

'Yes,' she knelt next to the dog, holding her hand out to it so he could sniff it.
'My heart hurt..he made..' she stopped, not wanting to talk about Sabin specifically as it would go against who she was but just wanting company.
'I do not think you can do thing about it,' she dabbed her eyes with her kimono sleeve.
'Sankyu for asking.'

Reuben sniffed her offered hand, then moved toward her face now that it was closer and sniffed and licked it.
Lucas was sure he had a kleenex in his bag and rummaged for it, but came up with nothing. Kneeling down in front of her, he pat Reuben's back. "He made your heart hurt?" He wanted to ask who, but it seemed like she did not want to name him. Even if she did, Lucas doubted he'd even know who she meant. There were still so many people he did not know on the island. "Do you want to talk about it?"

A giggle escaped as Reuben licked her face, and she stroked Reubens head, scratching behind his ears. She dropped her head when Lucas knelt down next to her, her face hot with mortification that she was breaking down in front of a virtual stranger.
'I do not want say name,' she said after a while, looking at him again.
'Is dog yours?' she asked, skirting the question.

"You don't have to say his name if you don't want. I probably wouldn't know him anyway. But yeah, I can understand. You just met me." He smiled pleasantly. "Just... well, if you want to talk, I'm here to listen."
He scratched Reuben's back while the dog continued to look to Sayuri for more petting and attention. "His name is Reuben. And he belongs to someone else named Emelyn. His owner... she is not well, so I'm watching him while the labs are taking care of her."

'You are kind,' Sayuri looked mostly at the dog, continuing to scritch behind the animal's ears.
'If I want talk, I will remember you listen.'
She smiled properly this time, gratefully at Lucas.
'I hope your friend is better soon.'
She wondered if Sabin would be the one looking after the Emelyn-owner. Treacherous thoughts...she didnt want to think about her Danna because it just made her more upset. She stood again, her legs starting to complain a little from being in that position.
'Did you come to watch?' she nodded towards the tv screen.

"Thank you." He smiled, also wishing for the same.
"I'm not sure what I was going to do here. I'd just never been here before and decided to check it out." He looked over his shoulder and gestured to the shelves. "I was just looking over their library when you showed up." He turned back to her. "Don't let me stop you from watching something."
Reuben continued to walk around Sayuri, hoping and waiting for more attention.

'I have not been here before as well.' Sayuri cast a glance over the shelves.
'A..friend,' she said the word with a pained expression.
'Said that there was film I should see. Stah-ah Wars I think it is called.' she smiled at Reuben, leaning and patting the dogs head before looking at Lucas.
'Is that film good. You seen?'
