[b] He nods[/b] "I just roll with what works, which lately, hasn't been working. So I've been working my ass off on rooftops, getting interrupted by people." [b] He chuckles[/b]

If I'm interrupting just keep practicing. I can wait for you to be done to talk.
-
"It's fine. Did you have something specific you were looking to ask me?"
-
Not really. Just wanted to see what was happening.
-
[b] He nods.[/b] "Curiosity killed the cat."
-
Heh. Anyways, what's your name? Mine's Keri.
-
"I'm Lance. Gentleman and swordsman extraordinaire." [b] He performs a mock bow[/b]
-
Well, Lance. [b]She writes something down.[/b] If you ever need to contact me, go to this address. [b]She hands the paper to you.[/b]
-
[b] He looks at the paper.[/b] "We just met and you're already giving me your address? I could be a serial killer for all you know."
-
Not my address. A place I hang out at. [b]The note reads:[/b] [quote]Neon red building with green stripes in Neo-Centra.[/quote]
-
[b] He raises his eyebrows.[/b] "Why would I need to contact you Ms. Keri?"
-
In case you need someone to talk to.
-
"Alright. Mind if I ask what the mask is for?"
-
I'm hiding a past.
-
[b] He rolls his eyes.[/b] "Wearing a mask doesn't hide anything but your face."
-
My face is a doorway to my past.
-
"No, you're face is a face. With eyes and a nose and a mouth. It has nothing to do with your past. Seriously, whys everyone so damn depressing."
-
[b]Sudden realization sets into her eyes.[/b] Do you want me to take it off?
-
"Not if you have some code against it or something. It's your choice, but no, I wouldn't mind seeing your face."
-
Okay. [b]She reaches her hands up to the strap on the back of her mask. She slowly lowers it off of her face. It reveals a gorgeous young woman, strikingly beautiful.[/b]
-
[b] Lance smiles.[/b] "Why the hell would you want to hide a face like that?"
-
I don't know. It seemed like I had to. I'm glad to take it off.

-
Woah. What happened?
-
"My house was burned to the ground by arsonists, and I lost my parents in the fire, I escaped with these as a parting gift. We've all got pasts Keri, you aren't the only one. Don't feel bad."
-
After seeing your scars I have nothing to hide.
