The Main Hall

The main hall of chronos. The members stay to talk amongst each other and relax.. for once.

Nami slips in quietly and watches the members. Finally.. away..

Creed walks in shortly afterwards and notices Nami, "Hmph."

Nami attempts to slip behind one of the larger members. Damn.. I think he saw me...

"Don't even try to hide Nami, I know you're there." Creed sneers.

Nami blinks and steps out, "Me.. hide? Never.." she lies in her soft voice.

"Oh please, enough with your lying." Creed half-smiles.

Nami smiles nervously, "Uhmm what can I do for you..?"

"Hmph, just don't cause any trouble." Creed looks around.

"B-But I-" she shakes her head and turns away, dropping the subject, deciding that she was lucky that's all he wanted for now. Nami sighs in relief. Thank god.. She looks around and walks over to some girl and talks to her for a while.

Creed snorts. Chronos...how dispiciable...how I'd like to burn this place to the ground..

Nami giggles softly, enjoying her conversation.

"So how's Hawke?"

"I'm not sure.. I haven't been able to get away from.." she glances at Creed. "He seems particular lately.. like he thinks I'm leaving somewhere."

The girl blinks, "But aren't you?" she whispers back.

Nami sighs, "Not sure I need the money still."

"You're one strong woman, Kat.."

Creed's ears twitch at the sound of his name.

Nami notices and looks at her friend, "Shh!"

The friend sweatdrops, "Man.. like I said.. if I were in your shoes.. I would have killed myself and- Oh right.. your brother.."

Nami facepalms, "Ugh Yumi.. hopeless as usual."

Creed snorts and walks over to the two gossiping girls, "Anything you'd like to say to me?"

Yumi waves her hands, "Of course not Creed, Nami was just telling me a joke."

Nami sweatdrops. Yumi.. I don't joke....

Yumi doesn't notice, "It was hilarious!"

Creed sneers, "Yeah whatever. Tell me what you were gossiping about."

Nami turns and looks him in the eye, deciding she wouldn't get Yumi in trouble, "Your hair.. I was telling her how your hair looks awful today." she replies bluntly.

Creed growls and pins Nami to the wall with one arm, "Oh?"

Nami winces and closes one eye.

Creed sneers and kisses Nami, "You're lucky I'm in a good mood today." He lets Nami go and walks off to one of the higher ups.

Nami spits on the floor in defiance.

Yumi sweatdrops, "Wow.. he must be really into you.. had anyone else said that.. he would have lopped off their head."

Nami wipes her lips and glares at the floor.

Creed leans against a wall and speaks to the higher-ups.

Nami blinks and looks at Creed then smiles at Yumi.

"I don't like that look."

"Shh.. I'm slipping out it's a party right? He won't notice for a couple hours at least." Nami whispers.

Yumi sighs. "Nami.. you're gonna get hurt."

Nami smiles wildly, "It's fine.. just cover if he asks where I am.. say the little girl's room."

Yumi sighs and nods, "Get out of here already if you're going."

Nami nods and disappears out a window.

Yumi shakes her head and proceeds to talk to another person.

Creed glares at Yumi, "She's up to something."
