I… [Pauses, collecting herself] I am Veda. [None of her memories from before were of someone with a personality like this. Perhaps this wouldn’t be as difficult or dangerous as she’d let herself believe.]

N-nice to meet you, Miss Veda. [He still can’t imagine why the Powers that Be wanted them to kiss] So … are you new in the city?

It is nice to meet you as well. [Though how, she has yet to figure out. So far nothing has happened, so staying should prove to be similar.] No, I have been here for… five months, now.

Really? Th-that’s kind of neat. I only moved here b-back in November. From Anderson’s Field. [Awkward smile as he tries to make conversation] S-so, what do you do?

[Still blushing a little, but he feels a bit better now] I-it’s all right. [Weak chuckle] To tell the truth, I’m not keen on k-kissing someone I don’t know either. Sh-shall we forget it?

[Laughing nervously, eyes darting back and forth as she smiles weakly] If… if it is alright with you, then y-yes. That would be fine.

[Smiles, trying to reassure her. It’s a bit of a relief to see that she’s feeling just as awkward as he is.] Works for me. [Pauses] So, y-you know my name. May I ask yours?

I… [Pauses, collecting herself] I am Veda. [None of her memories from before were of someone with a personality like this. Perhaps this wouldn’t be as difficult or dangerous as she’d let herself believe.]
