Jisa's sweet Melody

Running a around a bit all morning Jisa had been taking in all the special sights, games, and food stands. All excited and almost too excited to allow his bashful or at times shy nature hold him back during such a rush of energy and curiosity at such a time. He'd only often been able to ever eat food from either the cafeteria or dinners usually made up of foods from the select few good vending machines spread around campus. He didn't like to bother people over it and didn't have anyone to turn to for money so he had to simply make do with what he had at his disposal on campus given that's just how his life was now. 

He had been enthralled with the fried foods, as well as the severe sweets that only the sweetest of tooths would have been able to stand. He'd wanted to enjoy this as it seemed a great opportunity to get out of the slump he'd felt stuck in the last few days if not weeks as well. He couldn't allow the past no matter how much it hurt keep him down for good... He didn't want that.... She wouldn't have wanted that. 

He'd been walking with one arm holding onto a paper like bowl with fried BBQ in it placed on skewers. Pulling them out one at a time and eating them with all the gusto of a small child devouring their favorite meals. His face having a few spots where his fur was lightly mattered in sparse areas from the sauce sticking to his fur. But the fresh delicious food was almost overwhelming when most his dinners had been vending machine foods for the last little while so long. He sat on the bench next to the girl demolishing his snacks his eye side glancing and catching her as his fur bristled lightly unable to help feel something was a little off? Almost like a animal sense of things. His large ears perking and turning lightly in her direction directionally as some animals ears often did picking up all sorts of sounds around them. 

He'd hold out the bowl with skewers offering her one as he spoke with a sweet voice the small fluffy boy grinning a rather large innocent grin. "This is pretty cool isn't it? The whole festival idea for us? Would you like one of these they are really good! Its been so nice to be able to get some super good food for a change!" Trying to appear cheerful. "I'm Jisa, Are you here alone today or just waiting for your friends? What class are you in my cute friend. Might I ask your name?" Going nearly a mile a minute trying to appear kind and attempt to be friendly to make sure she too was having a grand day as he was. 

He could only chuckle at her sweet behavior, finding it amusing at her worry over his reaction to the food. He accepted it smirking with a large grin as he chewed it up gleefully with lightly puffed cheeks from joy over the flavor. "Oh don't worry about me, I can eat most anything. I don't think I have any allergies or anything like that, At lest none that I actually know of." Giving her a reassuring thumbs up and a light giggle to himself over the little idea of it all. 

He would chew and gnaw at his food slowly as they talked though. He wasn't used to food like this given for him when the cafeteria was closed that mainly meant vending machine food was his only fall back. So while the festival was going on there was so much good food he'd hardly been able to help himself from burning through what little savings he had. "Ah yea I remember you, Its nice to see you again Melody. Why wouldn't I remember you!?! You're so cute in your uniform! I wish I could have had a full cheer uniform but if I get overly insulated I get overheated too easily!" He'd say trying to have a conversation but not banter to much. There were times he tended to jump from point to point if he got nervous now and again. 

He seemed to think about what she said for a moment to busy to dig to deep in his own mind as the BBQ was just to good to overthinking things in the brief moments he was indulging himself. "Oh I'm usually always alone on things like this. Surprised your not with the others though... You seem like the kind who'd have friends for days to hang out with." He'd say smiling at her with a warm expression. His ears flopped lightly to one side. They'd constantly be tilting and readjusting each time she spoke or he'd move his head. 

He chewed at his food slowly listening to her smiling with perked ears the whole time. He always enjoyed times he got to be friendly or make more friends. The school had slowly but surely been making his life that much better and helping ease the pain of all the pains before he was able to reach this heroic halls. His face was stuffed as he quickly finished off his BBQ with extreme gusto. His mouth having a few clumps of hot sauce and BBQ sauce at the corners of mouth with a bit of his fur a little sticky in very small spots because of it. 

But as she spoke about her problems being shy and making friends before she'd even get to the part about him probably having allot of friends. His ears would have flopped down to the side of his eye and his large yellowish brown eyes would begin to not only slowly water but within moments seem to poor out tears at the idea of her not having many friends or being lonely. He'd wiggle on the bench pulling his legs up on it and wiggling over to her sitting on his knees looking adorably sad with watery eyes as the fur around his eyes slowly became wet from the pure years spilling forth. He just couldn't help how sad she looked in this moment.

"N-no! You're amazing, and pretty, and super nice, and super talented at the cheer dances. A-a-a-a-and." Struggling to continuously look for ways to praise her to try and cheer her up as her appearing so sad or upset was like a shock through his poor little pounding bunny heart. "We're friends okay! I'm really shy too and I have allot of trouble making friends but this school makes that allot better! Trust me I think everyone probably really likes you! At least I really do!" Trying to appear as a friend and make sure she had no doubt he saw her as one. He pulled his hands upward to his chest in a moment of sour sadness his little nos wiggling as well as his tail like a lightly upset bunny would. His ears flopping and wiggling lightly hanging down at the side of his head like they often did when he was upset or saddened. 

He sniffled wiping his nose on the back of his arm lightly as his fur around his snoot and eyes seemed lightly wet and matted from tears and just the light beginning of crying. His little chin and lip quivered lightly as she seemed to come around though. Not realizing how his reaction may have effected her. The idea of it lost to him as he just started to brighten at what she said. Small hands held to his chest as a large bright smile grew on his lips like a rising sunrise of glee and joy. 

"You really are Melody Chan! You're amazing! I want us to be good friends and... and... I know I'm kinda weird cause of my... well me. But I think we should be friends! I'm trying not to be shy since I came to this school and I know what its like not to have many people but this school has really changed allot of that for me! An.. An I feel if you let it it'll help you too!" Scooting closer to her as he seemed to walk on his knees closing the gap greeting right up close to her. It seemed he was stuck between a state of cheer and tears. He leaped to his feet standing on the bench 'almost' to her height as she spoke of games and began to cheer up. 

"YES! Games always help Melody! Lets go win a toy from those stands!" Pulling out a small coin purse with some yen jingling inside. "I'll have you know I can throw a mean ring in ring toss!"

He smiled heartily trying to hold back his emotions as he tried to cheer her up. Feeling a rush of glee evident in his bright grin as she seemed to agree. Sniffling a little bit though as small remains of his worry worked its way out of his system. He leaped from the bench when they got up to go play a game to relieve the grown worry and replace it with cheer as they'd spoke of. He had to hop though to get off the bench properly. Given his small height most benches, desks, and even the lunch table situations made it where he either had to hop on and off such chairs and usually had his legs dangling off the ends lightly as if he was really just some small child. The embarrassment of such things long since for the most part worn away as it was something he had to adjust to rather fast in his teenage life. Another one of those little things that just came along with being a mutant like he was. 

At the actual stand though he was able to gather a few coins and paid for a round or two of the game following up Melody's attempts. Trying not to gasp as a small paw covered his mouth as one of the rings nearly took out the stand owner! He wasn't sure if he should have chuckled or felt worried more. But thankfully the man didn't seem to get too... bothered by it. Standing here all day such accidents did probably happen from time to time after all. Jisa tried his hand after but of little luck as well. Each toss he took was over handed as from where he stood he could only partially peek over the edge of the stand's counter. A small nose peeking over the edge and tossing over handed so it would go over the small counter and be able to actually clear the distance. But each time as he tried to aim seemed a bit difficult as he had to stand on tip toes peeking over the edge for each throw. Small clinks made as they often hit the glass to bounce off in random direction. Unable to add much finesse as he couldn't throw properly and aim given his height and the counter being a light obstruction for him because of it. 

He did manage to get one around it sadly but alas it wasn't enough for a prize if you only managed to get one. He did seem to briefly tear up from the failure but quickly shook it off not wanting her to notice or think little of him in his failure. "Awww man, This things are always so tough... It looks so easy when other people do it. I wonder how its supposed to be done!" He said curiously to Melody with pouty and puffy cheeks from fluffy disappointment in their loss at this game.
