June 4th: Sunshiny Day.

[Ayami Morita]

Ayami was walking on the quad, deep in thought

((open))

[Bobby Bowen]

Bobby was on campus, getting his affairs in order after the botched undercover mission at the bank.

He passed the Rainbow girl, distracted by the situation.

[Ayami Morita]

This caused the two of them to bump into one another, as, despite the size of the quad, they appeared to be walking on the same line.

"Oh! Sorry."

[Bobby Bowen]

Bobby barely felt it, but turned his brass face level.

"My fault, sorry. Lots of stuff on my mind."

[Ayami Morita]

"Right, right, same..."

[Bobby Bowen]

"Hmmm." He grunted.

"Nice hair."

[Ayami Morita]

"Nice...patina."

[Bobby Bowen]

"Hmm?" Bobby looked around his body, blushing seemingly.

After locating the offending spot, he flicked at it, flaking off the ugly coating.

"Sorry about that.. I usually get it all in the morning.."

[Ayami Morita]

"Eh, it's fine. Looks distinguished."

[Bobby Bowen]

"Not really, but thanks for the attempted save." He replied, flashing a small grin.

[Ayami Morita]

"Not a problem at all," she smiled back.

[Bobby Bowen]

"So.. What's your name? And what're you up to?" He asked, slinging his courier bag on his shoulder.

[Ayami Morita]

"Ayami Morita.

And I'm walking. In that general direction," she said, pointing.

[Bobby Bowen]

"And why is that?" he asked.

[Ayami Morita]

"Because I came from the other direction."

[Bobby Bowen]

"Ok, good enough for me." he replied, chuckling.

[Ayami Morita]

"What about you?"

[Bobby Bowen]

"That direction," he replied, thumbing down a path and smiling.

[Ayami Morita]

"Why that direction, in particular?"

[Bobby Bowen]

"Coming from that direction?" he replied..

[Ayami Morita]

"Fair enough," she shrugged.

[Bobby Bowen]

"..I'm here because I robbed a bank. You might have heard it."

[Ayami Morita]

"Yeah, that turned out well, didn't it."

[Bobby Bowen]

"No.. no it didn't.." he mumbled, looking away.

[Ayami Morita]

"Hey, what's wrong."

[Bobby Bowen]

"I watched someone die there. Someone who wasn't involved at all, other then just showing up to take some money out for groceries or something. And here I am, free as a lark just a couple days later. It's wrong. The whole things wrong."

[Ayami Morita]

"Hrm. Had a rough time, didn't you," she said, sympathetically.

[Bobby Bowen]

"I got put in a situation I never should have let myself get into in the first place. Not going to happen again."

[Ayami Morita]

Ayami nodded, sympathetically. "I can relate."

[Bobby Bowen]

"Anyway, I need to get going.." he started.

[Ayami Morita]

Ayami sighed.

"Look, do you want company right now? Someone to cheer you up?"

[Bobby Bowen]

Bobby thought long and hard on the invitation.

"Thanks.. but I need to get back to the my shop, keep things from galling apart there. Maybe later?"

[Ayami Morita]

"Sure thing," she said, slipping something into his hand. "Some other time."
