May 11 23:03:39 <SarahH>	http://fifthsanctum.com/character:catriona-stewart is sitting in the main area having a good read..
May 11 23:14:01 <Knave>	Gloria Gale, late of an elaborate statue garden, enters from the hall. She doesn't wear the robe inside the dorm building anymore, so only a beige shift covers the grey stone flesh as she finds a seat and clambers into it. She casually preens at a platinum strand of hair between thumb and foreclaw, then has the good grace to look uncomfortable with how inhuman her posture is. She seems to be fighting the urge to climb onto the back of the chair.
May 11 23:15:17 <SarahH>	Cat raises blue eyes to the figure and blinks twice. "Hey there." She offers...accent something Northern and friendly.
May 11 23:17:08 <Knave>	"Hey." The voice, under the sound like scraping granite, is light and high, enough of a lingering British accent to be noticed. The glowing amber eyes with their reptilian pupil hover around Cat's head, careful not to meet her gaze by accident, and Gloria's own head bobs around following them.
May 11 23:18:00 <SarahH>	"Ummm...Names Cat...And you are?"
May 11 23:19:05 <Knave>	The throat jerks slightly as a gravelly noise precedes, "Gloria." The corners of the stone maw are stuck in a scowl, and the lips never quite meet.
May 11 23:22:22 <SarahH>	Nice to meet you...Sort of...Can I ask...What's with the not looking at me?" Cat queried and her accent would finally be identifiable...Canadian...Torontonian specifically
May 11 23:23:49 <Knave>	"Wouldn't want to paralyse you." She says with dry seriousness, "Not exactly polite."
May 11 23:26:29 <SarahH>	"No...It's not...Can you...Actually do that...Cuz that sounds actually useful." She smirked...She looks so normal compared to Gloaira it's almost painful...Extra pretty is just that.
May 11 23:27:51 <Knave>	"Yes." Is the grave, slightly irritated answer. Her claws find their way to the edge of her seat, between her knees, gripping it.
May 11 23:32:02 <SarahH>	Cat's eyes close and when they opena agin they look like those of a Lynx as she smells the air. "Am I bothering you by asking about your abilities?"
May 11 23:33:15 <Knave>	"It's fine." She grumbles, casting her eyes down to the space in between them and growing very still.
May 11 23:35:29 <SarahH>	"What's wrong?" Cat asked as she finished her air check and closed her eyes, returning them to nomal.
May 11 23:36:21 <Knave>	"Nothing." The answer isn't perfectly even, touched by irritation trying to mask itself. Her head turns to the left all at once, then she's still again.
May 11 23:40:00 <SarahH>	"Try me...I promise...I'm a noce person and the worst you can do is say to me is 'spider'."
May 11 23:42:44 <Knave>	"I'm fine." She insists again, sound much less fine for the asking, grip tightening on the seat imperceptibly.
May 11 23:50:25 <SarahH>	Cat gave a shrug and nod. "So...Where ya from then?"
May 11 23:52:01 <Knave>	"England, by Pennsylvania." She cocks her head slightly, dismissively, "Nowhere important."
May 11 23:52:47 <SarahH>	"If they matter to you they're important." Cat offered the tidbit casually and with a smile.
May 11 23:54:37 <Knave>	The response might have been a snort, if it had been made with a human nose. What it actually sounded like was a handful of coarse sand being thrown at a wall, "They don't."
May 11 23:56:59 <SarahH>	Cat blinked. "Harsh...Not a fan of where you com from...Can I ask why?"
May 11 23:57:37 <Knave>	She shrugs, laboriously slowly, "Just places I've been. Doesn't matter."
May 11 23:58:08 <SarahH>	"Fair...DO you like it here/"
May 12 00:00:05 <Knave>	Another snail's pace shrug. "I suppose. It's all right." He gaze travels along the floor and up the opposite wall, and then she continues being still.
May 12 00:26:25 <SarahH>	"You're very...um...Tecitrun, aren;t you/"
May 12 00:27:34 <Knave>	"That's one to put it, yeah." Her unblinking gaze passes over Cat's forehead to the opposite wall. One leg fidgets.
May 12 00:27:58 <SarahH>	"Well I could have gone sacrastic and called you verbose."
May 12 00:29:17 <Knave>	"I'm sure it would have delighted me." The movement of her open mouth is really just shifting between various scowls, but it's possible that this one is analogous to a smirk.
May 12 00:30:16 <SarahH>	Cat smirked big. "Fan of sarcasm...One check in the win column for me...Now if you fly a geek flag that'll be check plus."
May 12 00:31:21 <Knave>	Gloria turns her head slowly back to Cat, looking her as straight-on as she dares, gaze on her forehead. As deadpan and humourless as you like, she says "I like birds."
May 12 00:32:02 <SarahH>	"But are you a leaf on the wind?"
May 12 00:33:08 <Knave>	"No." Gloria keeps her stare while she considers saying more, then looks down again to prevent injury.
May 12 00:34:30 <SarahH>	"Boo..." Cat pouted...geek points low...She thought then asked. "Okay...question..What do you do for fun."
May 12 00:35:27 <Knave>	Gloria looks up, taking time even though she's already figured out her standard answer. "I feed birds."
May 12 00:38:31 <SarahH>	"And how is that fun?"
May 12 00:39:49 <Knave>	Gloria considers this genuinely for a few seconds, then looks at Cat's forehead again, "I like birds."
May 12 00:40:55 <SarahH>	"I've gathered that...What kinds are your favourite?"
May 12 00:43:06 <Knave>	"I like pigeons. 'N crows. City birds." She looks off again, at the wall behind Cat.
May 12 00:46:23 <SarahH>	"Crows are cool. Pigeons are just pesky."
May 12 00:47:18 <Knave>	"How?" She turns her head to one side, but doesn't look back at Cat.
May 12 00:49:00 <SarahH>	Crows have a lot of myth surrounding them...Pidgeons are good for little beyond eating and pooping and geing eaten."
May 12 00:51:04 <Knave>	Gloria shrugs her angular shoulders, "They do the same thing."
May 12 00:51:48 <SarahH>	Cat gives a small giggle. "Okay...what else do you do for fun?
May 12 00:53:29 <Knave>	After a long time of thinking, she says, "Think."
May 12 00:54:18 <SarahH>	"On what subjects?"
May 12 00:55:38 <Knave>	"Whatever." She responds, rolling her shoulders slowly.
May 12 00:56:17 <SarahH>	Cat gives a nod...not sure what else to ask.
May 12 00:58:18 <Knave>	Gloria sits in the silence that she adamantly refuses to fill, slowly rising in her perch. "I'm gonna go." She says eventually, standing abruptly.
May 12 00:58:50 <SarahH>	"Oookay...See you around...or something?" Cat asked...haha! an opening!
May 12 00:59:23 <Knave>	"Yeah." Gloria says, stepping jerkily out and back into the hall.
May 12 01:00:05 <SarahH>	Cat watches the girl leave and mutters something in French...very very quietly
