Aikia/Suki

Aikia still sat behind the closed door, her hands clutching the handle for balance as she crouched, her face pressed to the old and splintering wood as hard as possible, trying to get a better view through the keyhole.

‘Suki.’ She called more firmly, quite sure that the sugar glider was inside and contentedly ignoring her.

Meanwhile, said creature of mischief was disappointed. Her target, blissfully unaware of her presence, had risen to his feet and was creating some strange thing that Suki was sure only hume would find useful. Becoming more bold by her nondetection, the small, furry marsupial slowly advanced, reaching the edge of the shadows the bed cast.

Aikia strained her eyes, hoping to catch even a glimpse of movement. Wait, there, under the nearest bed… Yes, there was Suki alright. In her agitation the slight girl pressed too hard against the door, accidentally pulling down on the handle with her weight.

There was a door creaking, followed abruptly by the sigh of fabric and the chime of precious metals, then the whoomp! of a rather surprised person hitting the floor. Aikia didn’t even make eye contact with the young man, she was so embarrassed by her gracelessness. “That’s twice in one day,” the girl thought irately to herself.

In seconds she had recovered and turned and bolted out the door, still practically on hands and knees. Maybe if she was lucky, the hume didn’t get a good look at her… She bounded around the corner and launched herself up the first few steps of the staircase leading to Her room. Flattening herself against the near wall, Aikia wished she could meld into the wood and disappear, her breathing irratic and face slightly flushed.

During the whirlwind of confusion, Suki chittered laughingly. Aine could be so funny, sometimes. Cheerfully, she waited to see what the other hume would do, before making a move for the now open door.



ooc- I feel that Ydalon brought this upon himself, by praying for solitude. And unfortunately we do not have the ‘luck’ stat in this game
