Who: Yui, OTA
When: Day 17
What: Getting her bearings, forming bonds
Where: Everywhere
Warnings: Will update as needed

It takes a little time for Yui to get used to not hearing a screeching sound in her mind every time she walks past glass. And it takes a little bit to get used to the fact that some part of her misses it, if only because it had been part of her life for so long.

But she needs to get used to the place...and figure out just how she can get back home before Shinji and Ren inevitably get into another fight.

"My brother has to be up to something by now..."

So you might see her worrying a bit as she wanders around, trying to take stock of everything.

Well, that's disappointing. Of course, he's not going to admit he was trying to make her jump.

"What? I wanted some music. Something wrong with that?"

It's true enough.

[mirrors_wish]

"That's not what you're trying to do, not when you're waiting for me to pass by."

Yui wasn't afraid of being direct, and she figured Vex needed to learn that.

"You're trying to get on my nerves."

And succeeding too, but she's not going to admit that.

[alwaysvexing]

"Lucky coincidence."

He leans back casually against the wall over by the CD player, letting the music continue on its merry way. And again, it's true enough, because he didn't have her in mind when he first went to find that CD, he just happened to see an opportunity.

"Really, you shouldn't take things so personally."

[mirrors_wish]

She says nothing--just gives him a raised eyebrow.

[alwaysvexing]

And he raises his eyebrows right back at her.

[mirrors_wish]

Well, that's getting her nowhere.

"Is this something you do to everyone, or do you have a reason to single me out?"

[alwaysvexing]

He shrugs. "Dunno. Suppose you could ask everyone else to see if my playing music bothers them."

Or whether they also think he's an asshole, which they probably do. It could potentially be a problem if she decides to talk to Alphys or Kaltz, but he's not too worried. He doesn't expect to keep his powers secret for long at this point, anyway. They're all in too close quarters.

[mirrors_wish]

"Why? It's not like it's going to change anything."

He's trying to bait her, and she's not going to play this game.
