Catching up [TANYA]

[Tanya Christianson]

Hearing Oleg speak snapped Tanya out of her thinking stupor for the moment. A place to party? That sounded like fun. She hadn't really partied hard during her time here, just hung out with people and had fun. Maybe having a night where she can dance her worries away would be a good idea.

"I might as well go as well, sounds fun." Tanya responded, her voice softer than the usual Tanya that people knew. She could feel the awkwardness in the air, it was so palpable that it could be cut with a knife. The issue was that she didn't really know what else to say. Maybe she could try to find something to talk about. Anything.

"How did you meet Kyrie?" Tanya quickly asked, hoping that by talking about the object of his affections, he would start talking about it. While she did think quite a lot, she also didn't like how the two of them just sat and stayed silent. It was unsettling.

[Oleg Kirrlov]

"Well. Our first real meeting was in a library. One of my pokemon, Hoare, who was a nosepass at the time, proceeded to follow her to get a magnetic stone out of her shoe, and she ran away due to fearing the thing. Her espeon proceeded to trash the library." Oleg chuckled slightly. "Well, we met afterwards again in a battle, where I had to use Hoare to win. She panicked again and hit a wall, getting a nosebleed. I went with her to the nurse, and while her nose was covered, I took out my PGS. She revealed that she had one too, and we just kind of... Played and talked." Oleg smiled more, blushing once more.

"She laughed in this cute manner. I dunno, maybe that and her looks and personality in general just got me. But eh, afterwards, we got ourselves a shared console that we play from time to time."

Tanya made an effort to look at Oleg as he recounted his encounters with Kyrie. So they were the two idiots who managed to destroy half the library in their first few days of being here. Tanya did wonder about how someone could manage to do that in such a short time, but now knowing the answer, it was surprisingly hilarious how the library got destroyed. As Oleg told that story and the one where Kyrie gave herself a nosebleed from running away from the Nosepass, she couldn't help but giggle to herself.

"That's pretty cool." Tanya said to Oleg, progressively getting happier as the conversation went by. Hearing stories about Kyrie and Oleg were pretty funny and helped lighten up the mood she was in. 

"To be honest, my story of meeting Kyrie was much less exciting. We met on the battlefield as well. I managed to defeat her team and then when I went to shake her hand, she just held out Mammon. Fortunately, I somehow convinced her to hang out with me on the beach and here we are today."

When she put it like that, Tanya recognized how silly her first encounter with Kyrie was. She was also really antagonistic towards her till she revealed that she played video games as well. She couldn't help but think how different that day would've gone if she never said that. It probably would've sucked hard.

[Oleg Kirrlov]

"Heh, sounds like Kyrie alright. She just acts so awkwardly sometimes, yet it's adorable." Oleg laughed warmly, glad that the talking had swiped away the awkward silence. "Still, that beach time... I enjoyed it." He grinned slightly. It HAD been fun, honestly. Some good talking and having fun, and he did meet Tanya at the time.

"Eh, you wanna get some more or shall we head off?" He raised his eyebrow, watching Tanya as he piled his empty glass onto his empty plate. It had been a rather nice meal, he had to admit, and the talk had been wonderful.

[Tanya Christianson]

Tanya remarked how much Oleg talked about Kyrie. He seemed to be happy when he talked about her, as if all of his troubles faded away whenever she was on his mind. Was that really how people felt? Was Tanya ever going to feel that in her life? She didn't know.

"Yeah, I had a good time as well." Tanya told Oleg, smiling at the thought of seeing happy Kyrie. When she wasn't being antagonistic, she could actually be really friendly and mischievous. She was a recluse, no doubt about it, but when she wanted to get out there, she was wonderful to be around. While Tanya wished there was some way she could help bring that out of her, she doubted she was close enough to ever do that.

"I think I'm done for today as well." Tanya replied, stacking all of her things together and then putting them away. The conversation with Oleg ended positively to her relief. She was worried that the conversation was going to be awkward, which it was at first. They managed to break through it though.

"Hey, if you're not up to anything much, we can play video games at your place?" Tanya asked, cracking her fingers and stretching her body to wake up. 

[Oleg Kirrlov]

"That'd be nice. The next time we meet, I'll bring with me a bolt dorm uniform so you can get into the boys side. Was the way I got Kyrie in too." He nodded, putting his things away as he rose up from his seat, cracking his back slightly, along with his fingers. "But beware, I'll whoop your arse hard enough that you don't wanna play anymore afterwards." He grinned playfully. "Write me a e-mail when you want that uniform at a specific place, 'kay? Just look up the student lists, my name should be there somewhere with my Email."

[Tanya Christianson]

Tanya nodded her head as Oleg gave her a bunch of instructions on how to get into his room to play video games with him. She was probably breaking the rules doing this, but it was all for socialization and making friends. If she got caught, her parents would probably let it slide if she told them that.

"Yeah right, as if that would happen." Tanya retorted playfully at Oleg's challenge, giving him a light punch on the arm in jest. While she didn't play video games all the time, she still felt like she could put up a decent challenge. She was not one to back down from anything, even something as mundane as video games. It was just against her nature.

"Got it. I'll be sure to e-mail you when the time comes. I'll see you around then Oleg!" Tanya called out, waving goodbye to him as she headed back to her dorm. She really needed to clean up. Right now, she looked like an utter mess.
