[It's a pretty ordinary day as ordinary days go. The weather's nice - sunny, warm, a calm wind...a very ordinary day indeed. And Norma is soaking up the peace and quiet in as much as she can. Dressed down in some dark skinny jeans (which she has learned as super freaking comfy) and a ruffly yellow top, she's laying on the grass by the bank of the southern lake. Usually, she'd be basking like this at the ocean, but that was just too far away this time, and she's feeling kind of lazy. Even the energetic ones have to buckle down and take a break to just relax once in a while.

She has a certain someone's hat (in black!) covering her face to keep off the sun and the insects that seem to be buzzing to life. The only bad thing about the springtime according to Norma. But, thankfully, not very many were out even now. She sighs under the hat crosses her hands behind her head to catch up on one hell of a nap.

...Until she hears a very peculiar buzzing in her ear. Thinking it to be a bug of some sort, she absently swats her hand at the sound, but it doesn't go away on little bit. It persists, and Norma frowns, using both hands now to swat the unyielding creature. Finally, she gets fed up and sits straight up, the hat flopping into her lap.]

OOOH, WILL YOU SHUT UP?! Some of us wanna take a nap in the sunshine, jeez!

[Yeah, that's all fine and dandy, miss, but there's not a damn thing around to be seen. In fact, the peculiar noise seems to be coming not from the flora or fauna, but from the lakefront. The water seems to be beckoning. Noisily. Or at least that's what it...seems like. Norma can't quite make out what the voice(?) really wants. If you could even call it a voice - kinda just an annoying noise.]

...Nessy? [No, no, can't be. Nerifes was back on her world, obviously. But wait, maybe it was one of those spirit thingies she heard about? Well, if that's right, then--] Jeez! It's about time! You're the water do-hickey person, right? I've been trying to get a hold of you for ever and you just wake me up like that?! Well, maybe I don't wanna talk anymore, how 'bout that? Not unless you got something good to say - or teach me or whatever. I could do with some water based eres under my belt.

[Later, after she's had her quip with Sona (who Norma's happily nicknamed So-Noisy),she opens her journal up as she dips her feet into the water of the lake.]

Uh, I don't usually ask for pointers on ere--uh, I mean...magic, but anyone who knows some good water spells or something, think you could give me a hand? I'm preeetty good with my elemental-based crystal eres, but I still don't know water, wind, and light. And just a little electricity.

I guess what I'm asking is if anyone's got magical talent, pipe up now, cuz I wanna learn more of it! Especially the ones I don't know! Oh, and I guess I could return the favor, too. I mean, if you wanna know some of what I know, I could give it a shot myself. Name's Norma by the way, for anyone who just got dumped here. Norma Beatty, expert treasure hunter and skilled eren in all aspects of offense, defense, and healing crystal eres, ta-daaah~!

And I'm cute, too. [Wink. ♥]

Somehow I reaaaaaaaally doubt they were secret to begin with.

[And he'll just go and sit down beside her because hey, inviting yourself when no one asked you to join is the cool thing to do.]

Soooo, how've you been doing? Set aside the crazy the Molasses sets down on us.

[Norma sticks her tongue out jut as Cross seats himself next to her, blowing a very attractive raspberry in his general direction. She is obviously the most mature eighteen year old that ever existed, truly. Mature and well-cultured teens for the epic win, amirite? At least Norma doesn't seem to care much at all with Cross inviting himself to take a seat.]

Better, definitely. Well, as better as anyone could be in this place, but...yeah, definitely better than I was feeling some time ago.

[He'd have grabbed that tongue out of her head, but he's a nice person so he'll leave it there. The most mature, and sophisticated too.]

Hmm? Sometime ago? Wanna talk about it? Or has it gone off into the wind?

[Norma pauses, but soon enough a smile's on her face as she straightens out the black hat on her head - Ace's hat that he left behind for her.]

Nah, it's nothing you gotta worry about, just the usual kinda grime this place likes to throw at us. I've gotten over it. [Lie, lie, lie. Norma will probably never get over that Ace's back home and dead. He was like her big brother, really and truly. It'll always hurt, but there's not reason to bring other people down with her.] What about you, though? You look...different.

[Have a nice long, invading your personal space stare. He's not totally sure if he should buy it, but, instead of nagging her to tell him, Cross leans back. He'll go with the subtle approach.]

If you're sure. Just don't hesitate to talk if you need to, okay?

[Her question to him, however, makes him put on his own falsified smile. While his issues with everything here have numbed a bit they were still there. He just won't say anything.]

Me? Well, I think my hair's a bit longer. I haven't gotten it cut in awhile.

[As he pulls on one of his bangs a bit.]

[Norma nods her head, waving his first few words off absently. Yeah, yeah...she's heard that spiel before, and she'll take the help when it's offered and when she really does need it. For now, Norma actually is in a relatively good place, and she's content to keep it that way for as long as she can.

After a spell though, and some more listening, Norma scrunches her eyebrows together and runs her hands through her own hair. It's definitely gotten longer, but not by too much, maybe a few inches - three at most.]

Yeah, mine's getting longer, too, but I dunno if I should actually go ahead and cut mine. I've had the same hairstyle for forever...I think something new would be nice, y'know? Maybe it'll look good on me, too!

[He's gotten that too, but, unlike Norma, he's never in a good place. He just chooses to deal with it on his own.

As for her hair...]

I think your hair looks fine the way it is. But, you know, whatever you feel is good is also good!...

That was a bit redundant wasn't it?

[She snorts and looks at him with a "you're an idiot" kind of look, a smile tugging the corners of her lips upright. Really? Jeez...at least he figured out what a stupid thing it was he said, but she does appreciate the compliment. Fluffing her hair out some, and flipping it over her shoulders after, Norma sticks her tongue out at nothing in particular.]

Thanks, but I dunno...maybe I will let it grow out. It's just that it sticks up every which way all the time. But I guess if it doesn't look good, I can always just cut it again... You on the other hand, as a guy, might look like a bushweed if you don't tame your mane from time to time.

[SURPRISE HAIR RUFFLE FLUFF - aka a noogie.]

[The look makes him shrug his shoulders a bit. Perhaps saying what he said before made him more endearing. A trait like that is always a valuable one.]

Your hair, your rules.

[As for her comment about his hair, he would protest...if she didn't just start giving him a noogie.]

H-hey, cut it out! My hair is plenty fine right now.

[Cue him going to shove his hand in her face to push her away. Playfully of course, and with the flesh one. Cause the metal one my hurt a bit.]
