Crimson Snow; Seraphim and Tracy's encounter

Was the answer really that hard to notice? Seraphim was tired, but even so, it still didn't keep her from letting out a soft laugh, her laughter much lighter, almost somewhat pure as compared to her cocky and usually cruel attitude. Tracy's question seemed so obvious, but Seraphim would still answer, beginning to get three plates to put the food on as she replied.

"Is it.. really that hard to figure out?" A bit of optimism appearing to her tired words, Seraphim gave a responce that once again seemed like nothing but the simple truth, like she was surprised Tracy didn't know the answer herself. "We're all human, as much as I hate people sometimes, I couldn't just watch you get hurt or bleed to death. Father would kill me if he found out I did that." She paused for a moment, letting out a sudden, meloncholy sigh, like what she said at the end brought a sadder memory to her. But she managed to shake that off as she begun to put the baon and eggs on the plates, changing the subject too so she got her mind off it. "Besides... you're a lot like me when I was younger."

Tracy now opened her eyes widely. She could see herself in Seraphim like a mirror, as the taller girl could probably see the same in her. The redhead let out a soft sigh and lowered her head, putting her left bare palm on her right arm, on the wound covered by bandages, more precisely.

After a moment, she looked up at the one eyed girl and proudly said. " Can I help you? " She spoke like she actually wanted to help, something new in her life. Even if Seraphim said no, she would take one of the plates, carefully, trying not to break it and make Alison wake up and Seraphim angry.

A soft laugh nearly escaped Seraphim's lips, becoming no more than a brief chuckle as she nodded, letting her do so as Seraphim started to pile the food into the three plates, pointing out to one of the few drawers where the silverwear was. The redhead really was a better person than she gave off, and Seraphim was reminded of how she was when she first found the light back at the church when they took her in. This whole thing felt the same, only the role was reversed, as she was now the person taking in an orphan, rather than being the unfortunate soul who needed guidance.

"Hey... a little later, I was going to give you some pointers perhaps. If you want that is.." Slowly she was waking up at this point, her words a little more vivid by now as she made the offer. She saw potential in Tracy, and she felt that perhaps the Kawaii could really prove to be a powerful asset in the ring with some training.

Tracy nodded, with a simple but not ungrateful smile across her face. " Sure. I guess it wont hurt so....Why not? " She answered back to Seraphim, with and clearly change of voice. Now she was A HELL LOT nicer than before. She never felt this way before, but with these girls, she felt.....safe, like at home.

" Where do I put this plate? " Tracy wondered, looking around to see if she finds a table or something where to eat. If there's no other option, she would gladly sit on the floor and eat right there. A bit of dust never killed anybody, so what could happen if she did?

Well, it seemed that convincing her now was a lot easier than it had been yesterday. She seemed like such a stubborn brat, and now, she was as obediant as a responsible teenage girl, bringing a smile to Seraphim's tired expressions when she heard that responce. She had some plans and ideas for the girl, but that could wait, the one-eyed girl had been too exhausted right now to do much; after all, she wasn't really a morning person, that was for sure.

"Eh... I haven't saved up enough for a good table yet, last payment all went to geting food and the trials for Alison's medicine." Seraphim admitted with a sigh, a pained look on her face as if the whole subject really bothered her. She wasn't good at hiding it either as she grabbed her own plate and Alison's, heading to the main room. There, she would sit on her bed to eat, but not without waking up Alison.

The yellow obsesssed girl had stirred a little in her sleep, waking up slowly as she sat up from her bed, instinctively reaching for her glasses on the small dresser beside her bed and putting them on. As she threw the blankets off her, she was seen wearing no more than a gray bra and panties, hugging her thin frame tightly, and revealing tat along her entire body, and even her underwear, she had covered herself with yellow highlighter marks. Though none of this seemed to register to her yet as the half naked girl looked over at Tracy, rubbing her eyes a little before giving a soft giggle, waving slowly at her. "Oooh, heya Tracy-chan, good-morning~" She said with a clearly cheerful tone, softly squeeing a little when she saw Seraphim hand her breakfast which she would dig right into, her table manners not exactly the best it would seem.

Tracy could easily understand what Seraphim was saying. It was something a bit hard to keep up two persons when only one is able to work. She had to do the same for herself and her little brother, until he died when he was 8. But that's another story...And now that she was thinking about it, a table wasnt indispensable for life. After all, she never had a table where to eat.

The kawaii red head sat on the floor and placed her plate right in front of her, crossing her legs and waving nicely at Allison when she woke up. " Hiya, Alison. " She said with a nice tune of voice as she saw the half naked girl starting to eat like an animal, remind her of herself. And without losing a second more, she lowered her head and attacked her food, only with her bare hands, even if it was a bit hot.

'Am I the only person here that eats civily?' A tiny sweatdrop came from the corner of Seraphim's brow when she saw Tracy's tablemanners clearly lacking, similiar to Alison as the sounds and site of them scarfing down there food was just a little funny to see. In fact, she couldn't help but give a soft chuckle at the site, rolling her single eye before she too sat at the edge of her bed, actually taking utensils to eat. "You're going to make a mess and-... nevermind." Seraphim didn't even see a point in argueing this, it was two against one, and Alison never listened anyway. So, with a sigh, she started to eat, her own cooking always having a good, homely taste to it. The ingrediants may not have been the best, and she may have only had enough money for basic, store brand foods, but Seraphim's cooking had a very comforting taste that warmed the soul, like she put her heart into whatever she cooked.

Alison had been devouring the food just as quickly as Tracy had. The first thing she had done though was cut the eggs to smear the yellow yolk all over her plate, giggiling softly to herself as she turned the plate yellow from doing this, only then eating when she finished. For a moment, she looked over at Tracy, a goofy grin on her lips as a piece of bacon was hanging from her mouth, and she asked a question on her mind, probably the one of many. She always felt the need to know all about new people, and since this girl was staying here like Seraphim said, she wanted to know her a little better. "Tracy-chan? Where is your home? Seraphy-chan said you could stay here, but wouldn't your mommy and daddy worry about you?"

Tracy didnt evne pay attention to Seraphim's interruption, feeling to hungry to even think about what the one eyed girl just said. It was something about making a mess and....Anyway, she forgot. The only thing she was thinking of right now was that Seraphim prepared the best breakfast she ever ate in her entire life.

" Huh? What is it, Alison? " Tracy wondered when the girl covered in yellow highlighter marks interrupted her breakfast. And then,the girl's question came at her. She didnt know how to express that her parents were cats and that they have been stomped to death without making her feel sad. She needed to come up with something.

"Ehhmmm....My parents are out in a trip around the world....I guess they wont come back anytime soon...And so...they allow me to go to my friends' houses to sleep." Maybe it wasnt the excuse in the world, but she just hoped it could fool Alison.

There was nothing but a short sigh from Seraphim when she heard Tracy's answer. She knew part of the truth, the girl was a loner like she was and didn't have parents, it wasn't hard to tell. Tracy may have constantly acted like she was fine without them, but after yesterday.... Seraphim was unconvinced. The girl acted suicidal, desired fights as much as Seraphim often had, ate like she hadn't had a good meal in weeks, and was on her own; she needed a place to stay right now.

Alison on the other hand quickly nodded, a big smile on her face. "Ooooh, okays! I hope they get back safely. I wanna meet them some day~" Another soft laugh came from the girl, blissfully unaware of the blantent lie that was said. It seemed that the girl was easy to convince, and always liked looking at things from a positive point of view.

Which of course, was something that always bothered Seraphim, ausing her to mutter under her breath and roll her eye at Alison's responce. [size=85:3t9iln79]"So incompetant..." She said before going back to finish her food, watching the rest of the conversation that took place.

"So how long have you and Seraphy-chan been friends then? She never mentioned you before." A strong interest in Alison's words as the smile never left her face, Alison didn't stop with the questions, and seemed like she was going to continue on with them for some time.

Tracy rubbed the back of her head, quite relieved that Alison actually bought her lie. Though she didnt care to lie to other people, it was a little hard to lie at this girl. She had some innocense that no one else showed her before. " Hehehe.... Yeah..I hope so too..." She added with a soft laugh at the end.

The kawaii red head turned just for a second to look at Seraphim. She knew the truth, but she didnt say anything....Maybe it was the best. And then...Alison's second question came. This time, Tracy had anything to answer and knowing that she may commit a mistake, she secretly asked Seraphim for some help... " Hmm.... -Tracy was tapping her chin- I dont know...How long has it been, Seraphy? We've been through so much that I dont remember...." Tracy found herself calling the one eyed girl 'Seraphy'. Strange nickname, but it surely was appropiate to call Seraphim as long as she is in front of Alison.
