Grell and Kouya

Characters: Grell ([livejournal.com profile] falterderleere) & Kouya ([livejournal.com profile] zero_eternal)
Date: Early December 22nd, running into the 23rd?
Summary: A most unlikely pair, snowed into a building together. Conflicts will most certainly arise. :/
Warnings: None at the moment? Though it's pretty obvious, these two aren't going to get along. This section will be edited as needed, later.

The moment she woke, Kouya knew that this was not where she had fallen asleep.

Once the snow had started to fall the night before, she had immediately found one of the necessities in the area and camped out there. It would not do for her to freeze to death. As a Zero unit, she understood that she was particularly susceptible to the cold, being unable to feel pain or actually, most other functions of touch either. Without pain receptors, there would be no way her body could tell her if her body temperature was too low.

And yet, Kouya had had to suppress several irrational urges to run out into the snowstorm and continue searching for her. Yamato. The cellphone hadn't worked. And Yamato herself hadn't utilized their shared bond to call to her either. The bottle of medicine that she had received from Ramona had helped control her nausea some, but Kouya's panic-attacks were still plenty and getting increasingly intense.

But no, she couldn't think about it now. She had to believe that Yamato was here somewhere. Because they were inseparable. She would find her. She definitely would.

For the moment though, Kouya took a deep breath and opened her eyes to a floor that was definitely not one that would usually be found in a cave. She had a habit of curling up sideways in her sleep, so naturally, the first thing that she would see upon waking up would be the floor. Her vision was blurry though, so she couldn't make out much more than just a few feet of floor in front of her. Her glasses were folded neatly in her line of vision and she reached forward to pick them up, when something suddenly came to her attention. The sleeping bag she was in. It was warm. But not from her body heat alone.

There was someone else here.

The snow hadn't been bothering Grell, she had stayed up late with a book from the library and watched it. It still felt odd, adjusting to this new home, this new world, but...she really did like it. With the beauty, the freedom, and Ann, alive again. Ciel had occupied some of her thoughts, the strange transformation. A Countess now? She'd be meeting her soon enough, and then she could see if the magic of this place truly held no bounds.

She had passed out, glasses still on her face, expecting to see the same room when she rose. But this was not right...this felt odd, too warm and too cold at the same time. And a presence, none she knew.

Someone here? Invading my privacy? I wouldn't have minded had they asked but for them to be surprising me when everything's wrong and a stranger this close-!

Unnaturally fast, she sprung out of the sleeping bag, getting as far away from this stranger as possible. Her back touched cold stone-odd, she noted for later, and she put a hand on the wall to brace herself. The other adjusted her glasses, to better see this person.

"...Who are you?"

Dark hair, glasses, a young girl. Not as threatening as Grell had first thought.

"Another willing to remain civil as long as there is no reason to be otherwise."

Forgive her, but giving a name to the woman she just woke up in a form of bed with...it spoke ill to her tastes. Straightening, she ran a hand through her hair to order it somewhat.

"I have no clue why I am here, but if this is your dwelling, I clearly remember not falling asleep here."

Was that....yes, a storm. A storm that wanted to seal them inside this place, whereever it was. No Vine. Nothing except the stone and the other person. At least there was someone else, even if she was a stranger. If she had been alone it would have been worse, this feeling like a corset pulled too tight around her chest. Would that door open? If it was locked...

Hiding her discomfort as best as she could, she finished going through her hair, straightening her clothes and trying not to shiver-that bag had been warm. She couldn't just waltz out into a storm without anything; anything in particular being the scythe. If she could get a moment to herself perhaps she could try again to pull it here.

"Grell Sutcliffe. Nice to meet you, Miss Sakagami, and the blame lies with me. I should not have been so demanding." The words felt almost practiced, the politeness habit without entire sincerity.
