Round two (Hana)

Damn it, it looked like Taerin shouldn't of done that and had some regrets of doing so. Of course she wasn't going to get away with a move like that. What she got in return was the girl pulling herself back and backing away from Taerin. "O-Of course it is! I'm drawing, well, you! Your whole body!" Taerin argued. Surely she mentioned she was trying to draw the girl as a whole, right? Maybe not. 

"I had to! I'm a very thorough person when it comes to touching and I want to feel every single detail there is!" Taerin said. After thinking for a moment, the words that formed out of her mouth didn't seem so appropriately interpreted as it was in Taerin's head. She swears she didn't mean it like that at all! Well, until then she did. But still! "I-I mean," She cleared her throat. "I'd like to get every single detail down so I can draw as accurately as I can." She corrected herself. Much better.

Hana's voice got a little louder, much to Taerin's somewhat startle. "I am!" She argued once again. She wasn't drawing the girl of course, but she was drawing shapes. That counts as drawing something. And the next questioned bugged Taerin only just a little bit. The answer would be yes, but Taerin would be in complete denial. "Since when was hugging considered being a pervert?" She countered for a moment. No, seriously. Since when? Of course Taerin's original idea involved groping which was on a perverted level, but hugging was normal! Then again, hugging a stranger didn't really help that fact alone.

Getting up, Taerin slowly began to approach Hana in a slow manner, giving a signal that she meant no harm with her hands up as if she surrendered. "S-Seriously... I mean no harm nor am I trying to do anything funny, trust me."

"Thorough?" Hana's tone was certainly annoyed, though not a lot more just yet. She stepped back again as the now unwelcome girl came closer. "My face or shoulders I could understand but... that was rather personal." The girl backed up another step or two, clutching her book to her chest. Her cheeks burned with embarrassment. about eighty percent of her was upset someone would hug her so tightly in such a personal manner. The other twenty was embarrassed at how much more obvious her lack of chest likely was now. 'Quit coming closer! Can't you take a hint?!'

The girl continued on, pressing her luck even more by asking when a hug was considered being a pervert. "Maybe not by itself..." Hana admitted, "But with everything else!" 'How is this not obvious?! You were touching me like some sort of flirty lover or something. It just seemed like you were being gentle at first, but then...'

Hana reached up and gripped her hat as a small gust of wind picked up on the roof. Her normally expressionless face showed a frown on it. "I'm leaving," she announced after a moment. "I don't need to see that technique."

"I-I know I shouldn't of invaded your privacy like that, but I didn't mean to!" Taerin said, taking small steps forward as Hana took some steps back. "I-I was only following how the technique goes is all, really!" She said. At this point, it doesn't seem Taerin's making a good turn on this, nor have any hinting of winning on trying to persuade this girl of Taerin's intentions. Not the actual ones, but at least something to make her stay longer is all.

"H-Hold on!" Taerin exclaimed once more with another stutter as she instinctively attempted to grab Hana's wrist. "I promise, I won't do anything funny at all! I'll stop if I have to!" She begged. At this point, she seemed and sounded a little more obsessive and desperate than being sorry, her if successful grip on the girl's wrist slightly tightening and shaking a little in the process. Taerin was slowly losing her cool and sanity, but still had it in tact nonetheless.

The increasingly crazy-seeming girl's arm clamped around Hana's wrist as she turned to leave. 'The heck?' Hana stopped, though she did still jerk her arm to get it away, rather unsuccessfully. "Let..." Hana pulled again and grunted. "go!" She was starting to have a bad feeling about this. Before maybe she'd just been pervy, but right now she just seemed... desperate for something. Her company? She certainly seemed less sorry and more alarmed. It wasn't like it was Hana's style to tattle on people.

Hana kept pulling for a moment, but it was becoming more and more apparent that she was nowhere near as strong as this girl. She was athletic... Hana wasn't. She was also bigger in general. "What's your deal?! I can go if I want to!" She made one last big pull, and only really hurt her arm as she slipped and fell down, her poor book skittering across the ground.

Ah, crap. This only the girl to show more refusal and trying to break away Taerin's grasp. The plus side of this was that the girl's attempt of pulling herself away felt a little... weak to Taerin. Maybe that was because she had more athleticism to consider it weak, which was a good and bad sign. Good in a way for mostly Taerin, that is. Bu that wasn't the point right now. What she was doing was completely the opposite of what she was thinking right now, and failing at persuading the girl to at least forgive Taerin, even though that might not really work out well in the end.

And then came Hana slipping on the ground with her sketchbook tumbling onto the ground, with instincts telling Taerin to try and catch her. Instead she ended up letting go of the girl's wrists and letting her face. Damn it, Taerin! "C-Crap!" She hissed at herself in her motherly language, Korean. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to- well, you did it any- I-I mean, I'm sorry!" She apologized, switching back to Japanese as she crouched down to the girl. "H-Here, I'll help you." Taerin said, offering some help. Goodness, could this get any worse?

This girl was seriously confusing. Hana's elbow stung, and her book probably got damaged in the fall. She wasn't even sure what to think at the moment. She winced as she examined the scrape on her arm, touching it with her other hand gingerly. She was pretty sure she wasn't bleeding, at least. Meanwhile, Taerin was asking for forgiveness, practically stuttering she was so upset. Whatever she'd intended, it apparently hadn't involved Hana falling down.

'This girl was so scary a moment ago. Now she's practically the biggest sweetheart with her concern...' Hana didn't have the resolve to continue to try and get away, nor was she in quite the same mood she'd been in before she fell. 'Poor book.' She reached up and took Taerin's hand, and was pulled up relatively easily. Hana was light, even for a girl her size.

Hana touched her elbow again and looked at Taerin once more. She did seem genuinely sorry. Maybe she'd tried to trick her... but maybe it had been intended to be harmless... Most people knew Hana wasn't one for hugs anyway, save maybe from Mako. 'Is she really this sorry?' "It's... okay." Hana finally decided. "I don't..." She didn't want someone pervily feeling her up, not while she was trying to figure herself and Mako especially. "Look, just forget it. On one condition." Hana dropped her uninjured arm, turned slightly, and picked up her book. "Why did you really do that?" she asked, not believing for a second the girl had been doing it to draw her at this point. "There's a lot prettier and... more feminine... girls than me. So... why?"

Luckily enough, the girl accepted Taerin's help. She already felt just a small smile forming back on her lips once again. While she was standing herself up, she was helping the girl get up at well, who was pretty light weighted. The girl was small after all, so maybe that was something to expect. "T-Thank you..." Taerin mumbled as she was forgiven. Looks like things were finally picking up at the right moment. Well, until she was asked why she did all of that.

How should Taerin answer this? As of now, the whole "it's part of a drawing technique" excuse wasn't going to cut it. "...W-Well..." She started off, trying to think of a good excuse to tell Hana. Sadly, none popped into her head. "That doesn't mean you're not cute, even if you don't act... err... girly?" She said. That didn't sound awkward, did it? It probably did. "No, I mean... I... well..." Come on, Taerin, think!She thought for a moment.

"You had really soft skin... and... I wanted to experience it more." Taerin muttered slowly, scratching the back of her head as she looked at the ground. That wasn't the complete reason why, but she had to give in something other than "it's because I wanted to."

'Act? Acting hadn't been what I meant...' Hana looked down at herself before she folded her arms and looked at the girl with a passive gaze now that she'd calmed down. It wasn't like she had a whole lot of other expressions she used, unless she was too surprised or upset to keep her composure. 'Soft skin? I suppose... but it's still weird to just... touch someone like that. Besides, I'm half spoken for, lady. Sort of.'

Hana wasn't exactly sure how to deal with this information. On the one side... it was totally creepy considering they weren't even friends, let alone what that would require from Hana. On the other... 'What is wrong with this girl? It's like she just does the most invasive things completely innocently.'

Hana was quiet for a long moment, just standing there, appraising Taerin. "If you're that desperate for a girl to touch," she finally spoke up. "Why don't you find an actual girlfriend? I'm sure they wouldn't mind after a bit." That was how being in a relationship worked, right? Hana knew she didn't care when Mako got into her personal space.

Yup, maybe it was a bad idea to say that. It was nothing than the silence filling the air and awkwardness for Taerin, until the girl finally broke the silence, said things that made Taerin's face flushed a little. "I-I'm not desperate to touch anyone!" Taerin protested as she picked her eyes up back on the girl. Half true, but wouldn't admit it. Why try to help prove someone else's point?

"I... I don't know, had a feeling you said... smooth skin... and I just wanted to feel it. That's all." Taerin said with a nod, pausing here and there to try and collect her thoughts together. She was just trying to walk around the thought of trying to get a girlfriend; it wouldn't be easy to try and find someone who would be completely tolerant with her actions, unless there was some clone of her.

"How about we just forget about all of this and just... start over, maybe?" Taerin brought back the suggestion. At least she gave somewhat of a reason to why she did all of that, right? Besides, the last thing she wanted to do now was to leave with someone having a bad impression of Taerin. She didn't want to live the experience a second time.

Hana stood there, taking in what the girl thought she was attempting to say. Had Hana said anything about smooth skin? She was pretty sure she hadn't. That would have been rather out of character for the small girl, considering. 'Whatever. No real harm done I guess. She could have been creepier about it, plus she's apologetic.'

Hana just shrugged and looked the second year girl in the eyes with her neutral stare. "We can start over. Just don't try anything like that again to me or my friends," she stated cooly. 'Because then we're not starting over. Once is a mistake. Twice is being a creeper.'

Hana sat back down in her spot, examining the book to make sure it wasn't too damaged. It seemed fine other than the corner it had landed on. "I could show you how to draw something," she offered, not really knowing where to proceed from there.

The thought of doing the same act to Hana's friends would make Taerin very cautious on who she's with. Hell, the next person she might bump into might be a friend for all she knows. Then again, it can't be helped. "Okay, you won't have my complete word for it, but I'll try my best to." Taerin promised. At least she was being honest. It's just part of her behavior that couldn't be cured.

"Hmm... sure, why not?" Taerin said while shrugging and taking a seat next to Hana on the ground, taking the offer of being taught of how to draw. There's a high chance that she may end up messing up on some lines or curves if she ever tries it herself, but mistakes happen, right?

"So... what are you gonna draw?" Taerin asked.

"Lady Emery. The main character from my manga," Hana explained in a few words. She started drawing, but was much slower and more deliberate about it than normal. She started with the basic body shape, drawing lightly a figure that was roughly the shape of a human before added clothing

"I've drawn her a lot over the past year." 'Heck, I think I know more about how she looks than I look. She's definitely prettier. And tougher.' Hana kept going, slowly adding a fantasy style set of clothing, complete with a heroic-looking cloak. The girl that was forming managed to be both cute and capable looking as she darkened the final lines. "She used to look a lot girlier, but things happen in stories..."

To be exact, she'd toughened up a fair bit in her bi-weekly adventures. Heroes had to be tough, because that was what made them heroes, right? Hana wasn't really sure how to explain the whole thing without just showing her the magazines she had copies of, but those weren't really to share. She kept them very safe, and only Mako was allowed to access them.

"Huh." Taerin said, sounding a bit interested as the girl began to draw out the said character. Even starting with such basic structure, Taerin for a fact knows she might end up screwing up on a simple attempt at trying an accurate circle or one without too much squiggly lines or one with a full side that's not closed completely. Even if it's a basic thing that anyone could do, Taerin would still applaud them and consider it talent. That's how bad she is at drawing.

As details were slowly coming in, this "Lady Emery" looks as if she was from one of those typical fantasy games or could be from one of those western comic books. "Wow, she really looks cool." Taerin complimented in awe. FAR better than what Taerin could do. Even if she watched the girl draw, it wouldn't take long for Taerin to screw everything up on her own in less than thirty seconds.

Out of habit, Taerin leaned her head onto Hana's shoulder as she watched the girl draw, only taking a few seconds to realize what she was doing. "A-Ah, sorry!" She quickly apologized as she rose her head up from the girl's shoulder immediately the moment she noticed where her head was. "I feel a little tired so... I'm sorry." She mumbled. Half-lie, but could be believable. Maybe not. Who knows?

Hana scooted very slightly further away when the girl laid her head on her shoulder. How much she believed, she wasn't sure. It didn't matter, she was trying to do some sort of make up... thing with Taerin. 'Please stop touching me.' She kept her mouth shut though, instead just continuing on with the drawing. She did love to draw. "Don't worry about it," she said after a slight delay. If they were friends, she probably wouldn't care. It would take some work, though.

Hana finished the details on the character, and colored in a bit of shading so that it looked like a proper black and white manga character made out of pencil instead of ink. Hana liked inking better, but meh. She'd only brought her pencil for her rooftop doodling.

Her entire reason for coming to the roof was thrown out the window, so to speak, at this point. Hana figured she could make a doodle, tear the page out, and hand it to Taerin as a gift. Maybe that'd be a better start than touching people's skin creepily. So, she did exactly that. "Here," she handed the neatly torn out page to Taerin. "A starting over gift." 'That's the best I know to do.'

Well that didn't seem like a smart move to do. Despite that the head resting on the shoulder was actually half an accident, the girl seemed to move away just a little further away from Taerin. It wasn't as if Taerin actually did it intentionally or anything, she actually did feel tired for a moment, but tried to use it as an excuse to lay her head on Hana's shoulder, and that didn't go out as planned.

"Oh... thanks." Taerin said with a soft sigh as she took the doodle. Maybe that wasn't a clever Taerin did. Probably this doodle were to maybe get herself together or something. Still, it was a... pretty nice gift the girl came up with; thoughtful, maybe. Which gave Taerin an idea.

"Well, since you were kind enough to give me a... 'start over' gift, I'll give you mine!" Taerin said, quickly scooting herself over back to the girl, only to try and give her a bear hug. Hey, it was only hugging right? Sure she wasn't that close with Hana, but a hug wouldn't harm anyone. Maybe for Taerin eventually. but that's besdies the point.

Taeren took the gift in what appeared to be a grateful manner - something Hana was glad for. It meant her own efforts weren't completely without merit. She wasn't making a friendship offer... it was more of something a celebrity might do to appease a rabid fan who'd just been refused an outrageous request. Still, it was a good sign from the quiet girl. 'See? I'm not horrible with people when I don't want to be!'

The thought was very quickly eclipsed by the fact that she was suddenly being given a hug. 'What about you've touched me too much do you not understand?!' Hana just stoically endured the gesture. Maybe she meant well. More likely she was the most uncontainable pervert ever. At least she wasn't confusing Hana for a twelve year old kid, right?

"There," Hana stood up after a moment, pulling away if she had to. She closed her book, having had quite enough of this girl for the time being. Somehow she felt like they'd meet again... that is, if she was able to escape now. "Now, we're all good," she half lied. "Now we can part ways in a not sad or creepy manner." 'Right? Please tell me I'm right.' "I need to go find somewhere alone to do my actual work."

Damn it, not again. Taerin has once again managed to repeat the same mistake she attempted to avoid. It's just something that can't be helped with Taerin. "W-W-Wait!" She exclaimed with a stammer. Swiftly getting up to her feet, she attempted to grab the girl's wrist once again, only this time her grip was a little tighter than before. "I-I'll come with you! Yeah, I'll come!" She said. Even though Hana mentioned he was going somewhere else alone, that still didn't stop Taerin from trying to tag along.

Taerin's normal facial appearance slightly formed into a more crazed look with desperation taking over her eyes, breathing only somewhat went heavier a little. "I promise! I-I'll be good! I swear!" She yelled. At this point, Taerin was just losing it. She's just at her point where she becomes desperate to stay or just tag along with a girl on wherever they're going.

'Damn. This girl's desperate for some company. Why me?' Hana was once again worried about this girl. What he heck was wrong with her, anyway? 'I get the weirdest impression when she gets like this...' "Chill, alright?" Hana told her in an annoyed voice. "It's not like I'm trying to abandon you. I've just got stuff to do." Not that she really wanted to seek her out again after the experience. Hana was too nice. At least that was what she told herself.

"You know, stuff that I really can't do with someone looking over my shoulder the entire time." Maybe her dorm room really was the best option. Locked in the bathroom or the closet where no one but Mako would be able to find her. Hana gave a small wave, gripping her book in both arms before turning to take her leave again.
