Silent Needs Excitement

Skipping along the hall was the bundle of energy that heavily contrasted her origin in the minds of other students who equated The Void to vast nothingness. She could tell anyone that that wasn't the case. But ask her cousin, and they'd get an additional history lesson.

Lorencia headed for the library to grab a book she found a few days ago that might grab Devias' interest. Just before entering, she took a deep breath to get herself into the appropriate mindset, since the last time she was here, the librarian didn't appreciate her being so loud.

But as soon as she got inside, all that preparation was for nothing as she continued to skip through as if she was in a field of flowers, humming a bouncy song. Luckily, the librarian today was the one Devias had befriended, and as such, the warning he gave to the girl sounded more like a suggestion.

In such a quiet place, Lorencia was humming a lot louder than she thought. She dialed it down of course, but she continued on skipping, albeit in a more subtle way. The book she was looking for was at the upper half of the shelves, and so she wasn't looking at where her feet were going. It wasn't long until she kicked something on the floor. She noticed the book first, which was flung some distance away, and then she saw a toy. She squatted down to look at it, and was about to pick it up when she noticed that what she saw was not a toy at all, but another student, looking at what it was wearing.

She gasped, cupping her hands over her mouth and nose. Then in the tiniest, squeakiest voice she could manage, she said with unparalleled excitement, "Oh my gosh, you're so cute!" Although, this being an excitable Lorencia in the library, her voice was loud enough to be heard half-way across the room.

And it talked too! But considering the large variety of species in this world, that wouldn't be surprising, but still, it delighted Lorencia to no end. "Oh, no no no no, I should be the one apologizing. I wasn't looking where I was going." Realizing that she might have just kicked the tiny person, she felt a whole lot of regret and embarrassment, her body not knowing whether to be horrified or heavily blush.

She almost let out another squeal of delight when she saw how his ears flicked out. He was so unbearably cute, that it was clear that Lorencia was battling her impulse to pick him up and maybe cradle him in her arms.

Looking to the book she had kicked, she quickly got up and retrieved it for the tiny student. She knelt down and sat on her heels, putting the book next to the person who was most likely been reading it. "H-here, sorry for kicking you and your book. I guess I wasn't expecting anyone to be there," Her voice was quieter now, having overcome the excitement. "I hope I didn't hurt you too much."

His ears fluttered too!? 'OH MY GOSH! HE IS SO CUTE!' How could something be so cute? Just how was it possible? Lorencia nodded a little when he said that it was hard to notice him, being the height that he was. Although that didn't change the fact that she had kicked him.

"It's nice to meet you, Helix! My name is Lorencia Hel'Sarie." She kept her voice low for Helix' sake, and also so she wouldn't be asked to leave for being so loud. "Where are you from, Helix? Are you new here?"
