Akira had spent ALOT of time inside since she left the hospital. The lose of her children had taken alot out of her and she still wasn't quite herself. She had forced Cirrus to leave her alone for once and left the house just walking around the neighborhiid. She didn't have a reason to be out or a destination in mind. She just wanted to be outside and try and ride herself of the heavy weight that she couldn't seem to shake.

Kaliri was still trying to get her bearings, and thought she'd go out for a while, get a feel for the neighborhood again. So many faces she thought she half-recognized, gone again in a matter of seconds as they disappeared into the crowd.
She turned a corner, and stood musing at the buildings and people for a moment. Surely she knew this corner, if she could only think back...

Akira's eyes were on the ground and only avoided running into people by avoiding the feet that would come into her vision. Her hand were in her pockets and even though it was a warm day she was wearing a long sleeved shirt with a t-shirt over it. Her chest seemed to be bound once more even though she was no long hiding her gender, it just felt more comfertable for her.

kaliri took a step backwards, not bothering to look behind her. She could feel the movements of others through the ground, but that only made her frustration worse. She tried to ignore it, and as a result, almost backed up right into a person passing by.

Akira paused and backstepped when she was about to gett hit by someone paying even less attention to where they were walking then she was. 'What it.' She said to Kaliri but there wasn't alot of emotion mixed int with her words.

Kaliri stopped moving, cursing under her breath at her bad fortune to nearly topple the second person in two days. she turned slightly, raising an eyebrow at the other girl, but saying nothing more than " 'Scuse me" and then proceeding to mumble a few added curses under her breath. She had no idea where she'd learned them, but they semed to be sharp enough to express herself at the moment... to... herself....
She turned around a bit more, facing the other girl, her right hand clutched onto the bulk of her right arm. "You know which streets these are? I'm all turned around." She asked. She kept her voice as free from harshness as she could, but some of her frustration seeped through anyway.

Akira paused and rose her head to look at the girl. Akira looked very much like a guy when her chest was bound the way it was. Her eyes were less then friendly but there didn't seem to be alot of life in them to back up the harsh glare. "Do I look like your tour guide?"

Kaliri blinked a moment, taken back by Akira's hair. In some ways, it was very much like her sister's, and the image that painted itself over Akira's face made her own turn ghostly white. Her eyes went large and she pulled back slightly, her chest heaving as she tried to breathe.
She stammered stupidly, a stream of words she didn't really hear herself say as she struggled against the onslaught.
"Muh-uh I... I didn't... I'm sorry... no, I was just-..."

Things were slow at the shop, so Suoh had been sent home. If there was one thing he enjoyed more than working in a piercing parlor, it was not working at all and he had every intention of making the most of his new found leisure by doing as little as humanly possibly. No one knew he had the afternoon off. There was no one to make demands on his time. Cigarette dangling for him lips, he sauntered casually through the residental area with his hands in his pockets, his blond hair in his eyes.

Akira didn't think she had done anything enough to make this person this flustered. She thought for a moment and couldn't piece it together. "What's your problem?" She asked the stumbling girl in a it better be good kind of tone.

Kaliri shook her head. She tried to make her voice work, but she found it difficult to speak past the large lump in her throat. She took a second, staring down at the side of the nearest building, and cleared her throat, shaking her head again to clear it.
"I'm... I'm sorry... you just remind me... of someone."
She frowned, a flood of half-formed memories coursing through her mind as she looked back up at Akira, the look of horror gone, but a look of new understanding replacing it. No longer did Kaliri see the mask of the dead girl's face, but this new person in fine detail.

Normally, Suoh would have passed on by the two since there seemed to be some sort of disagreement. It was none of his business, and it was bound to be more trouble than it was worth. He was tied, even if it was figuratively. But there was something about the young woman's confusion that struck him. He knew that kind of confusion.
"There a problem?" he asked casually, his hands still in his pockets.

Akira looked over at Souh when he spoke and away from the girl. "Only with my face it would seem." Akira said looking back at Kaliri. "Who are you?"

Kaliri frowned, the rude question unnecessary. But it would be equally rude not to answer the girl.
"My name is Okanei Kaliri. I'm... sorry for my reaction. You just... remind me of things I had forgotten." She scowled for a moment down at the cornerstone of a nearby house. her right hand rubbed up and down her left arm absently, and this time she didn't even have the presence of mind to stop it.

Suoh studied Akira for a moment and shrugged. "It's a bit unfortunate, but there's always personality? Perhaps I can offer the lady something a little easier on the eyes." He turned to Kaliri and flashed his roguish half-smile with a wink.
