Windia spaced out for a bit there, satisfied to see that she created this relaxed atmosphere where students are behaving like they should be due to her intervention. It reminded her when she broke up fights between humans and faunus when she was a child back when her family was still living in Terra. For that reason, she didn't notice Duke's presence until the boy started talking to her."Well, I suppose I'll let you two have a nice chat," he finally said, slipping around the pair to have a chat with the white haired girl that had broken up the previous "situation." "So," he began, flashing his signature smile. "You were pretty smooth with all 'that'," he jerked his thumb towards Duivel and Franky. "You gotta be pretty special to handle something as high stress as those two. I like that." Duke smiled again. He was obviously laying it on a bit thick, but he'd totally been shot down earlier, and it had been a slight blow to his confidence with people. Surely he wouldn't get shot down twice in one day...right?
"So..I'm Duke. What's your name?" The Rook smiled once more.
"Oh! Hi there! Didn't noticed you for a second. The name's Windia, though yeah it sounds a bit strange. Pops can't name for beans, after all. Call me anything you want... though I can't guarantee your safety if you give me a weird nickname." Windia said enthusiastically as she beamed at Duke.
"Oh it was nothing really. I'm used to breaking up fights between people. I've done that lots of times back when we were still living in Terra and after we moved to Nysa." She said modestly as she looked away at Duke for a bit to hide her embarrassment. "Faunus and Humans sometimes sometimes don't get along that well and since I'm from both worlds, being an adopted human living with a faunus family, I'm the best candidate to do that. Though I honestly am quite surprised I diffused this situation in record time. Usually, I have to beat the bloody hell out of both sides first before they made up so hurray!" All hints of embarrassment practically gone, Windia exclaimed the last bit excitedly, as if she had just unlocked a new achievement in a game.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" she asked, tilting her head with a clear shade of clueless. "I've never had any problems with any humans...." she stated, words obviously sincere. "Or Faunus, for that manner. Everyone I've met's been sweet as sugar." That was... odd., to say the least. Perhaps Mona had a darker, more serious side that came out and intimidated locals out of picking on her? Or some intimidating friend that scared them off? The latter wouldn't be surprising, with how the first people she'd taken to interacting with were the ruffians. Shrugging it off, Mona smiled once more. "I bet it's just some rumor. But Nysa, huh? I've heard there's lots of Faunus there... I'd love to visit, some day. Maybe you could introduce me to that family of yours, even!"
Astonishment hit the white-haired girl in the face yet again as Mona described what it was like for a Faunus living in Terra. The way she described it seemed like the discrimination by the human populace against the faunus was nonexistent in the first place. Could things have gotten better shortly after her family left Terra? No. That couldn't be the case. Even after the Milkyway family migrated to Nysa, Faunus families would still arrive there, telling how the terrible treatment of Faunus in Terra led them to migrating to the icy kingdom despite the prosperity in Terra. Windia could only theorize that Mona led a sheltered life, or that someone protected her from seeing the harsh realities of discrimination.
"Well, you're welcome to crash at my place any time. Though, I'd still recommend you bring a ton of coats. I've already gotten used to the cold though I can't say about you. On the bright side, we get to have snowball fights almost year-round! I'm sure you'll get along well with my siblings." Windia told Mona while smiling sweetly at the tiger-faunus.
Meanwhile, Edward Teach still seems to be in a non-talking mood as he was reluctant to even say where he was from. Though, after seeing Mona's determination firsthand, Windia was certain she wouldn't give up on befriending him so easily. At least Windia now knows his name, Duivel. She was about to run out of pirate names for him too so what perfect timing.
A couple more people arrived, or more accurately, crashed near where the group had congregated. One of them was visibly upset enough that she grumpily declared everyone didn't see her crash face first on the floor. She looked like the type that would be fun to tease and pester so Windia took a mental note to make get to know her better in the future.
Unfortunately, Franky seems to not have taken her attitude lightly and it just seems like Windia's going to have to break up another fight for today. Hopefully, this ends with just verbal daggers being thrown at each other. If things take a physical turn, she'd have to either beat both of them up or resort to Plan B.
Shizune had spaced out, watching Kwame seemingly shuffle the cards endlessly without answering her question (They were nimble fingers :T) , but when Aelius spoke up she shook it off and glanced up to him. "OH, sorry. I asked what we were playing and then I... dunno. Like some three person simultaenous space out. I'm Shizune Shimmer, nice to meet you- wait, did you say someone's dying?" She asked as she leaned to look past him towards wherever said death would be occuring.
"If either strikes, someone will deal with it. If not, I will."
Aqua said casually with a nod to the new person, before turning slightly in her seat to regard them as she frowned. Hmph. Not to hard to deduce where one of them might have come from, if that outfit and mannerism was any indication. As to the other...
....She hadn't a clue and it was around that moment someone else stepped in. Dressed in a yellow jumpsuit with black lines on the side of her legs, she was a slim figure with an open face. Around her hands, bandages wrapped in a style meant for those who used their fists extensively as she asked brightly.
"Excuse me. Does anyone know if the cockpit is off-limits to students?"
Aqua blinked.
"...Why would you want to know?"
The new girl laughed and brushed her bangs from her eyes.
"Because I want to ride shotgun silly! Or at least check it out- Did I interrupt anything?" She asked with a casual blink.
On the other hand, Ael finally learned the name of the samurai girl that caught his interest. As expected, her name was of eastern origins, though he should have already known that since she looked eastern as well. After seing Shizune suddenly became concerned if someone was dying, he instantly regretted making that exaggeration he did earlier. Sure, he considered Windia to be more gifted in terms of fighting skill than he was but behind that quirky, happy-go-lucky, exterior is a responsible, and mature young lady. She wouldn't accidentally kill someone by beating them up... unless they call her an exhibitionist.
After glancing at Windia, she seems to have done more than just diffuse the situation. In fact, people were coming towards their group from all directions. As expected of her, she's already started expanding her friendship circle this quick.
The girl wearing the naval officer uniform seemed to be ready to spring into action should another fight break out over at Windia's group though he doubted that's going to happen. Before he could get in a word of assurance to her, however, another peculiar girl joined their group dressed in a yellow jumpsuit with black linear designs on the side of her legs, and bandages wrapped around her hands. It was pretty obvious that she was some type of martial artist, judging from her appearance. She looked pretty cute too and Ael was about to introduce himself when she suddenly blurted out words that he thought only someone on Windia's level of crazy would utter. She wanted to know where the goddamn cockpit was so she'd be able to ride shotgun!
Ael didn't know if this girl also had a few loose screws inside her head but he was now more anxious than ever to land on sweet solid ground. Windia, despite her spontaneity, crazy antics, and overall weird behavior was controllable. He was already used to dealing with her, or at least he imagined he was. This new girl, however, could legitimately bring the entire plane crashing to the ground if nobody kept an eye on her! She was too much of an unstable mystery to be left to her own devises.
"What a lovely name you have, Shizune. Don't worry. Windia seems to have already gotten the entire situation under control. Nobody's going to die now... hopefully." He told Shizune and Aqua in the most reassuring voice he could muster. He needed to stay positive now more than ever since he was afraid negative thoughts would just spell their doom. "By the way, I believe I have yet to know your name, Miss." Aelius said to Aqua in particular. "And I still didn't get our card dealer's name too."
"Why the heck are there so much unstable people on this plane?" He thought.
"Oh and you haven't interrupted anything yet. We're supposed to play a card game but we haven't started just yet. So you're very much welcome to join us if you'd like! In fact, I insist that you join us, (
Hopefully, she decides to stay here and play cards with them. If Ael could keep her here at bay and make her forget about her interest with the cockpit, perhaps then they could arrive in Eden in one piece now instead of in a body bag.
