after brief exchanges with her roommates, james disappears into her room where they are allowed their privacy to study and talk and...[break][break]

that's about it. or at least that's all james is expecting.[break][break]

"your roommates are nice."[break][break]

he comments over a chuckle as he glances around.[break][break]

"cute room."

"Mhm! They're the best."

The door behind them clicked shut, silencing the rest of the apartment.

If there was one word to describe Rory's room, it would be pink, with the second word being purple. From top to bottom, pink and purple frills decorated the small room, infecting the bedsheets with it's cute hues and the walls. On top of her bed, several plushed pokemon sat - mostly metal types - and several bookshelves were kept at either sides of the walls.

If one were to investigate these bookshelf, they'd come to find books ranging as far as mechanical innerworkings of motorized vehicles to a cheesy romance book detailing the story of a lost princess finding her way back home.

Regardless, it was a workable space.

"Sorry, it's a bit of a mess till," she sighed, plucking a stray jacket from her bedtop and hanging it behind her door. The room wasn't too dirty, besides a bit of clutter here or there, but for some reason, the young scientist couldn't help herself from offering an apology.

"You can take a seat anywhere. Oh! I forgot! Are you thirsty?"

pink and purple. so very pink and purple. he takes in her room for all that it is but not once is he surprised. too caught up in it, he doesn't register her question until a few seconds have passed.[break][break]

"oh! sorry, yes i am a little."[break][break]

he's curious to see whether she brings water, soda, or some sort of energy drink.[break][break]

"and don't worry about the mess. it's so much cleaner than my space."

She didn't even bother asking about his preference, as they were only one thing on the menu tonight: water and more water.

Skipping over to the corner of her room, she knelt beneath her bed and dug into a small gray mini fridge. It was kept snugged between her tucked drawers, just big enough to hold no more than a few bottles of water and some snacks. She pulled out two bottles and handed one over to him.

"Here."

Next, she grabbed the promised chips. Salt and Vinegar, just the way he liked them.

"And some snacks," she smiled, dropping it onto the bed. Next came her own body, as she gently slipped onto the corner of her bed, bringing her legs into a polite criss-cross. "So! How shall we start?"

"oh sick you have your own mini fridge."[break][break]

not sure why that appeals to him so much but it does. he accepts the bottle of water with a smile, nodding his gratitude before taking a long swig.[break][break]

seeing how she bought his favorite chips has him smiling in a way he hasn't for a while now. at least not since their trip to the festival.[break][break]

he slips into her bed as well after dropping his bag onto the floor.[break][break]

"um, well i was thinking maybe we could just do a mock interview? i'll ask you a couple of questions and see where we go from there?"

It was a bit nerve-wracking being left alone with James like this. He was a nice guy, there was no doubt about that, but in all the novels she'd read, something always first happens in situations like this. Behind closed doors, in the comfort of one's own bed.

In fact, she could easily pinpoint an exact scene from a recent novel she'd dug into that started the same way. They were lab partners, looking to get a project done, when the female lead dropped a pencil, to which the male lead also reached down to grab for her, bringing their hands together for the briefest kiss of a touch.

"Um, sure, sounds good."

She readjusted herself, turning her body to face him. Her hands folded on her lap.

"Ready when you are."

james is completely unaware of anything rory may be feeling as a result of their close proximity. to him, he's just here to help her prepare.[break][break]

but he's not completely oblivious. he knows that this privacy they're in allows for a more intimate setting. maybe he feels nervous because of that as well.[break][break]

"alright."[break][break]

he swallows, then starts.[break][break]

"rory faust...can you tell me a little about yourself?"

"Well," She began, nerves already biting at her cheeks. There was no stopping the splotches of red from infecting her pale cheeks. The fact that James was now notably closer than before didn't help, too.

"My name's Rory Faust. I recently graduated from the University of Slateport with a bachelor's in mechanical and electrical engineering."

Uptalk infested her voice, turning confidence into a far-off dream she'd once conceived during a night's rest.

"I previously interned at..." Her mind drew to an abrupt pause. No matter how hard she searched, no answer arrived on her tongue. Whenever one did, one look into James' eyes was all it took for it to get lost again.

Eventually, she gave up.

"God, I'm awful at this."

Cheeks red, eyes squeezed shut, she buried her face into her hands.

when she talks, he finds himself leaning closer, listening intently to what she says.[break][break]

"no, you're not! you're fine."[break][break]

he does his best to reassure her but he's also not the best at interviews so there isn't much he can do, really.[break][break]

"okay, how about this...why do you think you're a good fit for aeos?"

"because I love what I do."
[break][break]
One hand at a time, her mask of fingers is dropped, leaving her red bulbs of embarrassment out in the open. She kept her gaze set on the carpet, too nervous to meet his.
[break][break]
It would only leave her tongue more tangled than it already was.
[break][break]
"And I'm good at it. It's what I was born to do."
[break][break]
Her fingers wind into the wrinkles of the sheets, nervous.

"And if I could use that passion to actually help people, I would do anything to prove myself abled. I don't know how else to put it." .

His praise fanned her confidence into a burst of flickering flames. Smiling, her eyes lit up and a buzz trickled down her arms and back.
[break][break]

"Really? You think so?"
[break][break]

Her voice peaks into a soft, tight-pitched shrill. Then, a sudden splash of silence. She recoiled back into herself, shaking off the excitement. Back to it.
[break][break]
"I'd say I'm pretty good at working in a team-based setting. I love collaboration and thrive in it! I'm also pretty meticulous and thorough - I'm not one to miss a mistake!" .
