A Night for the Birds (Introducing Hummingbird)

"Dont worry,Im not all that mad." Xuan said,giving Hiro a warm smile. "You just had to ask,thats all." She smiles and opens her arms wide to try and receive a hug from Hiro. "M-My name is Xuan Lee.As you can see,I am Junko's um...F-Friend." She felt kind of awkward now.Xuan had no idea what to say,really...

Hiro would hug Xuan as she said, "I'm glad to meet you, Xuan. Thanks for taking care of my big sister."

Junko would then ask, "Hey, Hiro? Do you want to join us for dinner?"

Hiro would nod and say, "I wouldn't miss it. I've been very hungry since I found this area."

She found that Hiro's hug was tight. "U-Ugh.G-Good to meet you."

It was better,but it was still odd.Now,she was going to have dinner with the girl that just broke into her house.But,it was getting better. "I like your hair,Hiro." Xuan comments. "I wish I could grow it out to that sort of length."

"Oh, you do? Really?" Hiro would stroke her own hair between her fingers as she would rise up. To grow hair at my length though isn't easy. You need to have commitment to not attend a haircut every now and them and always keep it straightened." She then reached into her pocket and put on her glasses.

Junko would then say, "I can make us noodles or spaghetti."

"I wouldnt be able to manage all of that....It would drive me crazy!" Xuan says back,giving Hiro a small nervous chuckle after. "I have pasta here,if thats what you think is best to make." Xuan made a surprised face when she saw Hiro put on her glasses. "How come you werent wearing those before? Dont you need them to see?"

"Don't worry, it won't take long." And with that Junko went on ahead to fix up some spaghetti and meatballs for the girls. It would take only at least 30-45 minutes since she has made this recipe many times before.

Hiro would giggle as she said, "Well, I've been practicing my fighting without these for quite a while and it's hard to keep these on when doing flips and such. I've yet to get on some alternative specs to keep on my face while airborne."

"Oh,that makes sense.Junko,you'll find the pasta in the cabinet." Xuan begins to calm down from that few moments ago where the three girls were at each other's neck.She sat down on her couch while Junko went away to begin cooking.The thief shifts around a bit uncomfortably,not really sure what to say or to talk about with Hiro,the girl before her.

"Okay, thanks!" called out Junko. "I'll have dinner ready before 30 minutes is up."

Hiro would see Xuan and sat down on another couch close to her as she said, "So, uhh, can you tell me a little about yourself, Xuan? I want to know more about the friends who took care of Junko."

The thief blushes and looks away. "W-Well,I dont know where to start." Xuan bit her lip. "I am a uh,well I used to be a thief for hire by the Thieve's Guild.There,I was taught how to sneak,and use weapons and all sorts of things." She looked back to Hiro. "But you.....You got right by me! And without me even noticing." She both commented and praised.

Hiro was quite intrigued that this other girl seemed to match the same standards that both she and Junko had. "The Thieves Guild, eh? Well, thanks for the compliment, though I feel that your guild might be a good place where I can home in my skills." The conversation seemed to be going well for the two girls so far and it got their mind off of food for a while as Junko kept on cooking with 15 minutes to go before serving.

Then Hiro would add, "Umm, if you don't mind me asking, was being a thief needed to be approved by your parents or did you just make the choice yourself?" Apparently, Hiro didn't know about Xuan's past, so hearing it may shock her.
