Shouko Hiirigizawa lifted herself out of the somewhat uncomfortable seat she had planted herself into while she had eaten dinner that evening. Dinner for her consisted of various types of sweets and a mineral injection of her own concoction.
Researching and Observing wasn't the the best of jobs she had, as when she would call it quits for today she would return to her beloved hospital and clinic for the madness she truly craved. But for now....She would deal with this.
She adjusted her lab coat sleeve to cover her arm once more, concealing the bandage which covered the small puncture wound from the needle she used. Quickly, she gathered up her trash and disposed of it in the proper areas; after all if she did not do her part to help keep her environment healthy her brothers, sisters and cousins would die off quicker than the dinosaurs at the ice age.
She shoved the chair she had been using back under the table and grabbed her clipboard, pen and notes and turned to exit the room, hoping for a smooth walk back to Nhadala. Back to her prize.

Kitten and Seveda walked hand in hand down the hallway, swinging their hands between their bodies and humming a tune that the two of them were probably making up there on the spot.
In comparison to the pastel pinks and purples of the girl next to her, Kitten seemed strangely void of colour, minus the strange gold glow about her head. Gray hair and gray eyes behind her glasses was the most colour she wore beside the black tie and shoes and white jacket. They certainly made an odd couple.
So far, Kitten hadn't met any of the other researchers, but that wasn't completely a bad thing. Kitten was feeling rather nervous over her new charge and the last thing she wanted was to run into someone else and have them point out her various, and probably vast, mistakes. As meticulous as the woman can be, she manages to be quite the klutz and scatterbrain at the same time.
Pushing her way into the greenhouse, Kitten paused and pursed her lips slightly as she saw the other woman, but atleast she looked like she was about to leave, so perhaps she wouldn't stay and observe Kitten. It wasn't like the two of them were here for research, they were here for a little bit of fun.
Seveda spent so much time stuck up inside Kitten's room that Kitten just felt bad constantly, so she took Seveda around with her as much as she could. The girl had a wistful look about her, and there was a hint of a smile that seemed to show the dreamy thoughts that continued to tumble about in her head.
"Oh, I'm sorry, are we interrupting anything?" Kitten asked as she stepped away from the door to let Shouko out or otherwise just answer the question.

Shouko looked up from where she was standing and smiled. Great, people...That's the last thing my old a** needs is people. She thought to herself as she quickly collected her thoughts for a response. "No, no. I was simply going to collect Nhadala from her quarters," She stated with pleasant voice, under toned in annoyance. "Ah! I see you have a charge as well. I've not seen either of you here before, are you a new comer?"
Stupid question on her part, of course this woman was new, she didn't recognize her scent around here. Shouko clutched her clipboard to her ivy green colored sweater and awaited her answer, glancing to the new Vale in her usual plesant manner. Though some could say Shouko herself was a new comer as she was rarely ever spotted. She was crafty like that.

Kitten picked up the hint of annoyance in the woman's voice, but she wasn't stupid enough to comment on it. With a bright, almost faked smile Kitten nodded and gave Seveda a squeeze of her hand. "Yes mam, I'm new here, and this is the charge I've been given. Her name's Seveda and she's a beautiful tulipa puchella, aren't you my dear?"
Seveda giggled softly and blushed before shrugging, though it didn't look like she was going to bother speaking up for any reason. She was rather curious about this Nhadala person, wondering if she was like herself, but like before she didn't bother voicing her thoughts.
Kitten nudged Seveda's shoulder with her elbow and peered at the girl, mentally begging her to be polite. In return, Seveda blinked and cant her head to the side before speaking up, "Oh, I'm sorry mam. My name is Seveda and it's my pleasure to meet you."

"Likewise, child, likewise." Shouko murmured. This would be a grand opportunity to see how Nhadala would act with others...She pondered for a moment, I might as well give it a try, great research follows experimentation.
"Say, Seveda was it dear? Would you like to meet another of your kind? Her name is Nhadala. And she is about your age." Shouko smiled, switching on her more sweetened tone hoping to win over the nonchalant Vale.

Seveda perked up considerably. It wasn't that she hadn't looked happier a moment ago, but now she seemed to radiate joy. "A girl my age? Of course...I would love to meet her mam," she practically gushed before blinking and withdrawing a bit with a deep blush on her cheeks that matched her looping hair style. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so loud."
Kitten stiffled a laugh as she watched Seveda get shy once more. Although the girl acted shy a lot, she was actually quite friendly and bright when she opened up to people. Kitten didn't even remember the last time she had seen the shy side of Seveda.
Suddenly Kitten realized that although Seveda had introduced herself to the woman, Kitten had once again lost track of herself and forgotten to introduce herself to the woman. "Oh! I'm very sorry mam. My name is Kitten. I'm very sorry that I didn't introduce myself for you before."

"It's quite alright," Shouko mumbled, scratching the side of her cheek with a finger, "I too forgot to introduce myself. My name is Hiirigizawa Shouko, Ah. Shouko actually....Just call me Shouko." She smiled, extending a hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you Kitten."
Shouko smiled at Seveda once Kitten and her were finished formally exchanging greetings and extended a hand to the young girl herself, "It's also nice to meet you, Seveda....If you'll give me a moment, I can go retrieve Nhadala." She mused, pulling her clipboard otto her side and striding off quickly to retrieve the Vale from her quarters.

With a smile and a nod, Kitten extended her hand to grip Shouko's to shake it. "Just Shouko? Alright, I'm pretty sure I can remember that," she joked with a wink and the hint of soft laughter in her voice.
Seveda, having watched the curious exchange between Kitten and Shouko only managed to, awkwardly, shake Shouko's hand as well. You couldn't really blame her though, the girl hadn't really met anyone, and those she had met didn't bother shaking hands with them. "It's nice to meet you Shouko," she said again, seeming to have forgotten that she'd already exchanged pleasantries.
The two watched Shouko leave before turning to look at each other, both wearing an enthusiastic grin. "Well, this is exciting, isn't it my dear?" asked Kitten, reaching up and brushing some of Seveda's hair back into place and fixing a few of the petals placed in her hair.

Shouko returned approximately 10 minutes later, her clip board under one arm as she helped along a fragile young woman of average height and slender build. The young woman's hair was held in the air unnaturally by what seemed a phantom breeze. Her locks of various pinks swayed from side to side above her and around the front of her face giving off an ethreal essence. Her clothing was completely made of rose petals and ribbon, it was very pretty.
The young woman caught a glimpse of her new aquaintances as they neared and shyly ducked behind Shouko, peeking out from her shoulder at them with curious emerald eyes.
Shouko smiled as she pattered her way with Nhadala back to Kitten and Seveda and stepped aside a moment to keep Nhadala from hiding again and to introduce her, "Kitten. Seveda. This is Nhadala. She is my frail little charge. Nhadala, wave to Kitten and Seveda. This is not a time for rudeness." She spoke sternly.
The teenage Vale lifted a hand gingerly and waved the tips of her fingers at Seveda and Kitten with a shy reluctance, "H-hello Ms.Kitten...Ms.Seveda.."

While Shouko was gone, Kitten went about fixing up Seveda's skirts and frills, adjusting the petals in her hair and combing back a few stray hairs. Sure, she'd just groomed the poor girl moments ago, but Kitten was pretty compulsive with looks, and Seveda didn't seem to mind the pampering her guardian gave her.
Once Shouko returned the two looked up to watch the women enter, catching sight of the girl before she disappeared behind her guardian. That is, until Shouko stepped aside to reveal her once more. The girl wasn't just pretty, she was stunning, simply jaw-dropping in any aspect one might begin to imagine.
Kitten smiled at Nhadala and nodded, lifting a hand as well to return the wave, for she thought it might be almost rude of her at this point to assult her with handshake that seemed at this point unrequired.
Unlike Kitten, Seveda stayed quiet, watching the girl silently before looking back to her side where Kitten stood.
Oh, so that was the game was it? Poor Seveda, always needing to be told when it was proper to do things, otherwise she'd just lose herself to her own thoughts. Thus is the life of a dreamer.
"Hello Nh...Nhadala," replied Seveda cautiously and with the same shy tone that the other vale had used. Despite stumbling over the beginning of the girl's name she managed to make it through without butchering it, which allowed Kitten to sigh in relief.
"It's so nice to meet you Nhadala. Seveda's been hoping there was someone her age hanging about these parts. And even better you're a girl. Now the two of you can talk about all those...girl things, or whatever girls talk about these days."

Nhadala gave a sweet smile, stepping foreward towards Kitten and Seveda inquisitively and spoke in her soft tone, "What're....Girl things?"
Shouko internally groaned as she had never found a need to explain how gender roles had worked and what exactly Nhadala was expected to be interested in. She place da hand on Nhadala's shoulder and gave the girl a small smile, "I'll explain those things to you later on, Nhadala."

Seveda blinked at the question proposed by Nhadala and shook her head, turning to look up at Kitten after a moment. "I don't...I don't know what they are. Kitten, what are girl things?" she asked curiously.
Kitten shared Shouko's internal groan and rolled her eyes. Darnit, she should have known better than to mention that, huh? "Well baby, when you meet guys and stuff, and when you want to talk about doing your hair and dressing yourselfs up and such, those are girls things."
The tulip vale got a confused look on her face now, shaking her head once more. "There aren't any boys and you do my hair and pick out my clothes for me. Why would I talk about stuff like that?"
". . . nevermind sweetheart, I'll try and explain better later, ok?" Talk about a hopeless cause. "Heh, sorry Shouko. I'm afraid Seveda's just...not had as much interaction with others as I would like her to have."

"That's quite alright," She murmured, rubbing her neck abit to get the kink out of it. "Because of running my Hospital, Nhadala doesn't usually get to come out till the wee hours of the night. This is a first for her to be out this early." She looked ot Nhadala and gave her a small smile, and evaluated her a small bit. "She isn't very up-to-date about such girl things. Especially since I don't talk about them much to her...She is mainly book smarts."
Nhadala gave a bright smile as the compliment, or what she thought was a compliment. She lifted a hand and gestured as she began speaking, the wisps of her hair floating gently, "D-Did you know that water isn't an e-element? It's actually a combination of hydrogen and oxygen!"

Kitten placed a hand over her mouth to hide her smile and stifle her laughter, though there really wasn't a reason to be hiding it for it certainly wasn't a mocking laugh. Honestly, Kitten thought the girl was cute the way she boasted about something like her knowledge of water.
"It isn't? What's hydrogen and oxygen?" asked Seveda, flashing a perplexed look. "I don't really like to read," confessed the girl with a bland shrug.
Kitten groumbled to herself and shook her head. "I try my hardest to get this girl to read, or atleast pretend to be interested in reading, but everytime I bring out a book she just doodles all over it. The only thing she'll read is those silly romance novels."
"They aren't silly..." Seveda said with a tinge of hurt in her voice, casting her gaze to the side and blushing from Kitten's off-handed scolding.

Nhadala quirked her head abit at the word, "Romance?", she murmured, not fully understanding the concept of Romance. "What is Romance? Is it edible? Is it a game?" She questioned, looking to Seveda for the answer.
"Eh. Sometimes you can't stop girls from instinctually being girls." Shouko muttered, checking her watch quickly for the time.
