>>12438117Since you're pretty early to work, you decide to look for Dawn to kill some time, maybe get a few words into her and see if you can break that ice shell of hers.
After failing to locate her, you do find her Piplup, who directs you to where she's at. If you hadn't known any better, you might have had the crazy assumption that her Piplup has more personality than her.
You find her walking the halls in a rather robotic manner, in such a way that there's no emotion put into it. It's not creepy to you, instead you find it rather...mystifying.
Or maybe you're just a big sucker for doll-like girls, whatever. At least no one can make fun of you for it!
~She's also hatless, a subtle indicator to the fact that she has no objective at the moment....That begs the question why she's killing time just walking about.
"U-Um, Dawn! Hey!" you say with that beta stutter of yours, one common of cowards.
"Pilot Lucas. Hello." she says in that monotone voice of hers, not even giving you visual acknowledgement.
Damn, she's gone back to referring to you formally. Back when those balloon nazis were attacking, she called you "Commander" seeing as how you were technically superior to her, but eventually she started calling you by your first name after warming up to you.
You can only hope that she really just doesn't want anyone at work to know what had happened that day, even though to be honest, it really wasn't all that much anyways. You're too pussy to get any pussy, it seems.
"U-Uh, soooo, what are you doing?"
You get a reply instantly.
"Walking."
Of course she is, what the hell else do you think she's doing? Stupid!
"O-oh, uh, do you mind if I walk with you then?"
"You already are."
You're blowing it, Lucas. You're blowing it!
>Talk to Dawn about...A) Work.
B) What she does outside of work.
C) Her likes and dislikes.
D) Tell her a joke.
