Character(s): Shinra and Celty
Location: Around the Garden
Rating: G
Open/Closed/Finished: Finished.
Summary: Just the new arrivals getting situated.

The school was larger than Shinra expected, the architecture completely different from anything someone could even hope to find in Ikebukuro. Or even in Ireland, Shinra suspected. His eyes were alight, reflecting outline of the Garden as he skipped ahead of his companion to gaze up at vision of it.

"Celty, do you see it?" he called out to her, motioning him after him. "This truly is an entirely different world from ours! Look at the detailing on the spires! And that canopy! It looks like a halo! How do you think it's suspended?"

He beamed at her, fairly thrilled to be on this adventure with her. They were away from Ikebukuro, from the demands of the city, from the meddling of his father. They could try a different kind of life for a little while, at least until they found a way back. And they would. They couldn't divorce themselves from that city forever, but just for the time being, maybe this could be okay.

"What do you think?"

The smile he gave her was hopeful.

Once inside the infirmary, Shinra gave himself a quick tour, making mental notes here and there as he tried not to let himself yet too engrossed in his surroundings. It was fascinating for something as simple as a school's infirmary, though he supposed since it was a mercenary school, this hardly came as a surprise. Ahhh, he wouldn't mind working here for a while. Volunteering, even, just to get to know the facilities better. Soon enough he emerged again, determined to return here when Celty wasn't waiting on him and have a better look. Celty could probably see the sparkle in his eye and the bounce in his step as he rejoined her, motioning them in the direction of the quad.

"All done! I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long."

Celty sighed lightly to herself and the infirmary doors swung shut behind Shinra, tilting her neck back to check out the ceiling, looking for camera's in the vicinity. Lowering her gaze, she caught glimpse of a bulletin board in front of her and on the other side of the hall. Uncrossing her arms and pushing off the wall, she made her way over to it, looking at the different fliers for clubs and other such opportunities. A thought suddenly occurred to her about a club mention she didn't notice up there, making a mental note to do more investigation later into the matter. Perhaps she should write it down...

She opened her phones note pad and began typing it in. 'Home Ec... make delicious food for--' and then suddenly Shinra emerged from the infirmary, causing Celty to abandon the message and slip her phone into her sleeve hastily.

She flipped around to face him and waved her hands in front of her; she hadn't really been kept waiting for very long. She noticed the twinkle in his eye-- how typical of Shinra to fanboy over something as simple as an exam room. Then again, she was also the one who was too afraid to go into said room, so she was in no real position to talk either.

"No, it was no problem. How was it?" She tilted her head to the side and then tapped her phone again. "Shall we go then?" And she moved to stand next to him.

"Everything I hoped it to be and more~" Shinra all but sang as he pranced on ahead to lead her to the quad, knowing that she would follow. He could tell that she was up to something, since the mood between them had changed slightly between him going into the infirmary and coming back out, but he didn't spare it much thought. Every girl deserved to have her secrets, after all, and he trusted Celty not to keep anything important from him.

...the reverse wasn't exactly true, which Shinra off and on felt guilty for, but he only did was was necessary to protect them. She was more his family than anyone else in this life, and one thing Shinra had developed which he hadn't inherited from his father was a strong sense of commitment to his family. He would protect what they had to whatever ends.

"Ah, here we are!" he exclaimed as they reached the quad, skipping on ahead to do a little spin as the walls gave away to open air. "Ahhh, this is every bit as nice as I imagined! Look, Celty! There's running water!"

Celty couldn't help but feel her own spirit lifted by the boyish excitement exuded from Shinra over his prospective new workspace. She hoped only the best for him, really interested in where this new life would take him. Celty had other things in mind when it came to Shinra's success too: Being a human, his time was limited, and so she wished to see him make the most of it.

She looked around the corner as they rounded it, sunlight reflecting off of her visor and creating dazzling patterns on the walls around them in the entrance. She stood in awe at the beauty contained in the space before them, understanding why Shinra had proposed they spend time there after school. She walked forward behind the skipping and overly-enthused Japanese doctor, pausing for a moment to raise her hand up to her visor, her shoulders twitching once as she laughed silently to herself.

"Ah, this really is nice, Shinra."

Seeing Celty laugh always unfailingly lifted Shinra's spirits. He always imagined that it would sound as beautiful as it looked. Warm and bright like the sun. For all the darkness and grim that blanketed the Ikebukuro underground, Celty was tangible, irrefutable proof to Shinra that there was such beauty in the world. In life. That there could be such a thing as 'perfect'. So he just smiled and watched her for a little while, sighing out his breath in bliss.

"I'm glad you like it. Do you want to... stay here for a little while before we go find the dorms?"

Celty walked towards the fountain, her hand dipping down to touch the water out of curiosity. By touch it seemed the same as back in their world-- in fact, many things did. Yet many things were also different here.

She glanced back at Shinra, flicking the water off of her hand onto the ground as she moved over to approach him. She nodded a few times and moved towards a tree nearby and sat down, leaving a fair amount of room next to her open..

'This is nice. The sun is shining, the wind is so gentle, and I am here with him. No strife, no chaos. I could get used to this,' Celty though as she leaned back against the tree, waiting for her fiance expectantly.
