[Chika blinks as she catches sight of someone that she hadn't really noticed much before, but seemed familiar to her. It took her a few moments to realize it, but well, this woman was someone that she talked to before over the communicators once. She forces a smile to her lips and walks over to her, sitting down on the bench next to the other girl.]

It's been a while since I've seen you around. How've you been?

[morecowbell]

[Nanami kind of glances at a nearby bench that was empty when Chika sits next to her. She's really terrible at noticing or remembering other girls unless they were really important or posed some sort of threat to her. She's working on that... So when Chika speaks Nanami gives her a slightly confused look.]

Um...

[scatterflower]

[Chika let out a nervous giggle.]

I guess that question did come out of nowhere, didn't it. We've only talked once over the network before. Back when Zero and I became partners.

[morecowbell]

[And the lights go on.]

Oh! Yes, the robot guy. I'm afraid I've forgotten your name.

[scatterflower]

[Chika let out a bit of a bitter chuckle at that.]

Yeah. I guess that figures. I never did get the time to contact you again. My name's Chika.

[morecowbell]

[She's kind of oblivious to the bitterness in that chuckle]

Nanami, it's nice to meet you in person, Miss Chika. [she nods politely]

[scatterflower]

[That's alright. She's not bitter at you forgetting.]

It's nice to meet you in person too... umm... Nanami-san, right?

[morecowbell]

[She nods again. After an uncomfortable pause she figures she ought to say something]

So what brings you to morning training this morning?

[scatterflower]

[Chika sighs.]

Well, I come here a lot of the time. But now it's even more important than ever...

BREW just sent Zero home yesterday.

[morecowbell]

Huh? Oh... [It takes a moment to settle in.] I'm sorry to hear that. [Nanami had only spoken to him a handful of times but he was the one who first showed her how to partially transform.]

[scatterflower]

[Chika nods.]

Thanks... It figures BREW would do it right when I actually start having more free time to go on missions though.

[She shakes her head suddenly though.]

But well, moping around isn't going to do any good. I doubt he'd want me to do that anyway.

[morecowbell]

What do you do that keeps you so busy?

[scatterflower]

Work mostly. I'm the manager at Triple A, and until recently we were ridiculously short on staff.

[morecowbell]

What's Triple A?

[She's pretty bad at keeping up on the network so she might have missed any advertisements]

[scatterflower]

[Chika giggled. Well, okay, she couldn't expect everyone to know what it was.]

It's the video game arcade.

[morecowbell]

Oh. [It's another one of those nerds, she seems to run into a lot of those around here. She doesn't want to press the matter of Zero getting sent home (last time she did something like that she got yelled at) but Nanami was genuinely curious about how the other would move on]

What will you do now that he's gone?

[scatterflower]

[Chika shrugs, leaning back a bit on the bench.]

Try to find another partner, I guess. I mean, before him I used to temp partner with people all the time. I can go back to doing that for a while, until I find someone I work with pretty well.

[morecowbell]

That would probably be for the best. I know Shibusen wants people to stick with one partner but it's a little difficult when BREW keeps sending people back at random.

[scatterflower]

Yeah...

I mean, I know that they can't control BREW, but it makes things way too difficult for us here.

[morecowbell]

I try not to get too attached to anyone, it makes things easier in the long run.

[Try being the key word here...]

[scatterflower]

Yeah... If only I could ever manage to do that.

[Not getting close to people was... hard for her. Really, really hard.]

[morecowbell]

[Closing herself off a little is probably also hindering her ability to resonate really well with her partners.

She's not sure what to say to Chika so she just taps a foot a little while overlooking the training area]

[scatterflower]

[Chika forces a smile, turning back over to Nanami.]

I guess we should probably get back to training, shouldn't we?

[morecowbell]

[She kind of sighs a little bit pushing herself up off the bench]

I suppose it wouldn't do to sit on the bench all morning. [She offers a small smile in return]

[scatterflower]

Nope. Kinda defeats the whole purpose of being here.
