Coming to Terms

"I see..." Tempest said sagely, and stood up. She was done hearing things about it.

"Ah, I believe we have a visitor~" Madoka announced, motioning to a hiding Natsumi.

"Oh! I- um, Captain Madoka, see, I-" Natsumi stammered, jumping out of her hiding place, "I wasn't eavesdropping or anything like that! Honest! I just came by for something!"

Both Tempest and Madoka smiled.

"It's all right, Natsumi." Madoka assured.

"Yeah. I was just leaving anyway." Tempest said absently, and wandered off out the door, leaving a confused Natsumi.

Tempest walked down the quiet corridors, many thoughts now flooding her mind. She wanted to speak to Jade, maybe they had something in common after all.

Gingerly, Tempest knocked on Jade's door. "Come in." Was the answer.

Tempest walked in and found Jade sitting on the bed, staring out the window.

"Hello." Tempest said, trying her best to sound friendly.
